New Oceania War for Independence

## **The Oceanic War For Independence Overview (2100-2108)**

The Oceanic War for Independence began in 2100. At the turn of the new century, on January 11th, *Safe Work Australia*, a government agency that aims to improve worker's conditions, reviewed occupational practices in New Oceania. Following their inspection, *Safe Work Australia* discovered *The Corporation*'s system of slavery, internally referred to as the 'indebted system', where individuals who have committed any crime of any severity would be served through labor in "appalling conditions worse than East Asia during the Third Industrial Revolution". Those who had to serve sentences under the system were treated "as if human rights were a privilege", with waking hours consisting of only work in dangerous conditions, social interactions being greatly restricted, being forced to spend any off-time in contaminated slums, and even children inheriting the combined sentences of both parents. Once *Safe Work Australia* discovered this they immediately issued closure of *The Corporation*, but since the planet is run by *The Corporation* the citizens of the planet wouldn't let this happen. Unfortunately, *Safe Work Australia* being a part of Earth's companies, and New Oceania still being Earth's property we wouldn't be able to stop the closure without leaving Earth's grasp, so that's exactly what New Oceania did. In 2100, New Oceania declared independence and war against Earth, beginning The Oceanic War for Independence. In the next coming 8 years New Oceania collected major wins all over Earth such as The Battle of the Trench, The Continental Siege, The New Oceania Invasion, and The Eradication Event. The Treaty of Planetary Annexation was signed to end the brutal war, that New Oceania dominated in, on January 1st, 2108.

## The Battle of the Trench

The Battle of the Trench was the first battle in New Oceania's quest for independence, with its vastly superior water technology, The Corporation decided to set up a hyperdrive inside of the Mariana Trench. Earth was far from ready for an attack, and The Corporation was instantly able to seize Guam, parts of Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines. The water pressure at the bottom of the trench was so strong that Earth probes and technology were unable to close the hyperdrive, and any that got close were easy targets for the New Oceanians. After

## The Continental Siege

The Continental Siege was a very important battle that gave New Oceania the edge in land warfare as well. After surrounding all of Australia they gathered up as many troops as they could, amassing an army of over 600,000. They invaded Australia on May 26th, 2106, and they took over completely on December 19th, 2106. After the battle, New Oceania built a military base as well as a transporter for direct access to the land.

## The Invasion of New Oceania

The Invasion of New Oceania was a devastating loss for Earth. Earth gathered an impressive army of 4 million soldiers and used an unknown transporter to invade New Oceania. Earth's army failed to consider the surface of the planet being covered in water making it very humid and raining constantly. The soldiers could not adapt in time when they decided to attack one of New Oceania's 14th districts (which is a major employee district), and they got decimated by the 500,000 soldiers stationed in that district.

## The Eradication Event

The Eradication Event was the battle that won the war, but cost the most important lives, the founders of this nation. The Eardication Event was a plan to take out all of the United Nations Offices; New York (The UN Headquarters), Geneva, Nairobi, and Vienna. All four founders would take the most powerful weapon they had, a pocket nuke, which is a small device that has the destructive power to take out a city at once. The catch was that they would only go off at the death of each founder they were attached to. To combat the world of New Oceania going awry they had a plan to upload their conscience to THE CEO. The plan was for each founder to pretend to have a separate meeting with each UN office, where as soon as they all got clearance they would activate the pocket nuke and take out every UN office leaving Earth defeated. Earth had to back down after the UN was destroyed by New Oceania then they issued a cease-fire over all parts of the planet until they had a treaty created.

## Treaty of New Oceania

The Treaty of New Oceania was the treaty that would end the war. This treaty gave New Oceania their independence for the price of giving back their land in Australia. New Oceania signed this treaty and ended the war since they got what they wanted, independence from Earth.
