Peterian City State

In 1912, Jim Hopkins recognized the need for a formal government in the city due to rising crime and inflation. A government was established formally named the Democratic Petorian City State, formally creating a city-state, with Hopkins serving as the first and only president. He held office for two terms, which concluded in 1920. This was the first official state on the PGBR Islands since the Pissguys almost 11000 years prior.
During this period, significant waves of Croatian immigrants arrived in Peteria, drawn by the region's flat land and agricultural potential. By 1920, Croatians made up 36% of the population, which stood at 234,000, including residents of Rockvalley and surrounding municipalities. The government collapsed after British occupation in 1921, due to the Election of 1920 being forgotten about.
