Little | Little is known about Stenza's early history, with most of the country being governed by independent tribes until [[Corumm]] discovered and colonized the island in 1742. The following colonial era saw Stenzan society develop from its tribal roots into a more modern puppet state, ending in a brief period of semi-self governance during the early 20th century. A bloody [[war]] between Stenzan freedom fighters and the Corumm-aligned government followed between 1919 and 1921, resulting in [[A Corummese retreat from the Island.]] An internal [[struggle for power]] followed Stenzan Independence, ending with the rise to power of the [[Stenzan People's Party]]. The party had total control over the nation from 1922 until late 2019, with the country being largely isolated from the rest of the world. This changed when the [[Stenzan revolution]] removed the Party from power and paved the way for the Republic to form. | ||

His Vice-President is Major General (ret.) [[Filemu Lung]], a career intelligence officer who played a vital role in orchestrating the Stenzan revolution.

Although historically weak economically, Stenza is currently enjoying an economic boom after opening up to new foreign markets. Both the export of Stenzan metals and the birth of a tourism industry have helped develop Stenza's economy in recent times. Although politically oppressive until recently, Stenza has a history of being socially progressive. Stenza has a high degree of gender equality, with women being fully integrated into fields such as the military. Certain soft drugs are legal and freely available in Stenza, although buyers need a bi-monthly approval from a licensed physician to avoid addiction. | |||
