History

Before the Europeans

From around 200 AD to 600 AD several peoples from Polynesia migrated to the large archiplago. They were divided into several tribes. Different tribes landed on every island and each ha there own way of living. They lived in peace and war with only one another for more than a millenia.

Age of Colonies

From around 1600 to 1800 several european countries took over the islands. France owned what is now Uiri, Spain owned what is now Riopo and England oned pretty much everything else. Soon after King Louis XVI was executed, Uiri became independant.

Uiri was then taken over by the English. The English were entangled in South-East Asia which delayed the time it took for them to take their next target: Riopo. After the Spanish-American War Spain sold Riopo to the Dutch and England attacked. The result was The English and Dutch being thrown out.

Independance

Several new countries emerged. The islands which are now Zhonhua Renguo were nver inhabited before the founing of Taiwan and then it was discovered. Chinese took it over and it became coloquially known as New China.

Most of the islands of th Pacific Islands have kpt to themselves and some have waged wars. The most recent international incident was a near war with the capitalist pacific island.
