Welcome!

The Democratic Commonwealth of Lirueia is an island nation situated in the northeast portion of the Pacific Ocean. Due to its strategic position and geographical proximity to Asia, it has been colonised by European powers, namely Spain and Great Britain. After centuries of colonial domination, it eventually gained independence in 1901 and became a socialist republic in 1929 when the workers and peasants under proletarian revolutionary leadership managed to topple the tyrannical military junta.

For much of the Cold War, it has been dubbed as the "Cuba of the Pacific", closely allied with the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc until a crisis in the 1970's resulted in a major overhaul of its socialist political and economic system and shifted towards a more independent approach to socialist construction and eventually survived the end of the Cold War. From then on it went on to be an obscure Pacific island to one of the more significant and influential nations in the Asia-Pacific region, with a robust socialised economy and a formidable military force.
