The Melorian Republic

## Overview

The Workers' State of Melorian Republic is a massive, safe nation, ruled
 by Adrik Ivanov with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings,
 irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The
compassionate, democratic population of the Melorian Republic
hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy
and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of
Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state
in the capital city of Rostov. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Melorian Republician economy is driven entirely by a combination
of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.
 The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the
Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing,
Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is impressive and distributed extremely evenly,
with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

## History

The lands now known as the Melorian Republic were settled as early as
450 CE. The area remained Ungoverned until 600 CE, when King Julius I
united the lands into the Julian League. The League was defeated in a
military campaign by the Hasteans in 720 CE under King Julian III. A
period of lawlessness followed until 1000 CE, when King Melor I brought
the lands back to order. His rule brought with it a period of peace and
prosperity, and his name remains as the national name today. Kings Melor
 II, III, and IV continued this peace until King Cyrus took the throne
in 1300 CE. He was killed in battle and the land was occupied by Francs
until 1450CE. Until 1920, the land was divided into regions controlled
by warlords. In 1921, the warlord Vladimir IX unified the lands into the
 Melorian Federation and established a republic. However, the working
class was dissatisfied and staged a revolution in 1945, the April
Revolution. They established a Workers' State under the name Melorian
Republic. The capital city was renamed from Julius to Rostov. Party
Secretaries included Boris Yonkovich(1945-1970), Walter
Orlov(1970-1985), and Seamus Finney(1985-2000). In 2000, Vladimir
Medvedev became Party Secretary and has since guided the nation closer
to true and total communism. After a train derailment, Mr. Medvedev
contracted the flu and passed away. Adrik Ivanov is the current Party
Secretary.
