The Terra Solva of Thingamajiggers is a massive, socially progressive nation. It boasts an enormous population as a result of being the oldest standing country in the region of Thorin. Dedicated to being a liberally-minded, free land, the UN currently ranks it as an "innoffensive centrist democracy", although it once referred to it as a "left-leaning college state" and even a "civil rights lovefest". Needless to say, it has excellent civil rights and very good political freedoms. The economy has never been the most attractive part of Thingamajiggers, but it has never been abysmal, and is currently ranked as good. Due to recent conditions that led to the fall of most governments in the region, Thingamajiggers is the region's only superpower. The country is ruled by a representative government. However, thanks to advances in technology, slowly referendum votes where every voter has the opportunity to vote on issues have begun to command the majority of decisions. The name of the legislature is the Dominion Assembly and the executive, who rules in popularly elected 5 year terms, is referred to as the Karnbeln.
Founding
Thingamajiggers has its roots in one of the original countries founded in Thorin, the Rogue Nation of Thingamajigs. Thingamajigs started out as a democratic country in the year 5 after the founding of the region. It slowly developed into a powerful country, prominent among the other countries of the region.
However, around the year 190 AF, the leader of Thorin, Prime Minister Aratol Kickster began to snatch up powers and take away freedoms. Slowly, the government became more and more of a totalitarian state, until, finally, all masks of democracy were removed in 203 AF. In this year, Aratol Kickster, now given the title of Jingh, an ancient Thingan word for "ruler", had all people marked with barcodes so that the government could keep track of their movements. Tensions were high, but the people did not revolt yet. The military might of Kickster's private police force was too great for the people to organize any sort of rebellion. The occassional spontaneous riot broke out, but, for lack of organization, they all just ended up being terrible butcherings. The largest of these riots have become national days of rememberence in modern Thingamajiggers, collectively known as "The Days of the Martyrs of Freedom".
The revolution would not come within Kickster's lifetime.
