The Great Artztokzsyan Formation
Part 1
August 16, 1368
The Delegates pour into the Grand Chamber, the silence made it able to hear the thousands of protesters outside. They were slowly gaining ground on the riot police. shields alight from molotov cocktails and irritated eyes form tear gas with the Arminskish flag flying in the background. The Prime Minister takes his place on the podium which is centered in the Grand Chamber. It's decorated with fancy curtains and the pillars are unique with advanced carvings on each end. For it was once the Dynasty's.
"What's the current situation on the riots" said the Prime Minister
A delegate cleared his throat, "The police are reaching their capacity, and the military seems too cruel of an option to use."
A rather young delegate called out, "Maybe we shouldn't have," he swallowed, "Maybe we shouldn't have overthrown the King."
"I agree, the people were unhappy then but they're clearly more unhappy now!" Called from across the large room
A wave of agreement flooded the crowed, but some clearly disagreed. The volume started to rise as the congregation became more split and aggressive.
"Are you insane!?" said a voice, "They're only protesting because we gave them the right to!"
"Well they're clearly voicing that they are unhappy with the current government." yelled another
"It's just a bump in the road, we're still suffering from debt form the revolution!" reasoned a delegate
"Well it's a bump indeed!" disagreed a delegate, "And it's clearly one we can't get over!"
Their arguing prevented them from hearing the biplane approaching them. It flew over the ever agitated protesters and the unaware police. It pulled up, only to leave 2 bombs in it's wake. A plum of smoke and fire lay where the Grand Chamber once was. The protesters and police went silent. Only the sound of armored vehicles and tanks are heard.

Premier Georgi Benoran of Artztokzsia had been in Zoran for the past couple of days. He was rather unkown upon the populace being from another continent. He had been paying his respects to the Late President Apenimon Ani'-Wah'. All was going well until one of his Guards burst into his hotel room.
11:00 AM
"Sir, there has been a bombing in the Grand Defense Council Meeting Chamber!" said the soldier, "We need to get you out of here!"
"What!?" said the Premier, gunfire roars in the distance. More guards appear in the doorway. They hastily escort their Premier out of the building.
"Can someone please explain what's happening?" asked Georgi.
"We don't know sir. It seems like a riot." explained the guard, "We're preparing your private jet right now."
12:30 PM
The Premier arrived safely to the airport and the plane took off with no problems. The Premier turns on the in-flight television and switches the channel to the local news channel.

United Parliamentary Socialist Republics of Artztokzsia--AKZ-AZ--.az

The Great United Parliamentary Socialist States of Artztokzsia was birthed from a Glorious War which ended in 1470. It's predecessor, The Socialist State of Artztokzsia, won the fight against the Arminskish and the Monglians with the help of other clans of the Azure region. The nation then fell into turmoil as the current government did not satisfy the needs of the newly Arztokzsyan people. The then current Premier, Malilov Artiskov, was replaced with the current Premier Georgi Benoran in 1476. Georgi Benoran was loved by the people and greatly improved the lives of people by creating Skyline Programme, where cities were built by a certian layout for maximum efficiency and productivity. This was a very risky action that paid off in the end. It created the economic boom that Artztokzsia needed to get out of debt. He also made many democratic reforms which benifited the people the most.
