The Reresurrected Superpower of Nanakaland
The Reresurrected Superpower of Nanakaland has been through a lot as a nation and will go through much more. Founded in March 2003, it has ceased to exist, been resurrected, been non-existant again, and then reresurrected recently. It has had many different types of government and has been in many different alliances. With over 2 billion people, many allies, and a good economy, it is a powerful nation. To understand it better, one needs to read its history and more details about it.
History
(See Also Michael Smith)
The Nanakan Empire (The Ancient Age)
The Nanakan Empire was an era in which Elven kings ruled Nanakaland and its surrounding lands. After a rebellion and a very costly war, the empire collapsed. The elves lived quiet lives in the Nanakan Forest and the humans became humble farmers. The population declined to one-eighth of the empire's population and they lived in isolation for years until the next age.
The Colonial Days (The Revolutionary Age)
The Nanakan people built the Government Castle in Nanakapolis and changed their language from Nanakan to Latin. They created a Senate, in which the sign still is there above the Senate Chamber - SENATVSNANAKVS (which is literally Nanakan Senate in classical Latin). However, famine, which decreased its population to half of what it was, led to the British invasion and subjugation of the Nanakan peoples after just seven years of the Nanakan Republic. The loyalists to the republic fled to the Nanakan Forest to live with the elves for decades to come.
In the early 19th century, the British Empire was weaker and they could no longer provide the human resources needed to manage the Nanakan Dominion. Loyalists to the senate surrounded Government Castle and the British fort across the street (later renamed to Fort Nanaka). The British surrendered without an actual conflict. More national disasters and the first two world wars stopped Nanakaland from becoming a mainstream nation. However, some of the benefits from the British were the English language and the Christian religion, two of the things that shaped Nanakaland.
The First Age of Nanakaland (The Democratic Age)
[RL Time: March - June 2003]
The Nanakans' homeland was abandoned, but refugees created a Republic of Nanakaland in the Black Sea region and joined the Black Sea alliance (a force that helped cause World War 4). Nanakaland moved around regions and alliances during the actual WW4 until it was crippled and collapsed.
The Second Age of Nanakaland (The Resurrected Age)
[RL Time: November 2003 - June 2004]
Brought back later, the Second Age was Nanakaland's most glorious one. The Nanakan people returned to the ancestral homeland and repopulated the nation. Nanakaland grew a lot and formed many alliances (and an organization called the Legion of Defense). Port Nanaka grew from a small town to a bustling city. Nanakaland was in the Kingdom of the Midlands region and prospered until it was suddenly destroyed by an accident of a mad scientist, thus ending Nanakaland's longest era.
The Third Age of Nanakaland (The Reresurrected Age)
[RL Time: November 2004 - Present]
Nanakaland was frozen and became a giant glacier. However, it recently melted and the Nanakan people are prepared to have a new election. The Underground, not frozen during this period, is a group of people who lived underground in bunkers through the years when Nanakaland was frozen and now think that they should try to secretly rule Nanakaland. President Michael Smith is assumed dead after an "accident" lighting the bunker on fire during a briefing [though he is secretly alive, no one knows (yet)]. Nalonis, an elf, is the interim President who is running for the Centrist Party in the upcoming election. A civil war may be on the horizon and after that, no one knows what will happen to the nation, but many think that the Legion of Defense (LoD) will be brought back and a regime change is on the horizonª.
ªPresident Michael Smith is a war hero from the early days of the First Age of Nanakaland. He is part-elvin and is immortal (can't die of old age, hard to kill, but not 100% immortal). He has been President, winning elections (most of them in landslides) since the later days of the First Age. He has finally decided not to run again this election (just before the bunker accident), so this upcoming election will be close.
More than history to come later. More detailed history to come later.
The First, Second, and Third Ages were actually RPed in NationStates, all the others are fictionally made up. The Second Age and possibly the Third Age had a parallel with Future Tech.
