[edit] Leadership

Beardo is led by Bartimaeus46, and has been since it's creation by a volcanic eruption under the North sea.

[edit] Creation

The powerful underwater volcano that erupted in the North Sea on February 5th 2009 created a new island off the coast of mainland Europe. The eruption, about 400 miles north of the French capital, Paris, began shooting rocks, steam and ash thousands of feet into the air.

The world's leading geologists beleive that the volcano had two vents, one on a small uninhabited island and another about 100 metres (330ft) offshore. Rock and ash spewing from the sea have filled the gap between the two vents, creating a new land mass measuring approximately 100,000 square miles.

Spectacular columns of smoke and ash were still spewing from the sea days later, but winds blew gas and steam away from the mainland and nearby coastal villages were not affected. Around 36 undersea volcanoes are clustered in the surrounding area.

Radio journalist George Lavaka, who visited the island with a sightseeing group, said the explosions were accompanied by a deep rumbling. "We were close to the island and there was huge explosion and the smoke was coming toward us, and people were yelling 'start the boat, start the boat'," he said. "The smoke stopped 30 metres short of the boat. We were a bit shaken actually."

[edit] Nation Information

Beardo is a growing, developing, and maturing nation at 46 days old with citizens primarily of Caucasian ethnicity whose religion is Islam. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Beardo work diligently to produce Aluminum and Silver as tradable resources for their nation. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Beardo has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Beardo allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. Its borders are closed to all forms of immigration. Beardo believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Beardo will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.
