Hello, All you Lancre fans,
I have been given the task, of my own free will. *Large thug cracs knuckles evily* to write a list of the main points of all the members of Lancre.
A brief History Of Lancre
Part I
Long, long ago a warlike species of aliens ruled this part of the world. They where called 'Xenos'. This warlike race lived mainly under ground and and so had massive wars, these involved exploding nukes below grownd. This caused huge upheavals in the land and this gave rise (Heh heh.) th Lancre. of cource the Xenos died out not long after. In very strange sircumstance.
Ten tousand years later a small tribe of hunters made a home at the base of one of the huge stacks surrounding Lancre. Also at this time The Sultanate Of Laru-Tan appered on the other side Lancre. In this way thing stayed for seven generations. Then...
In the far off region os Switzerland Sucks, political tensions caused two pioneering nations to up and leave. They where the old and wise Sirocco, and the benevalent Sodarules. These two arrived inb the capital of Docere and asked about 'the land in the sky' at this the people said that the megalith was unclimbable and they should just go home. But The brave Siroc and his opposit number in Sodarules began to scale the mighty clifs...
Part II
For two monthe Srioc and Sodarules struggled up the slopes of Lancre, when they reached the top they found a land untouched be civilisation. They knew that they had found the promesed land and emidiately set about colonizing it. Mere days after they arrived Colitare followed, this decadent nation cared nothinng for thee environment and apon colonizing one of the stacks, the one above Docere as it happens, began destroying it wantonly...
The Nations:
The Free Land Of Bellenia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/)
http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/tanzania.jpg
Leader(s)= Bellen
National Motto= "The Future Is Ours"
National Anthem= We Are The Champions!
National Religion= N/A
National Animal= Snark
National Language= Bellenese
History=Bellenia was formed from a loose collection of frequently warring tribes by an outside influence. These newcomers landed on the edge of the Bellenese mountains in a flying ship and as the natives didn't have any flight technology they willingly submitted to Bellenese rule. This was a long time ago and the origins of the original Bellenese ruling class are lost in history. Bellenia became a democracy in 1762 and has been one ever since.
Docere's Comment:Interesting
The Free Land Of Docere (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/)
http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/docere.jpg
Leader(s)= Lord Telrúnya and Lady Meghana
National Motto= "Cogio, Cogio, Ergo, Cogio, Sum... Cogito."
National Anthem= Eleanor Rigby (http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/8703/Eleanor_Rigby.htm/)
National Religion= Neo Atheism
National Animal= The Gecko
National Language= Latin
History= The small nation of Docere originaly was placed at the base of one of the huge stacks that surround Lancre. For years they endured the constant bombarding of footballs from the nation of Colitare, this created a deep loathing for most sports in the hearts of the people. Then a man came, he came from the skyes born aloft by a pair of huge wings, he told the people of Docere about the decadence of Colitare and how that they could dig tunnels up to the surface and conquer Colitare, this happened and now Docere is a huge nation that we all know and love. There still is a colony of Docere on the surface far below Lancre.
Docere's comment:I am very modist you know!
The Empire Of DTAS LAND (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/)
http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/united_kingdom--53.jpg
Leader(s)= Emperor DTAS
National Motto= "We Live And Die For Emperor DTAS"

National Religion=DTASianity
National Animal= Wolf

History= From out of the wilderness appeared a great Leader called Emperor DTAS. This great leader taught the people of the new land to read and write, to appreciate literature and music. The people then began to worship him and a new religion was born, DTASianity. The land then began to flourish as people had families. The land now called DTAS LAND was too small though. More space was needed so DTAS LAND conquered other civilizations and became an Empire, under the control of one Superb Leader. The Great and Glorious Emperor DTAS.
Docere's comment:He's modest as well!
The Empire Of Fluttergork (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/)

Fluttergork was formed by refugees of other countries all around the world, and as such is quite a melting pot of cultures. 90% of the population drinks excessively and consumes more drugs than any other nation. Surprisingly, this tolerance has worked quite well for the GDP.
Docere's Comment:And the other 10% are the most activly minded in Lancre!

History: Laru-tan is an old nation that is crumbling at the edges. Its people worship a plethora of moody gods who wreak divine havoc daily. The Larutians are generally peaceful, but if provoked will kick gluteus maximus and take names. National pastimes include chess and auto racing in addition to the Annual Pun-ishment, where punsters come from far and near to compete for the title of Incorrigible Punster (do not encourage).
Docere's comment:For being old it's sure got a short history!

National Religion= N/A
National Animal= Black-Crested Warbler
National Language= Wenwong
History= Peng-Pau is rules by a benevelant dictatress named Delaria Czjvenedestra. She is a politically minded seductress willing to stop at nothing to get what she wants. She is often childish in her demeanour, and has no scruples over using her attractiveness to her advantage. She was nominated to lead the country at only 17 after the passing of the previous leader, Kang Vrelidioru. She was described as shocked at the decision. There have been a few attempts to discredit her since, several including apparent evidence that she was hiding a blood encrusted knife in her rear pocket. Needless to say, the people making the allogations, er... 'dissappeared' in unusual circumstances... Peng-Pau's citizens have been described as extremely sheep-esque, and have it easy where taxes are concerned. It is said that the tax rates are so low because Delaria has other sources for funding...

Unfortunately, there was a revolution and the citizens invaded, Sirocco as it was then called because it seemed like a good name spread and spread until the whole nation was under it's rule. The mastermind of the rebellion, now the current monarch of the country is called King Siroc.

The Republic Of Spellchecker (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/)

Docere's Comment:Err, that's wonderfull. I hope I spelt that right.
The Princepality Of Tesseract (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/)

Leader(s)= Prince Mannheim I
National Motto= "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven"
National Anthem= God Save The Prince!
National Religion= The Near-God-Worship Of The Royal Family
National Animal= Crocodile
National Language= English
History= Tesseract was once largely uninhabited land, due to having been surrounded by near-impassable mountains. During Victorian times it was claimed and settled as a British colony, until around the time of the Second World War, at which point it pretty much got forgotten due to being fairly small and strategically insignificant.So, when the first Prince of Tesseract declared his nation's independence, the world and Tesseract's former colonial masters pretty much ignored it; a memo may have made it's way onto the British Foreign Secretary's desk, but it certainly wasn't paid any great attention.These days, it's inhabited by a curious collection of fourth- and fifth- generation expatriate Brits and native Tesseractish people. Notably, there's not been any taboos on interracial relationships since Tesseract went independent, and so previous racial differences have more-or-less disappeared by now.
Docere's Comment:Very, thorough.

Turif is a compassionate nation brought together by its caring of animals.
Docere's comment:for those of you who still don't get it. These guys LOVE animals!
