Visit Scenic Izhitsa!
« on: May 06, 2019, 03:26:03 AM »
You accidentally click on an ad sporting the name of a country you’ve never heard of. It takes you to a website that appears to have been designed with great loving care by someone permanently stuck in the early 2000s. Against your better judgement, you read it.

Top five misconceptions about visiting Izhitsa:

1) It’s dangerous.
While Izhitsa experienced a brief twelve-year civil war, the nation is now secure again under the watchful eyes of the Izhitsa Volunteer Security Force. There’s no need to worry with the fine members of the IVSF keeping you out of harm’s way!

2) It’s undemocratic.
While the provisional government of Izhitsa was not elected, it is currently in the process of establishing free elections in which every citizen can participate without interference. By visiting Izhitsa you indirectly help this to happen by supporting our local economy!

3) There’s no variety.
Izhitsa is a diverse nation accepting of many nations and cultures. In fact, each of the Federated States has their own unique culture, complete with their own distinctive traditions cuisines and dialects. No matter where you go, there’s always something different!

4) There’s no cell service.
While cell towers and other communications networks were severely damaged during the civil war, they have been almost entirely restored through the efforts of the provisional government. No matter where you are in Izhitsa, communication is a breeze!

5) There’s nothing to do there.
From the ancient cities of Vedi, to the scenic landscapes of Shta, to the warm beaches of Kher, Izhitsa has something for every traveller. So why not check out one of several government-approved vacation plans?

You wonder how much copywriters get paid that the Izhitsa Tourism Board. Apparently not enough to care.

Izhitsa recently exited a long civil war between supporters of a democratically elected government and supporters of a fascist paramilitary disappointed in their party's election results. It came as somewhat of a surprise, then, when the civil war was won by the communist Izhitsa Unity Front, which had enjoyed little support beforehand.
Izhitsa was never a very wealthy country, and the civil war has not helped things. However, the IUF, under the leadership of Matviy Karamovo, knows that they can turn things around. Of course, that's assuming they can stay in power. With demands for free and open elections growing, it's uncertain how long they can postpone fulfilling their promise to allow the people to choose their government.
Meanwhile, tensions are still high from the civil war, especially in the state of Yach, which declared independence during the war and seems to miss it dearly. And the IUF aren't convinced that fascist sentiment has disappeared either, a fear made worse by the inability of their security forces to enforce the rule of law in the mountainous state of Shta.
As the provisional government begins to look increasingly permanent, international observers worry that violence might once again break out, reversing any progress made since the war.
