Kzoppistan

Kzoppistan is a medium sized, somewhat developed, and aging nation at 407 days old with citizens primarily of Persian ethnicity whose religion is Voodoo. The citizens of Kzoppistan work diligently to produce Coal and Wine as tradable resources for their nation. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. Kzoppistan 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. Kzoppistan 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. Kzoppistan will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

Mr. Otingocni is the leader of Kzoppistan who's goal is to develop his people into a powerful force on Planet Bob and assist his allies and friends.

The Journey Begins, Early History:
After Kzoppistan was established on 8/2/2008 and Mr. Otingocni picked for leadership, the nation embarked on a quest for empowerment and collective self-fulfillment. As is the fate of many isolationist nations, after 3 1/2 months of steady growth, they began to attract the attention of bandits and raiders, cowards who were looking to steal and pillage for their own gain instead of working for it like honest folk. Loosely organized as a "nation" these thugs enjoyed the protection of the alliance United Purple Nations. Enraged by this brazen attack on their soil and theft of their toils of labor, the people of Kzoppistan plotted their revenge- no mere raider would attack this group of devoted citizens without incurring their wrath. Jihad was declared. As if a sign from the gods themselves, a mysterious stranger gifted millions of dollars on the nation of Kzoppistan on Christmas day.

The soldiers of Kzoppistan, eager for the taste of bloody vengeance, crept into position, waiting stealthily until their aggressor was engaged in other raids and the trap was sprung. While Mr. Otingocni attempted to rally the other victims of these ruffians through his pen, his generals pushed full force into foreign lands. Several days later, as both nations' capitals burned and people rioted in anarchy, even after receiving aid from their cabal, the bandits were in full route. Victory was in sight.

It was at this point that the Minister of Defense for the UPN, Magister Agricolarum, intervened to negotiated a resolution. Even after warnings of possible attacks by other nations in league with these raiders, Mr. Otingocni refused to offer peace until satisfaction for his people was addressed, going so far as to proclaim eternal guerrilla warfare on the offender. Thankfully, under the cooling application of reasoned discourse with the patient Minister, peace was had. Under his advice, the people of Kzoppistan persuaded their leader to find protection with like minded nations. It was then that the nation of Kzoppistan sought application into the esteemed halls of Zenith.

Tattered Shoes: A long road
After learning the ways of Zenith and receiving instruction on the finer arts of national administration, Mr. Otingocni believed it was time to give back to the institution that assisted his people so much. Starting as a diplomat, Mr. Otingocni labored in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, learning the vagaries international diplomacy. Soon he was elevated to deputy.
