Nation Information
Vladimir is a tiny, under developed, and new nation at 2 days old with citizens primarily of Russian ethnicity who follow no religion. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Vladimir work diligently to produce Coal and Silver as tradable resources for their nation. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Vladimir has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Vladimir does not allow any form of government protests. Its armed police forces work quickly at "dissolving" any and all government protests. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Vladimir detains individuals who participate in the slanderous comments about the government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Vladimir will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

History
The Communists of the Vladimir Oblast had been pushing independence just prior to the Revolution. On October 10, 2007, at approx. 6:00 P.M., the Communist Party and the Vladimir Soviet, under the leadership of Sergei Ivanov, declared a state of Revolution. The Russian Federation failed to react, but the Vladimir Oblast granted the Revolutionary government a small grant of about a mile of land within the interior of the city for an independent republic. Since then, Vladimir has bought several more miles of land from the Oblast. The Revolutionary government continues to exist, and when Vladimir has acquired more land, infrastructure and military, then it will declare itself a Communist state. Until then, it is a Revolutionary government.
