New Kaynistan

Nation Information
New Kaynistan is a medium sized, well developed, and ancient nation at 742 days old with citizens primarily of Jewish ethnicity whose religion is Buddhism. Its technology is first rate and its citizens marvel at the astonishing advancements within their nation. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of New Kaynistan work diligently to produce Gold and Fish as tradable resources for their nation. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of New Kaynistan has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. New Kaynistan 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. New Kaynistan 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. New Kaynistan will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

New Kaynistan has been led by the Supreme Holy Magistrate, Lord Swampy, since the first colonists from the Old Dominion of Kaynistan arrived in January 2006. He has ruled benevolently, justly, and with the full support of his constituents.

Alliance Membership History
New Kaynistan filed for membership in The Legion on February 12, 2006, and was promptly accepted into her proud ranks. There New Kaynistan stayed until shortly before the events of Purplegate, when Lord Swampy, in a surprising act of uncharacteristic unilateralism, withdrew the nation's membership from the Legion in the middle of the night on November 8, 2007.

That same evening, New Kaynistan filed for membership in STA, and was swiftly welcomed into its ranks. Regrettably, New Kaynistan's stay in the hospitable STA was very brief. Due to Lord Swampy's involvement in Purplegate, he and New Kaynistan were to be persecuted to the ends of the earth by NPO and Valhalla. Out of respect for Tygaland and the STA, who had shown Lord Swampy and the people of New Kaynistan much kindness, Lord Swampy withdrew membership from STA only mere hours after being admitted.

Finding two dear friends who were likewise on the run from the dogs of NPO and others, Lord Swampy banded together with Thom Solo of Solostar and Imperial Overlord James I of VL Empire, two fellow former Legion Prime Ministers who were also in exile. A merry troika pulling more combined drama behind them than most full-size alliances tend to accrue, they gave themselves the name Quit Recruiting Me! so as to deter unwary recruiters from their gates. Eventually Thom Solo vanished into the night, never to be heard from again, as Solostar faded into the mists of time. VL Empire attempted one final time to clear his name from the NPO ZI lists dropped from the band in order to distance himself from the other two. His attempts failed, and eventually he too followed Thom Solo into the dark.

Her landscape battle-worn and her people utterly cut off, New Kaynistan remained on her own for some three months. Countless recruiters ignorant to the status of New Kaynistan and her history came by with offers and most were ignored for their own sake, while others were informed of that controversial history. In late January 2008, New Kaynistan filed for membership in NPO, but was rejected. Despite earnest efforts at closure, Lord Swampy was unable to secure peace from noWedge.

And so alone New Kaynistan stands, enjoying solitude and relative quiet, waiting until the political climate of the world is more amicable to Lord Swampy and his nation. At over two years old, the ancient and patient people of New Kaynistan sleep in safety and the solace of their removal from the rest of the world's troubles.
