Founded on December 31, 2205 after Nintendo of America fled the United States of America fearing liquidation by the Administration of Thorton Echevarria. By October they had relocated their North American assets back to Nintendo of Japan. However this was also proven untenable as the the ultra conservative government of Japan began to crack down on video game usage across the entire country and Japanese Prime Minister Akakko Tushinumi used Nintendo as a scapegoat and relentlessly targeted them. Believing that remaining was no longer an option President of Nintendo Ahma Bashira opened negotiations with the Government of Indonesia for the purchase of several near uninhabited islands. The purchase was successful and on December 31, 2205 the Republic of Nintendo was declared with Ahma serving as it's first President.
