Matoranesia

Matoranesia, formally referred to as the Matoranesian Island Nations, the Matoranesian archipelago, and the Matoranesian Islands, is a country located in North America. The capital of Matoranesia is Matoranesia City.

Matoranesia is considered an advanced country and has some of the largest technological advances since early computer systems debuted for military use in 1945, imported from the Republic of Wilson. The nation has one of the highest immigration rates in Aritonazca as of 2022. As a result, many languages across Metropacifica are spoken in the nation.

Prehistory - 1850: Original tribal era
Prior to the 1471 Arito earthquake, the Matoranesian Archipelago was an entire continent that had incredibly close maritime borders to the Arito subcontinent. There were a countless number of tribes in the location, including the Matoran, Aletumñan, and Skakdi people. They had settled around the archipelago and some even into Azara and the Arito subcontinent itself. Due to this, there was a Matoran settlement in modern day Fir from 540 AD to 765 AD, which was eventually annexed by the Vicnoran Kingdom. Native Goikish people were also introduced into the area at some point in time, introducing the Goikish language and sentient objects into to the area.

The first Matoranesian settlement not from original native settlers was populated by Maori people and was settled sometime in 800 BCE. Vicnoran culture was introduced into Matoranesia in the late 1400s after multiple ships evacuated due to the 1471 Vicnora earthquake. The earthquake as well destroyed some settlements in the southern portion of the archipleago. There were further settlements from various Asian and European cultures in the 1700s, leading to the formation of many colonies in the archipelago.

1850 - 1917: Colonization
The mid to late 1800s marked a high increase in the settlement of the nation, with heavy Maori, Japanese, and Russian influences in power. In 1915, political power was given to native tribal chieftains and Vicnoran citizens operating for the Japanese colonists. In 1917, the nation declared independence.

1917 - 1945: Early Matoranesia
The nation then proceeded to take over a majority of the island chain to reclaim the original tribal properties that were colonized by multiple Asian nations. The nation did not participate in World War II, but American forces occupied 4 military bases in the time, at locations that are currently civillian airports.
