In 1894, the entire island was annexed by GAAC. Their rule was authoritarian, controlling prices, regulating immigration, and monopolizing trade. The company started buying and expanding large sugar and tobacco plantations near the coast. To escape GAAC rule, the Insulares in the north started the [[Gran Marcha]], a mass migration inland and claimed arable lands. The discovery of gold in Mountain Province created a rush, attracting both Insulares and Anglian settlers to the center of the island. Violent Tagabay resistance to the rushers escalated into the 4-year Boondok Rebellion, starting in 1896 and ending in 1900. In 1901, the island was annexed the [[Great Anglia|Anglian]] government. The [[Treaty of Godstone]] incorporated the Insulares and Iverican settlements into the new colony under the name "Equatorial Alharu."

The [[Treaty of Godstone]] incorporated the Insulares and Iverican settlements into the new colony under the name "Equatorial Alharu."


In 1916, the colony was granted self-rule. [[Andrés Soriano Sr.]], an Insulares mining mogul, become the first elected prime minister of Nayonland. Suffrage was limited to the male, wealthy, and educated [[principalía]] (Insulares and Tagabay elite) and Anglian residents, excluding much of the native Tagabays. A series of Tagabay-led plantation and mine revolts in the early 1920s forced the Insulares and Anglian peoples to adopt segregationist policies in an attempt to control the violence. In 1934, a new constitution allowed greater Tagabay representation, granting power to the emerging native middle classes. It reserved the [[Council of State (Nayonland)#Legislative Council|Legislative Council]], the new upper house in the expanded bicameral [[Batasan Pambansa#Legislative Assembly|Legislative Assembly]], to majority Tagabay and Alharun minority membership. It enabled the election of [[Datu Manuel Koe-sun]], a Nayongan-Fulgistani noble, leader of the Progresista Party. It was the largest opposition party from 1935 to 1945, when its members split. The pro-colony Anglian and Principalía factions founded the [[United Empire Movement]] (UEM). The nationalist Tagabay faction joined the [[Katipunan ng Manggagawag Katagalugan|Katipunan ng Manggagawag Katagabayon]] (KMK).

The country experienced great economic growth in the 1950s. The expansion of social services, especially healthcare and education, increased living standards and literacy. Existing roads and rails were expanded to connect the growing number of industrial and mining towns. This prompted the prosperous Insulares and Anglian upper and middle classes to expand cities, build suburbs in extended city limits, and buy up real estate in the surrounding countryside. This often involved the forced displacement of Tagabays, who lived in the peripherals of urban centers. Many of them could not afford to buy property, which led to the proliferation of shantytowns infamously known as "boondoks. Although segregation was not enshrined in law, it has become commonplace in all sectors of society. Its institutionalization has been supported by the [[Nacionalista Party]], the colony's ruling party since self-rule. They are mostly made up of Insulares principalía.

Student riots in the early 1960s demanded the end of segregation. This prompted the Nacionalistas to start power-sharing negotiations with the [[Council of Elders]], the governing body of all Tagabay tribes, and the KMK.
Student riots in the early 1960s demanded the end of minority rule and segregation. This prompted the Nacionalistas to start power-sharing negotiations with the [[Council of Elders]], the governing body of all Tagabay tribes, and the KMK. A constitutional conference was proposed to compile the agreed provisions for the final draft, but the Anglian government insisted on a constitutional convention that represents all citizens of Nayonland. The disagreements between the Anglian and Nacionalista governments created a deadlock, causing the civil unrest to continue. Six, consecutive Nacionalista governments collapsed, none lasting the Legislative Assembly's five-year term. In 1974, Governor Lord William Fertig appointed Sir Creighton Virata to lead a coalition government of pro-convention Nacionalista defectors, the KMK, and the UEM. They scheduled the elections for the 1976 constitutional convention. It was marred by violence, vote-buying, and the assassination of Lord Fertig. The convention elections were suspended indefinitely. In 1979, the Nacionalistas returned to power under Esther Suárez.
 
To restore public order, Governor Daniel Beams proclaimed martial law at the request of the new government. Suárez directed the [[Royal Nayonlander Constabulary]] to arrest anti-government activist leaders, KMK politicians, and journalists deemed by her [[Anti-Terrorism Council]] as "enemies of the state." In 1981, the National Renewal Scheme was introduced. Its aims included the removal of boondok settlements and the forced relocation of Tagabay squatters. It was met with mass protests. The brutal quelling by the RNC led to more than 1,500 people dead. In the Battle of Cementerio del Norte, 100 squatter residents and 20 RNC officers were killed in the clearing operations. In total, 600,000 squatters were relocated.
 
In 1984, the Anglian parliament passed the Nayonland Independence Act. A transition period of 10 years was going to occur before independence to allow more time for the Anglian and colonial governments to prepare Nayonland's economy. It scheduled elections in 1985 for a constitutional convention the following year. It was the first Nayongan election held with full suffrage. The new constitution introduced majority rule, the prohibition of racial segregation, and a proportional representation system in the legislature. In 1987, the constitution was approved by 64% in a national referendum. It never came into force due to the Terranayano Declaration of Independence.
 
Martial law continued in a period called the [[Reign of Terror]] between 1989 and 2010. Public criticism of the government was criminalized. More than 1,200 people disappeared. As a temporary solution to growing unemployment, the Terranayano government incentivized [[Overseas Tagabay Worker|Overseas Tagabay Workers]] (OTW), negotiating with foreign governments to deploy skilled workers, and improving technical vocation education, marketing Terranayon as a "human-resource rich" country. The country experienced rapid brain drain and the Tagabay population shrunk from 80% in 1989 to 75% in 2005. There are nearly 1.2 million OTWs around the world.
 
In 2016, Terranayon was invaded by Great Anglia. The 1934 Constitution was restored until the enactment of the [[Nayonland Transitional Government]], which finally establish majority rule in Nayonland in 2019. The provisional constitution provided an indefinite period of transition under an Anglian royal dominion. In 2020, Anglian aggression and invasion in the [[Grand War]] prompted the NTG to distance itself from the Anglian government, dropping the colonial flag and emblem of Equatorial Alharu.

Nayonland, initially the "Dominion of Nayonland" from its establishment in 2019 until 2020, is an Anglian royal dominion in Alharu. The territory comprises Turtle Island, separated from the mainland continent by the Turtle Sea to the northwest and the Synthe Sea to the west. The capital city, Tondo, was the first colonial settlement in the island founded in 1608 by Miguel de Legazpi, the Stillian commander of the Fleet of San Miguel, during the Gran Viatge. They become the progenitors of the Insulares people. They were joined by the settlers of San Lazaro in 1759, the first Iverican colony in Nayonland.

The island is mountainous, with its tallest peak Mt. Bernardo Carpio located near the geographical center of the island, in the eastern region of Namayan. The settlement of the Insulares and Iverican people drove the native Tagabay people away from the coast, relocating in the island's valleys, the largest being Marikina Valley in Mountain Province, Nayonland's main mining region. Much of the nation's farms and industrial areas span the coastal region. Its second largest seaport, Batangan, is situated in the Southern Shore province, the historical Anglian colonial center. The provincial capital was founded in 1854 as a supply port of the Great Anglia Equatorial Alharu Company (GAAC) to facilitate trade with the western hemisphere.

In 1894, the entire island was annexed by GAAC. Their rule was authoritarian, controlling prices, regulating immigration, and monopolizing trade. The company started buying and expanding large sugar and tobacco plantations near the coast. To escape GAAC rule, the Insulares in the north started the Gran Marcha, a mass migration inland and claimed arable lands. The discovery of gold in Mountain Province created a rush, attracting both Insulares and Anglian settlers to the center of the island. Violent Tagabay resistance to the rushers escalated into the 4-year Boondok Rebellion, starting in 1896 and ending in 1900. In 1901, the island was annexed the Anglian government. The Treaty of Godstone incorporated the Insulares and Iverican settlements into the new colony under the name "Equatorial Alharu."

In 1916, the colony was granted self-rule. Andrés Soriano Sr., an Insulares mining mogul, become the first elected prime minister of Nayonland. Suffrage was limited to the male, wealthy, and educated principalía (Insulares and Tagabay elite) and Anglian residents, excluding much of the native Tagabays. A series of Tagabay-led plantation and mine revolts in the early 1920s forced the Insulares and Anglian peoples to adopt segregationist policies in an attempt to control the violence. In 1934, a new constitution allowed greater Tagabay representation, granting power to the emerging native middle classes. It reserved the Legislative Council, the new upper house in the expanded bicameral Legislative Assembly, to majority Tagabay and Alharun minority membership. It enabled the election of Datu Manuel Koe-sun, a Nayongan-Fulgistani noble, leader of the Progresista Party. It was the largest opposition party from 1935 to 1945, when it was dissolved due to intense infighting. The pro-colony Anglian and Principalía factions founded the United Empire Movement (UEM). The nationalist Tagabay faction joined the Katipunan ng Manggagawag Katagabayon (KMK).

The country experienced great economic growth in the 1950s. The expansion of social services, especially healthcare and education, increased living standards and literacy. Existing roads and rails were expanded to connect the growing number of industrial and mining towns. This prompted the prosperous Insulares and Anglian upper and middle classes to expand cities, build suburbs in extended city limits, and buy up real estate in the surrounding countryside. This often involved the forced displacement of Tagabays, who lived in the peripherals of urban centers. Many of them could not afford to buy property, which led to the proliferation of shantytowns infamously known as "boondoks. Although segregation was not enshrined in law, it has become commonplace in all sectors of society. Its institutionalization has been supported by the Nacionalista Party, the colony's ruling party since self-rule. They are mostly made up of Insulares principalía.

Student riots in the early 1960s demanded the end of minority rule and segregation. This prompted the Nacionalistas to start power-sharing negotiations with the Council of Elders, the governing body of all Tagabay tribes, and the KMK. A constitutional conference was proposed to compile the agreed provisions for the final draft, but the Anglian government insisted on a constitutional convention that represents all citizens of Nayonland. The disagreements between the Anglian and Nacionalista governments created a deadlock, causing the civil unrest to continue. Six, consecutive Nacionalista governments collapsed, none lasting the Legislative Assembly's five-year term. In 1974, Governor Lord William Fertig appointed Sir Creighton Virata to lead a coalition government of pro-convention Nacionalista defectors, the KMK, and the UEM. They scheduled the elections for the 1976 constitutional convention. It was marred by violence, vote-buying, and the assassination of Lord Fertig. The convention elections were suspended indefinitely. In 1979, the Nacionalistas returned to power under Esther Suárez.

To restore public order, Governor Daniel Beams proclaimed martial law at the request of the new government. Suárez directed the Royal Nayonlander Constabulary to arrest anti-government activist leaders, KMK politicians, and journalists deemed by her Anti-Terrorism Council as "enemies of the state." In 1981, the National Renewal Scheme was introduced. Its aims included the removal of boondok settlements and the forced relocation of Tagabay squatters. It was met with mass protests. The brutal quelling by the RNC led to more than 1,500 people dead. In the Battle of Cementerio del Norte, 100 squatter residents and 20 RNC officers were killed in the clearing operations. In total, 600,000 squatters were relocated.

In 1984, the Anglian parliament passed the Nayonland Independence Act. A transition period of 10 years was going to occur before independence to allow more time for the Anglian and colonial governments to prepare Nayonland's economy. It scheduled elections in 1985 for a constitutional convention the following year. It was the first Nayongan election held with full suffrage. The new constitution introduced majority rule, the prohibition of racial segregation, and a proportional representation system in the legislature. In 1987, the constitution was approved by 64% in a national referendum. It never came into force due to the Terranayano Declaration of Independence.

Martial law continued in a period called the Reign of Terror between 1989 and 2010. Public criticism of the government was criminalized. More than 1,200 people disappeared. As a temporary solution to growing unemployment, the Terranayano government incentivized Overseas Tagabay Workers (OTW), negotiating with foreign governments to deploy skilled workers, and improving technical vocation education, marketing Terranayon as a "human-resource rich" country. The country experienced rapid brain drain and the Tagabay population shrunk from 80% in 1989 to 75% in 2005. There are nearly 1.2 million OTWs around the world.

In 2016, Terranayon was invaded by Great Anglia. The 1934 Constitution was restored until the enactment of the Nayonland Transitional Government, which finally establish majority rule in Nayonland in 2019. The provisional constitution provided an indefinite period of transition under an Anglian royal dominion. In 2020, Anglian aggression and invasion in the Grand War prompted the NTG to distance itself from the Anglian government, dropping the colonial flag and emblem of Equatorial Alharu.
