Political informations

The birth of the nation

Freedonia's history began on the dawn of the world, when first settlers arrived from Asia. Conquered by the Ruman empire in the 300 BC, the country become one of its most important provinces.

The kings' manor
After the fall of the empire, on 300 AD, Freedonia known a relatively period of peace, guided by the king Charolus IV: the Freedonia king dinasty continued to rule for about 600 years.

When the monarchy fell, the nation known a period of anarchy: at its end, the Turtlish empire claimed the sacred Freedonia soil as a colony. It was the darkest period of Country's history. The most important thinkers and indipendentist, like Ernest von Ukas (the famous painter) and Salvador Aaglo (sculptist) were forced to abandon the nation and to go on exile.

A Freedonian fighter

Only on 1917, when the great patriot Paulo Ribeiro guided the Freedonian fighters to the victory, the Republic of Freedonia became a reality. After this great example of strategy, he retired on a caribbean archipelago, when seems he founded a new nation...

Current situation

Freedonia's governments were unable to manage the national coffers, and a monstrous debit grown on the last 20 years. Then, the admnistrators' challenge is now to improve the situation.

United Nations Activity

With this status, it has proposed several resolutions.

International Court of Justice resolution

Freedonia had proposed the International Court of Justice resolution on March 2005, but it had failed the majority. The aim of the resolution was the creation of an international Juridical body that certifies the application of all treaties and resolutions approved by the General Assembly, but the fear of the limitation of national soveregnity and the anti-UN campaign by more UN members had killed this idea.
