History
The founding of the Socialist Republic of Mercredi was not just the birth of a new nation, but the birth of a new society, built on the principles of equality  and economic justice for all. And yet, the road to its creation was a long and arduous one, marked by struggle, sacrifice and ultimately, triumph.

In the year 4000, the land that is now known as Mercredi was ruled by a tyrannical monarchy, which oppressed the Wrench-speaking Mercredians and the Denglish-speaking minority. The people lived in poverty and had no political representation.

But the spark that ignited the revolution was a young Mercredian woman named Marie Dubois, who had grown tired of the injustices and inequalities in her society. She rallied the people, calling for unity and a fair society for all. Her speeches and writings inspired others to join her cause, and soon, a large movement had formed.

The revolution was not an easy one. The monarchy, backed by powerful elites, fought fiercely to maintain its power. The revolutionaries faced brutal repression, and many of their leaders were imprisoned or killed. But the people of Mercredi were determined to see their struggle through to the end.

Finally, in the year 4062, the revolutionaries were able to overthrow the monarchy and establish the Socialist Republic of Mercredi. The new government was built on the principles of equality and economic justice for all. The Wrench-speaking Mercredians and the Denglish-speaking minority were finally able to work together to build a society that was fair and just for all.

The current President Laurent Arnauld was elected on the platform of continuing the  ideals set forth by the founding of the Socialist Republic of Mercredi. He has been leading the country towards achieving more equality and economic justice.

The founding of the Socialist Republic of Mercredi was not just a political victory, it was a victory for the people of Mercredi and their shared vision of a better future. And today, as we look back on our history, we remember the sacrifices of those who fought for our freedom and honor their memory by continuing to build a society that is truly just for all.
