Campre is a country in the Majestic world which is located in the continent of Synkríno. It shares borders with Phreshbia, Askaria, Lostain, Atlantis, Teplua, Oclan and Valrua.

History
Majestica was a world wide run dictatorship which had many human rights breaches and ethical issues wrong towards it's civilians. Women were seen as second class citizens in comparison to men and those of a lower social class were often overlooked and deemed as useless. Many individuals didn't have the right to vote such as women, people of a different ethnic origin other than Caucasian, those with disabilities or those that are either middle or lower class. Many individuals that spoke in a negative way regarding the leadership, government or any political official would be punished criminally either receiving a fine, criminal time, relocation or in the most extreme cases they would mysteriously vanish which led many individuals believe that the government was executing anybody that would speak out against them. The population of Majestica began to speculate "How would things change?". Ideas such as a political coupe rose but ultimately due to the a lot of weaponry being needed to overthrow the government the population realised that it was not realistic to do so and began to brain storm other ideas. One being the development of a new nation.

Activism for New Nations
Peaceful protests began to be organised by founding leaders of ideas for nations. These protests were attended by any individual as they did not discriminate against anybody. Each indifference was welcome and put on a pedestal for a push towards new nations developing. With the promise for more equality women, people of different race and religion as well as those with disabilities began to rally for the idea of nations being developed. In 1860 an idea began to speculate of forming new nations but the idea was quickly rejected and laughed of by government and political officials. However; following the rise in interest activists began to find themselves at the fore-front of the media in the 1870's. The peaceful protests that activists and civilians were taking part of were met with brutal police force and criminal charges which resulted in imprisonment for certain individuals. In despite of these reactions by the police and the government protesting not only continued but also intensified with the protests beginning to disturb traffic, storm governmental buildings, vandalise shops by breaking their windows, smash police cars and work refusal. Following the increase in severity of the protests and activism work debates began to occur about the actions that would be taken surrounding those conducting the actions. One method that was tried was forced relocation into different areas of the main activists however this worked in the activists favour as they began to gain momentum in different areas that were harder to reach before. In 1885 the Majestic Prime Minister conducted a press conference following a night of rioting in the capital city. In the statement he said ''"Majestica will rise above your antics that you create. The campaign you are leading is a mere joke for us sophisticated ones in parliament to laugh at you. You would not last one day in the real world of politics. Elect your leader, then we will see if you have really thought out your plan".

Nation Referendum
6 months following the press conference the activists leading the cause of a new nation elected the leader Keir Hardie. Following the election the Majestic government were surprised at the fact that a leader had been chosen but also that it had followed the protocols of a normal election. Being pleasantly surprised they agreed to hold a referendum in which the Majestic population were allowed to vote if a new nation would be developed. The referendum was help late 1886 a year following the election result of Keir winning. The referendum saw many monumental decisions be made, many of which were campaigned for by Keir. Such as the vote being open to all social classes, both male and female individuals as well as people of different ethnic origins. This saw 90% of the population being able to vote only excluding those under the age of 16 and those that are not fit enough to vote, for example those with mental health conditions.

Following the referendum results the prime minister of Majestica acknowledged the result and allowed a new nation to be developed. The Majestic government then wrote a procedure honouring the results but which also stated that the new nation would ultimately be controlled by Majestica still despite them being allowed to elect their own government, change their demonym, currency and pass their own legislation.

Birth of Campre
Keir began to work on the development of the new nation with a group of trusted individuals who were known as the first unofficial cabinet of ministers, To gain a political experience Keir was invited to be a Minister Without Portfolio in the Majestic Government to gain an understanding of the political system within Majestica. This was also a period in which he was able to develop the nation and start the transition period for the nation as well as developing its key policies. On the 7th of December, 1892 Keir held a press conference in which he revealed the new nation to be called Campre. He additionally revealed the flag that Campre held and told individuals that when moving to Campre they would change their demonym from Majestic to Camprean. Following the press conference many individuals that were pivotal in the campaigning of a new nation began to question when Campre would gain independence from the Majestic leadership. After the Majestic government failure to respond to the questions provided individuals began to riot again to become noticed. Rioting began to grow in severity again just like it did for the new nation idea. Keir spoke publicly regarding the rioting stating that he agrees individuals should make their voices heard but they should do so in a manner that is acceptable in the law.

The nation became independent in 1905 electing their first government.
