Zanski

Capital: Xanka

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 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.

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 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 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. The war is still going on. After this, larger planes flew in with tanks to patrol the city. The war is still going on.

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 in the center, 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.

Ghollomo is a small but densely populated and wealthy city built on an old Gharrakan settlement next to the sea. the famous Shokly Market, measuring four miles squared, the biggest in Zanski, attracts a huge three million tourists every day. it is also the home to the Zanx Defensive and Offensive Navy.

Shuza is actually the biggest and most densely populated city in Zanski, with around twelve 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.
