Penpusher Confederacy

History
The nation of Penpusheria is the birthplace of many nations. The Penpusher Confederacy was formed after a bloody coup d'etat took place, headed by General Paul Shockley in 1948. The former government was weak, and could not control many things such as drug trafficking, bootlegging, and other such crimes. In 1954 the military-controlled government established a democratic regime, with free elections and a parliament. In 1959, however, the economy collapsed. Prime Minister George Gibson was removed from power afterwards, and a new prime minister, Harry Donovan, passed several economic reforms. Although this strengthened the economy by a long shot, it never restored the economy to its original state. On March 2004, the nation was split in three parts. They are East Penpusheria, the Penpusher Confederacy, and West Penpusheria. The three share a common monarch. Today, the government is working on several economic reforms intended to restore the Penpusher economy to its original might.
