Poivere is an island nation in the north Pacific Ocean. It is a liberal-conservative parliamentary democracy and unitary republic. Its current president is Angelina Mermen. It has a population of around 50 million people, as of 2022.
Poivere had no known Indigenous (pre-European) inhabitants. In the 1700s it was discovered by a number of differnet British explorers, but none claimed the island for Britain, due to its isolation, lack of useful raw materials (aside from trees and copper)-or so it was thought-and abundance of dangerous megafauna. However, in 1849, French explorer Rene Dudon came upon it again and decided to claim it for France. The first boat full of French settlers came in 1853. Over the next 50 years, around 500,000 more also came. Poivere's early period was one when it was trying to figure out its national identity. In the early 1900s, the idea first emerged to turn Poivere into a pan-Latin nation, welcoming Frenchmen, Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians and Romanians, while keeping the French language and politcs dominant. This idea proved to be popular, so it was implemented. Only immigrants from Latin-speaking countries (France, Belguim, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Romania) were allowed to immigrate to the country, but Poiverean officials did fish around a lot for immigrants from those countries.
By 1930, the country had a population of around 10 million people. It gained its independence when France partially became a part of the German Reich and partially a puppet state of Nazi Germany in 1941. A constitution was established for the new country and it gained international recognition, siding with the allies in WW2.
