History
Main Article: The History of Bai Lung
Previously an independent nation before 1820 mostly inhabited by animals notably fridge owls and a local Aboriginal group. The island, then called Tuk Ma, was invaded by the Koreans and was made part of Korean empire. It was ruled under the king's tenure for the next 20 years, who re-named it Hana Hanguk ("One Korea") and ordered the mass culling of the fridge owls who often resides in cold caves. By 1840, the island was rediscovered by a Chinese merchant ship stopping by to gather supplies for the crew. Accidently, the crew bumped into a few angry natives and ended up beheading much of the crew. When the Chinese King heard news of barbaric activities, he ordered an army to head over to the obscure island and ordered an attack. It was eventually taken by the Chinese in 1845 but not before a very long and bloody battle between the Chinese and Koreans using huge number of cavalry and chopping one anothers heads off. In all, around 450,000 lives were lost in 5 years. A king was declared leader.
Many of the previous residents felt very irritated by their new "neighbours" and anti-Chinese sentiment was fairly common, despite the fact many Koreans descended from Chinese origins. Instances of racism include racial slurs to kicking out ethnic Chinese and often lynching them. Eventually, the tensions gotten reached it's nadir, a long riot lasted 3 months. It was one of the most bloodiest riots since the invasion. Around 4,000 died just to claim one rock. Eventually many Koreans were fed up of this bloody battle between and decided to move back to Korea. It was a victory for the Chinese although many Korean decided to stay and integrate with the Chinese. This is why many of the Bai Lungese have Chinese and Korean names. In 1847, the island was declared as Bai Lung meaning White Dragon.
Because of the discovery of many valuable materials found on the island, the Bai Lungese King is reluctant to accept the existence of the island in order to "avoid any troubles from outsiders". During the 1st and 2nd world wars, many army forces from different countries occupied the island ranging from Americans to Japanese. The Americans gave the Bai Lungese supplies and the Japanese took the supplies and shot some of the residents in order to clear space and set up camp. A high ranking officer was sent there to monitor the movements of all the Bai Lungese people.
Bai Lung was ruined by the constant occupation by the different army forces, many people were killed and much of the buildings were destroyed as a result of the bombings by the Japanese. It was in 1946, Chen Chui Sik, a reformist, managed to win the heart of many Bai Lungese by holding the 1st ever elections and won by a landslide. He formed his first government, managed to get the troubles over between Chinese and Korean residents and reformed much of the country. His party, the Bai Lungese National Party was very popular in the 1st 2 years, showing a lot of promise to the public. 1949 was a disasterous year for the National party, when Mao's Communist Party of China establish the People's Republic of China. Mao ZeDong decided to claim control of Bai Lung and renamed it as the People's Republic of Bai Lung much to the Bai Lungese's chagrin.
In 15th March 1950, a militia group (named "Save Chen") made an attempt to overthrow Mao's regime. A long bloody battle followed lasting 8 months with frequent shellings and shooting. The militia group finally suceeded on 16th November 1950 and installed a military junta for the next 12 years.
