Deep in the heart of Eastern Europe, nestled at the base of the Carpathian Mountains lies a little-known country called Bulbovia. Wedged between Romania, Hungary and the Ukraine, Bulbovia is certainly one of Eurasia’s smaller countries, measuring in at just under 200 square kilometers. It’s size, however, is by no means an indication of its importance. Not having achieved it’s independence until 1959, Bulbovia has been the punching bag of many a bullying country. Between the years 1743-1959, Bulbovia has been under the rule of several different nations. All that is behind them, however, for the Bulbovia of today is a bustling, proud nation that answers to no one. With that, two members of the Bulbovian Expansionist Research Corps are sent to civilize the most uncharted of territories. –Inbaseline
