History

Imperial Era (1790 - 1920)

Revolutionary Era (1920 - 1945)

Following the rise of communism in the early 20th century, the Zurginian Bolshevik League (now the ZSP), staged a revolution, beginning in march 1920, on Mimbles island. By July of 1920, the revolution had overthrown the Royalist Army, and removed the Emperor from office. Following widespread public support of the revolutionaries, a new government was established, with Hugo von Bwuttstein Jr as it's Administrator.

Cold War (1945 - 1991)

Following the end of the second world war, with the growing tension between the USSR and USA, Zurginia aligned itself with the Soviet Union, on grounds of shared ideology. This created tension between Zurginia and some members the ROUS.

Scientific Era (1991-present)

Following the break up of the Soviet Union between 1985 and 1991, tensions eased between Zurginia and the Realm Of Unrestricted Science, which Zurginia became a full member of in 1992, ushering in a new era of scientific discovery, and collaboration. This collaboration eventually resulted in Zurginia's first moon landing in 1998, and the subsequent moon landings throughout the late twentieth and twenty first centuries, resulting in the New Londor Moon Base. In 2006, Zurginia completed the Zurginia National Space Station, which is home to 6-12 astronauts and scientists at a time.

Geography

Zurginia is a mountainous, heavily forested nation, with the vast majority of the land almost completely uninhabited. 61% of the population live on Mimbles Island, which only accounts for around 10% of Zurginia's land area. The North and South Isles are far more sparsely populated, and are home to 29% and 10% of the population respectively. Most of the north and south islands are primarily covered by deciduous forest, and coniferous forest along the northern coasts of both islands.

Politics

Zurginia's central government is made of 144 Members of Parliament, including 8 Regional Chairpeople, 10 Ministers, and The Administrator. The government meets in Mimbles.

The Isles of Zurginia are divided up into eight districts, each of which is governed by a District Council, who are responsible for the area's regulation and law enforcement, however, these councils have no power to change laws, and the Central Administration (Based in Mimbles, Administrative District) can overrule any decision made by local authorities.
