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 Farcoise 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.
