Bom

The Republic of Bom is a sovereign country in Oceania. It is among the largest countries in Nazcanesia in land area, though its population is around 3 million.

Colonial era
After exploring New Zealand in 1769, James Cook made his way to Bom the following year. The western half became a colony separate from New Zealand in 1863 while the eastern portion was German before the latter became a Class C mandate after World War I. The territory went to Pacifica in 1922 as compensation for transferring Saint Benedict Island to Ektæózeruich.

1922-1963
As one of Pacifica's largest land acquirements, Bom became a mandate under the former and became a Pacifican equivalent of both Hawaii and Florida during its heyday: the various (though gruesome) plantations kept the area's economy afloat, and low taxes along with warm weather invited people to the north and eastern coasts. One of the more controversial parts of its history was when Clarence Anderson, whilst providing more worker's rights, ended up attempting to segregate the Singaleno and turning them into second-class citizens. While this attempt was stopped de jure in 1932, restrictions regarding the issue of displacement remained unresolved, with laws regarding segregation remaining unchecked.

During the Second World War, Japan invaded portions of Pacifica to establish puppet states or military bases in the area. Bom ended up getting invaded, though most of the land taken was made up of its arid areas initially. The entire island was taken over in 1942, with it not returning entirely under Pacifican control until 1944

Bom became one of several autonomous communities under Mickey Bousfield in 1957. In this reformation, the population had the right to vote for becoming a district, remaining a protectorate, or declaring complete independence under majority rule, a policy that Pacifica followed along with the British. Because of said catch regarding the latter and help from Rhodesia, South Africa and (to a lesser extent) Portugal, the predominately white Bomian government declared unilateral independence in 1966. Provoking the indigenous population, several groups began an insurgency that later became the Aurelian Civil War. Pacifica, denouncing both groups, decided to occupy the island to assert national self-determination.
