Early History
Cinzenatia was founded by Tathaxas, leader of a Persian horde, previously hailing from Prince Edward Island, Canada. These people were driven out of the area by the Prince Edward Isle government and eventually settled in Cincinatti, Ohio.

The Juggler Revolution
The men under Tathaxas snuck into the Cincinnati City Hall while pretending to be a band of street preformers. Once inside, they decapitated the mayor and took control of the city's police forces and town council.

Modern Cinzenatia
Two days after the Juggler Revolution, king Tathaxas died of goat-cheese poisoning. His son, Sheik Artathaxas took his position on the throne and declared the government a Dictatorship. After a series of riots, Artathaxas pronounced the government as Transitional. Cinzenatia initially started at City Hall and expanded out from there; ingulfing areas of the city and suburbs, pushing into Covington, Kentucky.
