History
The United Kingdom of Rizja was esablished on 12 June 2009 with the union of the Kingdom of Pamale and the United Republic of Divvy and all of their respective land claims.
Politics and Government
Being a parliamentary monarchy, that means that Rizja must have a prime minister and a reighning monarch. Prime Minister Timucin Aydogdu was appointed on 12 June 2009 and currently resides in Rabbit Hutch, formerly part of the United Republic of Divvy. King David is the new name of the former King Shane of Pamale. . King David I abdicated on 1 February 2010 and handed the Rizjan throne to his younger brother Blake and he became King David II.
On 30 October 2010, King David II publicly announced that he saw he was no longer fit to run the kingdom and instead of handing the throne to the next in line, his uncle Graeme Atherton, he handed the kingdom over to his brother King Shane (II) of Pamale. Shane (II) decided to officially annex the land. As of 31 October 2010 at 0:00 UTC+8, the entire Rizjan territory will become a part of Pamale and Shane (II) will rule over it. Another perk in the deal was that David II becomes Mayor of the Municipality of Backton.
