I realize only a little has changed, but the last threads had become arguments and were full of insults... So here is the FWS Factbook.
Note that currently FWS has about 18% unemployment and 20% below the poverty line. But it is just a temporary economic downturn... We'll be back in the fast lane before you know it.
Background: The nation was formed after Namibia and Rhodesia united on November 20th, 1965... They decided to annex Botswana to be able to have ease of movement. Also, many white settlers lived in Botswana... Whites from all over the world were encouraged to move to Namibia by the newly elected Fascist National Party in 1959, later they would move to Botswana and Rhodesia after the FWS was born. Most of the people who moved to the nation were Americans, English, and French... Many Russians later immigrated to FWS. FWS established a reputation for granting citizenship to Nazi war criminals that could no longer stay in South America, and Klansmen fleeing federal charges in the USA. The white population grew rapidly and eventually in the late 1960s, the blacks were all expelled from FWS. The current president, Hendrik Rhodes won a national election last year with 90% of the vote, marking the start of his second term.
Recent political events have shown a degree on instability in FWS.
The Order of Governments in FWS was.
Hendrik Rhodes (president since 1990) who in early May 2004 abdicated in favor of Alexander Rhodes, who was toppled by the army. The army brought Hendrik Rhodes back to power for a short time. Hendrik Rhodes left again.
Then Donald Rhodes was named as president by Parliament. Fascists upset over the cease-fire in the war, assassinated Donald Rhodes.
Parliament then named Andrew Rhodes as president. Andrew Rhodes was assassinated in an attack by VX gas against the presidential residence in Rhodes City. Also, there was an attack against Parliament that killed him along with 121 out of 400 Parliament members.
Parliament named Peter Paul Rhodes as president. Peter Paul Rhodes was assassinated by a massive truck bomb as he addressed parliament. About 120-130 members of Parliament were killed in the blast.
Parliament named Henry Petain as leader. A parliament member shot him to death a short time later after he had announced he might relax immigration laws.
Parliament named Grenadier Guards General William George Chard as President.
President General William George Chard was assassinated by one of his own Grenadier guards after he declared that elections would be “postponed indefinitely”.
Hendrik Rhodes won the May 2004 election by about 90% of the vote in a write in.
