  • The Corporate Republic of Haiti, or simply just Haiti, is a small nation located on the island of Hispaniola, bordering its only neighbor, the Dominican Republic. Haiti is home to more than 9.7 million people, though it lost some 10,000 is a recent earthquake that devestated rural parts of the country. The total area of Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) and its capital is Port-au-Prince. Haiti was the first black-led republic in the world after its independence from France in 1804, though its economy and population suffered greatly in its several civil wars. As of 2004, Haiti is the property of the mega-corporation, Pravus International. Purchased from the Haitian people themselves, Haiti was given to Pravus International by way of an air-tight contract in which country would hand over its independence to Pravus in exchange for monatery and industrial aid, as well as security from potential enemies in Latin America. Haitian-born and raised Marcelle Delaroux took over the nation, and through the effort of her company, Celeste Cosmetics, a subsidary of Pravus International, transformed Haiti into thriving regional power over the course of eight years. Since then, however, her rule has become extremely autocratic, and though the people dislike her for it, they are caught at a legal impass. Though under the firm control of Pravus International, the international community has demanded that Pravus let Haiti go, though Pravus has refused to budge given the binding contract signed and agreed upon by the Haitians themselves, making them legally accountable to Pravus, who bears the right to use lethal force if any attempts to forcibly void the contract are attempted. Regardless, Haiti far removed from the terrible past it once had, and with a major economy and growing population, Haiti is bound to surpass its return to its former glory, once the world's wealthiest nation.
