A Brief History of Rromanistan and Breaking News as told by a the Rromanistan Tribune's Chief Correspondent, Mister Olav Cooper.
The Republic of Rromanistan was form in 1945 by a number of freed gypsies. While the Rromani people may have formed a nation-state, they use it for little more than the annual camping grounds, trade, and production. While there are over 10 million citizens, only 1000 people live in Rromanistan fulltime. Their current leader, Nikolai Feheroka, is the son of the first Rom Baro (President) or Rromanistan. He was elected with 97% of the vote in 1982, beating his half-brother by 3% of the vote. The people of Rromanistan are generally happy with their Rom Baro, and have continued to elect him in the quad-annual elections. His main opponent is the aforementioned half-brother, Boris Mustlasburg, who views the role of Rom Baro as more a King and less a President.
On September 25, 2010 the Presidential Palace was stormed by the Revolutionary Militia. The Presidential Family was captured and is currently being held in captivity on charges of High Treason. On September 26 the Kris (parliament) cast their vote for a new Government. The Kris is has suggested a Constitutional Monarchy be set up with by the President’s half-brother, Boris Mustlasburg, at it’s head. The Palace announced that Mustlasburg will accept any decision made by the Kris, and is honoured that his name be considered for leading the Nation. Mustlasburg himself could not be reached for further comment. It is expected that the Palace and Kris will be making further announcements in the coming days. Until then, the Nation waits with bated breath.
