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.
History
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)
Reforms under President Dubois
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.
Foreign Relations of the First Republic of the Malorian Islands
Under the Dubois Presidency, he embraced a policy of isolationism and neutrality throughout World War I and the beginning of World War II. Striving for a "Maloria First" policy of domestic and foreign policy, his government and the Malorian Islands focused on the affairs of its citizens rather than get involved with the affairs of other nations.
Interwar Period (1933-1942)
The LeMonde Administration
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.
Invasion of The Malorian Islands
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.
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. While Patron Laissez ruled the Malorian Islands as a dictator, resistance pipelines were already forming. The Malorianese 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 Malorianese National Guard-in exile.
Foreign Relations of the Malorianese Republic
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.
The End of The Malorianese Republic
On August 12th, 1945, the dictator of the Malorianese Republic was assassinated by the Malorianese Resistance (with assistance from both the OSS and the NKVD). Patron Laissez was assassinated by car bomb at approximately 12:05 PM Malorian Islands time after making a speech atop the balcony of the Republican Palace. After his assassination, some remnants of the German Army that weren't yet recalled back to Germany attempted to maintain control of the Malorianese Republic.
The Malorianese Government-in-exile (1942-1945)
After the Malorian Islands were invaded by the Axis Powers, President LeMonde seeked asylum in neutral Costa Rica as a way to "coup-proof" her government-in-exile as well as to maintain nations with both nations within the Allies and the Comintern such as the Second Spanish Republic government-in-exile and the USSR.
Foreign Relations of the Malorianese Government-in-exile
She furthered foreign relations with Allied nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, the French government-in-exile, and the Soviet Union. As President-in-exile she formed her own cabinet consisting of former staff under President Dubois as well as her own administration. With help from the United Kingdom, she was also able to form the Malorianese National Guard-in exile as a resistance movement against the fascist government within the Malorian Islands.
End of WWII In The Malorian Islands
The failed effort to maintain a fascist state within the Caribbean was foiled through the efforts of Allied forces on September 7th, 1945 during Operation Gadsden. The invasion of the Malorian Islands overthrew the fascist dicatorship, abolishing both the fascist government and the Malorianese Renaissance Party as well. President LeMonde was allowed to return two days after the invasion to continue her duties as the President of the Republic.
Post-war Period (1945-1947)
The Second Republic of the Malorian Islands (1945-1947)
After the end of World War II, the country faced near economic collapse as the economy was weakened due to France and Germany took advantage of the Malorian Islands' national goods and supplies. This forced the left-wing rebel group, the Malorian Popular Front, to re-form under the leadership of Evan Gonzales. The Marxist rebel leader and his army, supported by the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, fought the Malorianese National Guard aggressively between late 1945 and early 1947. In early 1947, LeMonde relinquished power and allowed Gonzales and the Malorian Popular Front to take power in the Malorian Islands. LeMonde lived in seclusion after her fall from power, eventually dying in a small village not far from Bordeaux in 1956.
The People's Federal Republic of the Malorian Islands (1947-1953)
Gonzales' Rise to Power
On March 10th, 1947, the LeMonde Administration reached a compromise with the Malorian Popular Front, allowing Veronique LeMonde to step out of power and for Evan Gonzales to lead the Malorian Islands under a socialist government.
