Jonkburgia

Jonkburgia, officially the United Peoples Republic of Jonkburgia, commonly abbreviated as UPRJ, was a small single-party Kresslitist artificial-island nation located in the Sea of Gustavus, in Eldham. Its Ideology was invented by its founder, TheJonkMan, who originally founded a small squatter town named Jonkburg, which then would lead to the formation of the UPRJ. 
== History ==
=== Founding of Jonkburg ===
Jonkburg was a small squatter farm town formed by TheJonkMan after he tried to join the United Socialist States of Eldham, but ended up forming his own small commune village, but after gaining its first citizen tragedy struck, the town of Jonkburg was unfortunately in the middle of the nation Irulan's territory, but TheJonkMan was able to speak with someone from Irulan, but, once again tragedy struck, TheJonkMan was going to be forced to move, or they would be annexed, and TheJonkMan had no money, he could not afford to move but then, good luck finally shined its path, and Jonkburg was abolished, but then rose Jonkburgia.
The small state of Jonkburgia was the new rise of the fallen town of Jonkburg, Jonkburgia was formed on an island, a man-made island built by TheJonkMan, De_Dum_Man, DiamondNin, and Able2K. The small man-made island was then dubbed the 'Isle of Sheeplia' Based off of the small religion of Sheepism, and their god, Sheeplia. But then as Sheeplia was founded they gained a citizen, so they had to expand, which caused the small island to be referred to as Jonkburgia, which then followed a month of political Chaos.
=== Formation of the UPRJ ===
The UPRJ was formed after the month of political confusion, but before then, the small island nation was indecisive on what their government should be, They were deciding if they should be formed as a republic, or as a socialist union, but in the end they chose to be a mix of a revised communist republic, but, unknowing to them, communism isn't quite the best idea, and after another three days of confusion, TheJonkMan wrote and spread his own Ideology, Kresslitism, Which then, the Jonkburgian Kresslitist Party was formed. Then quickly after that, the nation was completely under control by the party, after that they re-branded themselves as the United Peoples Republic of Jonkburgia, but then with that change, came to a slow decrease in Sheepism followers, so the Isle of Sheeplia was renamed to the Isle of Sheepliten, (As of Recently Sheepliten has been renamed to Jupstadt after a vote was held to remove any religious affiliation with Sheepism due to recent controversies involving Sheepism.).
=== Meltov Square Raids ===
Recently the UPRJ has faced some tragic events, it all starts with a player known as Blvzzxrd who was at the time a new citizen, declared himself as the new prophet of Sheepism, and revised the religion as he saw fit. After reinventing the 'new' version of Sheepism, he traveled to the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, and attacked some of its citizens and their guards, declaring that the UPRJ would put an end to their imperialist ways, which angered some of its citizens, so the group of citizens traveled to the island of Sheepliten and attacked the residents who where present, after that Blvzzxrd and TheJonkMan fled to Meltov City, which at the time, was under construction, and then the raiding of Meltov square commenced, which led to Days of Meltov city being raiding by the AWE and Vikings.
After Jonkman and Blvzzxrd fled to Meltov, the AWE followed them shortly after, which started an un-official battle that lasted around two hours, the UPRJ lost because of their inferior amount of people,(There were only 2 citizens online), But then, a day after the battle one of the leaders of the AWE agreed to a non-aggression deal, But after that Vikings showed up and raided them, for which lasted around 4 hours in total, which in the end the UPRJ and its citizens won't the Raid and eventually killed the Viking, but the next day, the Viking and his comrades showed up and raided again, which that time it was a shoot-out that lasted an hour, then eventually they got a mod involved, and the mod banned the Viking for frequent raiding. TheJonkMan after surviving both raids said, "Lmao how did we win." -Hanz Jonkman. After the raids were finished, Blvzzxrd was then thrown into a gulag, then he was promptly exiled from the UPRJ for almost starting a war they could not win.
=== Rattican-Raids ===
The UPRJ has suffered numerous raids from the Rattican, as early as , the first Raid began. There are two more un-documented raids that occurred, and the UPRJ lost both of them within a few hours. And as a result of these raids, the UPRJ has had a fueling hate for the Ideology of Ratism, and the Rattican Empire.
==== Pest Battle of Meltov Square ====
The first Rattican Raid of Sheepliten occurred around . the battle lasted a grueling two hours (estimated), The battle was fought with courage from both sides. The battle was chaotic and within the anarchy, the Church of Sheeplia attempted to form a coup, which failed due to the fact the Rattican had slaughtered a majority of their "holy army," but this chaos led to a fire breaking out causing much damage to the surrounding areas of Meltov Square, which halted construction. yet in the end, the UPRJ lost, and the Rattican occupied their capital for a few days and then left. The Nation was left in shock and despair, yet it fueled their propaganda campaign against the Rattican. and brought patriotism back stronger than before, but also left the feeling of resentment towards other nations, which cause higher security measures to take place, and the nation became very closed off and secretive up until recently.
=== Vermin Invasion ===
Recently as of 5/17/23, the Rattican raided Meltov Square, putting the Nation in a state of emergency, confusion, and fear. The three defenders of Meltov Square were Hanz Jonkman, GamingB3ANZ, and CaptainGangar. The three Jonkburgians were initially visited by a Rat to warn them of the coming invasion, his time the Rattican planned on taking Meltov City for their own, after hearing this news Jonkman had to act fast, so they gathered as much as they could, and stashed it away. B3ANZ and Jonkman hid in a bunker underneath the National Office in hopes they could avoid combat, yet the Rattican was persistent, so in a moment of fear, they left the Bunker and began a battle that lasted an estimated three hours. Amid combat, it seemed as though they would lose the island, and the Jonkburgians feared that this would be the end of the UPRJ, but at that moment, Hanz Jonkman decided to give a small speech.
Within that moment, they pushed forward and charged the attacking Rats, after 10-20 minutes of more fightin, and throwing eggs, the Rats eventually retreated from the island and swam away. Jonkman and the other Jonkburgians recalled saying things such as, "Huh why are leaving", "Did we win?!" and "I think they cut off my balls". This was a culturally significant event for the people of Jonkburgia. While the UPRJ suffered casualties far heavier than those of the Rattican, the retreat of Rattican forces allowed the UPRJ to stand another day. 
=== Collapse ===
The United Peoples Republic of Jonkburgia officially collapsed on after internal conflict regarding the new leader Beans Kaiserheim and the National party.
Hanz Jonkman, founding father of Jonkburgia retired soon after the UPRJs one year Unification Day, and in his he appointed Beans Kaiserheim, a trusted member of the community, veteran who fought in the Rattican Raids, and head of peoples military. At around this time Beans opposed the one party system and established the Jonkburgian-National Kresslitist Party, which went against the Jonkburgian constitution, which caused mixed public emotions. After vowing to establish a strong, wealthy Jonkburgian future, he began to establish policies that led to the death of the UPRJ.
A week after Beans came in power, him and the national party started to enforce anti-Kresslitist policies, such as economic laws that went against the constitution, and allow company expansion, slave labor, and food/housing tax. After this documentation has been lost, due to beans attempting to erase his wrong-doings, and burning thousands of Jonkburgian documents. All that was found was an official broadcasting message.
After the collapse of Jonkburgia, the Jonkburgian island was abandoned. Noticing this, the neighbouring Kingdom of Amarillo quickly sent a military party to sack the abandoned artificial island town of Judstadt. The Amarillians, led by Soronaca de Porphyropolis, took all the items of value they could find, as well as all UPRJ flags, and replaced the biggest of them by an Amarillian flag. The few books left behind by the Jonkburgians were taken to Porphyropolis to be preserved. The Amarillians planned to launch a second expedition to fully destroy the artificial island, but a settlement named Helegoo established its control on the Jonkburgian isle. As, like the UPRJ, it did not seem threatening to them, the Amarillians just let the settlement be.
== Government ==
The government was a council of four people in control of the Jonkburgian Kresslitist Party: the Staatsoberhaupt or Head of State, the Deputy-Staatsoberhaupt, the OberhauptVolksmilitär or Minister of Peoples Military and the Wirtschaftsminister or Minister of Economics. This council iswascalled the National Workers Council or NWC. The NWC was in charge of how the state was run, with positions for the NWC being voted on every year or two. They enforced the ideology of Kresslitism in which they ensured a classless, tax-less society with equal distribution of basic materials to live.
== Culture ==
In , the Museum of Jonkburgian cultural history started construction after the discovery of where the first Jonkburgian Settlers originated from. Jonkburgian Culture was taught at the museum. The original traces of where the Jonkburgians came from could be traced to an area located in Sparwood near the tundra and ice. Jonkburgian folklore and articles hint that there was an ancient, long-lost settlement called "Volkkstagervelo" or "Gervenia" which the first Jonkurgian travelers originated from, although this theory is based in speculation and lacks concrete proof. The features of a Jonkburgian would be purple or brown hair, green, yellow, blue, red, or brown eyes, darker skin around the eyes, and pale skin. 
== Vexillology ==
The flag which was made after the formation of the UPRJ, was loosely inspired by the old flag of the United Burgamerian Socialist Republic. The meaning being the flag is that the white represents the people's loyalty and freedom, the red represents the people's strength and fury, the gear means revolution, and finally, the star with the circle represents the union between the workers which in the end represents the entirety of the United Peoples Republic of Jonkburgia.
