'''Stenza''', officially The '''Republic of Stenza''', is | '''Stenza''', officially The '''Republic of Stenza''', is a [[Polynesian]] island country in [[Australis]]. It does not have any land borders, although the [[Escal Isles]] lie just off its eastern coast. Its capital and largest city is Rakahanga. | ||
Stenza was originally populated by several [[Polynesian]] tribes. These tribes were spread all along the island, living off the land and occasionally fighting each other for more land, a unified government did not however exist. This situation persisted until [[Corumm]] discovered and colonized the island in 1671. The following colonial era saw Stenzan society develop from its tribal roots into a more modern puppet state, ending in a brief period of semi-self governance during the early 20th century. A bloody [[Stenzan War of Independence|war]] between Stenzan freedom fighters and the Corumm-aligned government followed between 1919 and 1921, resulting in a Corummese retreat from the Island. An internal [[struggle for power]] followed Stenzan Independence, ending with the rise to power of the [[Stenzan People's Party]]. The party had total control over the nation from 1923 until 2022, with the country being largely isolated from the rest of the world. This changed when the [[Stenzan revolution]] removed the Party from power and paved the way for the Republic to form. | |||
