Holuzia

The Republic of Holuzia, also known as Holuzia, is a nation located in Australia and Oceania. It is the secondary nation of CJets.

European Discovery and British Rule
Although Holuzia is rumoured to be discovered by the Portuguese in the 1520s the Dutch, in the 1600s, these theories lack enough evidence to support them. The first historically accurate discovery of Holuzia was in 1770 when British explorer James Cook landed on the east coast. After the discovery of Holuzia, the British began to set up a colony, called it New South Wales, and was later renamed to Holuzia as it expanded.

Holuzian War of Independence
After over 120 years of British rule, the Holuzians had enough of being under the rule of the British Empire. The Holuzians peacefully tried to become their own separate republic three times, once in 1893, once in 1896, and once in 1898. Britain rejected the demands of the Holuzians every time, which angered the Holuzians.

After three failed attempts, Holuzians began rebelling against the British. On October 13, 1898, the Holuzian Declaration of Independence was signed in Brisbane, between Holuzian leaders and military generals. The British did not recognize the Declaration of Independence, and declared war on Holuzia. The Holuzians, already rebelling agianst the British, were much stronger than the British Army, and so in November of 1903, the British surrendered.

The treaty of Brisbane was signed on November 30, 1903, which resulted in Britain recognizing Holuzia's independence. The city of Brisbane would also be renamed to Pakaru, which is Maori for "broken", representing how the British reign over Holuzia being broken.

World War II to Present Day
Holuzia's relationship with Britain was very stale up until World War II, when Holuzia and Britain both agreed to set aside their differences and fight the Axis Powers together. This actually resulted in Britain and Holuzia becoming close allies.

On February 3, 1947, Holuzia purchased the southern island from New Zealand for $88 million.

Today, Holuzia is an economic powerhouse with close relations to the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and the European Union.
