The Massaceunes (translations), officially known as the Free Commonwealth of the Massaceunes (translations) is a unitary state loated in the !Caribbean in Elia Borealis. It a archipelgo nation that shares a maritime border with Sampree, X, X and X. Despite its status as a unitary state, the country is divided up into 8 autonomous island districts known officially as counties with each enjoy extensive administrative powers. The capital is the planned settlement Oddmund City, while its capital is Port-of-Peace which hosts 60% of the country's population.
Prior to Calesian colonization it was inhabited by [Insert Indigenous group] tribes. [...]
The archipelgo fell under the ownership of the TBA in 17XX following the conclusion of the !Anglo-Dutch Wars, where it became a major hub of Transmedan piracy. Under company control the archipelgo was partially resettled by Hylasian slaves as well as indigenous indentured servents from Northern Elia Austral to work on sugarcane plantations, who quickly came to make up the majority of the island's inhabitants. Following X's defeat in the Twelve Years' War the archipelgo was one of the few colonies kept under its control, but due to the war's heavy toll on state finances was forced to sell off the territory to the Waldish Eastern Trading Company in 17XX. With the abolition of the slavery trade in 18XX, the archipelgo was quickly transformed into a safe haven for freemen and the manumission of Hylasian slaves. Waldish control saw to economy pivot towards industries, with Port-of-Peace serving as a commercial hub for merchants, privateers and the Royal Navy, leading to its classification as an imperial fortress in 18XX and one of Waldrich's most vital naval and military bases in the Eastern Hemisphere, with substantial investment being placed in the XXX Naval Dockyards especially following the Great War.
The colony was never under formal Waldish sovereignty, but instead was wholly and completely owned by the Waldish Eastern Trading Company well into the 20th century. The nation's substantial losses during the Transmedan War and the X Scandal led to substantial negotiations between the company an the government over nationalisation and formal incorporation into Waldrich as an overseas territory. Talks broke down in 195X when the parliament opted to vote on forma nationalisation and annexation in parliament. However, before voting on the bill could commence the local Massaceunite elite pressured the company to declare the territory as a sovereign state. Metropolitan outcry against this measure led to the XXX Crisis which saw Waldrich unilaterally sanctioning the island. While this caused substantial disruption to the Massaceunite economy during the 1960s, closer economic ties with Coshaqua and the Free States aided in diversifying export locations and the provision of foreign aid. Under XXX leadership in 197X, the country took an increasingly dirigiste interventions into the domestic economy, pivoting it away from tourism and agricultural goods. Increased tensions during the Deluge and discovery of oil deposits in 198X led to increased investment and a greater military presence on the island as it became a forward operating base for various major powers in the Serial world, leading to the economy's rejuvenation. The the Massaceunite Public Investment Fund wa established to manage the country's windfall budgetary revenues in energy and military base contracting, which proceeded to use its financial financial assets to invest in overseas securities and assets while providing domestic funding to businesses and multinational joint ventures. Extensive economic liberalization, the abolition of both income and corporate taxes, and the implementation of various business friendly commercial laws led to the rapid growth of the the Massaceunite financial sector which quickly became one of the largest in the Eastern hemisphere and diversifying the economy towards business and financial services, with many considering it a prominent offshore financial centre and tax haven today.
