The '''Serene Realm of the Oan Isles''' ([[Wikipedia:Maori language|Oan]]: ''Te Rohe Rangamarie a te Motuere Oa''; [[Wikipedia:IPA|phonetic]]: /ˈoʊɪn/) is an independent island nation. It consists of
Between 1360 BCE and 1580 BCE, the first sapient beings, humans arrived on the Oan Isles. They were remarkably sophisticate and possessed exceptional knowledge of navigation and fishing. Their origins are unclear, but cultural influences from [[Yasteria]] have been identified. Unfortunately due to closer linguistic resemblance with [[Aurora|Central and West Aurora]], it is believed that they may have originated there instead. Between the first and second century CE, a confederation of West Pacific Island nations was formed, which thrived from trade and travel. However, a war between the Whareha and Takeha Kingdoms around 670 led to the Great Scattering wehreby thousands fled to neighbouring islands (mostly perishing or assimilating into other cultures) while those who remained formed the Polynesian civilization from the teachings of Hongaongaiwi.
From 730 CE [[Thaerism|Thaerist]] missionaries arrived bringing their culture and religion from central Aurora. This religion gradually spread and many Kingdoms adopted it. Believing himself to be the chosen hero of [[Mauism|Maui]] the god of the wind and sea, [[Ahua the Great]] united the West Pacific Islands and formed the Oan Isles. He became the founder of [[Mauism]] which is a branch of Thaerism that combined with native religions. The Kohatu Isles were inhabited by unstable Polynesian settlements and were often at the whims of larger Yasterian and Auroran civilizations. In 1855, the [[Morsto-Oan War]] broke out between the Oan Isles and Great Morstaybishlia. The war saw the partition of Koroimoti Island and the ceding of many islands to Great Morstaybishlia, but it formally ended the Polynesian slave trade.
Under Emperor [[Rangitake]] the nation rebuilt, modernised and consolidated itself, with the central bank, the first university and other bodies being established during his reign. During the 13 year [[Great War]] which started in 1914, the Oan Isles became neutral acting as a middle-man between the Imperial and Central Powers, growing wealthy from the trade that arose. The Oan Isles was part of the Allied powers in the 2017 [[Auroran-Pacific War]], emerging bruised but victorious. In November 2017, following a revolution led by the Kohatu Liberation Movement (KLM) on Gemica (now known as the Kohatu Isles), the [[Kohatu War]] broke out between the Diamond Authority and the KLM (supported by the Oan Isles. The Kohatu Isles held a referendum voting to become part of the Oan Isles. Oil was discovered in the Caven Sea and joint exploration with Peregrinia soon began leading to the high rates of economic growth. The country joined and was instrumental in the founding of the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]].
The country is a high-income post-industrial economy administered through free-market socialism that has a nominal GDP of over 785 billion [[Kirib|KRB]] (the 8th largest in the UNAC as of 2021). It is a world leader in information and communication technology (being the seat of [[Cafe Net]] and [[Metatron Corporation|Metatron]], some of the largest corporations by market capitalisation in Aurora among others), and has large banking and tourism sectors. Its capital, [[Tokapa]] is the seat of the [[Auroran Monetary Fund]]. Its government takes place as a unitary parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy. The House of Ahua is one of the oldest monarchies in the world and presides over a highly democratic government, that ranks highly in metrics of governance, economic and political freedoms among world nations. It has enjoyed enduring political stability and economic stability for decades.
