History (Fictional)

Jingdaoese Period

Before the Florian Republic was founded. The people of Jingdao inhabited the area and much violence and natural disasters occurred in the area and the Jingdaoese suddenly fled of what is now the modern Florian Republic. The land of the now Florian Republic became barren and people left in the area were stranded from outside world for many years. A short war occurred soon afterwards as order between the factions in the land was disrupted.Many people fled and immigrated into neighbouring Jingdao. Violence was reduced but tensions were still hostile with each faction. The area had no sign of hope.

Creation of the Florian Republic

On the 16th July 2017, A leader of the Labour Faction, Edwin Farrar proposed a plan to create a new state called the Florian Republic. The name originating from the vast rare range of flora in the area. All factions attended the meeting to establish the nation and all factions agreed for the new nation to be created as long as each faction had a fair representation in Parliament. The nation then submitted a bid for international recognition and it was accepted.

Government and Politics

After the establishment of the nation, each faction before the establishment became a political party. The two largest being the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. Members of each party are elected into Parliament, which currently has only one house. There is a total of 500 MP's which are split into 125 for each region.

Military

After the civil war, the military suffered because of the rapid decrease of the population. Instead of the former 214 million people who used to live in the area, there is only a meagre 12 million people left in the country. Therefore the country only has a military currently comprising of only 10,000 soldiers. The country has a very large supply of Nuclear Weapons totalling a number of 5,000 nuclear warheads.

The country is aiming to create projects which will reduce this large percentage, such as creating a national motorway and the building of new towns and cities. It is yet to enter the USSO's common economic market as it still is not a full member of the organisation. The Florian Republic has large reserves of lead, zinc, silver, nickel, cobalt, copper, iron and bauxite, but mining these materials have not started.

Infrastructure
