The Federal Republic of Bonstock, according to renegade scientists who formulated new theories about an alternate "RL" universe, have said that Bonstock will be exactly one year old in "RL" time on June 1st.
This, of course, has been the cause of great celebration in the capital, Port Yuko.
Field Marshal Gustavus Adolphus, President of Bonstock, had these words to say: "The pathetic penninsula has become a world empire. What was once thought of as a tiny, worthless nation, has become one of the greatest of all world leaders. From 5 million to 2 billion, we will only get more powerful. May Bonstock last 1000 years!"
The occasion was taken to show of the Bonstocknian military to the world.
Fifteen million personnel are employed by the Bonstocknian Department of Defense, most of them conscripts, but still one of the greatest fighting forces avaliable. A quick summary:
Combined Forces Command, Port Yuko
The nerve center of the Bonstocknian military, situated in a deep bunker below the Bonstocknian capital of Port Yuko, employs nearly 600,000 people. With representatives from all branches, it is able to withstand nuclear attack and continue controlling the Bonstocknian military.
