AAN State

AAN State is a nation located in Australia. This nation was founded by the former owner of the Nations of the World roleplay, AtteU. It has a population of 64.2 million and is currently led by Anthony I, the King of the AAN State.

History
AAN State was founded by AtteU on January 2019, the same day the Nations of the World roleplay was created. Its position in the database is the 5th. The name “AAN” represents / is an abbreviation of “Atte’s Australia & New Zealand”, though AAN State doesn’t possess New Zealand anymore. King Atte I stepped in power when the nation was founded. The King first started expanding AAN State, though not as aggressively as some nations would have done.

Army and invasions
While in power, Atte I formed the ARA (AAN Royal Army). With its big capacity and constant readiness, the King gained Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, India and Philippines for the state in its first days. Antarctica, Turkey, Slovakia and a few African countries were also taken.

Some time later, when ILAUN collapsed because of its roleplayer’s retiring, the possession of almost all South American areas was transferred to AAN State. The King sold some of the lands to other nations, and the rest of those were transferred to Estado Novo when it was formed by the person that first owned I.L.A.U.N..

Nowadays AAN State doesn’t own any other lands than Australia and Papua New Guinea, as New Zealand was given for Explorers of the Dark. After the collapse of E.O.T.D., New Zealand was free for a few weeks as ARA was not ordered to take it back, until a country called “New Zealand” set its headquarters there.

Politics
The government of AAN State is led by the King, but it is not an absolute monarchy though. The government consists of the King and the leaders of some political parties in the nation. The King mostly follows the folks’ opinion, as the government’s decisions are almost always based on votings by the people.

King Atte I stepped off power on the 21st of July 2019. His successor was named to be King Anthony I.
