New Udonia

The **Federation of New Udonia**, informally known as **New Udonia**, is a large nation encompassing territory within the region of 10000 Islands.

## History

The year was 2030. The United States government was a total mess. The voter turnout was less than five percent. Dominoes Pizza was doing a better job at fixing the roads. Then the Continental "Apocalypse" happened.

The Yellowstone Caldera got selfish that nobody was paying it any attention. It decided it was the opportune time to blow its top. The ash spread across the Mesa Falls Tuff, devastating the western environment. As Americans scrambled to provide aid to their fellow citizens, the government of the United States did "nothing". Well, technically, allowing your top authorities to evacuate and relocate is not actually "doing nothing", but to the people of America it was virtually identical.

The remaining factions of government either strengthened their grip, went bankrupt, or were overthrown. As the nation descended into chaos, several states rose out of the ashes. These micro-states connected based upon cultural or religious backgrounds. These micro-states quickly tightened their borders and turned their focus on distributing aid. Eventually, once the grass began to grow again, the micro-states converged into ten districts. These districts eventually united under one flag, of orange and blue, and became known as the Federation of New Udonia. See main article, History, for details.
