History

Settlement (1500s)

The People's Republic of Red Iberic Workers is a young country in the tropical and hot territory called New Iberia by their discoverers. People could think that they were official emissaries of their Majesty, but no: they were a bunch of dirty Latin renegades and pirates who built a port and a very small village in the most serene and veiled bay of the discovered territory for attacking ships to loot and taking back. This was the beginning of the nation.

Gradually, the territory (it wasn't a nation in the nowadays sense) was being known by other renegades, smugglers, etc. and the port and village was growing… And the first women to make families? They came from looting, or they were prostitutes, but there were pirates too.

With the first families induced some officially and sense of nation. The families induced the population to settle in the coast of New Iberia. And the most rich and powerful of the pirates, Nacho the Black Bearded, imposed on the rest (more or less peacefully). Nacho became the first ruler of the white sand coast, he claimed the coastal territories… He was a bizarre ruler, married to an initially kidnapped woman from the Royalty. He named the capital city, Puerto Naxos. Nacho also founded the nation: Nueva Iberia (New Iberia), on 11 October 1577, with in a big ceremony.

Beginning of the Pre-romantic period (early 1600s)

Slowly and with the foundation, it was growing the rungs and the territories of the Nation… The old captain pirates were forgetting their old looting traditions and became the ruler rung. The migrants or the bottom rung of old pirate's crew ships became peasants, miners, fishers, and settlers of the new society. The settlers colonised the hinterland and his jungles, and they founded in 1621 the second important city, Cuenca.

The political organization was republican, and who has to rule the nation wasn't to be marked by the inheritance. The ruler had to be chosen, and there was a House of The Ancients (Casa de los Antiguos) that did it, but the ruler would govern the nation till his death. The House was composed by the most powerful and old family members of the nation, so the Ancients were based in inheritance instead.

And why was named 'romantic'? This name was created by the Historians because the population of New Iberia had its roots in the misfit, revolutionary, passionate and Bohemian (in some way) attribute of the pirates and these attributes were glorified by Romanticism in the XIX Century.

In 1627 ruler Agustin adopted the Catholic Christian as national religion. And in 1628 arrived the first Bishop and the clergy. The Bishop, Petrus I, and some representatives entering the same year in The House of Ancients.

Classic-Romantic period (late 1600s)

Historians fixed the start of this period with the government of Naxos Gongora, named the ‘Artist Ruler’, in 1652 with him started the most important age of the nation called too ‘The Golden Age of Art’. Gongora was interested in all arts: Literature, Pictures, Architecture, etc. and he became a big patron of important foreigner artists (writers, painters, sculptors, poets) that fixed their residence in New Iberia. In addition, trade and commerce grew up selling goods like gold, rum, and exotic fruits.

It was born the architectural style called ‘iberic’ (or ‘classic romantic’ called by the Historians), similar to baroque, and it was built very important icons like the Naxos' Castle and their Palace at the top of the mountain (The ‘Calella’ Mountain) that domains the bay, the Cathedral, The Round Market and the House of Ancients was rebuilt in the new style.

On 1660 was founded the first University, Arts.

Trade and peace provoked the awakening of a commerce class, the bourgeois.

$date: Peasantry Republic of San Jorge. These nations act as “lore anchors” to establish the routes Mantellan and Iberos colonists without putting that burden onto new Marenesian members. San Giorgio is an ex-Mantellan colony on the western side of the island of Saint George, and San Jorge an ex-Iberos colony on the eastern side of the same island.

Decline Romantic Period, Empire period, nationalist-fascist period (1700s–1800s)

On 1787 Luis Gongora, named ‘The Last’, died and with him the “artist's dynasty” was ended. The Clergy, in the past, was introducing more and more representatives in the House of Ancient, they weren't majority, but they have a very good position to pact with another civil representatives that shared his ideas. The Clergy always had a difficult relationship with the Gongora Dynasty (Building the beautiful Cathedral of Puerto-Naxos wasn't enough, and The Clergy accused the rulers to have become licentious.) With the death of Luis, the Clergy understood that they had a good opportunity to rule the nation, and it did…

The bishop treated with an heir of an ancient family of the House known by his closed-mind, religious and superstitious ideas, Franso, named ‘The Admiral’. With all the treaty votes, he became the Ruler on 1788. Church did for him the “propaganda” and Franso gave to the Catholic Church the ‘funds’. Catholic Religion was imposed, (for example, it was compulsory to go to religious celebrations or ceremonies), the indigenous people of the hinterland were forced to work in the farms, etc. The economical organization of the new Dynasty treated to favour the old rich families, giving them trade contracts or goods monopolies. The Representatives were forgetting their political obligations and finally by the I Iberic Constitution (1827, Franco III) the House of Ancients was closed. In 1830 Franco III proclaimed himself as Emperor.

The people that supported the Dynasty were called himself: nationalists or fascists. In 1839, they founded the first political association, The ‘Falange’, born to support the Dynasty and his ideas.

The Industrial Revolution arrived too much late at New Iberia (in the years 40, in the XIX C.) and based on ‘green’ monopolies (big plantings — tobacco factories.) The bourgeois starting to control some production’s areas (textile.) The social equality was non-existent, and it favoured the entering of the first socialist ideas to the lower classes or rungs.

In 1855 an enormous strike of workers and indigenous was cracked down violently. The regime knew that with time it couldn't control the strikes, the regime was in danger.

Liberal Period, Neo-Romantic Period (late 1800s)

Franso IV ‘The Sharp’ knew that the nation was near the Civil War and with it the end of the Corrupt Regime, so he made a secret treaty with the bourgeois rung, The Liberals. He would give them the power in exchange for respecting the guidelines of Catholic Church and the Dynasty. The Liberals accepted the proposal and the old families and the Church moved to the darkness, apparently far from power but controlling the important decisions.

On 1868 Franso IV abdicated “guaranteeing the peace of our glorious and sacred nation”, in the same year The Liberals arrived to the power and on 1869 it was proclaimed The II Iberic Constitution. Liberals adopted a democratic appearance, and they gave some rights for workers and indigenous people. On 1870 was founded the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. The Economy started to grow.

On 1898 the city of Valence was founded (the nowadays second city in importance), in the north, in the region called Levante, it was planned in the architectural modernist style. The Culture was awakening.

Although this was a peaceful and growing period, The Dynasty supervised the Liberal's labour all the time, the democratic organization was only a ‘make up’ (the trade unions, for example, were forbidden).

Revolution (early 1900s)

Revolutionaries march through the streets of Constantinopla, 1916.

Many workers knew the real state of the nation (they called the old families ‘the vampires’), but they hadn't enough capacity or Charisma to organise themselves.

Then, when the hopes of the real socialist were dying, arrived The Revolutionary Guide and Comrade. A foreigner, a woman, an artist, a post-modern painter, named Maria Gallach. Her incredible Charisma was enough to organise the workers in their clandestine meetings, and she maintains an important relationship (some historian tells that was a platonic relation) with a renegade old family member, the young artist, Carlos Gongora, a rich heir but with sacred socialist convictions that supported with his money the Revolution. The workers started to organise in armed groups.

On October 1931 the worker's armed groups took the streets and marching to the Castle. With this strike started the I Civil War (1931-1934.) In 1934 the workers pushed out the last nationalist resistance in the north, in the city of Valence.

The majority of the Dynasty and Liberal elements were in exile, but some elements were hidden in New Iberia.

Iberic Republics Socialists Soviets Union and Red Terror (mid-1900s)

The Nation became a Federation of territories (Puerto-Naxos, Levante, Castilla y Tierra Comunera, Red Catalonia.) In the beginning, communism was peaceful, with some libertarian and Trotskyist elements in power. Carlos Gongora was the General Secretary of the Communist Party and Maria Gallach his personal assistant. In 1936 was proclaimed The III Soviet Constitution.

But in 1944 Maria Gallach died by a long illness. This fact, tell the historians, provoked the madness of the General Secretary, Carlos Gongora. He isolated himself in the Castle and Palace. He ordered the construction of the colossal golden statue of Maria Gallach (58 meters) in the workers' town. The Communist Party forbid any religion manifestation (many churches were burnt), the private property was all forbidden, ordered the executions of many contra-revolutionary or suspected elements, ordered the surveillance of artists by the People’s Red Police, the re-education camps? So with the death of the Guide began the Red Terror Period.

‘Perestroika’ and Neo-Liberal Period (late 1900s)

With the dead of Secretary General on 1977 the red regime was opening himself, slowly. This fact provoked that the hidden and survivor elements of the Dynasty and Church started to show and control, gradually, some power spheres.

On 1992 Suarez, a hidden liberal, became the General Secretary of the URSSI and with him the Perestroika. The Private property was admitted and the Constitution changed. Many nationalists arrived from exile. On 1994 The Union was dissolved and New Iberia reborn. The Globalization landed. Patty Das, the Iron Fist, The Iron Woman, became President in 1999.

Many labor rights were lost, the labor flexibility strangled and poorer the worker's class. Das wasn't fast in their decisions, and Workers reorganised.

Neo-socialist Revolution (early 2000s)

On September 2001 started the II Civil War (2001-2002). Other time neo-liberals and dynastic elements were expelled to exile. However, now the workers didn't want to fall in the same mistakes as the URSSI, and they reinvented the socialism in an Iberic way, Rose Amoros was the revolutionary guide that started the reformations.

The IV Socialist People's Republic Constitution was proclaimed in 2003. All the political parties were forbidden (including the communist party.) The democracy was direct, the people, the workers, had to vote their own laws and the factories were self-organised. The environmental politics was very important. Drugs were legalised. It was founded as the Liberation Theological Church.

The 10th February 2004 was elected the first General Secretary of Nation, Rose Amoros.

The Vitalism as we know, it is not a religion, instead and strictly speaking it is a way of life compatible and related to socialism. As a way of life its development is anarchic with a lot of interpretations, but its base is clear: ‘The Multicoloured Book’ written by the Revolution Guide, Maria Gallach, in 1936.
