Taxfree Monarchy Aftonia

The Taxfree Monarchy Aftonia often shortened as TMA, was a proposed state by the United Nations to be located on the island of Cuba. It was meant to be a laissez faire capitalist neutral nation, which would increase trade and incentivize economic development in the New World. Initially proposed by Ninjago and Orochi as a way to allow for trade with Raukirland and to some extent the Johanian Republic. Since the Allied States' sanctions against Ninjago prevented direct trade between Raukirland and Ninjago. The proposal was widely supported by Johanian President Gallus, who believed it would be beneficial for the Johanian New World settlements in Nova Stadt, Westcoastistan. It was also championed by the Right-Libertarian Party in Norte de Mexico and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
The UN Partition of 3/7-2020 stated that the territorial rights to the Cuban island officially belonged to this proposed state. Although, since it did not come to fruition due to increasing tensions within the UN. This left the status of Aftonia in a legal grey zone. The Johanian Republic stated numerous times that the de jure status of the island should be terra nullius. In late July 2020, Ninjago annexed the island, which began another territorial dispute with the Johanian Republic. Although the effects of it was minor, since it was merely properly noticeable in that a lot of Johanian-produced maps deliberately excluded the island of Cuba from Ninjago. Historians later concluded that Ninjago's annexation and defiance of the UN Partition was partly due to the fact that the proposed Monarch of Aftonia had close ties to the international organization MAD, which was viewed negatively in Ninjago as they had close relations with the Johanian Republic. MAD was described as a "Vaushist-ruled organization" according to the Ninjagoan Imperial Foreign Affairs department. Despite the fact that all proper member-states were capitalist.
