Emberwood Coast: Difference between revisions

Line 83:
A relatively young nation, Emberwood Coast has been around for only 40 years. The nation is a breakaway territory of [[Norograd]] (which itself was a breakaway from the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]]) since the outbreak of the [[The Auroran Imperial War| Auroran Imperial War]]. As tensions grew and war raged on, the citizens of the coast could no longer allow themselves to add to the fight.
 
As the bloody fight for independence was foughtbeing waged on the outskirts of the administrative region, numerous rock songs spurred the coastal population to action. Among them was [["This Free Land"]], which eventually was adopted as the national anthem. In April of 1970, rebel leaders became signatory to the Norogradian secession, but dropped out of the treatise in 1971, after whispers surfaced on the possible use of nuclear weaponry to end the conflict. Out of this fight rose a democratic government; [[Chance Syng]] was elected president on January 9th, 1972 SD. This officially began the existence of Emberwood Coast as a sovereign nation.
 
Its lotus flag owes its symbol to a Morst loyalist, who is famously filmed shouting, "Let this land of sin rot with the cancers of its own vices!" When asked about the choice to include the flower, Shadow President Liesyour explained, "The lotus has long been a symbol of corruption and degeneracy; the same stigma awarded to those of minor races, genders, and sexualities. We are reclaiming this emblem, and in doing so our own identities, for liberty and freedom."
