Nwoh became independent in 2006, after more than a century as a German colony. Nwoh was one of the few German colonies not forfeited after both the world wars, and it has seen a fusion of a very select few cultures resulting in a unique culture. Although old divisions linger, Nwohan nationalism is on the rise with disparate ethnicities feeling a oneness that transcends race and religion.

History

The Period of Precolonization

Approximately 1800 years ago, a small band of Kaskaskia Indians migrated to the island of Nwoh. They created a village on Nwoh's northern shore. Because the Kaskaskian migrants were so few in number, new traits managed to develop where they would otherwise have not. For instance, different from any mainland Kaskaskia, Nwohan Kaskaskia had blonde hair and blue eyes. The Kaskaskia lived on the island of Nwoh for a thousand years without problems, but then came the Ottawa. The Ottawa eventually made that same trek and landed on Nwoh's northwestern shore. The Nwohan Kaskaskia's small genetic pool of traits contributed toward a weakening in their physical bodies, and the tribe was massacred. The Ottawa rebuilt the Kaskaskian village and remained on Nwoh. Evolution smiled kindly on the Ottawa, and, with the help of five later waves of Ottawan immigrants from the mainland, the Ottawa gene pool held strong. Modern historians now believe that some mixed breeding occurred between the Ottawa and Kaskaskia before the latter were exterminated due to reports from the first German settlers that some of the Ottawa they first discovered had blonde hair (although the allele for blue eyes had been weeded out).

The Period of Colonization

In 1774, three sons of the leader of a small Islamic sultanate (whose name has been lost in time) sailed to the island of Nwoh. The Ottawa revered them as gods and commanded the three brothers to be their leaders; however, the two eldest sons died almost immediately due to disease, so the only youngest remained. He declared himself the sultan, a title which still exists on Nwoh today. In 1900, Germany financed a ship to sail through 0000000000000. Commanded by Admiral Matthäus Eberlin, the ship landed ashore Nwoh. The Germans began a period of rapid colonization, pushing the Ottawa to the western shore. Ethnic tensions flared, and the Ottawa rose up in 1901; however, the Germans, replenished thanks to the mother country, quashed their rebellion. During the first world war, the Ottawa succeeded in wresting Nwoh from German control (unsubstantiated rumors claim this was done with British support), but their reign was short-lived. The Germans regained control in 1921 and would stay in power for another twenty-two years. Then, lightning struck twice. In 1943, with Germany ferociously involved in the war in Europe, the Ottawa rose up again, gaining control. A decade later, the "native" Germans fought back and reclaimed all of Nwoh except the western shore.

The Period of Independence Nwoh became independent in 2006. In 1994, the UN demanded Germany to give Nwoh its independence; however, the independence movement was slow due to differences between the Ottawa Tribe in the west and the Germans in the east. After a protracted debate, the two sides met in Helsinki with Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen. Miraculously, the two sides agreed to form a harmonious alliance and unite under one nation insofar as that government did not take too much power. The Germans allowed the leader of the Ottawa Tribe, Sultan Tebeau, to be a ceremonial sultan. While still possessing some power, the greater control lies in the Congress, whose members are popularly elected. With both sides greatly pleased by the result of the conference, the Finnish leader's daughter, Annastiina, was wed to the sultan to seal the arrangement. Since then, civil war in Sri Lanka has led to a wave of Sinhala refugees. Also, the newly improved relations with Finland have correlated with a sizable wave of Finnish migrants.
