Monterouge

Monterouge
Monterouge (full name: People's Republic of Monterouge) is a socialist country founded by the people of Sprucia and Valerinis on 27.03.2024. Its ideology was set in stone by those from Sprucia, a former socialist country, taking example in this country they claim to be the continuation of. 
Before the Republic
The country was founded by Robert Luckovick, Isaac ???, both from Sprucia, running from a country with an ever growing corrupt elite, and Sophie Gloscral, great-granddaughter of Loolime the III Gloscral, back then King of the Free City of Valerinia. She fled because of the worrying news about the Revolution from the neighbouring country, Meladonia, convincee by the two men to go far and create a socialist utopia.
The beginning - Gloscral-R. Luckovick joint presidency
At the beginning there was nothing but a mountain filled with cherry trees and surrounded by nothing but fields of wilderness. In this period, new people came, running from their original place for different reasons, such as Nathan Gray, Theodor Luckovick and Sara. They built houses and commonly used items and resources. R. Luckovick wished for a fair, equal society and his visions shaped the future of the Republic, while Sophie was a fragile leader, never wishing to be one and never truely believing in the idea of communism. This is when the first plans for year 1 were made: residential and industrial buildings will be defining the landscapes of Monterouge. Unfortunately, shortly after the creation of the Republic, Supreme Comrade Robert Luckovick died, the cause being unknown.
Gloscral presidency
Finding herself alone, yet the most competent to rule from that hand of simple working people, she tried implementing some of Robert's ideas, building the Library, the School, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Monterouge and the Treasury. All went well, but progressed slowly. People were pretty much free to do whatever and work was simply an act of patriotism or a force of habit for most. Nothing could change more the status-quo than the arrival of a certain individual, post member of the Communist Party of Sprucia, Comrade Alexsei Volodin.
Volodin was an extremly devoted socialist, believing in doing all according to the book, with no exceptions. In his views, unlike Sophie's, Monterouge had to stay isolated from the world as much as possible, had to industrialize rapidly, to constantly increase work efficiency and resource production and to apply a 5-years plan, in which to transform this still agrarian state into an industrial powerhouse with a working society, with people activly taking responsibility in their jobs and working for the better of the country. Using the fragility and lack of experience of his counter-candidate, he started speaking out against her rule and wished for elections to be held. As the popular opinion starting turning more and more into Volodin's side, she decided to go down with the election. Comrade Alexsei Volodin won.
Volodin presidency
The moment he took the power he was ready to reshape the Republic. Although close to the 1 year anniversary, he decided to force the hand by accomplishing a monstrous project: the Palace of the People, later also named the Palace of the Workers; a commercial, residencial and administrative building, greater in size than most if not all the other buildings in the world. With great effort and non-stop work, with only 5 people and a few months left, the Palace was finished a day before the 1st anniversary of the Republic.
At the Congress of the Communist Party of Monterouge, Alexsei Volodin would state his 5-year plan and the projects to be completed by the end of year 2, the most remarkable being the Park of the Republic, improving the entire architecture from the Republic and creating the Industrial District, having more than 20 factories combined. Despite the absurd amount of projects compared to the small amount of citizens, they were all finished before the term. The general feeling between the inhabitants was a mix between exhaustion and pride.
Third year came with a decrease in projects but an increase in resource productivity. As the Republic became richer and richer, starting to be feared by some, the leader became more and more insane while the people became poorer and poorer. The bad living conditions surpassed any feeling of pride or patriotism. Bread and baked potatoes weren't enough to make the people feel it was worth struggling for all this.
The Working Camp started being used. The population decreased by half, as people fled or died. Its little openness towards the outside, mainly with ideologically similar countries, such as Spesnova, did nothing to help the conditions of the people. To top it all, the last project of Alexsei Volodin, a new district, biggest in the world, The Boulevard, surrounded by 6 immense buildings and, at the end of the road, on a hill, rising from the ground, a new Central Committee for the Communist Party. This place was meant for the institutions, residential apartments, parades and diplomatic missions. But it was too late. The people simply couldn't fulfill the gap anymore. Nobody could build in 2 as they did in 5 or get more resources than in the 2nd year, when they had the entirety of Valerinia for resources. 
Seeing these, Comrade Alexsei Volodin decided to recall an election to confirm that the people love him. All citizens were made candidates as well. The results were clear... people wanted a change. Theodor Luckovick won with 100% of the votes, leading the country through a new, yet rough era.
T. Luckovick presidency
The election of a new leader came with liberalization, removal of censorship, less projects and a general era of stagnation. He decided to open up the country, by joining the International Spawn Meeting and getting the country recognized internationally, establishing formal and informal relations and alliances with Vocra, Spesnova, Meladonia and conspiring with the countries of the world against the ever-increasing power of Karyvia and influence of its president, Amarok Kaldwin, over the nations of the world. After the great Plague July 2024, which led to the death of multiple world leaders, he decided to choose his unofficial right-hand, Sophie Gloscral, as the co-president of the Republic.
T. Luckovick-Gloscral presidency
Short-lived, it was mainly characterized by ideas and strategies for stability, prosperity, population growth, expansion and peace keeping. The International Meeting of 21st of July 2024 marked the bloodiest day in the history of Monterouge, when suddenly, talks about peace and lands devolved into an assasination of the two presidents, by Newt Doestoesvsky (president of Meursault), Cristopher Wenceslas (president of Karyvia) and BloodyBerry Blitz. This led to the only alive citizen left, Loolime the III Gloscral, to take power in this now empty country, in this now empty world.
