Overview
The Commonwealth of Fallooplesburg is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of about 15.4 million Fallooplesburgians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belem. The average income tax rate is 18.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Fallooplesburgian economy, worth roughly 803 Billion scraps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,234 scraps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Fallooplesburg's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fallooplesburg's national animal is the Elephant.
History
603-1597: The Tribal Era
Around 603 AD was the date on the oldest Fallooplesburgian record from the old Tribal Council. The Ethnic Fallooplesburgians had a somewhat simple life, they made friends with the Sarmanthian Peoples, fished in the Marmor Sea and Anchor Lake, and prayed to the Wawa. They told scary ghost stories to keep their children in line, rode elephants to carry large amounts of goods to other communities. And had an overall thriving community.
They had a mostly peaceful existence for many centuries, they didn't ever want to modernize and denied Syrgastan's request with help modernizing. This turned out to be exactly what Syrgastan had hoped for and it left the old tribal peoples defenseless against the might of the modern Syrgastani Empire. They annexed New Sarmanthia and Fallooplesburg and incorporated them into a large empire.
1598-1799: The Imperial Era
In 1598 AD Sarplesgani Empire formed out of modern day New Sarmanthia, Fallooplesburg, and Syrgastan. The ethnic Fallooplesburgians were enslaved and overall treated poorly. The mostly peaceful natural life the natives had was over and they would never get it back. Religious leaders were taken away and made into public examples of believing and spreading heresy.
Their largest town was replaced with Belem in 1632, which later would become the capital of the country.
In 1732 a poor Fallooplesburg man by the name of Stanley Steiger begins making informal speeches to other citizens about rising up and taking independence. Many people begin following his ideals considering the unfair treatment of ethnic Fallooplesburgians. This is the start of the Independent Party, who strive for independence for Fallooplesburg. Many of the party's leaders were targeted and anytime something bad happened they blamed it on them, all someone had to do to get away with their crime was vandalise something saying "Freedom For Fallooplesburg!" or something similar.
The poor majority of the region wanted reform, but the nobility continued to spend needless amounts of money on delicacies and luxurious items. And everytime they needed more money they just taxed the poor, they won't mind a percent or two right? This was the last straw, the tax rate was up to 23.2% and many people died either from lack of food and water, or their house got taken away and the were left to wander the savanna. Some people marched in Belem demanding lower tax rates. Many of the protestors were arrested or killed.
1800-1845: The Revolutionary Era
In 1800 is when all the unrest came to a head. A few Fallooplesburgians rose up and decided to fight against the Sarplesgani Empire. Local sympathetic militias began helping out in the fight. The Sarmanthians get inspired by Fallooplesburg and rise up to help in the fight in 1802. They are ultimately defeated in 1806 and the treatment of civilians gets even worse, as they are seen as week individuals who even with some Sarplesgani soldiers couldn't win. Diplomats go to Flatstone and exchange some land for military assistance against the Sarplesgani Empire in 1819.
In 1824 the Sarplesgani Civil War begins, the Sarmanthians and Fallooplesburgians have been preparing for 5 years, building support and strength, they even had the assistance of the Flatstone Military. The Sarplesgani Empire believed that Fallooplesburg couldn't come back from the 1800 uprising. Fallooplesburg declared independence and established the houses a year later in 1825 but as generals, Stanley Steiger, now Stanley Von Steiger, was elected the first king of Fallooplesburg and led them through a tough war all the way until 1846, when Syrgastan finally surrendered, Flatstone got a little bit of coastal land to open trade to the newly formed nations of Fallooplesburg, New Sarmanthia, and Syrgastan.
Fallooplesburg was finally independent again after nearly 250 years.
1846-1924: The Construction Era
In 1847 King Stanley von Steiger began a road-building project to make travel easier across country and new large cities were being built. Belem was made the capital and the first monarchal election happened. House Aegir won with their candidate Raymond von Aegir I who led the country to some very decisive victories during the war. After King Stanley died and King Raymond took power, he began bolstering the agricultural sector, the manufacturing sector was floundering with Fallooplesburgs low access to metals. SO they went all in on agriculture and began selling tropical plants like Coffee Beans, Bananas, and Pineapples to nearby nearby non tropical nations like Flatstone. They also sold extra firearms after the war to Flatstone and made a good bit of money off of it.
The First Cheese and Wine festival is held in 1870 to encourage farmers to do better.
1925-Present: The Prosperous Era
In 1925 after the economy was secure Fallooplesburg began investing in Nuclear Research, and improving relations with neighboring countries.
In 1950 Fallooplesburg made their first working Nuclear Power Plant after using the Uranium in the desert. They sold the blueprints to other countries and began the process of putting the whole country on nuclear power. This allowed them to end coal imports for their coal power plants.
The Marmor Trade Pact was officially created in 2020 along with Fallooplesburg making attempts to join SADA to help protect, and improve relations with Southern Anteria. Fallooplesburg also celebrates 175 years of peace.
Economy
Fallooplesburg has a very agriculture heavy economy, with rougly 20% of territory being used as farmland. The mining industry is also fairly adaquate down in the desert portion of the country, and overall supplies enough materials for nuclear energy around the country.
Fallooplesburg grows many tropical crops in it's tropical areas. The some of the plants are: Coffee Beans, Bananas, and Pineapples. There are also many vineyards and farms around the country making Cheese and Wine large exports.
After the revolution, Fallooplesburg had more guns than it knew what to do with, and made alot of money selling them to other countries going through wars of their own. They produce very little weaponry and even have instituted gun control laws hoping to keep it's citizens safe
The mining industry down south gains a good bit of Uranium, Copper, and some Rubber up in the rainforests.
