The Federal Republic of Omigodtheykilledkenny was founded in 1785 by desperate pilgrims seeking to escape oppression and persecution by the bloodthirsty Killer Prostitutes of the fearsome Nath Nath Death Cult in their home country, the name and location of which has since been misplaced. Luckily, the weary travelers found the spacious and mostly unpopulated continent of Ameranta, and soon made contact with other infant nations in the region.
Founded on a centrist democratic tradition, the Omigodtheykilledkenny government has since become a virtual wholly owned subsidiary of the national corporate conglomerate. Economic freedoms are unparalleled, corporate dominance is near-absolute, economic restrictions and regulations are almost non-existent, and members of the national labor force enjoy no guaranteed rights. This has resulted in a massive economic boom, bringing the leading corporations in the nation's top industries of Internet technology, uranium mining, arms manufacturing and cattle-farming to the forefront of cutting-edge technologal advances and international trade and commerce.
Though according to the U.N. the Federal Republic is a notorious "corporate bordello," the nation still maintains a strong democratic tradition and a mind for human rights. Its people and laws embrace free speech for adherents of even the most radical and unpopular ideologies.
Omigodtheykilledkenny joined the United Nations upon its founding and instantly became an outspoken opponent of legislation infringing on national sovereignty. It has opposed bans on chemical and biological arms and has strived to repeal the U.N. "Protection of Dolphins Act." The Federal Republic briefly left the U.N. during its stay in the region of Valdesia, which forbade U.N. membership, but was elevated to delegate status after it founded its own region in the Antarctic.
In 1990, the people of the Federal Republic elected Manuelo Fernanda, a former amateur boxer going by the title "The Destructor from Del Fuego, Mexico." Sponsored by Blast! Cola, Fernanda had pledged to address the threats posed by rogue nations with weapons of mass destruction, and furthermore promised "to kick some serious terrorist ass!" He accused his rather bland opponent (who was sponsored by Granny Smith Computers) of being unpatriotic, and was elected in a landslide.
In 1991, Fernanda made due on his promise to stamp out rogue nations. Omigodtheykilledkenny (then still situated on the Amerantan continent) expressed its alarm at the threats of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction posed by the rogue, oil- and blood-soaked desert region of Valdesia, and soon invaded the hostile nation of Lois-Must-Die, forcing regime change and holding elections, which resulted in the rise to power of another evil dictator, but a much more Ameranta-friendly one. For years, Omigodtheykilledkenny maintained a massive military presence in Lois-Must-Die, increasing its intelligence capabilities in that troubled region.
Five years later, the Federal Republic expressed its intention to leave Ameranta if its left-wing would not halt its expulsions of nations it deemed to "dictatorial" for the "democratic" region. It did leave, cutting a deal with Valdesia's founder to realign much of its occupying forces in Lois-Must-Die in exchange for Valdesian real estate. A 2000 seismic catastrophe destroyed Valdesia and enveloped most of its nations, only a few escaping to an Antarctic refuge, including the Federal Republic.
