Independent Movement of Radiological Beavers (IMRB)

## Founding

While the radiological beavers of the CEZ where born with an incredible ability to cooperate it took them a while to form a stable government. In 1948 the "Central beaver comity" was formed by the democratically elected minister of worlds Josiah Bucktooth. Minister Bucktooth was against the globalization of the CBC and vouched for the security of staying isolated in the CEZ. This earned him the distain of many a patriotic beavers and Liam Ericson and his brother Michael formed an insurrectionist movement by the name of "independent movement of radiological beavers" or IMRB for short. In 1962 Josiah Bucktooth was shot by an IMRB-loyalist sniper while on a public press meeting. He later passed away in hospital from his wounds. Liam Ericson's movement had gained a great deal of popularity by this point and he won the election by a land slide, becoming the second minister of worlds and promptly changed the official name of the nation to the name of his movement. After settling some small scale uprisings due to the suspicious nature of his election and his predecessors death, minister Ericson made contact with the outside world for the first time in beaver history. A declaration of independence was sent alongside a list of demands to consul Gordius Müller. After consul Müller's violent response the IMRB declared open rebellion against Kalkstortzka.

## Beaver-Foo fighter alliance

Soon after this minister Ericson was contacted by Harry "The Extra" Rich, leader of the terrorist organization Foo Fighters. Rich suggested an alliance between the Foo Fighters and the IMRB. Ericson saw the great potential of using foreign terrorists to weaken his enemies without the needless spilling of beaver blood. He accepted Rich's offer and immediately started supplying the Foo Fighters with state of the art beaver-made weaponry.

## The beaver insurrection (1965-)

Only days after consul Müller made his unsuccessful strike at the IMRB the beavers started sabotaging republic supply lines. With their technological advantage and few numbers made guerilla tactics incredibly effective for what the beavers wanted to achieve. Starting with the area near the CEZ their success led them to rapidly extend their strikes to most of the western half of the country.

After the clown car bombing of 1998 at the hands of the Foo Fighters, Ericson saw the weakness he had been waiting for over three decades for finally open up. By this point beaver-tech was superior to that of humans and the IMRB used this to launch an all out war on the republic. Continuing to use guerilla tactics and long range artillery strikes to destroy important targets the IMRB is currently crushing any assault by the republic.

## Ideology

### Early isolationist beaverism

In the early days of the beaver society they strongly believed that their only way for survival was to isolate themselves in the radioactive jungle. As the beavers could find everything they needed to survive there, expansion and exploration was harshly frowned upon and the idea of making themselves know to the surrounding nation was unthinkable. The idea of religion never took form among the beavers largely because of their fast development of technology and society, and thus religious themes and thoughts were considered foreign and unwelcome.

### Bucktooth Isolationism

When Josiah Bucktooth rose to power it was largely because of the masses agreeing with his new take in the aging ideology. Minister Bucktooth vouched adamantly for the continued isolationism of the beavers but believed that they had to expand further across the CEZ to make use of all the resources that were unusable to the rest of the world due to the heavy radiation. These new resources launched the then CBC ahead by ways of technology and the beavers entered a golden age.

### New liberal beaverism

Not long after the technological spike after the expansion across the CEZ a new, radically different ideology arose in some parts of beaver society. With the boost in confidence from their new powerful technology and weaponry there were those who believed the beavers had stayed hidden and cowering for too long. These revolutionaries wanted to proclaim CBC independence and use their power to carve out and solidify their place in the world.

### Ericson's beaverism

After Liam Ericson took over power a lot of the ideas from the new liberal beaverism became fact. While these ideologies are mostly the same in ideas the IMRB became much more decisive and quick to action than it's predecessor.
