Freeland

Freeland, officially the People's Republic of Freeland, is a coastal country. Located near the Equator, Inzuland is bordered by Pethany. It is full of villages navigable by hundreds of kilometres of ever-eroding dirt tracks, giving it the soubriquet "land of shifting roads", with its geography dominated by tropics, and savanna with numerous mountains throughout the country. The climate is temperate to tropical, with two rainy seasons and two dry seasons each year. Inzuland has a population of over 21.6 million, with 3.1 million residing in Austinville, its largest city. 240,000 people live in the capital city Mbezi, home to the only international airport in the country apart from its military base in the east.

History
Freeland (Then Inzuland) was founded on the spiritual mountain of Inzumukuru. A tribe was said to live on the mountain for thousands of years for its view, but eventually they decided to officially become a kingdom and enter into diplomatic relations with Unland.

Eventually, Mbezi was settled and in ancient times it was known as the drinking capital of the world. Mbezi was surrounded by wineries and was home to flavored strawberry waters. Merchants rushed to Inzuland with carts to load with strawberry waters that they could trade in Unland.

In 1704, colonists from The Empire assassinated the king of Inzuland and occupied the original land of Inzuland, as well as a significant chunk of land to the south that comprised of the coastline as well as the Savannah along the Mally River. After the fall of the Kingdom, Inzuland (Dubbed 'Inzu Empirical Territory' or 'Isum Territorium empiricum') became a puppet of The Empire. A port was constructed in Austinville, featuring a boat ramp. In 1874, construction on the trans-inzu railway was completed. This railway was used to transport goods to the port in Austinville, from slave laborers, farms & mines in the country's north. In June of 1942, the Militia of the Kingdom, fighting on behalf of the royal family, started a rebellion justified by centuries of oppression.

In 1943, Inzuland gained independence from the empire after years of protest and rebellion. Control of the entire empire was handed to the Inzu people, who had traditionally lived in Mbezi. The Inzu people had control over land that also included that of other neighbouring tribes, such as the Mally Mountain Tribe.

Economic Boom

In 1945, Inzuland formally became Freeland, to acknowledge the fact that the land was shared. The Inzu population at the time was around 652,000 while there was a remaining 2,300,000 white settlers in the area. Inzuland's vision was to become a multicultrual land built by the people. The country has been planned and built by locals. While major highways were constructed by the Freeland government in the year 2000, most settlements have formed by settlers who have made the land 'their own' according to the migration campaign by Freeland. The country transformed from a poor country to a developed country at a rapid rate. In the 1980's many foreigners explored the area and constructed their own mansions, farming on the public lands. Building in Freeland requires no council approval apart from within Mbezi's limits. Freeland was also made a tax-haven in 1976, triggering mass migrations.
