Brief History

The history of Sierrastare is able to be traced back to 1200 BC, However European influence didn't take place until the 17th century. The French Arrived in 1621 to a very well developed native society which would later use their language. Landis was colonized by the British in 1732. By 1775 most people who were natives in Sierrastare were enslaved. The few that werent enslaved held high positions in power.

Sierrastare was formed in 1806 along with Landis forming as it's own country a day later.

By the early 1900's Sierrastare had become a place of growth , The economy was constantly moving in the country however trade with other countries was still very limited and stayed that way until the 1980's. As the rest of the world went through the Great Depression , Sierrastare continued to grow on a financial level until 1935 when a brief crash occured. After the brief crash Sierrastare's economy it continued to grow again until 1969.

In 1969 Naepolian Redstone overthrew his 69 year old mother . His mother would flee to Morroco , then to England in 1973. That same year Sierrastare became an Empire and the future King of Sierrastare, Toussaint Redstone is jailed. By 1978 sanctions from 11 nations were threatening to be imposed upon Sierrastare due to the mistreatment of citizens whose family were killed , starved , and exiled. Many people began to leave and the economy by then had reached stage 3 failure. The worst rating of failure in the Sierrastarin economy.

The Empire ended with the death of Naepolian on December 30th 1979 and Toussaint became the head of the country. By May 28th , on the 174th anniversary of the founding of Sierrastare, A republic was formed. The modern day senate with 30 senators and 300 sub-senators took office along with Toussaint as King even though his powers became vastly limited to what they would have been had a senate not been in place to impose checks and balances.

Claudiya became queen after the death of Toussaint and Gracea ( The former Queen of Sierrastare)on May 28th 1994 . Her approval and accension to the throne occured June 9th of the same year. In 1995 the Republic of Sierrastare became the New Kingdom of Sierrastare. In the following years the country had began it's rise to where it is today. It's acceptance into the SCJU as a Ambassadoral nation was acknowledged fully March 1st and it's acceptance as a Full Member occured July 4th with acknowledgement the same day.

The Rebound of a Single Mother- Part Une  

Nord Champs ,Joliendroit, Avance Province

2:47 pm

_____________________________

Hair , makeup , dress, scent. The visage for a date took shape in Daiowne's home in Nord Champs , Joliendroit. She resided in Montesine Courte in the heart of of this classical area of Joliendroit. From her 3rd floor window she could see the cars passing on the street below as she was busy getting herself and her daughter ready. Tonight was going to be special, tonight was going to be the day she did somethins she hadn't done in a while. Go on a date with her longtime boyfriend who was just getting back from France. 

"Mom , What time is the car coming to pick me up to take me to Uncle and Auntie's house." Her daughter, Uriiel, asked standing outside of the bathroom talking to her mother.

" It should be here in the next hour. Make sure you are bringing all of your toys and games that you want to play, Okay?"

" I have them ready."

"Okay , Also make sure that you treat Aunt Claudiya nicely. She is still getting better from having her babies."

" I know, I know , Make sure I give her lots of kisses-"

" ...and quiet"

"Okay"

The phone rang and Daiowne almost fully ready to go with just her hair to do walked out of the bathroom and to the phone which wasn't too far away.

"Bonjame (Hello) "

She continued to speak over the phone for a minute and then with yeses and nods and a smile on her face she hung up the phone. She went back into the bathroom and began using the flat iron for her hair. Meanwhile speaking to her daughter. "Okay your ride will be here in 25 minutes so I will wait here for that time okay."

"Okay , I'll just go ahead and watch some T.V then."

"Okay." 

25 minutes passed as Daiowne finished sprucing and did a couple things trying to fix up the house alittle before going out.

The Rebound of a Single Mother - Part Duex

It was time to head out. Uriiel had been sent on her way and Daiowne was just about finished getting ready. She cleaned up around the house alittle to burn up time 6:55pm came and it was time for her to take her walk east. She would grab her keys and put them in her purse , then grab her handbag and and put it on the ottoman next to the door.She grabbed her coat and went through the process of getting it adjusted in her right arm. It was going to be alittle chilly tonight in Joliendroit. So she wasn't going take her chances. 

 

She got her cellphone ouut as soon as she walked out of the door and closed it, 7:05 

 

  

  

Daiowne made it to her destination as the sun began to set the plaza was getting crowded and stand owners slowly began to close their humble establishments of business. Daiowne stood under one of 4 tree that were illuminated by white string lights. Each seemingly new in placement. She stood and looked at her phone, 7:30... When suddenly from behind she heard a voice. Familiar , and sweet o her ears. She turned around for he man to gereet her eyes and her face lit up like the trees near her by means of a smile. She walked towards him and he said.

"By'suisi hueruex parce que , By'suisi en mi zomine  ( Iam happy because , Iam  home.) " 

" By'suisi jolian swedons"( Iam glad as well ) " Daiowne said in response.

An embrace along with a kiss on the lips. Perfect yet simple reunion. 

There was now time to catch up , it was time to bridge the 7 year gap that lay between them not seing each other in person for that long. Only communicating through text and letters either over a screen or a paper.

As they began to walk they would clib on the subway and  procede into the heart of the city...

Well, not sure why the restart, but I guess perhaps it's for a kind of story re-intro?

At any rate, your CJ just gets more and more euro style every day. Looks good as always.

The Rebound of a Single Mother - Part Trois

Dinner had begun at the fancy resturant between Daiowne and the man. It would be a 3 block walk from the subway station. However both enjoyed it with a slow walk in which they laughed and reflected.

" I remember when you took me to the prom when I was 17. It was crazy . It rained that night and my hair ended up getting wet. It was so bad that they ended up having to end it early because places were flooding outside of town." Daiowe said

" I remember that as well. Your hair was so nice too and you looked gorgeous. I can clearly remember it like it was yesterday. I was dressed in a tux and was a shoe in for Prom king. The weather had it's way and I ended up having my parents pay for the tux because it got ruined. They were so mad at me that my I ended up grounded until I left home" 

"Those were the days, Garét those were the days." Daiowne said walking next to Garét holding him slightly closer smiing.

"I also remember that the heels you had on broke right after the prom ended."

" Yeah , Thank god was ended up falling on grass...And you were there to catch me."

"Oh don't mention it "

"12 years later and still I don't " She laughed.

    

      They arrived at the resturant named Nübarres. 

The resturant was classy and was also very very exclusive. When they walked in they were presented to their seats by a waiter. Several others were there as well talking and eating. Low music played in the background as the two waited at the table. They talked and then ordered their two glasses of wine and their food. 

After they ate they continued to talk and Both laughed at the occasional comical line that sprung up in the conversation. When the bill came Daiowne presented the royal card while Garét paid for the rest. However Garét right before putting on his coat directed Daiowne's attention for his statement. 

"Oh yes..."

"Huh? What is it ? "

Garét shifted in his spot and then got down on one knee. Daiowne's heart raced. She had been waiting for this moment for 7 years. Was this the moment?

"Daiowne. Will you marry me?"

There was a slight delay in her answer due to her emotions quickly fluxing between surprise and joy. She then said accepting the Gold and Daimond ring.

"Yes...."

They embraced and left the resturant. There was an applause from the small crowd in the resturant as they left and headed to Garét's apartment.Not to long afterwards it began to rain and fog came over the Lovely Place City.

Happy Valentines Day <3

SIENA - Downtown Joliendroit - District 1

Joliendroit , despite it's  low rise construction has some high rise buildings for extra space in the already crowded Siena section of the city.

Philedelphie Avenue is named after it's sister city Philadelphia in the United States. This Avenue is also a prime location for parades as well in the city. Philedelphia Ave. Also runs over 22 miles running out of he city into the suburban and rural areas retaining the name Philedelphie but changing titles as it goes into less denser areas.

Huxtley is the main area for shopping and also a main haven for fashion. The park that lays in the middle of the Françias and Íntergane Sts is called Curie Park , Named after Marie Curie and her work in radiology. The first paper sold in Sierrastare telling of her discovery of radiation was sold infront of then Ashland Park , It has since became known as Curie park. City Council changed it's name officially in 2002.

To the right the University Housing Extends into downtown west from the Mariselle district of Joliendroit. Most people who live here attend Le Collegaté du Majestie as it is known inSierrastarin or The College of Majesty. The other name for CoM is Joliendroit University. Off to the left the Huxtley district caters to fashion designers and everyday people. In Huxtley the price for rent is slightly lower than the average rent in the city.
