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 2030's. When the UCAS decided to pull all of their forces out of the Pacific a local commander called Admiral Wallace and his supporters refused, joining up with local allies and staying to defend what they regarded as their home.
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.
