= Economy =

Kristonion has a planned economy. The citizens enjoy an extremely good education and health-care system. The taxes in Kristonion, though, are very high, but it hasn't effected anything or one that much. Most of the country's money is spent on infrastructure(during peacetime), though when in war the money mainly goes to the military. When it is peacetime, besides infrastructure, some money goes to technology a smaller amount goes to land purchase, and a even smaller amount goes to the military. On January 18 during the rebuilding of Kristonion, the nation's first school was built. The construction of this building helped increase the nations income for taxes, and more money from taxes meant quicker rebuilding.

Wars
Kristonion, since it's creation has been in no major wars. Though it had many battles in three small wars. In the first war, Kristonion had been victim to a surprise attack and the country was knocked into Anarchy and a national draft. Even with those problems, Kristonion still won the war, after they had received financial aid from CDS. The second war was a quick war, in which Kristonion faced none of the problems they faced in the first. On January 1, 2007, Kristonion declared war on a CDS "Shoot-on-Sight" nation, Keesland. After four days of fighting the destroyed nation of Keesland and the untouched Kristonion declared peace. Some Kristonons called the conflict the New Years' War.

Involvement in the Second Great War
On January 11, 2007, Kristonion officially entered The League vs. The Initiative war by declaring war on Midtown. The CDS had been at war with the GOONS since earlier that day. The next day, Kristonion declared war on Mechadonia. Another nation, Eporedia, was attacked by Kristonion on Jan. 13. On the morning of Jan. 14, the nation of Eporedia, suddenly rebuilt over a thousand troops and attacked Kristonion. Also two cruise missile attacks were launched on Kristonion. Luckily, even after two attacks, Kristonion was not sent into anarchy, and was able to rebuild defenses. Though, on the next day around 12PM, Eporedia attacked again, this time destroying the whole army and putting Kristonion into anarchy. This attacked caused extreme anger within the government due to the fact that the CDS and GOONS were under a cease fire. During the evening of Jan. 15 Eporedia and Kristonion decided to declare peace, and the peace declaration was signed on the morning of Jan. 16. On January 17 the Great War ended and peace was declared with Midtown and Mechadonia.
