History
The Islands have been long debated as independent, the first attempt at revolt was an unorganized attempt about 75 years ago by the many tribes to rebel against the emperor, an idea that was unheard of until then, resulted in the ‘Tribal Wars’ but the rag-tag band of tribes could not overtake the numerous, well organized imperial soldiers. After the nearly world encompassing Sound Empire split into the Holy Sound Empire and the Echo Empire 47 years ago, the Far Echo Islands made their first vie for independence, but the region only got war torn by the fighting of the two great Empires over them. 23 years later when political corruption broke out into assassinations that killed almost all the leaders of the Echo Empire, which had won rights to the islands, this temporary confusion of who was in charge caused the revolutions of 17 nations that the Echo Empire had ruled; the Far Echo Islands was one of them. But the Holy Sound Empire came out of nowhere and re-conquered the archipelago. Five years later the still debated responsibility of the detonation of a nuclear device in the capitol of the HSE killed the leadership, and 4.3 million other people, and both the massive empires finally dissolved.
Current issues in the last decade of the Confederacy has been the debate over communism vs. democracy vs. anarchy, weather or not to tighten the regulations of industry and the economy, and the most international, the debates over the rights of dolphins.
