History
Bandaloon began as a loose federation of several native Bandaloonian tribes around 900 C.E. Over several centuries, the federation became more united and developed. By the early 20th century, Bandaloon had a national government, contact with other nations, and was beginning to develop light industry. At the forefront of this industrial revolution was the Bandaloon mining guild.
Then, the Corporate Union took over the budding nation and began rapid development. For several decades, the CU invested tons of capital into the nation, developed the nation into an industrial powerhouse, and introduced many new cultures and peoples to Bandaloon.
However, this rapid development did not sit well with many of the more traditional native Bandaloonians. They saw the development of heavy industry and introduction of foreign ideals as an attack on their time honored traditions and culture. This idea gave birth to the Bandaloonian communism movement, which supported going back to a more tribal type economy, based on sharing and communist ideals, rather than the ultra-capitalism the CU had introduced. Over time, this movement evolved to favor much more extreme communism, and was supported by the many heavy industry workers.
The communism movement eventually rebelled against the CU, and gained much international support. However, the CU was too strong, and the revolution began to stagnate. The Bandaloon Mining Guild, now a mulit-national corporation, decided to aid its country of origin by buying Bandaloon from the CU.
