Espir



The Communist Dictatorship of Espir (or Espir, for short) was a nation set up by Yuriski for the current roleplay.

History
Not much is known about Espirian life before the dictatorship, as Espir has been through many national crisis since. One included a great fire, which destroyed the Great Archive Building, and 90% of recorded accounts and journals. Luckily, the Supreme Leader of the time, Yuri Zavidvich, kept copies of many important event logs and people's diarys, so a basic understanding of early life was saved. The Espirian Institute of History has state the following:

''Early Espirian life was very different to what it is now. The early Espirians were a Democratic people, who did not know of the words 'Dictator', 'All-Powerful' and 'Martial-Law'. They were a weak people, and used bribery instead of fighting, as they were rich but were cowards. Their shields were coins; their swords were notes. However, with money comes intelligence. They earned at least 100MK every half of a year, and built massive houses for everyone. The poorest people owned 20 acres of land, where as the richest could own up to 200.''

When Erlof the Great took to power, he gained the trust and loyalty of all Espirian citizens. He believed that his country was that grat, he changed his last name to Espir, as a sign of his loyalty to defend his nation and his people. He revolutionized Espir - Healthcare and Education became free. Everyone had a fair share of land, wages and employment. Taxes rose to keep up with the new demand, however so did the people's respect. When Erlof died, everybody was heartbroken. His son - Yukov Espir - was the second most respected man in Espir (After his father, of course) and immediatly took over. The people gained more and more respect for him over the years. People donated more money to the building of the country. People sent gifts to him: One kerb sent all of his possesions, including his house, as a present. Some people would call him a fool. Others would say loyal.

After the great governmential massacre, Espir became an anarchist state. The only surviving members of Espirian civilisation are two diplomats situated in Zharsken, and an Aircraft Carrier accompanied by a Special Forces Regiment, and Anti-Tank, Anti-Ship and Air Superiority squadrons located in the sea of Veiid.

Government and Territory
Espir is, as its official name states, a communist dictatorship, with its current dictator being Yukov Espir. Its capital city, presumably where the dictator lives, is Ozebrov, with cities of major importance being Krislakesh, Norvasha, and Izalamhen. The country itself is located on a long stretch of coast near the Boreas (northern) ice cap, and extending inland a few dozen kilometers. On its western edge, the nation borders a small lake, whose name is unknown as of the writing of this article.
