History of Pontilandia

Currently it is 2290. Pontilandia was in a total of 6 wars in it's history. Originally part of several different countries. In 2069, there was a rebellion in the area where Pontilandia is today. The rebellion is considered the first war in Pontilandia which was called The Pontil War, which is where the country gets it's name. The people came together from these areas and decided what exactly to do with the newly formed country. Most people from these areas spoke English so it became the official language of Pontilandia. The government is a democracy and the economy works on Capitalism. Pontilandia had a Civil war called The Pontil-Mansa Civil War. The PMCW was caused when a dictator figure was elected to the State of Mansa (Pontilandia side of Papua New Guinea) The fight was swift and Sumanuka (the dictator) was disposed of (ethically or unethically? No one knows or cares). The PMCW was the second war in Pontilandia History. The other 4 wars were all with Malaysia. The wars were as followed 1st Pontil-Malay War (2134-2136) 2nd Pontil-Malay War (2138-2139) 3rd Pontil-Malay War (2140) 4th Pontil-Malay War (2145-2150). The 4th Pontil-Malay war was the last war in Pontilandia History and the most talked about. Pontilandia was almost in WW3 but was kept out thanks to the Pontil-North American Agreement which meant every country in North America protects Pontilandia. Pontilandia has 4 states and 1 territories. The two territories were already mentioned and the three states - Ausandia (Australia Part), Papua (Papua New Guinea Part), Indoandia (Indonesia part)(The State of Mansa was renamed as Indoandia), and Jopilia (Island that is not connected). Pontilandia has 5 symbols (Sun, Chicken, 3 stars, Pontsage, and Blue Square) and 3 national holidays which are Day of Creation (March 25), Pontsage Day (June 9), and Whale Watch Day (December 3).

there are entire programs targetting killing feral cats because they’re decimating native wildlife 😭

good choice of area, but diamond deposits which could have significantly boosted the economy probably would’ve ran out. good place for a capital, though it’s going to be really hot and relatively tropical throughout the country.

oh it says 2069, but even by then the mining companies would have emptied the area of diamonds. argyle diamond mine is pretty much finished now, and i can see that happening to other major mines soon.

The Pontilandia government finds diamonds useless. It is Iron that we like.

so no laws against wire fraud or speeding?

These are just a few laws. Fraud is punishable by banishment and speeding in this time line is impossible because advanced technology allows us to set a maximum speed on a car for roads.

No worries, the Sowachi Republic has some trouble with connection right now at the moment as well. A plane was accidentally crashed in one of the main cell towers and a small portion of the Minsk Region is currently offline. We are currently working to resolve this problem.

UPDATE: Minsk State is back on the grid. (sorry for calling it a region.) The plane came from a local flyer in Sowachi City. The flyer (who wants to remain anonymous) is currently trying to pay the damages.

We don't have anything to do with Indonesia because my country is near Myanmar.
