La Independencia

La Independencia is a government-sponsored publication house that began as the official newspaper publication of the government. It has since expanded into production of all forms of media from books to films.
== History ==
La Independencia began as the brain-child of then Koronel Bai Er Yi, who suggested the creation of an official foreign-oriented newspaper publication at the height of the empire's growing influence in the international community. This suggestion soon gained traction and Bai Er Yi soon became entrusted with the formation of this company.
=== First Article ===
La Independencia initially began as a publication exclusively for newspapers that focused on a specific topic- Domestic military and political events. The newspapers were originally published in English and French which made it popular only within the empire's 'Ilustradro' circles. It's first article ever published was in 1874; writing about the military's consideration of occupying Guam Island.
=== Classified Advertising ===

The Publication house soon expanded into other forms of media during the later 19th and early 20th century, documenting historical events with early film technology.
=== Temporary Cease of Operations ===
During the Korean Invasion, La Independencia temporarily ceased operations due to the staff having to flee the capital. This gave opportunity for small independent publication firms to seize the banner in publishing sought after news about the empire's current affairs. Operations eventually began once the government returned to the islands.
=== Books ===
La Independencia has since expanded into publishing books and other forms of literature, such as the owner's political literature "Quotations from Heneral General102".
