This is more organized than the first, since it is in the format of the CIA World Factbook. I used some of its information about Mongolia, like area and terrain.

Introduction
Background: Around 500 B.C., settlers immigrated to the area of Spolotikopia, and settled the first village there. These settlers had Amish beliefs, and did not associate themselves with any technology. By the 16th century, the
descendants of the settlers had spread out all over the area and settled more cities. But they had forgotten all previous technology, and forgotten about the outside world. They also had not made any advances in technology, so while the rest of the world was developing guns, these people were not doing anything. And so, towards the end of the twentieth century, one man united an army, and conquered all of the area, except for one city. When his army came to that city, the leader, Jahn Spolotik, drove them back, and completely defeated the army. The people all united behind Spolotik, and the country was renamed Spolotikopia.
