Region: Greater Dienstad

Tangatarehua wrote:Hello everyone. I've lurking here for a while and have been meaning to discuss the history and canon of my nation and how it fits in with the regional lore. (I was meaning to do this months ago but was delayed by adverse circumstances in my personal life.)

I'm looking to slightly tweak the history of Tangatarehua and looking for people who might be willing to jump in.

Three things I need:

1. A western colonial power who would have attempted to colonise (and introduce Christianity to) Tangatarehua at the end of the 18th century, but who were surprisingly defeated in 1803 by a nation who at the time were thought to be culturally and racially inferior.

2. A coalition of probably democratic nations who thwarted Tangatarehua's attempts at building an empire in the 1950s. Probably someone or multiple someones who were (ultimately, unsuccessfully) invaded by Tangatarehua in this period.

3. This would be the most complicated one: I need someone who was an ally of Tangatarehua in the 1970s but was invaded or attacked by a third country, leading to Tangatarehua defending them but in the process committing atrocities so severe that they were forced to take the blame for a war they never started. On the back of this I'll need a large western-style democracy (or coalition of several) who occupied Tangatarehua between 1979 and 1982 and helped subjugate it into a peace-loving democracy.

Up until now I've been using real life nations as stand-ins for Tangatarehua's history, but I'd prefer to have my history linked in with the rest of the regional canon and lore where possible.

If this sounds like something you could help with, let me know. And if you have questions or other ideas, also let me know.

I'm very interested, especially as a socialist country that is democratic.
