Polynesia

It's a wonder how we're noticed by and relevant to the world.

Polynesia was a sovereign nation now a dominion in the Pacific Islands. It consists of many, many islands in the Pacific, and goes under one goal, to unite the Polynesian lands away from foreign interference. In 1966, however, the idea sort of failed when Polynesia agreed to become part of Australia, now known as the Oceanic Union, as a dominion. (WIP)

## **HISTORY OF POLYNESIA**

Polynesia currently has an ongoing history, now with being a dominion of the larger neighbor down under.

### **IRRELEVANCY**

When Polynesia first started out, Polynesia was under an absolute monarchy. Everything was monitored and chosen by Tuala I himself. His journey had started out with the Islands that he expanded to, however, one problem was in the way. Japan. Japan was expanding towards the Pacific Islands, which was infringing on their claims. Once, Japan wasn't amused with Polynesia being in the way, proclaiming that they were but a thorn on their side, and would be dealt with, but that came after annexing Hawai'i, Polynesia's most important Island that's not Tonga. Hawai'i was traded in exchange for all the other islands that Japan had. Thus creating the good ol' Polynesia, except without New Zealand.

### **RELEVANCY AT LAST**

With Polynesia set to become a regional power, and the whole continent of Oceania becoming just a mere plaything for Polynesia, Polynesia would expand to New Zealand, even facing every time "No" was said to them. But Polynesia couldn't resist helping their chums out in Japan when they faced against a Chinese Nation. This received backlash from other countries. Polynesia, however, didn't want any of it, so they listened and backed down of any future wars. But then, the Soviet Union, looking for more power to hold, got a hold of Ukraine. This prompted Polynesia to join the war, and rout the Soviets out, sending them without a nation, only to become the Russian Federation, a puppet of the MAF, now known as the United States.

### **FRIENDS FROM OCEANIA**

Soon after the Soviets were defeated in a joint effort, a nation, formerly a Penal Colony, known as Australia, bounced up as a new nation, foiling Polynesia's plan to take over the continent-island. Australia was part of the Commonwealth at the time, so they were guaranteed to have protection by the United Kingdom. Australia, however, had better relations with Polynesia, as they were close to each other, and practically lived in the same continent together. They even had a series that Polynesia won 2-1. That said, a bombing happened over at Sydney Stadium during their game with Switzerland, and thus prompted Polynesia to temporarily shut down their football team. Polynesia had looked to other lands, primarily the Solomon Islands and Papua. However, that all came to a screeching halt when a new nation named Papua New Guinea had their independence, along with Indonesia. The two were part of the commonwealth, but the former had united with Australia despite some troubles. Soon after, Australia left the commonwealth, had a new flag, and wanted one thing.

### **DOMINIONSHIP**

Australia, now united with Papua New Guinea, now was looking to become even stronger. The first nation they looked to was, of course, Polynesia, seeing that they're right next to Australia. Australia at first wanted to, although VERY much hesitantly, invade Polynesia and become a powerful nation. However, that would become much easier when they asked Polynesians to become a part of them. Polynesia accepted, and is now part of the new nation that came to be, the Oceanic Union.
