Conlandia

Conlandia, also known as the Commonwealth of Conlandia is a country and sovereign state in the South Pacific Ocean. The closest neighbouring countries are Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and New Caledonia. The official language is English with a minority of indigenous Conlandian-language speaking residents.

The capital and largest city, Emerald City, has a population of around 3.75 million residents while the country itself has 9.6 million residents.

Prehistory: 40 BC-1799
28 million years ago, the area now known as Conlandia broke off from Pangea to become a set of islands. They were discovered to be habitable by the native Conlandians, or Cunskalondyans as they explored the islands.

English colonisation: 1799-1933
Between 1799 and 1809 the English discovered Conlandia and claimed the land as its own, setting up the Colony of Conlandia (from which the present nation gets its name from). Sempi Knagon, a native rebel who was expelled from the Colonial Forces set up the Conlandian Provisionary Force to begin a plan for independence.

Independence: 1933-Now
After a 5 year Conlandian Independence War, the nation seceded from Britain and became an independent nation on the 5th of January 1933. Now, as some Americans immigrated to the island, parts of American culture have an influence, especially in music, cuisine and cinema.
