| − | New Haven is a large, economically powerful communist nation with a population of over 4 billion people. Much of its recent history has involved ongoing conflicts with the Nation of [[Allanea]]. New Haven is best known for its mining and agriculture, for which it helps the nation obtain a spot within the Top 2000 UN-listed nations for both categories. Much of its domestic and foreign policy is centered around its membership in the [[Concordat of Hermes]]. Its economy is based on Uranium Mining and Crop-Based Agriculture.

| − | == Brief New Haven History ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | One thousand years before its emergence as a world power, the area now known as the South Haven Archipelago was under the control of two factions: The West Islanders and East Islanders. The West Islanders controlled the western half of the Archipelago, and the East Islanders controlled the east. After two hundred years of occasional warfare, the West Islanders succeeded in wiping out the East Islanders, thus establishing the West Islander Empire.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The preindustrial empire was eventually swallowed up by [[Midlonia]] 200 years prior to the Rise of The Island States. At first, the natives were given respect and given positions within the Colonial Legislature. A decade before the Rise, the Colonial Legislature was shutdown and replaced with a tyrannical Administrator who tried to eradicate all of those with Islander heredity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Rick Rivera, a son of a West Islander Electrician, rallied the colonists and the natives into a rebellion, fighting the [[Midlonian Imperial Army]] for ten years. With the final Battle of Freeport, the [[Midlonian Imperial Army]] packed up and moved out, leaving the Islanders and Midlonian colonists (who now looked rather similar due to two-hundred years of crossbreeding) to decide their fate. A National Convention was held, a constitution written, and the country founded.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | On its first day of existance, The Island States was attacked by Tech-Annihater. The Island States sought help, and received it in the form of the future members of the [[United NationStates Anti Oppression and Tyranny Organization]] or (UNAOTO). The issue was forced into a cease-fire, and Tech-Annihater has never been heard from since.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Island States went through several phases of turmoil, with the government shifting every so often (from republic to imperial dictatorship and back to republic). After joining the [[United Alliance of Progressive States]] (UnAPS), the government settled down into a rather permanent Second Republic. With that, The Island States' economy and military grew to incredible power, taking hold of the Continental Territory (The last stronghold of East Islanders in South [[Haven]]).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | All seemed well, until the [[Allanea-UnAPS War]] brought about a quick set of changes. After the unsuccessful invasion of [[Allanea]], The Island States took massive losses and a counterassault against The Island States seemed inevitable. On a cloudless night over Freeport, the military took complete control of the country after it was discovered that long-time President Rick Rivera was attempting to negotiate a peace deal and alliance with [[Allanea]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After the exile of Rick Rivera, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs James Newman (5-star general at the time) took control of the country and the war. Even though the war ended shortly thereafter, The Island States worked to counter [[Allanea]] at every opportunity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Even though the war had ended in near defeat of The Island States, it did not stop the country from making a critical change that would change its history. In a matter of hours, the Second Republic had ended, and was replaced with a Socialist Union. The Golden Age of Communism had arrived for The Island States. Quickly after reorganizing the government, President Newman contacted [[Edolia]] and [[Hattia]], helping to create the [[Union of Socialist Republics]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Industry boomed, military might soared, and nothing seemed to threaten The Island States. After the [[One Day War]], The Island States reversed a long-standing tradition and began to assist [[Allanea]], almost to the point of open warfare in space. The situation was resolved peacefully, leading to a TIS colonization of the [[New Haven System]], eventually leading to the establishment of the [[New Haven Socialist Republic]], turning the former Island States into a province of an even greater state.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | New Haven's history is nearly secure within history as one of the most prosperous and successful socialist/communist countries. As long as the national unity of [[New Haven Socialist Republic]] maintains itself through thick and thin, nothing can stop this "Red Juggernaut."
