History
Main article: History of Metropotania

Metropotania has evolved, in the course of 700 years, from separate cities into one grand metropolis, surrounded with forests and small touristic towns.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, it was only a commercial route stop, with several influences from Germanic and Hungarian peoples, even Slavic countries. It has evolved to a naturally fortified production center and then a full–on modern city of the day in the next 4 centuries (1500s-1900s). The total of 6 major cities and 27 villages were finally united in 1904.

Metropotania really came up in the world after the communist regime was installed in 1949, by resisting Moscow’s influence and continuing to have its own national identity. By establishing good political and commercial relations with Western countries, including the USA, it compensated for the need of natural resources, the most precious of which was electricity. It separated completely from Moscow in 1984, after a rebellion of the people during the visit of the president Konstantin Chernenko. It then developed its thriving political and economical systems, a successful combination of socialism and capitalism.

In 1954, Metropotania joined the United Nations. It was a member of the Warsaw pact from 1955 and 1966. In 1999, it joined NATO. In 2004, English was proclaimed a second national language after Romanian. In 2006, It was included in the National GDP Top 10.
