Porlos: Difference between revisions

Following the PDF's withdrawal from the Mosquito War, the country began mass reforms in all sectors, which included abolishing mandatory conscription in 1971, along with reducing the military's size by a significant margin, legalizing same-sex marriage in 1972 (the first country in South Crona to do so). The Woqalate also reduced the military budget, and only mobilized troops to the border with Ormatia, where there were multiple instances of border clashes between the two countries. The [[Mountain War]], which lasted from May to August of 1974 saw the mobilization of Ormatian troops, fighting for small strips of land on the border, which Ormatia claimed was rightfully theirs. The increased tensions with [[Asteria]] also brought upon difficulties with the new military policies, as growing Asterian aggression towards Tierrador reflected also on Porlos. Several incidents in 1978 took place in San Ysidro, where the city was placed on high alert numerous times due to the constant threats of missile strikes from the [[Asterian Defense Force|ADF]]. In 1981, Porlos, along with Ceylonia, sent a combined 1,100 troops to the [[Tulangia|Tulangia Commonwealth]] during the [[Cowboy Crisis]] to assist the [[Tierradorian Defense Force|TDF]] in combatting hostile Asterian forces.

The 1980s saw one of the biggest cultural and economic advancements in Porlosi history. Porlosi media became widely consumed across South Crona, and some films, songs, and television series' became household names in Tierrador, Alstin, Ceylonia, and even in [[Zurgite Varshan|Varshan]], where it was illegally smuggled into the country. The country's largest city, Naqili, was the most visited city in South Crona for five straight years in the 1980s, due to its cultural and economic significance. However, the country was severely impacted by the [[1993 Tierradorian financial crisis]], due to a lot of Porlosi investments and funds being tied to Tierradorian economic funds, and the country's use of the [[Ponča]], which depreciated by a significant margin due to the onset of the crisis.

Once the country recovered from the financial crisis, it began to see a sharp rise in economic activity. In 1997, [[Nathan Kuisaalio]] became the first [[Repataahiaka]] Prime Minister since 1961, and began a series of governmental reforms throughout the country. This included reducing the powers of the Woqali, who at the time was newly-coronated [[Furtado I]]. The [[1997–2000 Porlosi reforms]] saw Porlos being shifted to a constitutional monarchy, with the Woqali holding limited power in the day-to-day administration of the country. The administrative divisions of the country were also redrawn, adding three new provinces (qoyyalaatisi) in the southern end of the country, and expanding the Assembly of the Woqalate from 188 members to 206 members. Porlos received large amounts of economic support from Tierrador following the crisis, and began to welcome many Tierradorian-based companies, such as [[Orixtal Telecommunications]], [[Pasco Retail]], [[Summit Petroleum]] (from 2002 to 2013 only), and [[Prontoburger]].

Porlos received international recognition and condemnation following the [[2011 Naqili coast oil spill]], where an oil rig operated by Summit Petroleum suffered a massive wellhead blowout. This was caused by vague safety regulations and the refusal to follow them by Summit Petroleum. Anti-foreign oil protesters began fighting for the expulsion of Summit, along with four other foreign oil-drilling companies from Porlos. In 2013, Summit was banned from Porlos.

In 2027, the ice hockey club [[Naqili Hornets]] became the first non-Tierradorian OHL club to win the [[Watson Cup]], sweeping the [[Tawakee Hurricanes]]. The last club to achieve this feat was the [[Istrenya]]-based [[Karaba Mountaineers]] in 2018.
