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 the Home Islands at the confluence of the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]] and the [[Pacific Ocean]] and the Kohatu Isles which form the boundary of the Morstaybishlian Sea and [[Caven Sea]]. Its closest neighbours are [[Peregrinia]] and the [[Morstaybishlian West Pacific Territories]]. In a compact area of 50,000 square kilometres, the islands are home to diverse geographical landscapes, climactic conditions and biodiversity.

Its closest neighbours are [[Peregrinia]] and the [[Morstaybishlian West Pacific Territories]]. In a compact area of 50,000 square kilometres, the islands are home to diverse geographical landscapes, climactic conditions and biodiversity.


The islands were inhabited by modern humans for thousands of years. Early humans sailed on primitive vessels and spread throughout the Southwest Pacific Ocean and Morstaybishlian Seas, establishing the Polynesian civilization. Around 1000 CE, Ahua the Great united the bronze age Polynesian people of the Home Islands and formed the Oan Isles. The Kohatu Isles were inhabited by unstable Polynesian settlements and were often at the whims of larger Yasterian and Auroran civilization. Around the late 19th century, the Oan Isles lost nearly a third of its territory to Great Morstaybishlia. The nation rebuilt itself in the early 20th century. The Oan Isles was part of the Allied powers in 2017 [[Auroran-Pacific War]], emerging bruised but victorious. In late 2017, the Oan Isles annexed the Kohatu Isles and helped the Kohatu Democratic Movement overthrow the Diamond Authority that ruled them.

In 26 May 2017, the Al Jaheed attacked Yor and hacked Cafe Net servers in La Rochelle. They virtually shut down the Cafe Net system for much of the world. The scope and impact of the attack led to general alarm about the Al Jaheed's technical expertise, resources and ability to inflict serious damage on Oan interest. On the same day, the Al Jaheed bombed a part of the National Security Service headquarters. Although the damage was quickly repaired, it led to a desire to engage more aggressively with the Al Jaheed. On May 27, 2017, Emperor, Ehe, received the Blue Medal from Kuthernburg on behalf of the brave actions of the Oan armed forces.

This attack was particularly damaging because it damaged the Oan Isles voting infrastructure. The Oan Isles had been a direct democracy that had used an online application to give everyone in the nation the power to vote over laws. The terrorist who conducted the attack was arrested. It was Muttar Mimahid. This attack deeply hurt the nation but led it to support the former Emperor, Ehe I (known as Ese Ulua to non-Oans).

A state of emergency was declared and he was granted sweeping powers to deal with the threat that Al Jaheed posed. On 28 May 2017, [[Tipene Rahua]], the former Ambassador of the Oan Isles to the Auroran Continental Assembly, submitted a report to the ACA outlining the threat that Al Jaheed posed and the assertive response that was needed to deal with it and criticised the ACA for failing to act effectively on the matter. On behalf of the Emperor, he declared that the Oan Isles would invade the Yor Isles (where the Al Jaheed was apparently located and operating from).<ref>''Al Jeehad in Yor.''

On June 8, 2017, assassins from Ethalria killed Thadeus, King of Horales and Crown Prince of Staynes. The attack sent shockwaves throughout the world and further fixed Oan resolve against the Axis powers.<ref>''A Call to Arms''.

The Oans undertook a diplomatic assault on Stratarin to isolate and weaken them. On June 12, 2017, the Oan Isles imposed sanctions on Stratarin. When asked for reasons for this action, the Oan Isles cited the alleged coup d'etat, the relegation of SEPC laws and other reasons, and imposed further conditions on Stratarin. These were deflected by the Stratarians. The diplomatic tensions culminated in the resignation of Fyodr Lyvov, Minister for Foreign Affairs for Stratarin two days later. Tretrid supported the Oan demands.

On June 18, 2017, Ehe I (also known as Ese Ulua) called the leaders of four Atlantian countries to a meeting in La Rochelle to ask for assistance for the war. Mister Leader II of Mexregiona, Bartholomew Smith of Tretrid, King Calvin I of the Atlae Isles and Queen Naomi II of Kuthernburg attended and resolved to lend help. Monoherra Markka IV of Asian Pacific Islands attended as an observer.

Another war erupted in Atlantia when various rogue states and former members of the Atlae Isles attempted to cede from the country and join sides with the Axis powers. Only Kuthernburg was eventually able to lend a hand. On 24 June, 2017, an Oan task force was sent to assist Kostoria-Obertonia. On the next day, troops were flown into North Yor as part of an assault to reclaim the islands from the Xagrurgian Republic.

On June 29, 2017, the Oan soldiers took the Rob Matterson Military Hospital in the capital of the Yor Isles. On June 30, 2017, Kuthern and Oan forces failed to take an airbase. On July 10, 2017, a part of the capital city of Yor was successfully taken. On July 11, 2017, the Oans had failed to take a powerplant and 80 soldiers were killed. This caused a great political stir in the Oan Isles. On 15 July, during the Coronation of the Asendavian Kaiser, the new Emperor, Oahoanu, spoke to Erwin Pipua, and they agreed to end the war. On July 16, the Kutherns began the process to declare a ceasefire. On the same day, the Oan soldiers evacuated out of the area. Of the 7,000 soldiers deployed there, 700 men were killed.

On July 17, 2016, a commission of inquiry was set up to investigate Oan involvement in the war. It mostly cleared the Oan government of guilt. On 20 July 2017, Maui Uye-Ahua submitted a petition for a referendum on the autonomy of the Noan Isles (also known as Konoa in the Oan language).

The Oan Isles was bitter that despite the Allied victory over the Axis powers, Xagrurg was not punished. The Oan government felt that the Auroran Continental Assembly had lost its legitimacy and usefulness. It invited Allied countries to a conference in Sani Bursil to form the Auroran Union,<ref>Rahua, Tipene. 2017. ''Conference on the Auroran Union''. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/auroran-union-t3513.html#p186617</ref> a short-lived political, economic and military alliance among Allied states of Aurora. The United Kingdom, Tivot, Tuvaltastan, Blueacia and the Yor Isles agreed to the invitation while Axdel and Emberwood Coast had their apprehensions.

Mass protests from university student-led organisations convinced many Allied countries to view the new alliance in a negative light. They felt that the Auroran Union would entrench post-War divisions and diminish the ability for the Allies to maintain peace throughout out the continent. Moreover the new Union would disrupt free trade, freebtravel and peace. The nations decided to terminate the Auroran Union.
