The Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi is a nation started many months ago (records show May 2007, but this may or may not be accurate). Stoklomolvi is a relatively large nation that has been stripped bare by uranium mining operations and it is monitored by the Stoklomolvi Military Police Force (SMPF). Its population of 879 million are constantly under strict watch by the government, which measures the country's success by the GDP and commonly refers to the citizens as literal "human resources". As such, all citizens own nothing; they are taxed to the fullest extent of a 100% income tax rate. The government focuses on Defence and Law and Order, with other aspects receiving relatively low or no funding at all.

History

Early History

Stoklomolvi was first "founded" as the tribe of Stelimov, a small duchy that existed from 4233 B.C. in the region near modern-day Manchuria and the Russian Federation. Chieftain Boris Yarsltiv and his followers wandered the region for decades before finally settling near the Yalu River. They dubbed the city Vladistov, after one of the lower chieftain's father, Grigoris Vladimrubin. The fertile river valley served the people well, and they flourished.

Over time, other tribes were consumed by Stoklomolvi, and the region of influence of Stoklomolvi grew large. When the peoples of Stoklomolvi finally made the decision to cross the river, however, they were repelled with a force indescribable for that era. Scores of spearmen and archers charged across the river, only to be forced back by the combined forces of tribes located in modern-day North Korea. Defeated, the men retreated, and they fortified the river in 1218 B.C.E.

Wars were waged in the North as well. Stoklomolvi defeated tribe after tribe until they had reached the Eastern Sea. There, they were able to establish flourishing fishing communities as well as profitable lumber operations. However, due to the rocky soil, only small farms were constructed, and food shortages were common. Peasants grew more disgruntled, and by 712 B.C.E. they knew that the government needed change.

Uneventful years passed, with Stoklomolvi advancing northward and filling in unsettled blocks. Tribes started actively joining Stoklomolvi, and the size of Stoklomolvi grew. Thousands of years seemed to pass without a trace of anything happening. However, a coup was staged, and the despotic government was overthrown. A republic was estabilshed, and the newly-formed Parliament began to form laws.

Soon afterwards, the Republic of Stoklomolvi was stabilised, and nothing happened over the next few hundred years. Eventually, however, barbarian forces from the north-east began to attack Stoklomolvi. The republic began to destabilise as the people began to revolt against the weak government. However, a man named Iosef Nomstoy Stuyonovich rose to power in a coup in 40 C.E.

Stoklomolvi Empire

Iosef was born a peasant, but had eventually learned many of the arts of writing. He gained supporters, and was able to overthrow the Parliament, which was laden with corruption. With the iron block thrown out of the way, Iosef raised a massive army out of the local peasant population. He marched the army northwards, and drove the barbarians away. The barbarians, reaching the large peninsula, were forced into the sea. Iosif soon died in 72 C.E. Stoklomolvi claimed this land as its own, and the empire reached the height of its size. The empire stretched from the Eastern Sea all the way past the modern-day Ural Mountains and even went past the Duchy of Muscovy in 412 C.E.

As the empire grew larger, the leaders began to grow corrupt. Theye made deals that lined his own pockets. Theye backstabbed allies and forcibly stole their lands. They even killed off members of their own families who disagreed with him. Slowly, the people banded together, and overthrew the despotic government in 512 C.E.

The next in line, Zeitsev, was an incompetent ruler. He did not know how to make decisions, and was tricked by his ministers. As such, he was killed during a riot of peasants in 580 C.E. The man after him was his brother, Pyotr Stuyonovich.

Stoklomolvi Monarchy

Pyotr established the Stoklomolvi Monarchy, and a Constitution was drafted. The Stoklomolvi Constitution for a Greater Stoklomolvi was signed by forty-five delegates in 583 C.E. It established a stable federal government, and Pyotr as the king. Two houses, the House of Commons and the House of Lords, were formed. The Commons represented the large peasant population, while the Lords represented the nobility.

The stable monarchy lasted much longer than the empire. Pyotr, a very fair and excellent ruler, was able to rule the people of Stoklomolvi with a just hand. A statue was erected for him in Vladistov, and people from all over Stoklomolvi wrote songs of praise. However, the sad day came when Pyotr passed away in his sleep, and the whole country dressed in red and yellow to mourn the loss of their beloved leader.

Farnshev

Pyotr's son, Farnshev, attempted to follow his father's footsteps. He helped to conduct much research, and the first crossbow was invented in 702 C.E. He tried to stay peaceful, like his father, and he was soon named "The Negotiator". He travelled from parts of the country to the next, and he drove hard bargains. He formed alliances with small neighbouring countries, and conducted much trade. The people slowly learned tu trust Farnshev, and poems were written about him. Farnshev was able to avoid becoming a corrupted despot, and ruled fairly until his death in 772 C.E.

Brotherly Hate

Farnshev had two sons and one daughter. The daughter was married off to a rich nobleman in the north-eastern portion of Stoklomolvi. The two brothers, however, disagreed over many things, including who was the rightful heir. They waged a war, with Neil Stuyonovich controlling the White Army while Karl Stuyonovich controlled the Red Army. Villages were flattened by constant catapult bombardments, and farms were torched by marching troops. Eventually, Neil was shot in the chest during combat. Karl, in sympathy, rushed over to Neil's dying body on his horse. The two brothers reunited for a moment, and Neil passed away in 840 C.E. Karl, deeply saddened, suffered from a stroke soon afterwards and died in 841 C.E.

The Tyrant

Karl had but one child named Ivan. Ivan Stuyonovich was awaiting for this moment so that he could stick his grubby hands into Stoklomolvi's national coffers. However, one of his ministers realised his devious plans and attempted to form a coup. Ivan noticed the minister's odd behaviour, and ordered for the Imperial Guard to storm the minister's house. The minister, noticing the odd congregation of troops outside of his farm, quickly rushed and hid in the Stoklomolvi countryside for weeks. Eventually, Ivan forgot about the minister, and started stealing money from the treasury. The national debt soared as Ivan spent millions of stoklomovs on jewellry and gold. The minister, angered by what Ivan was doing to his people, purchased a sword from a local arms dealer. The minister walked calmly to the Imperial Palace, and informed the guards that he was a diplomat. He strode into Ivan's office, gallantly brandishing the sword, and walked up to the king. With a single stroke of his sword, he decapitated the corrupted king in 852 C.E. He climbed through the roof and displayed the head for all to see.

Regrowth

Most cheered; others were saddened that the king had died. However, the country fared much better afterwards. Ivan's only son, Nikolai, became king, and he swore to follow the footsteps of his great-grandfather. Nikolai was a just ruler, and many people loved him. Nikolai signed fair deals with small countries and helped them to expand, and he eliminated the national debt by selling off all of the jewellry and gold and printed paper currency. However, tragedy struck Stoklomolvi when the western portion of Stoklomolvi was conquered by the Grand Duchy of Muscovy. A few years later, the Golden Horde conquered the central portion of Stoklomolvi. Nikolai threatened war, but when the Golden Horde responded by laying siege to many Stoklomolvi fortresses and redoubts, Nikolai sued for peace. When peace was restored, the people were angered by how he handled the situation. Some were upset that he backed down. Others were angered by his cowardice. In any matter, Nikolai was assassinated in 922 C.E. with only one heir.

His heir ended up being another Pyotr and was actually named Pyotr; gallant, brave, honourable, etc., and improved Stoklomolvi very much. The people erected statues in villages, composed songs and wrote poems. Nothing of true importance happened for almost a millenia; the people just lived in happiness of the very long Stoklomolvi Golden Age. Resources were obtained from all over the country, the coffers were filled to the brim with gold and silver, and the people had never been happier. The Golden Age finally ended in 1850 C.E., when a king had listened to Karl Marx's teachings, and had decided to make Stoklomolvi the exhibition of true Communism.

Stoklomolvi Dominion

The king, Svisklov, was intrigued by Karl Marx's words and decided to make the country communist. The official conversion was on 1854 C.E., when the king had officially converted the country to communism. During this rebellious period, the king formed the Stoklomolvi Military Police Forces, or SMPF for short. He also eliminated the title of "king", and instead he replaced it with "commissar". Svisklov declared himself to be the first commissar, and named himself Commissar Svisklov the Great.

Minor Decline

He ruled for many years using an iron fist until year 1901 C.E., when he perished while out fishing from a stroke. Commissar Roy Pilnimov rose to power in a coup, overthrowing the Stuyonovich line. He imposed martial law, and armed SMPF marched around cities killing all who opposed his rule. He even took Stoklomolvi a step backwards, going away from industrialisation and moving towards a total despotic totalitarian state.

Return to the Stuyonovich Line

Eventually, a force led by Aleksandr Stuyonovich marched into Vladistov and started to fire on the Imperial Palace using bolt-action rifles. Roy's SMPF started turning on him, and they too started to attack the palace. Roy was enraged, and started using his own rifle to shoot at the rioters. When he stuck his head out of his window, however, he was picked off by an SMPF sniper. Aleksandr took power, and he restored the Stuyonovich line. He ruled much like his ancestors, and ruled with a fair and just hand. He removed the martial law, and started to industrialise. However, he remained cautious about the dominion, and kept the SMPF in action.

World War I

The people responded with much cheering and erected statues for him as well. The older statues were restored in the 5-Year Restoration Plan. In this plan, all artifacts of Stoklomolvi's age would be restored to their former glory. Palaces were reconstructed and opened as museums, and old fortresses were kept and opened to the public. In 1915 C.E., however, a war reached the shores of Stoklomolvi. A number of foreign cruisers from a nearby colony in the mainland started bombarding the Stoklomolvi shores. Taking immediate action, Stoklomolvi opened fire with its massive 120 millimeter shore guns. Although the ships were obliterated, the morale of the Stoklomolvi people was not. They knew that the Germans could actually invade.

World War II

However, this fear disappeared after the colony was reclaimed by the mainland. World War I ended a few years later, and all was well again. Elsewhere, a Great Depression struck, and it seemed that markets everywhere closed. Stoklomolvi did not really care, seeing as to how it did not interact with those countries and only traded with small neighbouring countries. Soon afterwards, however, World War II broke out. The nearby island nation, which Stoklomolvi has dubbed The Island [Japan] due to not knowing the country's name, invaded the lower peninsula and destroyed many cities. Stoklomolvi pleaded the unknown invaders to stop, but they refused to do so.

Nuclear Weaponry

As such, Stoklomolvi issued an official declaration of war on The Island. The Island responded with an attack on the western-most section of Stoklomolvi [Manchuria] and sent their ships to destroy our navy. Our navy fared very well, and The Island's invasion was repelled without much difficulty. A few years later, what seemed to be a giant mushroom sprouted out of two areas on The Island as spotted by our aerial observation crafts. The war ended, and Stoklomolvi regained its lost land. Stoklomolvi remained intrigued by the massive bombs, and commenced research on nuclear bombs of their own.

Modern Day

Stoklomolvi committed much energy to research, and eventually invented the first sattelite, the Spitnuk I. A few years later, the Sputnik I was released by a local nation, and the world recognised their sattelite but not Stoklomolvi's. This angered Stoklomolvi, but not much could be done. Uneventful years passed in Stoklomolvi, and Aleksandr died in 1992 C.E. His son, Alexei Stuyonovich, rose to power, and continues to serve as the Commissar of the Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi.

Politics and Legislature

Currently, Stoklomolvi is engaged in trade with many of its small sattelite nations. It currently has established one embassy Vanek Drury Brieres, and ambassadors James and Elizabeth Thoery have been stationed there. Numerous nations currently have political ties with Stoklomolvi. Vanek Drury Brieres, North Calaveras, New Brittonia, Zoingo, and Alfegos have established embassies in Stoklomolvi. Commissar Alexei has sent his son, Boris, to attend school at Yarkai International School in Cazelia, where he hopes for his son to gain a wealth of knowledge during his stay.

Constitution

Currently, a Constitution for Stoklomolvi is being written. Commissar Alexei is overseeing the operation.

Citizens and Rights

Civilians currently must swear to an oath in order to become a citizen. Currently, the oath is below.

Oath

The official oath of Stoklomolvi is as follows: "I pledge allegiance, to this flag, which symbolises my ties to Stoklomolvi. I swear to only perform actions my government wishes me to perform, I swear to say whatever my government wishes for me to say, and I swear to never revolt against the government lest I be eliminated from all records and sight.

I swear to uphold to all laws which the government imposes upon me.

I swear to pay all taxes which the government imposes on me.

If I fail to uphold any of the above, then I recognise that the government may eliminate me. If I fail to uphold any of the above, the government may strip me of all honour and my citizenship, as well as eliminate me. And I am fully willing to swear to this oath to the Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi."

Shortened Version

This version is currently sworn to by commoners during the annual obligatory allegience convention which takes place in every city square. "I pledge allegiance to Stoklomolvi, and that if I fail to uphold to any law then I will be punished accordingly."

Reasoning

"The reason why the oath is harsh in this way", as quoted from the Commissar, "is to instill fear within the populace and to ensure that they remain loyal to the government." There have been reports of other countries rebelling against their governments, and the Commissar wishes to avoid that fate. Other countries have oaths that give bonuses to those who do what they are supposed to, but the Commissar states that that is what only the weak do. He has absolute faith in the SMPF.

Rights

All citizens are constantly under watch by the Stoklomolvi Military Police Force (SMPF) using cameras, phone taps, indentification codes for every known individual, and internet watching. The SMPF consists of hundreds of thousands of people, and every single officer has at least an M10 pistol. Some have more advanced assault rifles, such as the AK-2132 or the AK-2130.

Government Ministries

The many ministers of the Stoklomolvi Government are all appointed personally by the Commissar. There are no elections, and there is only one party; "There need be no elections if there is nothing to vote for," as quoted of the Commissar during a press conference.
