History

FunkyMonkeyLand
As the name suggests, before New FunkyMonkeyLand, came FunkyMonkeyLand. FunkyMonkeyLand was ruled with an iron fist by a communist dictator. The populace were given a high level of civil freedom, but criminals were mercilessly gunned down in the street. While the state of affairs was acceptable to some, many were displeased with the imploded economy, absense of political freedoms, and ruthless extermination of anyone who committed a crime, without trial. This displeasure eventually escalated into protests and riots. Seeing all the chaos, the dictator eventually decided to stand down, and despite efforts to turn FunkyMonkeyLand into a pleasant, democratic state, the nation ceased to exist.

New FunkyMonkeyLand
Though many of FunkyMonkeyLand's former citizens decided to make their homes in neighboring nations, a small few took it upon themselves to rebuild their nation as a functioning entity, and make it a better place than FunkyMonkeyLand had been. Using recently developed space-tech they found a planet and began to colonise it. They named this world "Planet Monkey". Using native plants and animals they made this world in the image of their old home. A few of their neighboring nations decided to join them on this new planet. Since then, people have lived peacefully under New FunkyMonkeyLand's practical, centrist politics.
