| - The great banking nation of Kanosia is a growing, developing, and aging nation at 515 days old with citizens primarily of Celtic ethnicity whose religion is Buddhism. Its technology is advancing rapidly. Its citizens enjoy a wealth of technology within their nation. Its citizens pay high taxes and constantly express grievances about their government and work environments. The citizens of Kanosia work diligently to produce Oil and Gems as tradable resources for their nation. The government has no definite position on foreign affairs at this time. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Kanosia has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Kanosia allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Kanosia 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. Kanosia will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens. The above information is correct as of - 15/01/08 The land now known as Kanosia was originally ruled by a series of Celtic tribes, who constantly warred with each other for military supremacy. In 1432 the High Chieftan Finian MacDonagh MacCarthaigh took rule of the lands and formed the Kingdom Of Hyrule. The Kingdom became a cultural and educational centre for a long period of time. It was renowned for it's high arts - stonecrafts and sculpting, gem-work as well as original architecture and unique design. In 1636 a series of banks took control of the Kingdom and imposed a High Chancellor, a descendant of the former royal family, who were, after a time, exonerated. High taxes were imposed on the citizens and all trade goods for a number of years when the new government took control. In 1764 Sir Arther McCuraith discovered the changes in the desert nearing Kanosia's borders. He discovered that the desert was increasing 1/4 of a mile annually. In 1774 Kanosia, as well as the neighbouring nation of Ossetia, constructed a grand wall between the two nations, not for military or isolationist purposes, but as a practical stopgap against the desert's encroachment into Kanosia's rivers and valuable agricultural areas which supplied the needs of both countries at the time. The wall itself was designed to be a symbol of man's ability to create and design. It is roughly 200 miles long, seventy feet high and consists of large red and blue gems every 1/4 mile to symbolise both nations. In 1836 the City of Fordaia, mostly known for being a centre of exploration gained high fame for its launch of an air ship. It consisted of a hugely modified clipper ship with large hydrogen air bags to keep it afloat. Three of these ships were launched from the city because of its history of exploration and expeditions into the unknown regions of the world. Two were sent out to sea and one into the nearing Ossetian desert. All three ships were lost, two however were discovered a number of years later. The BSA Hill was discovered in 1926 by Ossetian traders who found it nearly submerged into the sand with skeletal remains surrounding the area. The BSA Victoria was found on an island two hundred miles off the Antarctic coast in 1987. The ship was fully intact, but its airbag seemed to have disappeared. The crew of the ship were, to the shock of the discoverers, still fully intact, with their frozen corpses dotted all around the ship. The third ship, the BSA MacArthy, was never found. Rumours however emerged that the ship was seen by natives in the central regions of Africa. In the early 1900s, vast reserves of oil were found on Kanosian territory, and this fuelled a massive economic boom. This, in conjunction with the precious metals industry that the country had been relying on as a chief export dating back to the Hyrule Kingdom, saw Kanosia through many tough times, during war and other difficult economic downturns. Today oil and gems are still the main exports, with imports ranging from gold, lead, silver and spices, among others. The banking alliances have tight control over the country's economy, with high quality industries producing steel, jewellry and computer chips.
