North Devia is an American satellite founded in the wake of the Second World War. The island was originally one of the many in the Solomon Archipelago that was torn apart by combat between the United States and Japan. At the outset of the war, the island was used as an Imperial Japanese base. The islands occupants quickly constructed an advanced system of underground bunkers in which the entire island garrison could survive undetected. As the Americans drew closer in 1943, an increasing number of convoys were being sent to the island to reinforce the men there, which alerted prowling American submarines of the island’s occupants. During the Battle of Guadalcanal, which was fought only one hundred miles distant, special American marine forces were sent ashore to dig out the island’s garriso

  • North Devia is an American satellite founded in the wake of the Second World War. The island was originally one of the many in the Solomon Archipelago that was torn apart by combat between the United States and Japan. At the outset of the war, the island was used as an Imperial Japanese base. The islands occupants quickly constructed an advanced system of underground bunkers in which the entire island garrison could survive undetected. As the Americans drew closer in 1943, an increasing number of convoys were being sent to the island to reinforce the men there, which alerted prowling American submarines of the island’s occupants. During the Battle of Guadalcanal, which was fought only one hundred miles distant, special American marine forces were sent ashore to dig out the island’s garrison. After the conclusion of the Battle of Guadalcanal, the island was named North Devia (being North of Guadalcanal and providing a hideout for the devious Japanese garrison) and quickly utilized as a base for American naval operations. Since the end of the war, the United States has maintained a strong naval base on the island. In 1947, the island was granted independence as a sovereign nation. Prior to the war, there had been no native peoples, however, all manner of people came from across the world to live as a new nation. The population is heavily Australian and American, though there are almost an equal number of Asians and South Pacific natives. Due to its string ties to the United States, North Devia has emerged as an American satellite; it is literally a model of America located in the South Pacific on a smaller scale under a different name. The nation is heavily funded and given aid by America, allowing it to possess modern technology on both civilian and militant scales that can rival that of first word powers, though its overall strength due to small size is taken into consideration.
