1981 - Revolt in the Empire of Pinconning. The lower classes of the country are upset with the dictator's policies. The government allows the people very few political freedoms, and enforces compulsory military service. Pinconning is perceived around the world as a warmongering dictatorship whose powerful air force allows them to impose their will upon smaller countries. Riots spread throughout the capital and surrounding cities, quickly broken up by the extremely powerful police force. Over 4 million people are jailed. In protest, the left-wing rebels sneak onto ships in the night, sailing off to a new land, free of tyranny and war........ November 8, 2001 - The Allied States of Aquiliana are finally recognized as a sovereign nation under the peaceful liberal leadership of Ductor Pardeus Terrecanus. ---FACTS--- Statistics: Capital: Nidola Population (February 2003): 40 million Government Category: Scandinavian Liberal Paradise Government Priority: Education Gross Domestic Product: $127,247,536,643.03 Economic Rating: Developing Civil Rights Rating: Superb Political Freedoms: Good Income Tax Rate: 36% Major Industry: Automobile Manufacturing National Currency: Auceps National Animal: Falcon Government: 1 democratically elected leader: Ductor Pardeus Terrecanus 4 Vicarai from each state (24 total) Languages: Aquil (a modified dialect of Middle Pincon, it has mostly died out, although it is still used to form proper names) English (94%) Italian (5%) States/Population: Ulneus (SW): 6 million Fraxinus (NW): 10 million Quercus (Central): 12 million Pineus (SE): 7 million Salicus (NE): 4 million Cedrus (Island): <1 million Major Cities/Population: Farca (Quercus): 1.3 million Nidola (Quercus): 953,000 Sciuntus (Fraxinus): 848,000 Flavia (Pineus): 692,000 Incurtio (Salicus): 683,000 Nova Malta (Cedrus): 582,000 Ducentis (Unleus): 547,000 Viculus (Quercus): 361,000 Sententriam (Quercus): 299,000 Altissima (Pineus): 253,000 |
