The Imperial Commonwealth of The Island of Rose (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=the_island_of_rose)

There was an Island, and people immigrated to that Island. Russians, English, Spanish, Germans even some Frenchmen went there. And then... well you know. The Island of Rose's history is one filled with eccentricities and war. Peace and just plain insanity. But this is what makes Rose, Rose. The Island of Rose is named for it's many many Rose fields. Which are protected by law and anybody destroying one will get the death penalty. No seriously, they will. The major cities sit on the coast and inside these Rose fields and most of the Population live in small little towns and villages. The major cities are:

Rose:The Capital city and the most busy port of the Island. It is a huge stop for trade and over 153 million people live in the city.

Roska: A former Russian colony, it's home to over 153,000,000 people. A military port, home to one of the Rosian Navy's fleets. It is also home to the Streaking Hall of Fame.

Rosingrad: Formally known as New Greenland, it was taken over at the Revolution and renamed Rosingrad. This is a hot spot for Englishmen and it's population is 153,000,000.

Red: The second newest major city. Built right after the Revolution it is home to 153,000,000. This is a major Hispanic city and if you're not careful with the women you will be beaten, by the women. This is also a major historical site. Home to many monuments in honor of the Rose's history.

Eltengrad: Home to Germans, this city is famous for it's cheap hamburgers and sausages. It's also famous for it's weird German accents. Population is 150,000,000

Rosktai: Home to most Spec Op operatives. It is famous for providing the best soldiers in the Army. It's also where the most crime happens. Currently this is where a small mob is trying to take power. But we'll handle that. Current population is 153,000,000. This is due to the number of underground homes. They're nice looking though.

Ilyanovastein: The newest city to the Island. Named after the current President, Sergei Ilyanov. It's population is 30,000 and it functions like a normal city. It's also home to many retired persons. It is also the home of The Rose Resort.

History
The Island of Rose was nothing but a small Island, home to many colonies. Until 1812, June 5th. That day, all the cities united, and pledged to rid themselves of this tyranny. But luckily they all left to political reasons and there was no bloodloss. The Rosians call this the Red Revolution, as a joke. After the colonists lost the cities decided to make a loose Federation to defend themselves. And so they lived in a Feudal way of live until 1900. Nothing much happened between the years, Streaking was still a sport and trade and the economy prospered. The people were happy... until 1900, which is when the Industrial Revolution took off.

There were no limits to capatilism, for 30 years the people suffered under the wrath of the Coporations. The cities had one major Corporation, but it was ruled under one giant Corporation. Rose Inc. The CEO was Elto Ilyanovastein. Then, the Communist Manifesto sneaked it's way towards the many local bars. The Rosian Phantom, because nobody knows how he looks like or what his name is, got a submachine gun and ran towards the CEO's building. He shot anything that moved. He soon reached his office, rumors said the last words the CEO heard was "For Marx." Bang, the CEO was dead on the floor, his blood pooling. A Revolution was on! This was not a bloodless Revolution, this was a 3 year Civil War. This climaxed into the taking of the City of Rose. Now they were free, but who would run them?

There was a rush to make a federal goverment, a Constitution. All based on the ideas of Marx. Five years after, the cities were united under One Party Rule from the Communist Party. They abolished old racist laws, gave more to the people and provided free housing for the poor. All this meant a rise on taxes, which almost started a revolution. It was put down luckily by a universal streaking match. In which after they were drugged and they forgot.

For 20 years, One Party Rule dominated the Island. One day, a man against communism spoke out. He was arrested. The contreversy known as the "The Red Hater" Contreversy spoke out. They demanded seats in Parliament, representation, more rights. The police put them down. The General Secretary, because there was no President yet, decided to give them seats in Parliament. Because of this taxes lowered and the economy improved.

The 60s are known as the Red Age of the Island of Rose, beacause it was at it's finest. No crime, no problems, no war. It was peace, peace, peace. Becaues of this, there was too much, sex, sex, sex. This lead to a boom in the population. It also lead to problems in the 70s and 80s.

The 70s and 80s are know as the Age of the Right Wing's Revenge. Because of the amount of disease spread through out the population boom, there was a shortage in medical supplies. The economy also went down as a result. A 20 year recession was on it's way. Also a war to take out the Rosian Eagles was underway. They were spreading a disease known as Red Bump. This gave the sufferer soars on him and horrible pain. It was the Island's own Vietnam war, 900,000 died in this war due to sickness. There seemed no hope...

...Until the 90s! The early 90s, were the worst. People were looking for a fresh young leader. This is when the very own Sergei Ilyanov ran for President. He flooded the ballots, winning 95% of the vote. With him, he implemented socialist and capatilist methods to improve the economy. He also increased health spending and is currently fixing the military. He joined his nation with the International, Victoria, and the United Nations. He was also Delegate for a time. Yes, he saved the Island from it's ruin and now it's doing better then before. And now, only God knows what's ahead...

Rosian Culture
The Rosians are known to be eccentric by nature. They're national sport is streaking. They judge by size, bounce, proportion, speed, and agility. The current champion is a nudist and resides in the City of Roska. They are known to be very liberal about topics. Though, they can be insane at times. They are also very anti-dictatorship. This is due to the fact that Facists are shot on site, and the police "didn't see the crime". They also are a very compassionate and intelligent people and spit on ignorance. Ironically, you can still be dumb and vote. The roads are also dangerous, with trucks sporting 50 Calibur machine guns and grenade launchers, it can be terrifying, which is why people walk, and which is why the Rosians are a fit people. Due to steaking, pornagraphy is also very cheap. 5 cents is the least and 5$ is the most in prices. Their food consists of hispanic style foods, such as rice, chicken, pastries, and croquettes. Alcohol is only consumed in special holidays, such as Christmas. Talking about Christmas most Rosians are Roman Catholics, but don't act like them, heh heh. The music Rosians like are rap and techno, even the President listens to them. Guns are plentiful and it keeps crime down. It also makes the Rosians even more dangerous in formal society. The Rosians hate suits and prefer a t-shirt and jeans, which is why suits cost 10,000$ and it's better to sow your own. In the end, Rosians are insane and eccentric, so tread lightly...


Rosian Geography
The geography is mostly flatland, with two major rivers cutting into the City of Rose and the City of Roska. Small villages and towns scatters the Island with a rocky coast protecting the shoreline. That's about it...
