Sleepswirl, officially the Socialist People's Republic of Sleepswirl, is a small country in eastern Centralia with a population of nearly 30 million people that was founded on January 11, 1997 after the Mint Revolution and the fall of the Sleepswirlian Democratic Republic. Sleepswirl's national anthem, "Our Land of Dreams", is based on "Don't Advance, Night of Pyongyang." Lyrics are unfinished.
The Republic of Mandriva's earliest roots that we know of go back to the mid-1800's with the Kingdom of Relocia, the oldest documented Mandrivan state. The Relocian Kingdom was an absolute monarchy under the K'mári dynasty that encompassed much of modern-day Mandriva, Neocolpea (and it's autonomy Iskovia), the State of Mageia, and the northern part of Rosevelia. The state lasted from 1847 until 1910 when the King at the time, Ćeri II, issued the "Decree on Transforming the Relocian Nation", which laid the framework that eventually lead to the country transforming into the Grand Principality of Mandriva, the 1st iteration to actually use the name. The name is said to have been derived from a mythical folktale of one of the first settlers seeing a penguin (Mandrë in Mandrivan) in the middle of a snowstorm.
