| − | '''History:''' Guam was ceded to the US by Spain in 1898. Captured by the Japanese in 1941, it was retaken by the US three years later. The military installation on the island is one of the most strategically important US bases in the Pacific. In 2010, with the phase out of the US military bases in Okinawa and Japan, Guam becomes an even more important Pacific stronghold. Guam became the military's first and last Pacific post. This saw a swell of military personel and equipment with everything that was stationed in Japan was moved to Diego Garica, Pearl Harbor, San Diego, or Guam. When several of their Japanese industrial sites were destroyed by fires in 2054, Ares Macrotechnology steps back production and sets up shop in Guam (with UCAS approval of course). |

History[]
The United States took control of the island from Spain during the Spanish-American War of 1898, holding on to it apart from a short period of Japanese occupation through the formation of the UCAS up until the mid 2030s. When the UCAS decided to pull all of their forces out of the Pacific a local commander called Admiral Wallis and his supporters refused, joining up with local allies and staying to defend what they regarded as their home.
Admiral Wallis and allies go AWOL during the UCAS pullback to stay behind and defend the island.[1]
Admiral Wallis was originally from Texas and is rumoured to co-operate with the CAS military, allowing them to use it as a friendly base from which to harass local Aztlan interests and monitor nearby shipping channels.[2]
Politics[]
Whilst it is unknown what kind of government the country has, it is intimated that General Wallis and his military supporters maintain a large amount of either direct or indirect influence on the governance of the nation.
Economy[]
As the name suggest Guam Freeport makes a large part of its income operating as a free trade zone and from megacorporate shipping firms and scientific research vessels. It also serves as a refuelling and victualling port of call for ships as well as having a thriving grey and black markets.
Economy is based on megacorporate shipping firms, scientific research vessels, trade and as a port of call for smugglers, pirates and other shadowy types.[1]
