User:MaxDevo/People's Republic of Francofristan

The People's Republic of Francofristan is a sovereign micronation located east of San Diego, CA.

History
Francofristan was established as a colony of the United States in 1996 after the land was claimed by future Senior Vice Premier Raymond Scott. Between 1997 and 2004, infrastructure was constructed and refurbished on the land. Future Premier Maxwell Major was born in the early years of this construction period.

In 2003, the California Cedar Fire destroyed much of the landscape of Francofristan, burning 85% of the territory.

In July of 2015, Maxwell Major discovered the self-sufficiency of the land. It was practically off the grid and could be lived upon as such. Immediate action was taken, and The People's Republic of Francofristan was established on July 29, 2015.

In August 2015, Francofristan annexed a plot of land 12 miles from its westernmost border.

Government & Politics
Francofristan is a communist state. The government is comprised of the head of state, Premier Maxwell Major, and a body of advisers including General Secretary Robert Plasencia and Senior Vice Premier Raymond Scott.

There are political parties in Francofristan, however, they are unrecognized by the state and have no true power in government.

Ownership of Arms
While it is officially discouraged, a part of the Francofristani population owns firearms.
