History of Tzorsland
The Nation of Tzorsland was founded by Franciscan Friars from a number of smaller nations which included the Kingdom of Tzor. They then moved the capital from Eyesore to the current location of Capital city to the west of the nation. Soon afterwards they delegated their authority to a monastic by the name of the Meddling Monk who brought in his own cabinet to Capital City.
The Meddling Monk
United Nations
Under the guidance of the Meddling Monk, Tzorsland joined the United Nations. Later it assumed the position of regional delegate, but a technical error by UN gnomes caused the position to be vacant and the regional delegate position went to Davane who still enjoys this role today. The Meddling Monk still holds the role of President, although he spends most of his time as UN Representative at the United Nations. This leaves the Master, who serves as Prime Minister in charge of most of the day to day activities of running the nation. The Meddling Monk was appointed as UN regional advisor since he seems to be in the UN most of the time. He maintained that postion until Tzorsland resigned from the UN to allow Retired WerePenguins to apply for membership. At the present time the Continent of Niftyonia has only one nation in the UN and thus has no regional delegate.
Formation of Nations
The Free Land of Retired WerePenguins was formed from retiring WerePenguin officers of Tzorsland’s Navy who moved to the Antarctic Oasis. Recently the council of Franciscans, greatly upset by laws passed as a result of United Nations membership managed to get an autonomous nation called The Free Land of Frustrated Franciscans.
Military Coup
Recently Tzorsland’s military cracked down on the government. As a result power was redistributed among the Prime Minister, President, and King. All existing treaties are still in effect and it remains to be seen if anyone will actually notice anything as a result of it.
Major cities
St. Philomena in Eyesore
Mikado's house in Garden City
There are three major cities in Tzorsland and a number of minor ones. Eyesore is the home to the King and Queen and every October the royal couple returns to the ancient palace to greet various dignitaries and to host various ceremonies. It is also the location of the first Franciscan church; St. Philomena. Garden City is the technological center of the nation and home to the ministry of science, under the direction of The Rani. Capital City is the current seat of the government.
The King and Queen of Tzor
The palace at Eyesore
Harold XVI, King of Tzorsland
The first King of Tzor, oddly enough named Harold II, came to Tzor from a far off land where it was said his father King Harold was killed by an arrow in the eye from invaders from the south who took his throne. Since then, with only a few exceptions, it has been the custom for the royal family to name every first born son Harold. (In one case the second born son was chosen because he had the correct name. In another case William changed his name so as to not to cause controversy. In both cases Harold was not chosen because it was thought the boy would die in infancy.) The last true King of Tzor, Harold XII, fell to Franciscan Forces in A Very Hasty Battle a very long time ago. The current King of Tzor is Harold XVI. The current Queen of Tzor is Mildred.
Due to a limited budget, the palace at Eyesore is only occupied in the month of October, when the King and Queen greet dignitaries and pretend as though they actually run the nation. The rest of the year, the palace is a tourist attraction and houses a number of exhibits including the famous “Bye Bye Blues” tapestry depicting the fall of Harold XII.
