Silberwlfean

Silberwlfean is a tiny, under developed, and new nation at 2 days old with citizens primarily of German ethnicity whose religion is Judaism. 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 Silberwlfean work diligently to produce Sugar and Lead as tradable resources for their nation. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. When it comes to nuclear weapons Silberwlfean will not research or develop nuclear weapons. Plans are on the way within Silberwlfean to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Silberwlfean allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Silberwlfean believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Silberwlfean will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

The Revolution

 * The nation was created after the overthrowing of the Kaiser on June 4, 1896. In November of 1834, a group of people in Munich, Germany had had enough of the poverty of the then German Empire. They formed the German Freedoms Guild. At first, it was a small group of people. Although, the news of freedom had soon reached the ears of many within the Empire. It soon became a political party in it's own right. The Kaiser of Germany saw this as a threat to the monarchy, and declared any who followed this party would be executed. After this declaration, many were slaughtered and killed. Although, despite the monarchy's best efforts, the people prevailed. It was during a peaceful rally at the Brandenburg Gate at Berlin, where many German troops fired into the crowd. After this event, the people revolted. Followers of the GFG took arms against the monarchy. A bloody civil war soon erupted, lasting sixty-two years. In the end, the monarchy couldn't defeat the huge numbers of rebels. Then, the Kaiser finally abdicated the throne, and gave full power to the people. Two years after, on June 4,1896, the people accepted a constitution. Thus creating the new nation. The rebuilding period could finally begin.

The Rebuilding Period

 * The rebuilding period is considered by many historians to have lasted six years. It was during this time that the new nation of Heimitlandia, meaning 'Home Land' in their native language, repaired broken cities and towns, forged new alliances, and got the nation on the map. The nation was first recognized during this period by the United States of America. It was also during this period when the Immigration Boom began. Multitudes of people from all over the world came to the new nation with the hope of freedom in the Old World. Most of the immigration came from Great Britain and the U.S. It was because of this, that the new government adopted English as it's second official language, next to German. The rebuilding period is often thought to have ended after the completion of the new capitol, Ileira. Ileira was built 1000 feet under ground to protect it from any possible foreign invasion. Today, the city is a thriving metropolis underground. It is often stated as an engineering masterpiece.
