Hello to the world, the Kingdom of Emerald Springs presents the facts of our nation:
HISTORY:
The beautiful and glorious land of EMSPR was founded completely by accident. In the early 1900’s a steamship full of displaced citizens of several nations we’re sailing to find a place to live. However a terrible storm washed them ashore an island. A fairly big island. Now the 1800 people had nothing to do but make it home. But problems plagued from the start. Some people had trouble adapting to the very hot climate, and it was the middle of Hurricane season. Several hurricanes ravaged them week after week, causing a few deaths, and much destruction. Out of the 1800 people 1,732 survived the first month.
Fortunately, the weather became calm, and the people began to spread. As they speeded, they found several areas of natural hot spring, waterfalls, cool springs, and plenty of food.
The natives took great advantage of these springs, using them for bathing, swimming, washing, crop growing, etc.
For a long while technology was very limited. Electricity didn’t even make it until the mid 50’s. Also at this time, a revolution was underway. The island’s largest family declared themselves Royal Rule, and promised democracy. “As so long as this Royal House Ship shall remain, we will bestow unto you freedom.” -King Ludokai I. Sadly many in the rest of the world have shrugged it off as dictatorship in disguise. However the people we’re largely unoppressed.
Finally as the 60’s and 70’s came, EMSPR managed to become modernized. But due to its remote location, it was rather isolated. Staying off the Radar from most countries, and really keeping to it’s self, while.
GOVERNMENT:
The Royal Family does have the executive powers, however people have a say in how the government is ran. People can address the Royal House of Politics, telling what issues they want and do not want. While there are no elections, people don’t mind. The Royal family knows the meaning of “treating people well, or else.” Civil rights are superb, minorities are rarely antagonized.
GEOGRAPHY:
The island is rather large. Larger than Japan and England, but smaller than Australia.
Big peaks span the north and snake down in the west. The east has a few peaks, but not many. The Midwest is flat and that is where most of the farming goes on. The Capital sits on the coast, and it’s the largest city in the country.
Glorious crystal clear freshwater spring’s rivers, and waterfalls, and hot springs, can be found all over the country. They make for wonderful romantic spots, and swinging hang outs.
CULTURE:
Music is big entertainment. While people do enjoy movies, T.V. and other media, going to concerts are the big things. People love to attend modern, classical, jazz, and “Sounds of the Movies” which performs scores from various movies. Music Education is a big deal amongst many parents. Bands Orchestra’s Choirs, are just as big as sport teams.
People often attend dance, or book clubs. Poetry clubs meet almost every night.
The official language is: Kauximoi
No official religion is established by the country. People are free to chose what religion they chose. In the east Christianity and Catholicism are big. Twoards the west LDS, Lutheranism, and Protestantism are big.
MILITARY:
Offical Branches of the House of Defense
ARMY
NAVY
AIRFORCE
SPECIAL FORCES (NEW)
HOME DEFENSE FORCES
The Military is optional. The King is considered the Commander in Chief.
