History of Jacobstein
Jacobstein is a small, coastal nation that takes up a small portion of what was once mainland China. It found its beginnings in the aftermath of the Revolution, which brought down the oppressive Chinese Dictatorship, which cultivated a high value on Democracy, Free Speech, and Worker Control. Now, thanks to the aid of an American, the tiny nation is a classical Marxist state, moving towards Communism as it rebuilds its country and Economy.
The Fall of China and the Rise of Socialism
China fell due to many problems, but the chief among them was Income Inequality, State Control of the Economy which ended in ruin, and the Nature of Capitalism which is always exploitative. The economic destruction of the People's Republic sparked the Revolution. After years of war, China had become splintered and battle-weary. It separated into other nations, each being divided up among the militias and the People's Republic became a city-state, barely clinging to existence.
In the wake of the Revolution, an American arrived to a tired and sad people, looking for a new way to organize and rebuild their society. The American, whose Name was Jacob Ross, aided in spreading the ideas of Classical Marxism and Direct Democracy with a Free Society. It became instantly popular. Polls were erected, votes counted, and a government formed. Marxism was underway. But, then, tragedy struck. Far away, Washington, D.C. saw the revolution and the hope it brought to its leftists citizens. So, they schemed, and, on August 20th, a single hellfire missile was shot from a drone and into Jacob's house, killing him and his family.
The new nation was devastated. Its leader, reformer, and uniting name had been destroyed and there was no hope of retaliation against the militant superpower. Now, they had to carry on without him and hope that their Marxist experiment would succeed. In honor of him and to keep the citizens on the right path, the country was renamed to Jacobstein and the currency coined the "Rosser."
Now, the people of Jacobstein hopes to reunite China under the Red Banner and finally bring peace to devastated land.
