New Croxley

New Croxley (Māori: Kapuakainga) is a sovereign state located in Allangria, specifically around the Tropias region. The country is entirely an island state, sharing maritime borders with Pradesca, Brightland, and Santa Chereza. The country has a population of 7,930,115, making it the 78th-largest country by population worldwide, and the 24th-largest of the Allangrian nations. The capital of New Croxley is Wabberston, while the largest city is Amescloud. Other major cities include Basington, New Parmouth, and Kingstown.
New Croxley was settled by the Māori people between 1200 and 1300 CE. The island was possibly one of the last locations to be discovered or settled by humans. In the 1700s, a Leaflese ship looking for Labsteria found the island, but was deterred by the Māori peoples. A ship from St. Gelta later arrived, having left Commolacia during it's independence war. The crew of the ship reported their findings to the St. Geltan government, who asked for the island to be settled. War later broke out between the colonists and Māori peoples, with decisive colonial victories. New Croxley was developed upon, and began to develop it's own national identity. In 1923, New Croxley was given permission from St. Gelta, now part of Jonathia, to declare independence as a sovereign state. With the turn of the 20th century, many New Croxleyans began calling for civil rights for Māori peoples. New Croxley later entered the Great War on the Allied side in 1938, fearing threatening activity from Auritadia. New Croxley then remained neutral during the Cold War. In modern times, New Croxley is largely peaceful, though the country fears international conflict.
New Croxley is a developing country. It is a member of the GUIS, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the Union of Allangrian States.
