History

Terezanskidom and the uprising

Zanski was once part of Terezanskidom, a small but brutal country, floating in the sky on a mothership that was ruled by crispin terezanski. Back then Zanski was called Terezanskiland and was surrounded by tall walls, trapping the Zanx under control of soldiers, who, by tradition would pick off one civillian every day. One day, when the legs of lamb were thrown to the people, the zanx started hacking at the walls with the bone. The soldiers started picking off individuals, but this didn't stop them. There are reports of people clawing at the walls with bleeding hands. Eventually the walls gave in, letting the Zanx pour through the hole. They then got through to the government building and killed everyone in there. according to the late president Merech Zanski, who was one of the ones in the building, Crispin Terezanski jumped out the window in fear of the rebels. The soldiers, in an effort to kill themselves, blew up the control part. No one knows what happened then, but nearly every single rebel survived the crash.
		President Merech Zanski (ruler 1928-1937)

Establishment

The ship crashed in the land of Gharraka, a land full of lush rainforests and mountains. The Zanx people then chose a leader out of the three rebels who overthrew the Terezanskidomian government and were in the building. They chose Merech Zanski, nephew of Crispin Terezanski. They travelled for many miles until they got to Xanka, a large city where the Gharrakan government was based. They won an unlikely win against the Gharrakan soldiers (5 Zanxmen to 20 Gharrakans) and put the government building on top of Xankasharamount, a large mountain into siege. Eventually the dictator died and the Zanx took over Gharraka.

ZATA, GATA and the North Xanka Siege.

Just two weeks after the Establishment, a group of rebels called GATA (Gharrakan Armed Terrorist Army) was formed. A formal letter was sent to the President of Zanski, warning to let Gharrakans be relocated to better houses, as they were squashed into small rooms in North Xanka, the poorest part. He refused and a bomb was let off in north Xanka, killing two. Another letter was written, stating that GATA had driven the whole of the Zanx community in North Xanka out and they were all trained to kill. Three more were let off in the same area. Merech Zanski asked for twenty soldiers to patrol Northern Xanka and to report at the end of the day. only fifteen returned, stating that they had seen the other five shot with handguns. Another three bombs were let off, this time in cars on the busiest high street in Zanski, killing about fifty. This time Merech was disgusted and ordered three hundred soldiers to put Northern Xanka under siege. GATA had snipers in tall flats and mortar bazookas. Twenty soldiers died every day. Eventually, after three months, GATA gave up and came out. When the general asked Merech Zanski what to do, he asked for them to be given one more chance. Merech told him to let them and the Gharrakans live where they want as long as they swore never to use Terrorism in a country we are not at at war with and they agreed. Feeling one with the country, they changed their name to ZATA

Yrttal, Bearmish and the Chitze invasion

Once the population had grown and a decent army was gathered, the Zanx Offensive Army joined a coalition and invaded the city of Yrttal in Chitzeland because of a breach of civil rights and racism which used the disguise of an anti-terror phamphlet. The invasion started at about 6:30 AM when planes dropped Paratroopers on the motorway to set up roadblocks in order to put the city into seige. Then, the remainder of the Paratroops moved in to successfully take over the council buildings and take control of the city. Once the city was under control, Karrulia offered the coalition some help in rebuilding the cities under control. Then a prison was built especially for Chitze rebels. After this, larger planes flew in with tanks to patrol the city. Then a nation named Pudu invaded the Chitze city of Locke. Zanski sent in bomber Planes and tanks, all part of Operation Condor, Which, overall did not affect the huge Pudite army. There are rumors of ZATA being involved in the operation. President Merech Zanski died in the middle of the war at 78 and marches in Yrttal were arranged. Then his Son, Merech Zanski II was elected but promptly assassinated by the next presidemt Jarak Arma, head of ZATA after announcing a breach of Xai Xatai Sul. Soon After, arms were put down against Pudu.Jarak Arma Then ordered a successful invasion of Bearmish for more space with minimal civillian casualties, Which was soon thwarted by The Shahdom Of The Parthians. After warnings not to go East to Yrttal, The Parthians ignored the warning and sent their army towards Yrttal.The war is still going on.

The Establishment of New Gharrakland

In 1941, By popular vote, New Gharrakland was accepted as a nation. It's capital is Tumada, with a population of (Jan 23 1941) 400,000 (Out of 5,000,000). It speaks New Gharrakan and is Gharrakman in major religion.

Cities

There are three main cities in Zanski:

Xanka is a large capital city under Xankasharamount, a rainforest-covered mountain which is where the government building stands. When Zanski was established, the Gharakkans were living there and were driven into the northwest. There was great misery and hatred towards the Zanx people and a group of rebels called GATA (Now ZATA) were formed. They now have peace with the Zanx government and Gharrakans are allowed into any part of the city or country. There are large, old, graceful Gharrakan buildings and monuments hidden in the mountains, the most famous being the "Tower Of Misery", built in the time when Zanski invaded the former Gharrakan city.

In Gharrakan, Xanka means Guardian, referring to the gods they thought lived on Xankasharamount.

Xanka, and Xankasharamount

Ghollomo is a wealthy city built on an old Gharrakan settlement next to the sea. The famous Shokly Market, measuring four square miles, the biggest in Zanski, attracts a huge three million tourists every day. Outside of this Market is the Shokly alleys, which are famous for their expensive resturants and fruit stalls. The Ashad Xai Turakke, the biggest and oldest Gharrakmanist/Sulax place of worship, are also located in the city centre. Ghollomo is also the home to the Zanx Defensive and Offensive Navy.
		One of The Shokly Alleys

Shuza is actually the biggest and most densely populated city in Zanski, with around seventeen million legal civillians. Unfortunately it is very poor and is estimated to have a population of one million immigrants living illegally in the city, but these are frequently being relocated to special immigrant hostels and well-paid work at the Uranium mines is being reserved for the immigrators.

Here is a list of all 28 cities.

Zanx Uranium Trade (ZUT)

{{{logo}}}

Headquarters:	Shuza
Nationality:	Zanski
Specialty:	Uranium
Storefront:	[1]

This is a large part of Zanski's defence regime, but a large part of the buisness is corrupt and Top Secret, for instance, who owns ZUT is a sensetive topic but, due to conspiricy and urban myth, is thought to be owned by the Zanx Armed Terrorist Army. Uranium mining is a well-paid job and is reserved for immigrants.

religion and ethnics

Religion not an important topic to the atheist government but discrimination is a crime that is closely looked out for and is punishable by a 1000 Zansk dollars fine and three year jail sentance, but the fine is left out if the victim is a convert.

Ethnics is also unimportant and the Zanx president can be any nationality as long as they live in Zanski. The Religious discrimination law also applies, but the sentance is doubled to a 2000 Zansx fine and six year jail sentance.

Here are the Ethnic statistics:

Gharrakan:34%

Zanx:42%

other:34%

And religious:

Gharrakman:21%

Jewish:15%

Christian:9%

Muslim:7%

Other:4%

Atheist/Ignostic:44%

Sulax:4%

Gharrakmanism

The religion of Gharrakmanism is one that is not uncommon in Zanski. It is a new one that is founded on Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and the older Zanx religion of what we call Sulaxism.

The holiest city in Gharrakmanism is Ghollomo. The Ashad Xai Turakke (Turakke being the place of worship for a Gharrakmanist and Sulax) Is the first Turakke built, way back in 400 BCE and the where the first Turakka (Gharrakman and Sulax holy book)lies. They have no god as such, but an idol, like Buddha, called Oki Sua.

Sulaxism

Sulaxism is a similar religion to Gharrakmanism, but it has a god, called Saiman. It mostly died out with the arrival of the Yuyu, a generation of imperial dictators who reigned when Zanski was called Gharrakland who used genocide as a tactic to kill the peaceful Sulax. The yuyu ruled for 108 Years (23 - 131 AD), turning a majority religion into a minority. A group of rebels called the Sulax Sankas (Meaning Sulax Guardians in Aincent Gharrakan) assassinated the last of the Yuyu, causing controversy.

The Sulax also believe in Turrake and Turraka being holy objects and pray 9 times a day.

Military

There are two sectors of the Zanx Military:

Sectors:

===ZOA=== Zanx Offensive army:

navy, air force, Paratroops, Tanks, Espionage, Assassination Team.

===ZDA=== Zanx Defensive Army

Navy, Ground Troops, Tanks, Air Force, Nuclear Force, Espionage Team, Assassination Team.

ZDA is bigger than ZOA, as the Zanx army saying goes, "Defence not Offence!" The late ex-president Merech Zanski once said:"National security is what makes a good country." The Nuclear Force gets its Uranium from ZUT.

and there`s also:

===ZRA=== the Zanx Resistance Army

This is a top secret subject, But the government assure that, should a foreign nation invade, this force will jump into action.

Geography

Zanski is a country of many Geographical properties.eg:

Xanka is a Mountinous volcanic area with rich, fertile soil.This accounts for the rainforest on Xankasharamount, an extinct volcano. This is also how the settlement started with Gharrakkan farmers in the Iron Age, farming rice, corn and maize on the nutritious soil.

Shuza is next to some hills which are rich in uranium. Thus, no building on the hills is allowed.No people are allowed here unless accompanied by at least 30 soldiers. The Raxa river runs through the city from the mountains in the east with hard, warm water.

The Raxa river is a large one that was, by popular theory, made by hot spring water from the east, cutting through the rock. It runs through to Ghollomo, Shuza, Xanka and into the sea.

There is some marshland in Old Zanski county, next to the Raxa river. The Gharrakans call this land the "Deadly Marshes" or Khuamath (koo-a-mat) because in the Zanx Invasion, many Gharrakan soldiers marched into Khuamath and were sucked down into the soil. There is a large tree that has been wrapped completely in constrictor vines that is meant to be the home of Khua, the Gharrakkan God of Death.

There is a stretch of desert, in the sense that it is inhospitable, with an oasis. This Oasis is home to the five Desert Cities. they are actually joined, but the Gharrak'man (The religion of the Gharrakans) political board say that due to tradition, they must remain politically apart.

Education

The Zanx government does its best to make sure that the nation is full of well-educated, smart citizens and does its best whenever an issue comes forth to think of the children sitting at their desks.

If a school is deeply unsatisfied with a child or a child is a truant, the school can send evidence and the child may do the appropriate amount of army service.

School food is also a big part of education. A working brain needs food, especially a growing one and the government makes sure school food is tasty and nutritious. If a large complaint is issued into school food, the government may send special detectives called Education Detectives in. If the E.D's complain, the school can be shut down or the company that makes the food.

Clause of justice

The clause of justice is a clause issued by the late President Merech Zanski stating that all nations that breach the following:

Class A Breaches:

Genocide
Incitement Of Widespread Racial/Religious Hatred
"Unnessisary" Invasion/war
Misuse Of Nuclear Weapons
Military Siding with a COJ-breaching Nation

...Will be closely watched And/Or be invaded

Class B Breaches

Glorification of a COJ-breaching Nation without Military action

Being A Dictatorship

...Will be closely watched

Xai Xatai Sul

Xai Xatai Sul (Translated from Zanx:The Eternal Laws) or The Xatai in English, is a group of rules that were founded by Merech Zanski.They cannot be changed or abolished.

Clause Of Justice (See above)

No human may deforest the Xankasharamount rainforest or build inside the rainforest limits.

The Tower Of Misery in Xanka may not be taken down as it is holy to the Gharrak'man religion.

There was also a group of assassins called Xatai Xankas (Xatai Guardians/Eternal Guardians) who only had around seventy members and were dedicated to assassinating anyone who broke the last two XXS rules, or who planned them. Their leader, Kapin Tuxu, was jailed for life after planning the successful assassination of George McDougal, a scottish immigrant who cut down seven trees with one-off permission of the government.

Grammar & Language

Zanx is a mix of Gharrakan and English. Gharrakan is completely original and has not changed gramatically for two thousand years.

Here are some tricky vocabulary solutions for Zanx and Gharrakan:

X=Sh,e.g Xanka sounds like Shanker.

Ch=Ch as in Loch Ness.

Shuza is actually the english sound for it, in Gharrakan it is Xuza, and it would be also in Zanx if it hadn't been written in the Scrolls of Zanski, the only surviving book of geography written at the time when the Zanx language was founded.

Zanx also has a lot of English words as well, for example:

(english words are in bold in the Zanx sentance)

Hello mister!Lovely day today. hope the weather stays like this.

is

Hello Gadamax!Xulata Kazaa Muxken. Huxa the ghadina keeps tuaxa.

And in Gharrakan:

Ki Twaii! Xulata Kazaa Muxkenan. Huxa taix ghadina tuaxa.

Presidents/Presidency

Laws:

The President must be living in Zanski.
The president's personal life does not affect his/her career, and if the press publish something breaking this law, they will be sued $10,000,000

National Animal

Zanski's national animal is the Zanx Parrot, which is a large bird which is known for its inability to fly. It usually has a black tail with a red crest and the rest of the body is green. in 1933 it was officially pronounced extinct but in the next year the population estimate was in its thousands. Two years later, the population was back into its millions and it was made the national animal after the "Zanx Parrot Miracle."

National Anthem

The national anthem is about the Terezanskilandish Civil war;

In Zanx:

Aik dulo taz xulo, las mura xul lab, Ta pulo o jara, da mina kila, la, la. Da Gharrakland jul ta huo da yul. Ka raan u yayi xa xer ej la dia.

And English (not literal):

In the time of sadness, in the time of madness, We overthrow the enemy, send our rock tumbling to the sea To the shores of Gharrakland, to the golden-white sand And begin our walk to glory.

It is commonly known as "The ballad of the slaves"
