History
In 1968 the protests in Czechoslovakia spread over to Bulgaria where many people in the west began to protest against communist rule. There were various insurgency groups, terrorists, paramilitaries etc. that were combatting the Republican Army, the DSR (state service for intelligence) and the Black Army death squads. This turned into the Bulgarian Civil War, with the rebels getting secret support from the west in order to defeat communism. Soon the Warsaw Pact armies were helping the government but fear of Western intervention (and WWIII) and inmense pressure globally aginst their atrocities led them to concede the western part to the rebels, who made it a republic in 1969.

Economy and Energy
Energy forms a large portion of the national economy, and especially nuclear enegy is very big. The Soviets built several power plants and reactors and the Bulgarians built their own porjects soon after. In 1970 Atomniksgrad (Atomic city) was built beside the AT-15 Nuclear Plant. In 1975 some nuclear reactors slowly leaked. When serious levels of radation were detected 3 weeks later all 15,000 residents were contaminated to some degree.

Movement
Internal travel is heavily restricted in the republic. The government issues Internal passports in the from of Citizens Identification Card. People with an "A" card can travel freely (this is issued to party members and military leaders). "B" licenses are issued out to scientists and important workers who work in restricted or closed cities (it's generally limited to public areas plus their city). "C" licenses are given to the general public but are full of restrctions.
