The History of Izistan
Pre-NS World
What eventually became know as Izistan was discovered by a English trade ship around 1732. Dutch and British colony ships flocked to the area, beginning a history of mistrust between the two populations. Over a period of 40 years the colonies prospered, eventually French and German settlements were established. Life was peaceful amid the green islands.
One hundred years later, in 1872, the colonies separated from their respective governments and became Izistan. This set off a series of chain reactions that set off the powder keg of tension between the foreign colonists, each wanted the territory for their own. Events spiraled out of control and a full blown civil war erupted. This became known as the First Izistani War. It lasted for 50 long and terrible years, cultivating in the use of chemical weapons between the French and German forces. A hasty truce was signed and Izistan disappeared from the world scene altogether in 1924.
The nation survived the Depression with little economic damage due to its self imposed isolation. In 1937 it bought various technological items and a few weapons, these were copied and used for the betterment of the nation.
In March 1942, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy launched an invasion of the islands. Two years of bloody fighting later, the invaders were driven from the islands in demoralized fragments.
In 1963 the first atomic weapon was test fired, followed two years later by a fusion device.
The first satellite was orbited on May 6th 1964. The first Izistani cosmonaut reached space on November 19th 1970.

Now days, Izistan is primary in the background of international politics. Though military force is rarely used by Izistan, it still keeps the military up to date and ready for sudden action. It is a member of both the Woodstock Pact and The Empire of One. It also tries to mantain good relations with other nations.
