History
Tejoland was the easternmost principality in Kievan Rus. The original territory stretched from the slopes of the Carpathian Mountains to the Dniester floodplains. After numerous raids by tribes from the wild fields and hereditary wars within, the Kiev empire slowly disintegrated and the individual principalities became more and more autonomous. Due to its western location, Tejoland is halfway protected from the plunderers and experiences a golden age through trade with Byzantium. During this time, Tejoland's legendary capital Edge is founded by Prince Tejus on the Dniester. However, the golden age was ended by the invasion of the Mongols, Tejoland was overrun and plundered by the Mongols, as was the rest of Kievan Rus. 
After the Mongol empire had disintegrated, Tejoland was able to free itself from the shackles of the Mongols. The country now stretched from the southern slopes of the Carpathians to the rivers Bug and Don. However, the golden horde remained as Tejoland's constant rival and led several war campaigns against them. But with the help of Moldova, Tejoland succeeded in driving the Golden Horde away for good. The Romanians in Moldavia and Wallachia became the best friends of the country, as Tejoland helped them to defend themselves against the Ottoman Empire. Together with Moldavia, Tejoland succeeded in extending his dominion as far as northern Ukraine and the Black Sea. But Tejoland's luck came to an end when they were brought into the Polish-Lithuanian Empire after a shameful defeat against Polish horsemen. Tejoland remained under the Polish crown for a long time, and except for a few uprisings, Tejoland was relatively well integrated into the empire until the imperialism of Prussia, Russia and Austria tore the country apart. 
All of Tejoland was now under the Austrian crown. During the First World War, Tejoland was directly on the front line to Russia. After the Austrian defeat, Tejoland was independent again. In the Second World War Tejoland was overrun by Germany and a fascist vassal state was installed. After the end of the Second World War a socialist state was established in Tejoland by Joseph Stalin and it became part of the Eastern Bloc. Half a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a wave of protest in Tejoland led to the decline of socialism. 
After initially bad development due to the damage caused by the dictatorship and corruption, the situation improved considerably under Prime Minister Tekus Ackeric. The country survived the economic crisis of 2009 relatively well.
