Teck Level Cold War - Near Future


A large, rich area in the north of the Lesser Antilles, this area was, up to 52 years ago, run be three imperial warlords, each from the Rezörk family (hence the Rezörk Dynasty). These warlords then sold out to Guest Corp and the IEC Bank, two huge British corporations, in an attempt to avoid taxes. It has since flourished both political and economical.

History

Pre-Colonial

Before the Europeans discovered the islands, very few records of the area can be found. The ruins of Alcapeio are legendary because they show of people living on the islands before. Apart for that there are only two proofs of the islands ever being seen. One was from Chineese explorers from 1432. They give an accuate desciption of the Kalisone costline, but we also know from the records that no one ever landed. The other was that Native American tribes talk of a "Great Collection of Islands". but we do not know whether or not they are taking about our islands or any others from the north of the Lesser Antilles.
