Geography

Climate
The country has a has a Tropical rainforest climate (Cfa according to the Köppen climate classification). Average temperatures range from 80°F in January to 59°F in August.
History
Early History
Historical evidence shows that humans have lived in the area now known as Narsora for as long 15,000 years ago. As the geographical location of the island is relativlity remote, only four seprate Native American tribes are known to exist; the Ipópopó, Tomucúlan, Bolñukon & Tirbirio.
Spanish Colonization
Due to the islands relative remoteness, treacherous waters and hostile natives, the first spanish explorers didn't reach the island until 1702. When a spanish armada managed to land on the island, the resulting death toll has been estimated between 5,000-10,000 from disease and warfare combined. During spanish rule especially through the early 20th century, the territory became one of the wealthiest in the Spanish Empire. During the Spanish Civil War, narsoran based military garrisons supported the coup. Spanish rule lasted around 255 years, and the island was one of the last territories to be granted independence; in 1957.
Modern History
Narsora was granted independence by Spain in 1957 following international pressure, but was not recognized as a soverign state until June 23, 1960 as the constitution was being written. In 1969 Torisakia laid claim to the González Archipelago, a set of islands off the western coast of Narsora. Claiming that the islands had been given to them by former colonial ruler the United Kingdom, for use as an overseas military post in 1962, narsoran leadership ignored the country's demands as did a majority of the international community. In July, 1973 Torisakian military forces annexed the island chain from Narsora, causing a now 49 year dispute that has (as of April 2018) left 322 dead and 700 wounded, mostly civilians.
21-O Revolution
In 1984 following the increasingly authoritarian policies of then president David Anderson and a deteriorating economy, protesters began calling for his resignation. Following a year of continued protests, on October 23rd 1985, the Narsoran Congress approved the impeachment process for Anderson. The same day, as news spread 10,000 protesters gathered at the Palacio de Gobierno to demand he leave immediately, and the Presidential Guard (Narsora) surrounded the outside of the building to disperse the protesters. No exact account of the events that followed can be found, but Guardsmen opened fire on the crowd and killed 20 people and injured 65. As President Anderson defied Congress's ruling and refused to resign and due to what became known as the San Marcos Massacre, control of the country was handed over to the National Congress as per the constitution and the National Army was authorized to forcefully remove Anderson from office. On October 24th, 10,000 troops entered the capital and confronted Presidential Guardsmen in front of the palace demanding initiating a standoff which lasted for two hours and nearly brought the country to civil war, eventually the guardsmen stood down and two dozen troops entered the palace and detained Anderson. In 1995, October 21st was declared a national holiday as Día de la Revolución (English: Revolution Day).
Recent History
Beginning in 2008 along with other countries, the country slipped into recession with the unemployment rate reaching 11% in mid-2009. On February 13th, 2009 a massive car bomb exploded in the Centro Internacional de Negocios (International Business District) of the capital Narsora City, killing 32 and injuring 228. A Ipópopó-based separatist group, the IMAB claimed responsibility and declared they would continue their insurgency until the government granted independence to the province of Alta Bahía. When the government authorized the military to hunt down and dismantle the group the five year long Insurgency in Narsora began, which over it's course cost the lives of 1,800 people and long term damage to the province of Alta Bahía.
Government and politics

It is classified as a unitary-presidental republic, headed by headed by a president whom is elected via direct election with a "two-round" or "run-off" plurality system used if no candidate receives over 50% of votes.
