It's the 30th independent celebration of Kempire. There's celebration everywhere in the country, the president gave a powerful and emotional speech earlier. There's fireworks everywhere in the country, the citizens are so ecstatic.
Kempire is an independent state in Africa. It's a country blessed with diverse resources, talents,creativity and mixed race citizens among others. It has twenty states with Megazone as its capital territory.
Kempire got independent on 25th of May 1970 from its colonial masters after a lot of constitutional amendment and protest. It is divided into north and south province having ten states each and a minister who reports to the president of Kempire who's office is in Megazone. The south province is more populated than the north, it also have Treshland as the most influential state in the whole of Kempire. The south also have more mixed race than the north, reasons being that their colonial masters used to reside in the south and married their beautiful ladies.
Ever since independence, Kempire has been led by six presidents who were more interested in building their wealth and connections rather than developing the country. Despite being independent, the citizens are not totally free to exercise their human rights especially women.
Women are given less privilege, until five years ago there weren't allowed to participate in elections. Girls are sent to school to study and get married immediately to the groom who their parents chooses. They are not allowed to work or do any trade. The only thing they do is take care of the household, give birth and be a good mother and wife. This was how things were in kempire before the "Massive Kempire Women Protest". The protest took place five years ago which was before the current president was elected. The protest was led by Flora West, a twenty-two years old who was sent to study law in London by her parents . The protest was so intense that the government had to succumb and give in to their demands. Some of the demands were "right to vote, freedom of expression, right to work , right to seek redress when abused among others". The following year, for the first time in history, women participated in the election which voted in the current president. Despite the fact that the government gave in the some of their demands, women are not totally free from the aged generational traditions of kempire.
Countries from all over the world rejoiced with kempire for the celebration of its 30th independence..
