History:
The Federation of Amazonian Beasts came together as a rebellion against the oppressive regime of the Empire of Four. Several underground leaders joined their rebel forces together to form one unified front. As they made negotiations, they watched several smaller herbovores outside their makeshift HG defeat a large predator, hence they named their alliance the Federation of Amazonian Beasts, to commemorate the day when they would take Amazonia, the capital. They put General Nathan Wimbush in charge of leading the Federation's armed forces. Though the Empire of Four had a significant numerical advantage, the tactics and military intelligence of Nathan Wimbush earned the Federation several key victories. On March 26, 1990, the Federation forces under Wimbush entered the capital and executed the oppressive Emperor Tigaris. The FedAB council institued a new democratic government, putting together and finalizing a Constitution on May 7 of the same year. Wimbush was elected the first President and served one 3-year term before stepping down. The current President is Byron Graham, on the 2nd year of his first 3-year term. Now the FedAB has gone international, assisting the Sons of Tarsonis in their war agianst the Alanorian forces. Though this is proving a strain on the military, it will be the first true test to see how the FedAB can stand with the rest of the international community.

It looks great so far.

OOC: Though your nation seemed a bit large to me when you compare it to your population, but I guess alot of things could state why that is, or you could simply grow into it with time. Definately a good factbook, which is for a nation so young, but its definately a good sign.

OOC: Thanks Antanjyl, and its kinda large but the desert and mountain ranges span a good portion, and they're fairly sparesly populated. I'll update where the population is centered, thanks for the info.
