The resistance leader the greek noble man,Alexandros Stephenapolis led the greek fighters from near collapse all the way to the walls of the capital,Nipas, in the ensueing battle for the streets,Alex was mortally wounded and told his brother who faught by his side to "let my sword represent the sacrafice and triumph on this day and let my blood be poured on the king, so he shall feel the blood of a freeman." In his honor the city was renamed "EmatooAlecou" which means in greek Blood of Alex and his spirit is said to guard the battleground were he fell.And althought the constitution was passed on March 12th 1784,a law was passed that declared the countries official day of independence was the date of Alex's death not the day the monarch fell (1 day after his death) or the day the constitution was passed.The country then started to trade with the english and became renowned musket makers for them during the napolionic era.Today it still shares both spainish and greek culture.It has a strong economy mainly due to its expertise in the arms industry,for making very reliable and cheap weapons.Alex still remains a great hero in Morvonia because he faught for the poor even though he was a noble man.
FACTS: Gun control is a major issue for Morvonia since it produces major amounts of guns per year.
Morvonia has alot of religions with a large majority being greek orthodox (about 39%)
The blood festival,held on the anniversery of Alex's death,includes a large parade,fire works display and more outdoor activities.The parade includes a float with a man dressed like a king dancing around and the onlookers can buy cow blood and toss it at him and the sword of Alex,the only time it is allowed to be seen outside the royal musium's vault.
