History
Étoile Verte [Green star] was founded in 1790. France and other countries conquered most of the Caribbean, in 1680. Since Étoile Verte had its own culture, manners, currency, etc., they decided to do a referendum if the islands should or not be free. One was made in 1750,but ignored. In 1790, another referendum happened, and people voted for the independence of islands.

Dictatorship
The dictatorship happened from the period of 1910 to 1928. The feared "Great Caribbean Depression" was happening, economies from Caribbean islands were horrible, countries were about to collapse. The population was desperate, so they picked Bravo Gonzales, as a dictator. He killed thousands, since those did not want them as leader of Étoile Vertian republic. In 1928, he was killed, and direct elections were made. The current leader of Étoile Verte is Renato Chavoy, elected in 2011.

Great Caribbean Depression
The G.C.D. was a economic crisis in the Caribbean islands and northern Latin America countries. Importation and Exportation crashed in the period of 1905 and 1920. Small countries collapsed, and colonies were set up on the unclaimed islands.

Economy
Most of the income comes from rural activities, fishing and importations/exports, since Étoile is one of the biggest fish exporters worldwide. The economy passed through crisis twice.

Étoilian Colonies

The Great Caribbean War
T.G.C. was a war that happened in 1930, that led multiple countries to attack each other. The war killed almost 600K people. It ended up with Étoile losing a part of Haiti.
