The Federation of Malorian Islands or simply The Malorian Islands, is a country in the northeastern Caribbean. It shares waters with Haiti, The Dominican Republic, and Cuba. The Malorian Islands was originally a colony of the French Empire until 1910, when eventually given independence by the French Third Republic in 1910. In 1942, The Malorian Islands was occupied by the French State and Nazi Germany during World War II before the puppet government was overthrown in 1945. In 1953, the Malorian Islands became an absolute monarchy led by King Quentin Francoise after overthrowing leftist President of the Malorian Islands President Evan Gonzales. In 1993, the monarchy was de facto abolished in favor of a military junta led by anti-monarchist factions of the Malorianese Royal Army after King Quentin Farcoise died in 1989. Since the adoption of a democratic constituition in 2011, the Malorian Islands has functioned as a federal presidential republic.

Etymology

The name for the country Maloria comes from a Spanish word meaning angelic or graceful. Is is believed by ancient historians that the name Maloria was used by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus when describing the Malorian Islands to his colleagues. The Malorian Islands was known by many names throughout history, including but not limited to La Terre du Lions when under French rule and Isla de Angelica under Spanish rule.

Pre-Independent Malorian Islands (1553-1910)

Prior to 1910, The Malorian Islands was under the rule of the Spanish Empire from 1553 to 1812 and under French rule from 1815 to 1910. The region was seen as very important to both nations, as the nation was rich in sugar and bananas. The Spanish Empire first held the Malorian Islands as Isla de Angelica after it was first explored by Italian colonist and explorer Christopher Columbus. In 1812, the Second French Empire under Napoleon III conquered the Spanish Empire within Isla de Angelica and renamed the islands to La Terre Du Lions.

The Malorianese Revolutionary War (1907-1910)

In 1907, La Terre Du Lions went to war with the French Third Republic over its level of autonomy within France during the Malorianese Revolutionary War. From 1907 until July 9th, 1910, the provisional government of the Malorian Islands was established to form a temporary government and to fight France. The former governor of La Terre Du Lions, Malik Dubois, became the head of state of the provisional government on February 8th, 1907. On July 9th, 1910, the Treaty of St. Bernard was signed and a referendum was officially held to determine if the Malorian Islands wished to continue as an autonomous region of the French Third Republic or to be an independent nation. The referendum was held with the majority of voters wishing to be an independent nation. The former colony island known as La Terre Du Lions then formed the Republic of The Malorian Islands with Dubois becoming the first President of the Republic.

The First Republic of the Malorian Islands (1910-1942)

After independence was made by the Republic of the Malorian Islands, President Dubois pushed reforms within the country to improve the nation's economy from a purely agricultural economy into a partially agricultural economy. Dubois made these reforms through a visa policy that encouraged entrepreneurs, industrialists, and workers to immigrate to the Malorian Islands. This policy enacted by the Dubois Administration was successful short term, but affected the nation long term.

President Dubois died in office on March 3rd, 1933 with then-Vice President Veronique LeMonde becoming President of the Republic. LeMonde led the nation, ensuring the economy did not suffer nor improved through minor government intervention. Under the LeMonde Administration, President LeMonde also improved ties with the United States under President Franklin Roosevelt and the United Kingdom. On June 25th, 1940 Nazi Germany invaded and conquered the former French Third Republic. While LeMonde did not acknowledge the threat of both Nazi Germany and the newly established puppet state the French State at first, the LeMonde Administration began conscription on November 12th, 1940 to build the Malorianese National Guard. This did not stop Nazi Germany and the French State. On December 6th, 1942, Nazi Germany and the French State invaded the Malorian Islands. The invading Nazi and French forces captured St. Bernard and overthrew President LeMonde on December 9th, 1942. President LeMonde seeked asylum in Costa Rica, where she established the Malorianese Government-in-exile. The Nazi and French forces, in turn, established The Malorianese Republic.

The Malorianese Republic (1942-1945)

The Malorianese Republic, established and installed by both Nazi Germany and the French State, was a puppet state led by Oberst Heinrich Laissez. Oberst Laissez, as the de facto Malorianese head of state, set new laws that were in similarity to the National Socialist model Nazi Germany was promoting. All political parties, excluding the Malorianese Renaissance Party, were banned. Those that were deemed to be political threats and/or "undesirables" to the newly established regime were to be either sent to Germany to face a punishment of hard labor within Nazi Germany's many concentration camps or were executed outright by the Malorianese National Police.

The fascist puppet state had foreign relations only with nations that officially recognized it. These nations included the French State, Nazi Germany, the Kingdom of Italy, the Empire of Japan, and other Axis Powers nations. Laissez, as head of state of the Malorian Islands under Axis occupation, adopted the term "Le Patron" (meaning boss in French) to identify his new leadership role as the head of state of the Malorian Islands.

While Patron Laissez ruled the Malorian Islands as a dictator, resistance pipelines were already forming. The Malorian Popular Front, a left-wing Marxist-Leninist rebel army formed in 1936 to combat the social democratic government of LeMonde, temporarily ended its policy of class warfare in favor of working with other resistance groups within the Malorian Islands. This included the Free Malorian Army and the Malorian National Guard-in exile.

On August 12th, 1945, Patron Laissez was assassinated by a MPF-made car bomb after a speech Laissez made an hour before. Crippling the fascist puppet state, the government attempted control before being overthrown on September 7th, 1945 by joint British-American forces during Operation Gadsden.
