It was a dark and stormy night in the year 500 BCE. The great and powerful Zorgon, ruler of the land of Blerg, stood atop the tallest mountain, gazing out upon the vast expanse of the unknown. He beheld the people of Blerg, toiling away in their tiny villages, and knew that something was amiss.
For too long, the people of Blerg had been subject to the whims of the evil Empire of Pong, who taxed their chickens and their cheese. Zorgon knew that he must act, and so he did.
He gathered his most trusted advisors, a motley crew of warriors, wizards, and accountants, and set forth a plan to free the people of Blerg from the grasp of Pong.
And so, with a mighty roar, Zorgon led the people of Blerg into the Great Blergian Revolution. The people marched forth, their banners waving, their swords shining, and their calculators at the ready.
The Empire of Pong, taken by surprise, was quickly vanquished, and the people of Blerg were free at last. Zorgon, hailed as a hero, was crowned the first President of the Republic of Blerg, and the rest, as they say, is history.
But wait, there's more! Read on for the thrilling tale of our Republic's first 100 years, filled with drama, intrigue, and more than a few exploding chickens.
