History
Molanda's history began about 1750 in Italy, a couple miles south of Rome a small village by the name of Marinda and would be considered part of Marino about half a kilometer south of Marino. Angered at being shunned by most of the current population Randal Vestspuchi moved here and named hid farm Marinda after his beloved grandmother who he spent much of his childhood with. By 1800 Marinda had grown to a very successful farm, and Randal's grandson Lander Vestspuchi reaped the benefits and was making the equal to 700 diners (Molanda's current currency) a month. By 1810 it was making 850 diners that with taxes and other costs subtracted, a month and about 64 people lived on the farm, 28 of which were in the Vestspuchi family the other 36 were slaves. When Marino joined Italy in 1870 the now small town of Marinda realized they couldn't stay here, they migrated to modern day Israel and stayed here for about 80 years until they realized once again they can't stay here so the entire population of Marinda (about 790) went on multiple boats and travelled to peru, of course they didn't go through the panama canal they went under cape horn but crashed on there current location, an island north of Antartica, much of the population didn't make it the first two years so they were reduced to 247 people, a new leader arised who's name was Molanda, he put them back on track, and the population loved him so much they decided to name the country after him, thus the name Molanda. It was now 1959, another man came and gained a lot of support, his name is unknown, after he became the ruler he captured the entire land and turned it into a totalitarianism, he forced all of the population to call him the "RageMonger" and the country remained like this until 2001 when a large rebellion ended that and they became a democracy.
