Name: Free Democracy of Quanko Demonym: Quankan Description: Originally a Tuscany colony interest was lost in the colony earl in it's history and largely ignored by other colonial powers for having little value. Being ignored as it was it became a pirate and smuggler haven with men coming to the island to trade with the natives and Italian colonists as well as setup their own small towns and ports. While eventually the pirates died off the smuggling continued on throughout most of the nation's history. Strangely one draw for people to return to the small island were the very people of it. While Christianity had come to the island from the Italian colonists in some ways it did not take fully and the culture of the people overrode it. This was most rather noteworthy on their views on sex and love, this was only exasperated by the pirates and the people who came along with them. Over time the small island was easily forgotten and ignored by most until the 1940s. Many fled Central Europe and one which took in a comparatively large number of new citizens was the small island nation of Quanko. This brought it to the eyes of the US and USSR as a result as both wondered of the future of the island with so many potential Fascists still present there. Then David Moore of the investment banking dynasty bought his way into Presidency of the small island nation which brought it even further into the eye of the USSR which in turn made the US respond similarly. Moore has declared neutrality when pressed on the issue but it is said both nations have been keeping an eye on the nation particularly in regards to suspected former NAZI members having gained noticeable power within the government and military.
