Perestroika

Perestroika is a country located 55 miles off the east coast of the United States.

Geography
Perestroika is an island country divided into 20 states and a federal district called Vladivostok. There is also a prison island off the southwest coast of the country called the Hades Prison Complex.

Before 1941
Until 1806, the island of Perestroika was uninhabited. In 1806, during the first Russian Circumnavigation, the island of Perestroika was founded.

Initially a city-state called Vladivostok was formed. Throughout the 19th Century, the Imperial Russian government expanded Perestroika to span the entire west and northern coasts of the country.

In 1917-1918, Bolsheviks seized power from the Imperial Russian government, later forming the Russian SFSR, better known as the Soviet Union. As a result, Perestroika fell under socialist rule, led by Nikolai Glebov.

In 1922, a gulag was built on an island off the coast of Perestroika to house political dissidents. During Premier Glebov's rule, as many as 2 million people were exiled to the prison camp between 1922-1945.

Under Glebov's leadership, the government launched a command economy, industrialization of the country through expanding into the interior of the island, and collectivization of all agriculture.

World War II and U.S. Colonization (1941-1949)
Perestroika was expelled from the USSR in 1937 (being one of two countries in history to gain independence against its will, the other being Singapore), due to being too far away from mainland Russia.

In December 8, 1941, Perestroika, at this point allied with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, invaded New York City, a day after the attack or Pearl Harbour, prompting the United States to enter into war with the Axis Powers.

After the end of World War II in 1945, the United States seized the island of Perestroika and liberated the imprisoned dissidents and granted them U.S. citizenship. In 1949, former Russian prisoners and United States senators met in Vladivostok to bring the nation into conformity with U.S. customs and government.

Contemporary History (1950-present)
On February 10, 1950, the island of Perestroika became a U.S. territory. In the 1950 general elections, Roman Rascalov and Yuri Bodoni were elected as the first President and Vice President of Perestroika. The Perestroika Constitution, heavily based off the United States Constitution, was passed on February 15, 1950.

As part of the Perestroikan Constitution, ten states were ratified on February 15, 1950, which included Moscow, Odin, New Valhalla, Shenron, Ragnarok, Vesilahti, Seraphina, Vanderbilt, Galileo, and Queensmont. The city of Vladivostok was designated as the nation's capital.

The first two American retailers opened stores on February 15, 1950. They included a Sears department store and an A&P Food Market in Downtown Tunguska in Moscow.

Throughout the 1950s, ten more states were ratified, which include New Amsterdam (ratified on August 25, 1952), New Rotterdam (ratified on May 3, 1953), Newfoundland (ratified on January 11, 1955), Labrador (ratified on July 18, 1956), Kashmir (ratified on April 14, 1957), Casablanca (ratified on November 17, 1957), Hudson (ratified on May 23, 1958), Granada (ratified on June 17, 1958), Sinamoi (ratified on August 4, 1958), and New Cambria (ratified on June 21, 1959).

The first fast-food restaurant opened in 1956, an Insta-Burger King (now Burger King) in Gothard, New Rotterdam.

Since the 1950s, Perestroika has experienced sustained economic growth and an expansion of the middle class.
