## History

Minted Islands were once inhabited by Dabatoids but changed once the Celtic Kingdom of Drogsters landed in 821 AD, Minted Islands were ran by Drogs until 1147, to their change into a feudal start, which caused a revolution among the people. It changed from the Drogs to the Noughs. The Noughs lasted long but didn't do anything to prosper to the Minted Islands. In 1401, the Beurgs overthrew the Noughs. The Beurgs were perhaps one of the most prosperous families to live control the Minted Islands. In 1457, they had colonized most of the island, in 1502, they finally finished conquering the island, after a victory against the Spanish Empire in control for one of their islands. The Beurgs killed around 800,000-2.3 million~ natives that inhabited the islands. In 1778, all of the Beurgs were hung, shot and killed after yet another Mintish Revolution to switch from a monarchy, to a Republic. They remained a relatively peaceful island until a Doryan-Anglo agreement happened, after the Minted Island refused and disobeyed a bunch of Doryan trade agreements, which stopped them from trading bananas with the British. Britain, not happy agreed to a agreement with Dorianstreet which allowed occupation of the Islands. Which set up the "Banana Republic.", being both exploited by the British and Doryans which let them both acquire bananas, filled Minted Islands with political instablity. This led to uneven political development which is seen in modern day Minted Islands. The British also used one of the Minted Islands islands as a prisoner state, whereabouts lots of Irish and Austrialians were sent there, which is the reason why they have such a high Irish population. In 1833 a lot of the occupation has ended, the agreement had ended and ridden with political instability, and so another Mintish Revolution began in 1833. and a British puppet who rules the Islands, they once again had another revolution. A civil war that started in 1881, and ended in 1913. In the outcome, the leader appeared to be a revolutionary, to make everyone equal, infact he was a dictator that led the Minted Islands for decades, this was the so called "Tyrannical Years" which started from 1914 to modern day.

## Military

Minted Islands has a relatively strong military, although large it lacks flexability and relies heavily of supplies, the Army and the Navy suffers from mutinies, where both branches despises each other. The Minted Islands is balancing on a thin thread of budgets. If one goes too high, and one goes too low, there would surely be a rebellion from either sides. They have multiple strong branches although lack a larger airforce. A lot of troops are severely underequipped for fighting. The Army suffers from heavy corruption and could easily overthrow the government if they rebelled.
