Republic of Samoa

Independent Samoa is Bahamutman's kazillionth Secondary Nation.

Etymology
No need to explain the name, really.

History
In 2059, the USA told American Samoa they would hold a referendum in 2060 for American Samoa's independence, due to American Samoans expressing an interest in the subject. In 2060, the American Samoans voted in favor of yes. American Samoa became independent, and demilitarized. But then a conflict rose up.

Unification Conflict
The islanders were divided- some wanted to unify with Samoa, and some wanted to stay independent. Samoa began to militarily support the Pro-Samoan rebels, who then named themselves the Unification Armada. The United States of America noticed what was happening, and sent soldiers to Independent Samoa to help the Pro-Independence rebels win. They eventually did, and the conflicts ended.

Geography
Independent Samoa has many beaches, and has a landscape similar to many other Oceanic countries.

Relations
Independent Samoa is a member of the United Nations, as well as NATO.

Enemies
None yet.

Languages
Samoan is the Official language of the Independent Republic of Samoa, although English is still widely spoken on the islands after American rule.

Military
The Independent Republic of Samoa is an entirely demilitarized country, but a large amount of the population owns a weapon of some sort, so they could fend off possible invaders while reinforcements from the USA were to arrive.

Travel Permissions
Indasamoans can travel wherever they want to. Their usual destinations are the USA, New Zealand or Australia.

By Land
Not a lot of citizens own cars due to the low amount of roads in the country, but taxis are common in cities.

By Air
American airlines are the only airlines that operate in the country, because the Independent Republic of Samoa doesn't have any airlines of its own.

By Sea
Almost everyone owns a boat. It is extremely rare to see a house without a boat. Because of this, fishing is a major industry.

Television
American shows are the main shows watched in the Independent Republic of Samoa, subbed in Samoan, but there is a small amount of Samoan TV networks broadcast as well.

Sports
The Independent Republic has an Olympics team, but also has something interesting- Stadiums that allow people to create their own sports teams, and play against other people's teams. Visiting one is free of charge, but buying food from these stadiums does cost money.
