Sollum

Sollum (Officially the Communist Sollumian Islands) is a country in the Atlantic ocean, currently under dictatorship.

Discovery
It is estimated that in the 13th century, humans traveled from South Africa to the Sollumian islands, and some settled down there, in the old, lush rainforests of early Sollum. The earliest record of the islands is from 1259 on a map made of the Vaddi Empire (a tribal empire) by a tribesman after some settlers came back from the islands, naming them "Solla'ume" or "Rainforests Islands" in the Vaddian language.

First Vaddian Civil War (1273)
In the year 1273 inhabitants of Solla'ume (modern day Sollum) would begin rebelling against the Vaddians, quickly capturing many major islands before the Vaddian forces finally arrived at the islands, repelling the Sollumians to the small island of Kandioto in the south until after some time under food blockade from the islands in the north which completely starved the island due to its rather infertile lands, the Sollums would surrender, ending the First Vaddian Civil War.

Liteir - Sollum War (1973)
In 1973, Sollum invaded the Literarian islands, and pushed them back into the island they remain today. Lathistia stepped in and stopped before Liteir was completely eradicated. Today, Sollum still dislikes Lathistia, and Liteir has join WWPA.

WWPA - Sollum Cold War (2021)
After a series of events, a cold war between members of WWPA have engaged in a "cold war" against Sollum. Currently, there has only been one casualty, the Lathistian army general, Barry Newman. There are worries that Sollum will engage in all out war. The citizens of countries in WWPA are not the ones worrying, but instead it is the citizens of Sollum, due to the well-known fact that Sollum is many years behind Lathistia in combat technology. In fact, Lathistia is at least 5 years ahead of all other countries in terms of combat technology. As of the writing of this, war is agreed to be a major possibility.
