Atrunia

The Republic of Atrunia, or simply Atrunia, is a nation comprised of islands in the Sea of Japan, between the Koreas and Japan.

Pre-colonial period
For most of it's history, the islands of Atrunia would be rural rice-farming dynasties isolated from the rest of the world.

Colonial period: 1891-1945
The colonial period of Atrunia would begin in 1891, when the Empire of Japan found the islands and begin a colonization campaign. By 1915, all of the islands of Atrunia would be conquered by Japan, and the Atruni people were treated horribly under the imperial regime, until Japan surrendered in 1945 and became occupied by the USA.

1945-1949: American occupation
After WW2 ended, America began to occupy the islands, and American influence spread across Atrunia. Eventually, in 1949, they would gain independence.

1949-1991: Cold War
After the independence of Atrunia, a democratic republican government would be founded and be given a new flag. In 1961, Atrunia would join NATO and would be declared an enemy by the communist bloc. The USA had protection over the islands, and declaring war on the islands would mean declaring war on the USA. Due to fears of nuclear war, Atrunia would never be invaded.

1991-present: Modern era
After the Cold War, Atrunia has shown to be possibly one of the most successful nations in East Asia. Atrunia has shown to have very strong diplomatic and trade relations with South Korea, Japan, and the USA. Atrunia has built a huge electronics and entertainment industry over time.
