Vinlutia

**Vinlutese People's Republic** aka **Vinlutia** is an country in **Europe** and is the middle-size country. The country was formed on **April 5. 1739** and its capital city is Turku. The nation was created by Vinluts after Swedo-Russian war. **Vinluts** are ethnically **Inuits**. Around the 16th century they came from Greenland to the North Cape, and next they slowly walks on south, when in 17th century they come to the Gulf of Finland. Vinlutian Army is called "Blue Army", or sometimes "Soldiers of Blue Cross".

 Etymology

The name "**Vinlutia**" comes from the words in inuit language - "**Vinen Lutet**", which means Lutetium users. Lutet was the material from which Vinluts made basic tools and obtained it from local caves.

 History

After reaching the Gulf of Finland Vinluts began to build cities, including Turku (vl. Turkun) - the later capital of independent Vinlutia. Vinluts began to unite the nation, but they were still only a local ethnic group in the Swedish Empire. The opportunity came only in 1737, when the Russian Tsardom declared war on the Swedes.

Vinluts realized then that there was a perfect chance for independence. Preparation for the uprising lasted about 2 years, when on January 21, 1739, the entire nation stood up to fight the Swedes who had won the war. The uprising lasted 75 days, after which the president of Vinlutia and the leaders of two powers signed a treaty in Liepaja ending the war in the region of Finland. It was the 5th day of April, Sunday. On this day Vinlutia broke free from Sweden.

Until 1914, nothing changed with the country. Then the Great War broke out. Vinlutia, counting on the salary of the Entente, joined it. The soldiers of the Blue Army set off for the eastern front. The Russians owe them, among other things, many won battles, such as the battle of Borisov in 1917, when the "Blues" cleverly surrounded and destroyed the German troops there. In gratitude for help, Russia planned to hand over part of its lands to them after the war, but everything was thwarted by the Bolshevik revolution. Vinluts, not wanting to let the country flood of communism, withdrew from the war.

The interwar period was very fruitful for Vinlutia, the country developed very economically. Unfortunately, in 1940, just after the annexation of the Baltic States by the USSR, this empire put an ultimatum to "Blue Nation". They ordered Vinlutia to join their ranks to form Vinlutese SSR there. The authorities did not agree, so the Soviets declared war. Despite the brave attitude of the Vinluts, who defended themselves to the last drop of blood, the Red Army occupied the entire territory of the country. Finally, on November 1, 1940, Vinlutese SSR was established in the former state.

Since then, political terror and repression have become commonplace, and freedom of speech has been virtually absent. Vinluts have always wanted to break free from this bondage. However, in early 1987, the Red Army suppressed a demonstration in which about 50,000 people participated. They demanded the extension of the autonomy of the VSSR. The Soviet Army murdered about 10,000 people and wounded about 15,000. Vinluts knew that this was an exaggeration. The next day (i.e. February 3, 1987), people, learning about yesterday's events, without thinking, took up arms and began to shoot at the nearby Soviet tanks. Then the Vinlutese revolution broke out, in which almost 3 million Vinluts took part. The insurgents captured almost the entire VSSR area in a few hours. The stunned Soviets signed the act of surrender the same day. It all lasted less than 7 hours (from 9.00 to 15.45). In one day Vinlutia was reborn.
