History
Early times
Nemonos, then a part of Iowa, was a site of heavy logging during the settlement of the American Midwest in the 1800s. After most of the trees were removed attempts to farm the area were met with failure as the soil was too poor and rocky. As a result, the area returned to a forested state until urban development began in the 1950s-1960s.
Settlement
Beginning in the 1950s suburban growth in most major American cities commenced in earnest. There were some who felt this was the wrong direction for cities to go and began a movement to build a 'better city'. This movement eventually resulted in the founding of the City of Nemonos in 1960. The city was built along the shores of Lake Nemonos at the mouth of the Nemon River. This was felt to be an optimal site for both industrial expansion as well as for transportation.
Urban Expansion
Nemonos City grew quickly due to its prime location. The completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway to Lake Nemonos resulted in significant port related developments in the region. Major port construction began in the 1970s with the Port of Nemonos and again in the 1990s with the Port of Sunset Beach. Oil Refining became a major industry in the region during this period with the construction of the enormous Martinsdale Oil Refinery.
Push for Statehood
Beginning around the turn of the 21st century a growing divide within the Iowa state government over the Nemonos' place. Culturally very distinct from the rest of Iowa, Nemonos, state reps frequently clashed with others for the rest of the state. In 2007 the statehood movement took to the mainstream in Nemonos and rallied the US congress to pass a bill that would cede the Nemonos-Headwaters Region from the state of Iowa and form a new independent state. The bill was passed with near unanimity on November 24th, 2007 in all levels of the US Government.
State of Nemonos
The first elections of the new state were held on December 1, 2007. The Democratic Party won the majority of seats in the State House of Representatives and State Senate. The capital was established as Fairfax, Nemonos, then a small city in Riverton County. The government quickly established a presence and the city grew rapidly to become the 2nd most populous in the state, behind Nemonos City. Currently the state is dealing with issues ranging from uncontrolled suburban expansion of the Nemonos Metropolitan Area to electrical shortages throughout the state.

Qumma
Liberty Islands was one of the first countries to start official relations with the small West African state, Qumma. The Szekeres Harbour Contruction and Management Company competed for the huge contract of building the new Fursan Seaport in Qumma. Finally, the contract was won by the People's Socialist State of Odeschnya (PSSO). Although the lost contract for the Fursan Seaport, the Liberty Islands meeting with the QEC was about so much more. Potentially the single biggest investor in Qumma, the first act the delegation presented to the QEC was its proposal to lift all visa and working permit requirements on all Qumman citizens traveling or hoping to live in the North Atlantic state. "With the beginning of the official relationship between these two friendly nations has come the construction of the LI Embassy in Fursan, in order to further facilitate the growth of the relationship. As such, the Qumman Embassy is also under construction in LI, and the Qumman Ambassador to the Liberty Islands has already been assigned. The most important invest LI has made in Qumma, however, is the construction and partial management of the new University of Liberty Islands in Qumma, or ULIQ. Although most of the administration will be run by Qummans and the QEC, it will branched out of the LI's superior educational system, in the hopes that the very first university to open its doors in Qumma will mold its next generation into something special. In addition, LI has been presented with land to the north of Fursan to begin constructing a new foodstuff related factory. Although it will be small scale, it will distribute locally, and the QEC has also put forward a plan to help the company distribute in the region, to countries such as Senegal, Mauritania, Western Sahara, Gambia, and Cape Verde. The QEC has also mentioned that it will be opening its construction and development sector to LI companies, if agreed upon by the LI Investment Group. With the construction mini-boom taking place in Qumma, F.O.E.S Construction, the only registered development company owned by Qummans, is unable to keep up. Originally, the QEC has wanted to keep a very tight control policy on foreign construct and instead has sought to give the projects to Qumman companies, but the demand has far exceeded the supply. As such, the QEC will give way to two LI construction companies of their own choice, to begin operations in Fursan and Khaymeh." (QEC: Qumma Executive Council; LI: Liberty Islands) Qumma MD at SC4Dev

- Military Intelligence
Liberty Islands operates extensive intelligence organisations. Part of it is the Military Intelligence which has two branches. One is responsible gathering information, and the other is responsible for counter-intelligence. They are under the command of the joint command.
- Air Force
Liberty Islands Air Force (LIAF) operates all the aerial forces of the Liberty Islands, including air cargo, airborne refueling, airborne reconassiance and AEW, fighters and attack bombers. The LIAF operates 2 airfields, and the civilian airports are also in use. The LIAF's 4 Tornado and one tanker was sent to help Green Depra in the crisis of Gold and Green Depra.
- Airborne Troops
The LIAF has a small but quick response ground force of light infantry, the Airborne Troops. It has two batallion and two special forces batallion. The regular batallions use light infantry vehicles and light artilery, the two special forces unit are only equiped with 4-wheeled vehicles. The Airborne Troops can reach any war zone in a day or two. In war in a allied nation, the Airborne Troops would e the first to fight and to hold out until the LIN Marines arrive.
- Navy
Liberty Islands Navy (LIN) was established on the basis of naval forces just after the National Guard in 1848, however actual warships existed in before 1848 too. Today the LIN is the largest branch of the islands. The LIN is relatively huge according to the size of the islands. The LIN has a wide range of aerial vehicles (aircraft and helicopters) to support its tasks and the Marines.
- Marines
Liberty Islands Marines (LIM) is not part of the LIN, but a separate branch of the Liberty Islands Armed Forces. Today it is the largest ground force of the islands. It can succesfully accomplish missions wordwidely with the help of LIN. LIM doesn't have aerial vehicles. Currently there is 3 active marine brigades, but the reserve forces make up another 2 brigades.
- National Guard
The National Guard is the oldest and still existing military force of Liberty Islands. It was established for the defence of Hungary in 1848. After the independence of Liberty Islands its mission was to secure the land of the islands and in the case of Hungarian revolution it would provide armed support. This idea is questioned as Liberty Islands is located thousands of kilometres from Hungary and can't send troops to the Carpathian Basion quickly. Today the National Guard has a two infantry regiments. The 1st National Guard Regiment has the objective to secure Liberty Islands executive, legislative and judical organizations and to provide protocol appearance. Te 2nd National Guard Regiment is under the command of the Governor-president. The rest of the National Guard is a reserve force of another undisclosed number of regiments.
