Renia

After discovery of the archipelago, Czech settlers started to flow in and they founded new colony called Renda. The colonization was rapid since many Czechs wanted to escape from oppressive Austrian government. By 1817, the colony had swiftly amassed 100,000 inhabitants, most of them were catholic. When Bohemian colonies supported the Union during war of American independence, the colony of Renda came under British occupation and it was renamed to Renia. After the British officially proclaimed it as their rightful colony, many catholics in Britain immigrated to Renia because they saw it as very catholic territory.

When World War 1 started in 1914, Renia stayed with their overlord and the Entente. During the 1929 world economic crisis, Renia seized opportunity of weakened Britan and declared independence. During WWII they stayed neutral.

In 1953 a huge event in Renian history happened - the Pope proclaimed Renia as archdiocese with the capital Miston as the seat of an archbishop. In 1968, the ruling party - The Holy League of Renia - organized a referendum to install a theocratic government with the archbishop as ruler and 89% of the population voted in favour of the proposal. Since then, Miston's archbishop acts as catholic authority for all of the archipelago.

Renian government now focuses mainly on converting remoted parts of archipelago, which are still following native religions.

Currently, Renia is a part of the Archipelago Defense Pact and a member of the Archipelago Defensive Council.
