Forces of the Norglobe Faction, a Chastenkean-funded and trained militia insurgency surrendered today to the Nastralian Liberation Front (NLF) at the newly-established settlement of Pazze in Central Marshland on the northbank of the Cherry.
Colonel Dav'd Cournya accepted the documents of Unconditional Surrender as Commander-in-Chief and President-Elect General Clovis announced to the people the glorious end to the War and the commencement of the Republic of Nastralia. Henceforth, this day would be known as Nastralian Independence Day.
Celebrations were witnessed the world over as this long awaited development signaled what should prove to be new age for our planet and the beginning of what promises to be an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity for our people, finally, after many millennia,united as one under one government, one law, one ruler!
All Hail Nastralia!
Four years after this announcement, the globe-straddling republic was formed into a hereditary monarchy and a year after that, the de facto "benevolent and enlightened" dictatorship under the Riothamus Clovis of the Nastralian Empire.
For nearly two decades the people lived in what the propoganda called "harmony", but was actually more akin to a unique form of passive, yet pervasive, silent oppression.
After a Phyrric hostile takeover of the distant planets of Hevra and Hezra, economic difficulties in maintaining these far-flung colonies as well as political pressure and influence from the powerful Epilliarian Arm Council the people of Nastralia exiled the Riothamus to his own extravagantly expensive Space Station NASTAR in 1997. But after the escape of the Riothamus and his attempted reassertion of power in 2001, the people voted to permanently banish Clovis to the Blue Planet, with no means of return.
So, on the backward and barbarian Earth, the former ruler struggles to find gainful means of survival without exposing to the Earthlings his true origin. For, if his true identity were attempted to be disclosed, equipped with no shred of proof, he would surely be deemed unfit for even their primitive society and incarcerated, perhaps forever, as a lunatic.
