'''Tauranga Puawai''' (sometimes: ''Taranga Puawai'' or ''Turanga'' ''Puawei'' in [[East Pua]]) is a former colony of [[West Pua]] that became independent following the reintegration of the continental Floracracy after the end of the [[Chilled War]]. It is located south of the [[Pua (region)|Pua]] region almost entirely within the [[Amujan Sea]]. To its east is the [[Blighted Shrine]] guardian farm as well as [[Realm of Madness]] and to its south lies [[Latium Regnātum]]. It is part of the [[Land of Chaos]] continental mass.

 It is uncertain when and by whom the archipelago was discovered but it was claimed by [[Pontifex]] [[Skrungk]] for West Pua due to its proximity and the abundance of alliums. It was thought to be the only place alliums grow natively in all of West Pua. Tauranga Puawai became an independent nation led by [[Skrungk]] following the end of the Chilled War.

== Prehistory ==
Tauranga Puwai was formerly a colony of [[West Pua]]. After many months of nonstop construction on the [[Church of the Allium]], the people of West Pua began to grow weary of the “seemingly impossible task” and some citizens began to outright refuse to continue working on the project, stating that the construction was a poor use of West Pua’s manpower. This, combined with the [[Blue Scare]], caused instability and unrest throughout West Pua. This started a coup that exiled the West Puan government to Tauranga Puawai, where they made it an independent nation.

== Government ==
The government of Tauranga Puawai functions as an Absolutist Theocracy, where [[Pontifex]] Skrungk holds power. The Pontifex also has a council of Disciples that help enforce his will, called the Petalage. Disciples of the Petalage are appointed by the Pontifex himself, and can act as an authority for matters that don't need the Pontifex's direct attention. Besides the Petalage, there are 4 major Administrations that work to keep the country running smoothly: The PIP Administration, The Agricultural Administration, The Transportation Administration, and The Defense Administration.

=== The PIP Administration[edit | edit source] ===
The PIP (Puawai Information Protection) Administration is responsible for collecting, analyzing, and protecting intelligence to support national security. They playa vital role in preventing "PIP Violations", where Intelligence could be leaked to enemies if not careful.

=== The Agricultural Administration[edit | edit source] ===
The Agricultural Administration is responsible for regulating farming and animal safety throughout the country, as well as prioritizing wildlife preservation. The Conservation of the Flower Forest is the Administrations main goal.

=== The Transportation Administration[edit | edit source] ===
The Transportation Administration is responsible for building and maintaining the railways that connect the island of Tauranga Puawai. The Transportation Administration is currently working on setting up a local railway network.

=== The Defense Administration[edit | edit source] ===
The Defense Administration is in charge of keeping the citizens of Tauranga Puawai safe from foreign and domestic threats to the TP way of life.

== Religion ==
Tauranga Puawai is a Theocracy, the religion and the government are one. They practice, [[Florism]], a religion based on the worship of the flowers. After the collapse of the [[West Pua]], TP moved away from the worship of the Allium alone, and now worship all flowers. The practice of subsects Florism is welcome as well.

== Economy[edit | edit source] ==
[[File:Taara.png|thumb|West Puan Taara]]
The [[West Puan Taara]] is the official currency of Tauranga Puawai.

'''West Pua''', officially known as the '''Holy''' '''Puan Floracracy''', was a country located south of [[Xarslasja]], north of [[North Amuj]], east of [[Coldba (Cuba)]] and west of [[East Pua]]. The People of West Pua exiled their leader, [[Skrungk]], and his most trusted advisors, to [[Tauranga Puawai]]. After the Coup, the [[FRP]] voted to reintegrate the continental West Puan territory, making the land their own and changing their name to [[Pua]]. Pontifex Skrungk and the his supporters turned Tauranga Puawai into an independent country, and the [[Chilled War]] came to an end.

== Prehistory ==
The Blossomic Empire of Pua was an absolute monarchy encompassing the entirety of the Pua region in the continent of Thasusa. Due to extensive corruption in the government and the people’s dissatisfaction, the citizens of Pua [[Puly Revolution|revolted]] against the king, and he was forced to vacate the throne. A coup following the sudden disappearance of the Puan king preempted violent clashes over who should lead the country, giving rise to the [[The 23 Minute War|Puan Civil war.]]

== Entomology ==
''Due to a clerical error, West Pua has dedicated an excessive amount of resources to the study of bugs instead of the study of words.''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eISteIqdUsY</ref>

West Puan Entomology focuses on research involving the relationship between flowers and pollinators native to the [[Pua (region)|Pua]] region. Studies made by the Agricultural Administration have shown that Bees play a large role in the health of the Puan Ecosystem. West Pua will start to invest further into the acclimation of bees throughout the land.

== History ==

=== Independence ===
After the Puan King was forced to step down, there was heavy controversy over who should fill the position. The two leading factions were unable to agree on how to run their country, and it caused them to split into two separate countries, West and East Pua. The primary reason for the disagreements was because of differences in the religious views of the floral gods, and the West Puans refused to worship a false idol. The third largest faction, a nonconformist group called the Pihitians, also rose. The East Puans in an attempt to cleave unto their control of the Pihitian territories made the false claim that both the East Puan Cornflower and the Pihitian Oxeye Daisy are better than the West Puan Allium.

=== The Chilled War ===
''Main article:'' [[The Chilled War]] 
''Further Information:''[[Floral Curtain]], [[Ŋerlin Wall]]
 
Immediately following the Puan Civil War, the two major powers in the Pua region began separating both diplomatically and physically with the construction of border fortifications and the breakdown of cooperative discussions between East and West Pua.

=== The Scramble for Murbetia ===
On August 22, 2024, the country of [[Murbetia]] dissolved, granting West Pua the opportunity to claim the eastern chunk of [[Scarecrow Harbor]]. This was cause for celebration among the West Puans, as they had finally resecured a piece of their mainland that had been missing for so long.

While this was happening, [[East Pua]] claimed a large section of land to their East. [[Pontifex]] Skrungk commented on the East Puan Annexations, stating "The East Puans took advantage of the Scramble, and annexed ridiculous amounts of land to their eastern border in an attempt to gain an advantage over us." The resulting power imbalance had many West Puans worried about the ever-increasing East Puan threat.

While all this was happening, [[Coldba (Cuba)]] claimed a majority of the Murbetian mainland, as well as several surrounding islands. One of the islands mistakenly claimed was West Pua’s [[Plus One Island]], and it was promptly sold to [[Xarslasja]] along with [[Xar Harbor]] for 1 Slab. West Pua, rather than be angry with their loss of land, took this as an opportunity to strengthen ties with Xarslasja, and proposed a trade – Xarslasja gets Plus One Island, and West Pua gets the Island of [[Peoria]], but both countries keep their water borders. Xarslasja accepted, and the trade was made official on August 24, 2024. When the trade was completed, both Islands names were changed, Plus One Island being renamed to “Bar Harbor” and Peoria being renamed to "Puoria".

=== Tauranga Puawai ===
On September 17th, 2024, West Pua secured [[Tauranga Puawai]], an island to the south, as a colony of West Pua. This land is sanctioned as holy land by the Pontifex, as this is the only known place on [[Ngearth]] where you can acquire Alliums. "Tauranga Puawai is now under the protection of West Pua. We invite people from all around to harvest the flowers here, as they are gifts from the Higher Order. We only as that you keep the island well kept."

=== The Church of the Allium ===
[[File:2024-10-11 15.13.47.png|thumb|Progress of the Church of the Allium as of 10/11/2024]]
Near the end of September 2024, the Pontifex of Pua authorized the construction of the [[Church of the Allium]]. The church is planned to be the largest man made structure in West Pua, a testament to the people's devotion to the Higher Order. Until further notice, most of the country's resources will be put towards the construction of the church until it's completion.

=== The Amujxplosion ===
The [[Amujxplosion]] had a major impact on the West Puan way of life. The most immediate change was the the dissolving of the [[Transpunese Economic Union]], which led to West Pua creating the [[West Puan Taara|Taara]] as a new currency. After multiple land disputes, including East Pua's Order No. 227, [[Casual Mitosis Collective|CMC]] stepped in and announced that the main area of Amuj would be split between East and West Pua, stating that they want the land to stay in Puan hands, but does not want just one of the Puas to have it all. This took affect after the [[2024 Nguhrovision Song Contest]], and until then the land was a protected UNg [[Mandate of Amuj|Mandate,]] enforced by the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]].

The Amujxplosion also sparked the [[Coup Sabah]] in [[Xarslasja]]. West Pua openly supported [[Gu Sabah]] and the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]], because they had been West Pua's greatest supporters during the [[Chilled War]]. [[Pontifex]] [[Skrungk]] commented on this in the [[Pua Takiwā Address]], where he stated that he will do his best to support the coup without escalating the [[Chilled War]], if possible.

After the [[Battle of Flagstaff]], West Pua withdrew their support from the Coup. After witnessing the destruction in Flagstaff, West Pua stated that they "do not endorse that kind of violence and loss of life. We still believe that Agamashuya was a traitor to his values, but this is not how change should happen."

=== Growing Tensions in West Pua ===
After many months of nonstop construction on the [[Church of the Allium]], the people of West Pua began to grow weary of the “seemingly impossible task” and some citizens began to outright refuse to continue working on the project, stating that the construction was a poor use of West Pua’s manpower. This, combined with the [[Blue Scare]], caused instability and unrest throughout West Pua, after which a coup was had that exiled the West Puan government to Tauranga Puawai. This coup, along with the East Puan decision to reintegrate continental West Pua, spelled the end for the Holy Floracracy of Pua.

== Government ==
The government of West Pua functioned as an Absolutist Theocracy, where [[Pontifex]] Skrungk held full power to enact the will of The Allium. The Pontifex also had a council of Disciples that helped enforce his will, called the Petalage. Disciples of the Petalage were appointed by the Pontifex himself, and could act as an authority for matters that didn't need the Pontifex's direct attention. Besides the Petalage, there were 4 major Administrations that worked to keep the country running smoothly; The PIP Administration, The Agricultural Administration, The Transportation Administration, and The Defense Administration.

=== The PIP Administration ===
The PIP (Puan Information Protection) Administration was responsible for collecting, analyzing, and protecting intelligence to support national security. They played a vital role in preventing PIP Violations, where Intelligence could be leaked to enemy countries if not careful. A major goal for the PIP Administration was to root out East Puan Spies. The ever-increasing threat of East Pua led to the [[Blue Scare]], a "national panic and paranoia concerning East Puan Spies living [[wikipedia:Among_Us|among us.]]"

=== The Agricultural Administration ===
The Agricultural Administration was responsible for regulating farming and animal safety throughout the country, as well as prioritizing wildlife preservation. A major project of the Agricultural Administration was to plant Alliums throughout the land of West Pua, so the Allium could be closer to all.
[[File:3 Way Intersection.png|thumb|The West Puan Transportation Administration invented the first three way rail intersection in [[Cenrail]]]]

=== The Transportation Administration ===
The Transportation Administration was responsible for building and maintaining the railways that connected West Pua's cities, as well as the major railways that connected to other countries. The Transportation Administration worked on upgrading the Allium station.

The TA has completed the line connecting Fisete and Idanopolis to [[Tauranga Puawai]], and had invented the three way intersection. The design was heavily simplified due to backlash from [[Cenrail]] enthusiasts.

=== The Defense Administration ===
The Defense Administration was in charge of keeping the citizens of West Pua safe from foreign threats, the main focus having been protection against the East Puan Threat.

== Religion ==
West Pua was a Theocracy, the religion and the government are one. They practice [[Alliumist Florism]], a religion based on the worship of the Allium. After the collapse of the [[Blossomic Empire of Pua]], the Holy Puan Floracracy moved away from [[Florism]], realizing that the Allium was a far more sacred flower than others, and it's guidance built them into what they were.

A subsect of Alliumist Florism, [[Ætérnalist Alliumism]], was practiced in some of the southern regions of West Pua.

== Foreign Relations ==
Due to West Pua having been a militarily weaker, more agrarian nation than its Eastern rivals, West Pua had sought out alliances with neighboring countries to even the playing field. On September 15th, 2024, West Pua applied to join the [[United Ŋations]], which was accepted during the 19th [[UNg]] meeting.

=== East Pua ===
[[East Pua]] and West Pua were rivals, and on opposing sides in the [[Chilled War|Chilled War.]] Relations between the two countries were tense, but there were efforts to deescalate the war so both countries could flourish unhindered.

=== Pihi ===
Because [[Pihi]] is a Puppet State of East Pua, they were also considered rivals of West Pua. However, the West Puan government did not consider Pihi a threat, instead looking at them with a sense of pity.

=== Xarslaja ===
West Pua considered [[Xarslasja]] an ally, and had hoped to maintain that alliance. The August 24th 2024 Island Trade of [[Puoria]] and [[Bar Harbor]] during the [[Scramble for Murbetia]] was a "great step in the right direction" according to Pontifex Skrungk. "Keeping Xarslasja in support of West Pua and our cause will be instrumental in our development as a nation." On September 5th, 2024, West Pua Accepted the offer to build an Embassy in [[Tempe]].

On September 17th, Xarslasja signed the [[South Thasusan Common Market Agreement]] with East Pua, which came as a disappointment to the people of West Pua. This statement was made by the [[Pontifex]], "Xarslasja's economic agreement with East Pua comes as a disappointment to us all, but we will still try our best to keep up strong relations with them. We cannot afford to have Xarslasja as an enemy."

==== Coup Sabah and the Pua Takiwā Address ====
''see the [[Pua Takiwā Address]]''

On October 10th, The [[Coup Sabah]] began, and West Pua announced their full support for the cause. 4 days later, Pontifex Skrungk gave the [[Pua Takiwā Address]], announcing their stance on the coup. [[Gu Sabah]] and the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] are allies to the West Puan cause.

In the Pua Takiwā Address, Pontifex Skrungk talked about hopes for the future of Amuj, East Pua's Order No. 227, and Xarslasja's coup / how the coup may have affected tensions between the Puas.

After the Battle of Flagstaff, West Pua withdrew their support for the Coup. Pontifex Skrungk made this statement on the issue; "After seeing the destruction caused during the Battle of Flagstaff, West Pua will no longer be supporting the Coup in Xarslasja. We do not endorse that kind of violence and loss of life. We still believe that Agamashuya was a traitor to his values, but this is not how change should happen. Our Priority in Xarslasja is to the safety of its people above all else."

=== North Amuj ===
North Amuj was West Pua's neighbor to the south, and a valuable ally. On 10/08/2024, North Amuj dissolved, an event called the Amujxplosion, which left West Pua without an ally or a currency.

== Economy ==
The [[West Puan Taara]] was the official currency of West Pua.
[[File:Taara.png|thumb|The West Puan Taara]]
As a result of the [[Transpunese Economic Union]], West Pua adopted the [[Amujan Geha]] as their national currency. On August 7th, 2024, [[North Amuj|Amuj]] updated their currency to the [[North Amujan Pymu]], a change that West Pua welcomed due to its stronger backing. On October 8th, 2024, the [[Amujxplosion]] left West Pua without a currency and had a devastating impact on the economy. 3 days later, West Pua created the Taara, a new currency to help with West Pua's recovery.

'''West Pua''', officially known as the '''People's Floracracy of Pua''', is a country located south of [[Xarslasja]], north of [[North Amuj]], east of [[Coldba (Cuba)]] and west of [[East Pua]].

== Prehistory ==
The Blossomic Empire of Pua was an absolute monarchy encompassing the entirety of the Pua region in the continent of Thasusa. Due to extensive corruption in the government and the people’s dissatisfaction, the citizens of Pua [[Puly Revolution|revolted]] against the king, and he was forced to vacate the throne. A coup following the sudden disappearance of the Puan king preempted violent clashes over who should lead the country, giving rise to the [[The 23 Minute War|Puan Civil war.]]

=== The Chilled War ===
''Main article:'' [[The Chilled War]] 
''Further Information:''[[Floral Curtain]], [[Ŋerlin Wall]]
 
Immediately following the Puan Civil War, the two major powers in the Pua region began separating both diplomatically and physically with the construction of border fortifications and the breakdown of cooperative discussions between East and West Pua.

=== The Scramble for Murbetia ===
On August 22, 2024, the country of [[Murbetia]] dissolved, granting West Pua the opportunity to claim the eastern chunk of [[Scarecrow Harbor]]. This was cause for celebration among the West Puans, as they had finally resecured a piece of their mainland that had been missing for so long.

The resulting power imbalance had many West Puans worried about the ever-increasing East Puan threat.

While all this was happening, [[Coldba (Cuba)]] claimed a majority of the Murbetian mainland, as well as several surrounding islands. One of the islands mistakenly claimed was West Pua’s [[Plus One Island]], and it was promptly sold to [[Xarslasja]] along with [[Xar Harbor]] for 1 Slab. West Pua, rather than be angry with their loss of land, took this as an opportunity to strengthen ties with Xarslasja, and proposed a trade – Xarslasja gets Plus One Island, and West Pua gets the Island of [[Peoria]], but both countries keep their water borders. Xarslasja accepted, and the trade was made official on August 24, 2024. When the trade was completed, both Islands names were changed, Plus One Island being renamed to “Bar Harbor” and Peoria being renamed to "Puoria".

=== Tauranga Puawai ===
On September 17th, 2024, West Pua secured [[Tauranga Puawai]], an island to the south, as a colony of West Pua. This land is sanctioned as holy land by the Pontifex, as this is the only known place on [[Ngearth]] where you can acquire Alliums. "Tauranga Puawai is now under the protection of West Pua. We invite people from all around to harvest the flowers here, as they are gifts from the Higher Order. We only as that you keep the island clean."

=== The Church of the Allium ===
[[File:2024-10-11 15.13.47.png|thumb|Progress of the Church of the Allium as of 10/11/2024]]
Near the end of September 2024, the Pontifex of Pua authorized the construction of the [[Church of the Allium]]. The church is planned to be the largest man made structure in West Pua, a testament to the people's devotion to the Higher Order. Until further notice, most of the country's resources will be put towards the construction of the church until it's completion.

=== The Amujxplosion ===
The [[Amujxplosion]] had a major impact on the West Puan way of life. The most immediate change was the the dissolving of the [[Transpunese Economic Union]], which led to West Pua creating the [[West Puan Taara|Taara]] as a new currency. After multiple land disputes, including East Pua's Order No. 227, [[Casual Mitosis Collective|CMC]] stepped in and announced that the main area of Amuj would be split between East and West Pua, stating that they want the land to stay in Puan hands, but does not want just one of the Puas to have it all. This will take affect after the [[2024 Nguhrovision Song Contest]], and until then the land will be a protected UNg [[Mandate of Amuj|Mandate,]] enforced by the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]].

The Amujxplosion also sparked the [[Coup Sabah]] in [[Xarslasja]]. West Pua openly supported [[Gu Sabah]] and the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]], because they had been West Pua's greatest supporters during the [[Chilled War]]. Pontifex [[Skrungk]] commented on this in the [[Pua Takiwā Address]], where he stated that he will do his best to support the coup without escalating the [[Chilled War]], if possible.

After the [[Battle of Flagstaff]], West Pua withdrew their support from the Coup. After witnessing the destruction in Flagstaff, West Pua stated that they "do not endorse that kind of violence and loss of life. We still believe that Agamashuya was a traitor to his values, but this is not how change should happen."

== Government ==
The government of West Pua functions as an Absolutist Theocracy, where Pontifex Skrungk holds full power to enact the will of The Allium. The Pontifex also has a council of Disciples that help enforce his will, called the Petalage. Disciples of the Petalage are appointed by the Pontifex himself, and can act as an authority for matters that don't need the Pontifex's direct attention. Besides the Petalage, there are 4 major Administrations that work to keep the country running smoothly; The PIP Administration, The Agricultural Administration, The Transportation Administration, and The Defense Administration.

=== The PIP Administration ===
The PIP (Puan Information Protection) Administration is responsible for collecting, analyzing, and protecting intelligence to support national security. They play a vital role in preventing PIP Violations, where Intelligence can be leaked to enemy countries if not careful. A current major goal for the PIP Administration is to root out East Puan Spies. The ever-increasing threat of East Pua has led to [[The Blue Scare]], a "national panic and paranoia concerning East Puan Spies living [[wikipedia:Among_Us|among us.]]"

=== The Agricultural Administration ===
The Agricultural Administration is responsible for regulating farming and animal safety throughout the country, as well as prioritizing wildlife preservation. A major project of the Agricultural Administration is to plant Alliums throughout the land of West Pua, so the Allium can be closer to all.

=== The Transportation Administration ===
The Transportation Administration is responsible for building and maintaining the railways that connect West Pua's cities, as well as the major railways that connect to other countries. Currently, the Transportation Administration is working to connect [[Tauranga Puawai]] to the Aquatic Line.

=== The Defense Administration ===
The Defense Administration is in charge of keeping the citizens of West Pua safe from foreign threats, the main focus being protection against the East Puan Threat.

== Religion ==
West Pua is a Theocracy, the religion and the government are one. They practice [[Alliumist Florism]], a religion based on the worship of the Allium. After the collapse of the [[Blossomic Empire of Pua]], the People's Floracracy of Pua moved away from [[Florism]], realizing that the Allium was a far more sacred flower than others, and it's guidance built them into what they are today.

A subsect of Alliumist Florism, [[Ætérnalist Alliumism]], is practiced in some of the southern regions of West Pua.

== Foreign Relations ==
Due to West Pua being a militarily weaker, more agrarian nation than its Eastern rivals, West Pua has sought out alliances with neighboring countries to even the playing field. On September 15th, 2024, West Pua applied to join the [[United Ŋations]], which was accepted during the 19th [[UNg]] meeting.

=== East Pua ===
[[East Pua]] is considered "A lesson on what happens when you abandon your morals for a Jingoistic and greedy society. [[Repunification]] can never be possible with a country so unwilling to hear reason." - (Pontifex Skrungk). East Pua is considered the greatest threat to the West Puan way of life.

=== Pihi ===
Because [[Pihi]] is a Puppet State of East Pua, they are also considered enemies of West Pua. However, the West Puan government does not consider Pihi a threat, instead looking at them with a sense of pity.

=== Xarslaja ===
West Pua considers [[Xarslasja]] an ally, and hopes to maintain that alliance. The August 24th 2024 Island Trade of [[Puoria]] and [[Bar Harbor]] during the [[Scramble for Murbetia]] was a "great step in the right direction" -According to Pontifex Skrungk. "Keeping Xarslasja in support of West Pua and our cause will be instrumental in our development as a nation." On September 5th, 2024, West Pua Accepted the offer to build an Embassy in [[Tempe]].

On September 17th, Xarslasja signed the [[South Thasusan Common Market Agreement]] with East Pua, which came as a disappointment to the people of West Pua. This statement was made by the Pontifex, "Xarslasja's economic agreement with East Pua comes as a disappointment to us all, but we will still try our best to keep up strong relations with them. We cannot afford to have Xarslasja as an enemy."

==== Coup Sabah and the Pua Takiwā Address ====
''see the [[Pua Takiwā Address]]''

On October 10th, The [[Coup Sabah]] began, and West Pua announced their full support for the cause. 4 days later, Pontifex Skrungk gave the [[Pua Takiwā Address]], announcing their stance on the coup. [[Gu Sabah]] and the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] are allies to the West Puan cause.

In the Pua Takiwā Address, Pontifex Skrungk talks about hopes for the future of Amuj, East Pua's Order No. 227, and Xarslasja's coup / how the coup may affect tensions between the Puas.

After the Battle of Flagstaff, West Pua withdrew their support for the Coup. Pontifex Skrungk made this statement on the issue; "After seeing the destruction caused during the Battle of Flagstaff, West Pua will no longer be supporting the Coup in Xarslasja. We do not endorse that kind of violence and loss of life. We still believe that Agamashuya was a traitor to his values, but this is not how change should happen. Our Priority in Xarslasja is to the safety of its people above all else."

=== North Amuj ===
North Amuj was West Pua's neighbor to the south, and a valuable ally. On 10/08/2024, North Amuj dissolved, an event called the Amujxplosion, which left West Pua without an ally or a currency.

== Economy ==
The [[West Puan Taara]] is the official currency of West Pua.
[[File:Taara.png|thumb|The West Puan Taara]]
As a result of the [[Transpunese Economic Union]], West Pua adopted the [[Amujan Geha]] as their national currency. On August 7th, 2024, [[North Amuj|Amuj]] updated their currency to the [[North Amujan Pymu]], a change that West Pua welcomed due to its stronger backing. On October 8th, 2024, the [[Amujxplosion]] left West Pua without a currency and had a devastating impact on the economy. 3 days later, West Pua created the Taara, a new currency to help with West Pua's recovery.

'''West Pua''', officially known as the '''People's Floracracy of Pua''', is a country located south of [[Xarslasja]], north of [[North Amuj]], east of [[Coldba (Cuba)]] and west of [[East Pua]].

== Prehistory ==
The Blossomic Empire of Pua was an absolute monarchy encompassing the entirety of the Pua region in the continent of Thasusa. Due to extensive corruption in the government and the people’s dissatisfaction, the citizens of Pua [[Puly Revolution|revolted]] against the king, and he was forced to vacate the throne. A coup following the sudden disappearance of the Puan king preempted violent clashes over who should lead the country, giving rise to the [[The 23 Minute War|Puan Civil war.]]

== History ==

=== Independence ===
After the Puan King was forced to step down, there was heavy controversy over who should fill the position. The two leading factions were unable to agree on how to run their country, and it caused them to split into two separate countries, West and East Pua. The primary reason for the disagreements was because of differences in the religious views of the floral gods, and the West Puans refused to worship a false idol. The third largest faction, a nonconformist group called the Pihitians, also rose.The East Puans in an attempt to cleave unto their control of the Pihitian territories made the false claim that both the East Puan Cornflower and the Pihitian Oxeye Daisy are better than the West Puan Allium.

=== The Chilled War ===
''Main article:'' [[The Chilled War]] 
''Further Information:''[[Floral Curtain]], [[Ŋerlin Wall]]
 
Immediately following the Puan Civil War, the two major powers in the Pua region began separating both diplomatically and physically with the construction of border fortifications and the breakdown of cooperative discussions between East and West Pua.

=== The Scramble for Murbetia ===
On August 22, 2024, the country of [[Murbetia]] dissolved, granting West Pua the opportunity to claim the eastern chunk of [[Scarecrow Harbor]]. This was cause for celebration among the West Puans, as they had finally resecured a piece of their mainland that had been missing for so long.

While this was happening, [[East Pua]] claimed a large section of land to their East. Pontifex Skrungk commented on the East Puan Annexations, stating "The East Puans took advantage of the Scramble, and annexed ridiculous amounts of land to their eastern border in an attempt to gain an advantage over us." The resulting power imbalance had many West Puans worried about the ever-increasing East Puan threat.

While all this was happening, [[Coldba (Cuba)]] claimed a majority of the Murbetian mainland, as well as several surrounding islands. One of the islands mistakenly claimed was West Pua’s [[Plus One Island]], and it was promptly sold to [[Xarslasja]] along with [[Xar Harbor]] for 1 Slab. West Pua, rather than be angry with their loss of land, took this as an opportunity to strengthen ties with Xarslasja, and proposed a trade – Xarslasja gets Plus One Island, and West Pua gets the Island of [[Peoria]], but both countries keep their water borders. Xarslasja accepted, and the trade was made official on August 24, 2024. When the trade was completed, both Islands names were changed, Plus One Island being renamed to “Bar Harbor” and Peoria being renamed to "Puoria".

=== Tauranga Puawai ===
On September 17th, 2024, West Pua secured [[Tauranga Puawai]], an island to the south, as a colony of West Pua. This land is sanctioned as holy land by the Pontifex, as this is the only known place on [[Ngearth]] where you can acquire Alliums. "Tauranga Puawai is now under the protection of West Pua. We invite people from all around to harvest the flowers here, as they are gifts from the Higher Order. We only as that you keep the island clean."

=== The Church of the Allium ===
[[File:2024-10-11 15.13.47.png|thumb|Progress of the Church of the Allium as of 10/11/2024]]
Near the end of September 2024, the Pontifex of Pua authorized the construction of the [[Church of the Allium]]. The church is planned to be the largest man made structure in West Pua, a testament to the people's devotion to the Higher Order. Until further notice, most of the country's resources will be put towards the construction of the church until it's completion.

=== The Amujxplosion ===
The [[Amujxplosion]] had a major impact on the West Puan way of life. The most immediate change was the the dissolving of the [[Transpunese Economic Union]], which led to West Pua creating the [[West Puan Taara|Taara]] as a new currency. After multiple land disputes, including East Pua's Order No. 227, [[Casual Mitosis Collective|CMC]] stepped in and announced that the main area of Amuj would be split between East and West Pua, stating that they want the land to stay in Puan hands, but does not want just one of the Puas to have it all. This will take affect after the [[2024 Nguhrovision Song Contest]], and until then the land will be a protected UNg [[Mandate of Amuj|Mandate,]] enforced by the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]].

The Amujxplosion also sparked the [[Coup Sabah]] in [[Xarslasja]]. West Pua openly supported [[Gu Sabah]] and the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]], because they had been West Pua's greatest supporters during the [[Chilled War]]. Pontifex [[Skrungk]] commented on this in the [[Pua Takiwā Address]], where he stated that he will do his best to support the coup without escalating the [[Chilled War]], if possible.

After the [[Battle of Flagstaff]], West Pua withdrew their support from the Coup. After witnessing the destruction in Flagstaff, West Pua stated that they "do not endorse that kind of violence and loss of life. We still believe that Agamashuya was a traitor to his values, but this is not how change should happen."

Due to West Pua being a militarily weaker, more agrarian nation than its Eastern rivals, West Pua has sought out alliances with neighboring countries to even the playing field. On September 15th, 2024, West Pua applied to join the [[United Ŋations]], which was accepted during the 19th [[UNg]] meeting.

=== East Pua ===
[[East Pua]] is considered "A lesson on what happens when you abandon your morals for a Jingoistic and greedy society. [[Repunification]] can never be possible with a country so unwilling to hear reason." - (Pontifex Skrungk). East Pua is considered the greatest threat to the West Puan way of life.

=== Pihi ===
Because [[Pihi]] is a Puppet State of East Pua, they are also considered enemies of West Pua. However, the West Puan government does not consider Pihi a threat, instead looking at them with a sense of pity.

=== Xarslaja ===
West Pua considers [[Xarslasja]] an ally, and hopes to maintain that alliance. The August 24th 2024 Island Trade of [[Puoria]] and [[Bar Harbor]] during the [[Scramble for Murbetia]] was a "great step in the right direction" -According to Pontifex Skrungk. "Keeping Xarslasja in support of West Pua and our cause will be instrumental in our development as a nation." On September 5th, 2024, West Pua Accepted the offer to build an Embassy in [[Tempe]].

On September 17th, Xarslasja signed the [[South Thasusan Common Market Agreement]] with East Pua, which came as a disappointment to the people of West Pua. This statement was made by the Pontifex, "Xarslasja's economic agreement with East Pua comes as a disappointment to us all, but we will still try our best to keep up strong relations with them. We cannot afford to have Xarslasja as an enemy."

''see the [[Pua Takiwā Address]]''

On October 10th, The [[Coup Sabah]] began, and West Pua announced their full support for the cause. 4 days later, Pontifex Skrungk gave the [[Pua Takiwā Address]], announcing their stance on the coup. [[Gu Sabah]] and the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] are allies to the West Puan cause.

In the Pua Takiwā Address, Pontifex Skrungk talks about hopes for the future of Amuj, East Pua's Order No. 227, and Xarslasja's coup / how the coup may affect tensions between the Puas.

After the Battle of Flagstaff, West Pua withdrew their support for the Coup. Pontifex Skrungk made this statement on the issue; "After seeing the destruction caused during the Battle of Flagstaff, West Pua will no longer be supporting the Coup in Xarslasja. We do not endorse that kind of violence and loss of life. We still believe that Agamashuya was a traitor to his values, but this is not how change should happen. Our Priority in Xarslasja is to the safety of its people above all else."

=== North Amuj ===
North Amuj was West Pua's neighbor to the south, and a valuable ally. On 10/08/2024, North Amuj dissolved, an event called the Amujxplosion, which left West Pua without an ally or a currency.

== Economy ==

As a result of the [[Transpunese Economic Union]], West Pua adopted the [[Amujan Geha]] as their national currency. On August 7th, 2024, [[North Amuj|Amuj]] updated their currency to the [[North Amujan Pymu]], a change that West Pua welcomed due to its stronger backing. On October 8th, 2024, the [[Amujxplosion]] left West Pua without a currency and had a devastating impact on the economy. 3 days later, West Pua created the Taara, a new currency to help with West Pua's recovery.
