Etymology
The suburb of Jerrabomberra gets its name from the Aboriginal term meaning 'boy frightened by storm'.
History
The P.R.J. was founded by F.S.D. and L.Z.B. in May 2023. They claimed areas of Jerrabomberra Public School until June, when the Kingdom of Snozzwanglia joined them fully through the Snozzwanglian Coup on 19 June 2023. Then they claimed all of Jerrabomberra and eventually Googong. Googong was renamed Jooraabistan (Persian rough translation: Socky Place). L.Z.B. declared a new nation called 'The Meme Empire', but it was soon reabsorbed into the P.R.J. and the name was changed to the 'The Meme Republic'. The Constitution was started on September 6 2023 and a government was established. The constitution was completed on November 13 2023. On 28 November 2023 the Meme Republic changed its name back to the Meme Empire. F.S.D. became Prime Minister the same day. On 12 December Crackstonia became an autonomous territory of the P.R.J. On 30 December, Queen Henny abdicated making Aurora Queen and her husband, Quackilus I, as King. This also resulted in the first left-handed monarch in Snozzwanglian history, which was Quackilus I. On 29 February 2024, L.Z.B. officially dissolved the Meme Empire and it was absorbed into the P.R.J. Quackilus III, Google I and Google II were born on 10 March 2024. On 27 March 2024, the P.R.J. was dissolved after an agreement made by F.S.D. and A.W.K.
