Templuria allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers.

Creation and Independence
The nation of Greece was in a dire civil war and was plagued by harsh genocide. The old capital of Athens was no longer safe from the internal combat and strife of the country, so many citizens left. They founded a town that would keep them protected, New Athens. Many people sought refuge in the city. Life in New Athens was hard, but much safer than living in older parts of the nation.

New Athens became so successful that the Greek government forced heavy taxes on the growing city to fuel it's military. The city paid for many years, but eventually the people got weary of it's burden.

The city refused to pay any more taxes or tariffs to the Greek government. Greece sent a small military force south to forcibly collect the funds. However New Athens had gathered up a local militia and kept the invading troops at bay.

The Greek president at the time, Harmon Alegrio, did not wish to waste his troops on one small town when he was fighting his own battles, so he recalled his troops back to the front lines of the civil war and assumed that after he had resolved the war, he could easily retake New Athens. But he was wrong.

Many heard of the city's resistance and it gave hope to countless people. Migrants from all over Greece journeyed to New Athens for it's safety and glory. Eventually the rebel forces in the civil war, the Greek Freedom and Liberation Army or GFLA, found shelter in the city and used it as a main base.

At last, President Alegrio was assassinated and the civil war ended. The GFLA took hold of the government and, due to their service, granted New Athens it's independence.

Establishment
The citizens of New Athens carried out a poll on how they though the government should be run. The majority of voters suggested a democratic republic. Over a year the goverment was set up, eventually creating the Republic of New Athens. on November 11, 2006. On that very day, the first presidential election was held.

Magnum T. Gundraw, a former general of the GFLA, was elected as the first president. His first act was to create a document to set the basic laws, principles, and rules of the city-state. This document would come to be known as The Constitution of Templuria later on. He revolutionized the buisness and government in New Athens along with establishing a real military, expanding borders, and increasing infrastracture.

The buisnesses and infrastracture in the city were doing quite well, but president Magnum considered that they could work much better. He slightly altered the financial system and changed the nation to capitalism. From then on, the country was know as The Capitalistic Republic of Templuria. The name Templuria was created from Magnum's middle name, Templur.

During the reign of Magnum's son, Colt Gundraw, another poll was taken, this time over what the national religion religion should be. With a 72.8% turnout, Islam became the official religion of Templuria.

The Mojäkka Conflict Ends
Templuria troops finally move out of Mojäkka after crushing the old regime. The nation has been severely damaged after 15 days of attacks from Templuria and other NPO nations and is not likely to recover any time soon.

Teslovocian War
The Templurian invasion of Teslovocia is a success and many operations have brought the once proud country to it's knees. Daily airstrikes destroy multiple military installations.

Container Ship Crash


A foreign ship carring valuable items onboard crashed on the Templurian shore recently. The items were returned to the proper country and Templuria recieved a large reward. The government has donated the money to local charities and hospitals.

Tax Drop
The tax rate has been lowered from 21% to 16%. This event, when combined with the recent ship crash, is causing much celebration amongst the people. Happiness is at an all-time-high and our first Madame President is likely to be re-elected.

Terrorist Attack in New Athens


An attempted terrorist attack was thwarted by the Templurian armed police when they killed an armed terrorist in the capital of New Athens. The man had planned to destroy a local subway with an RPG. No other casulties were caused.

The Templurian Armed Police issued a statement detailing all the facts and thanking several members of the organization with a large sum of money, donated by the government.

First Long-Range Cruise Missile Tested
A newly developed cruise missile has been tested by Templuria recently. The new design, the 'LRCM (Long-Range Cruise Missile) Javelin', has a range of 621 miles or 1000 kilometers. Currently none have been armed and incorporated into the armed forces as the testing is still underway.



Development of the missile was strongly protested by the international community, though strongly encouraged by the New Pacific Order. The nation of Greece is strongly opposed to increasing the missile capabilities of Templuria.

The Clocktower Skirmish
Rebels of the Greek Revivalist Army (GRA), funded by the New Greek Royal Guard, attacked Sanctum in armed APCs only to be slaughtered by Templurian tanks. Five civilian casulties and many injuries have been reported.

Bombings on NGRG Targets
Templurian bombers led multiple bombing strikes on New Greek Royal Guard targets. Increased tension between the organization and Templuria may begin a full on war with NGRG controlled Greece.

New Athens
Full Article: New Athens

New Athens is the largest city (by population and size) and capital of Templuria. It is the birthplace of many Templurian presidents. It is the national center of business, finance, fashion, medicine, entertainment, media and culture in Templuria and is recognized around the world for it's fantastic monuments, historical landmarks, and clean environment.

Sanctum


The second largest city in Templuria is Sactum. The city is most famous for it's nightlife, it having many nightclubs, hotels, and resorts. It is also known for it's many beer breweries, which make beer from imported ingredients. The breweries ship beer all around the country.

The crime rate in Sactum is somewhat high due to a long lasting gang rivalry between The Hellens and The Supremacists, a gang formerly paid by the Templurian military to attack New Artemis. Street violence in the area is slowly decreasing due to improved funding to police factions.

Trade Agreements
Templuria's main exports are cattle and pigs. Templuria recieves water and gold from The Red, aluminum and spices from Aerabus, and marble and sugar from Mugland. Templuria also imports wheat and lumber from Deutschlanden.

Foreign Relations
Through it's existance, Templuria has interacted with many nations. Some relations are much more stable than others.

The NPO
Templuria is a proud member of NPO and mantains a stable relationship with the alliance. Templuria has waged many wars in the name of NPO and plans to continue to do so. Templuria keeps itself within strict orders and decrees of NPO guidelines.

Mediterranea of Oceanica

 * (Not to be confused with Bisso of Oceanica, a newer nation)

The First War
Long ago the nation of Oceanica and it's alliance, The Mediterranean League, declared war on Templuria. Their terms were simple, join the League, or be attacked by all the nations in it. Templuria accepted and the war was over without a shot being fired.

Leaving the League (Templurian War of Freedom)


When Templuria finally left the Mediterranean League, it was attacked by Mediterranea, ruler of the alliance. If Templuria won, it would have it's freedom from the League. If Oceanica won, Templuria would forever stay under the rule of The Mediterranean League. This started the Templurian Freedom War. After a long and bloody struggle, Templuria pulled out a slim victory with the nation of Oceanica admitting defeat. Other members of the Mediterranean League never attacked Templuria and instead congratulated the country.

Fade
The nation of Oceanica dissolved after being inactive for fifteen days. This day was forever known in Fading Day to Templuria and it is celebrated as a national holiday.

With the leader of their alliance gone, the member-nations slowly migrated to other alliances. To this day, they thank Templuria for it's help and say they owe it a great deal.

Though both nations have only existed for short times, they have a long history with each other. The majority of this history is violent and full of conflict.

Lord123 of Antarctic city
Unlike Templuria's dealings with New Artemis, the relationship with Antartic City is stable. The two, though in seperate alliances, often aid each other both in war and money.

Support
In many cases, the two countries have attacked the same target, bringing it down much easier. When one nation is devestated by anarchy, they help each other with money. This relationship keeps the two nations close.
