Mora Tau is a large archipelago in the North Atlantic. Mora Tau was colonised in 1653 by the European Ninaran Empire as three different colonies, Mora Tau, Tara Ha and I Takara. The colony initially served as a base in Ninara's long standing war against the Kingdom of Eicia and later as a prison colony.
By 1720, the archipelago's population had grown to about 1 million people. The three colonies had become quite close and their people regarded themselves as one. Taxes were quite heavy and the Ninaran military had become quite unoppular. The population, mostly composed of exiled Ninaran political dissidents, revolutionaries, petty criminals and their children, felt no connection to their Ninaran motherland.
Over the next 100 years, the archipelago became the industrial workhorse of the Ninaran Empire. One of the first European territories to be affected by the Industrial Revolution, the archipelago, by this time simply named Mora Tau, swiftly developed a very large working class. Mora Tau was transformed into one gigantic factory, workers worked long hours for poor pay and lived monotonous lives in grey and red brick landscapes. The workers had no rights. In 1842, the first liberationist movement started.
In 1877, the first issues of The Communist Manifesto arrived in Mora Tau. Communist ideals became widespread and a number of communist movements were born. In 1905, the first large revolution in the Russian states took place. The revolutions were a failure and many revolutionaries fleeing Tsarist repression fled to Mora Tau and many other countries. Living underground, these revolutionaries accelerated the Tauan movement a great deal.
In 1917, the people of Russia successfully overthrew their governments. Immediately after, there was a spate of revolutions worldwide, some successful, some not. The first Tauan revolution was a failure.
In 1939, war broke out in Europe. Ninara sided with the 3rd Reich. Mora Tau was dragged into the war and became one of Ninara's primary weapons production areas. Mora Tau was heavily bombed and was devastated. At the informal end of the war in 1972, with the fascist world in pieces, the people of Mora tau rose up and overthrew their fascist government, proclaiming the People's Republic of Mora Tau.
With Mora Tau completely devastated, the people had a hard time rebuilding. Mora Tau joined the Soviet Union in 1977. 1977 was an interesting year for Mora Tau. Nationalist movements broke out on I Takara, demanding independence. Punk rock suddenly became the most influential movement and their was a failed invasion from the fascist Lubeck Reich. Ninara, cut off from its industrial base, fell into civil war resulting in a communist victory there.
In 1991, large segments of the Soviet Union broke away and Mora tau was dragged into a long and confusing territorial dispute. Fluctuating between the USSR, the Soviet Union and the Land of the Red Army, Mora Tau finally broke away, joining the neighbouring Creature Isles.
In 2003, the Communist Party of Mora Tau, now almost completely composed of anarchists, punks and communist youth, elected a young punk Christina Janke to the position of General-Secretary. Janke brought Mora Tau back into one of the factions of the old USSR. The mohawked punks representing the People's Republic stood in stark contrast to the ageing and uniformed Soviet bureaucrats. In 2004, Mora Tau officially became the Mora Tauan Soviet Socialist Republic.
