Hokay, so here it is.
The nation of the Aging Punks is basically an area that was started 50 years ago by Bazzle Wormsworth, a Brooklyn punk that got tired of the gradual erosion of individual freedoms in the US. He got together with 100 other older punks and bought a sizeable chunk of Mexico, near the Central American border, to lord over as they saw fit. A steady influx of punks world-wide trickled in, and many just never left. They also began buying land until a good sized slice was carved out for themselves.
At this time, there is no seriously organized government, even though everyone in the land sees a need for some form of leadership. It's run by a parliamentary meritocracy of the leaders of the 24 largest gangs and political movements in the area. Wormsworth's grandson, Wez Wormsworth, is currently running the show as the Big Cheese. His idealism and motivation keep the people going forward in a steady direction.
There is a defensive military in effect, with rebuilt Chevy Novas and the like serving as vehicles, and whatever can be scraped together, bought at national yard sales or home-built are also used. Major exports are uranium (not weapons grade), clothing and jewelry (mostly consisting of S&M gear) and musical groups. Tourism is healthy, with punks world-wide coming by to get a good break from regional politics of other nations, and some decide to stay for the duration. Many punk rock stars take their vacations here, and have homes for when they take their holidays.
And so we announce our bid to enter into the world stage. All friendly communications will be hailed and drank to. All nasty characters get the Bronx Cheer and two fingers in the air.
We would like to open diplomatic relations, trade and any other kind of fudgey goodness with other nations. And while we're at it, should we start a region up? We'll do so if other nations of like ideals would join up.
OOC: Pictures of local figures, and more info will be forthcoming. Pose any questions, and they'll be answered.
