About
The Sovereign Christian Republic of Okielahoma is a nation of many peoples a land shared by two main ethnic groups and background. Okielahoma is a very religious country and bible fights have been known to break out in the middle of streets. Okiean citizens take full advantage of lax firearms laws, as nearly 82% of Okiean houshold own a firearm.
Pre Sovereign History
Present day Okielahoma was settled around 8500BC by Proto-Indo-European hunters from neighboring Willink. These hunters settled on the Red River, which runs through the heart of Eastern Okielahoma. Around 3000 years ago a massive meteor shower created one of Okielahoma's most stuning natural phenomena, Crater Lakes and Crater Canyons.
In 748 BC the first real city, Norman, was created along the lower Red River. The city was destroyed by raiding Minoans in 534AD (The city was rebuilt by the Russians in 1632). The Minoans had gained control of all of Okielahoma by 568AD, facing little resistant from the native peoples, the Okiya. In 736AD Okielahoma came under the control if a Slavic state, Belozersk-Willinkiav, as part of the Belozersk province.
In 1136 AD Byzantine conquereors took all of Okielahoma (Minus the northern peaks) under the control of Constantinople. Christianity was introduced and soon the majority of the populace was converted to Christianity. The Byzantine rule transfered to Ottoman but ended in abruptly 1556 AD as Okielahoma and Willink became part of the Habsburg Empire. While Willink was captured by the Spainish two years later, in 1558, the Okieans remained faithfully under Habsburg control for almost 200 years.
In In 1724 Peter I of Russia Declared war on the Holy Roman Empire in an attempt to seize Okielahoma, in a successful campaign leading to the defeat of mercenary armies of Okiya natives. In 1730 Imperial Russia had set about modernizing Okielahoma, with the building of new palaces, churches, and governmental institutions under the supervision of Catherine I.
The next 100 years were marked by a movement of Okiean citizens eastward, to the open plains and lakes. Many Okieans began to resent Russian rule and in 1850, while under the rule of Nicholas I, the territory rebelled along with Willink. The two territories united and on February 16th, 1850 officially gained independance from Russia. For the next 12 years Okiean nationalists gained thousands of signatures from citizens and on February 13th, 1862, petitioned succesfully for independance from Willink.
Religion
Early Missionaries Okielahoma is a fiercly religious country. The native Okiya peoples beleived in many gods but one true God unites Okieans and Okiya alike today. The Byzantines of the 12th century introduced the native Okiya to Christianity and the natives took a strange attatchment to the religion, mixing it in with their own. Byzantine missionaries established missions in the lake country of Lexington, and a small town soon grew out of a particularly large mission on the lake.

NationStates Bio
The Sovereign Christian Republic of Okielahoma is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 832 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.
Public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and dark alleys and public toilets are filled with furtive sexual activities among teenagers and unmarried adults. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Okielahoma's national animal is the Longhorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Haven Pound.
