[/b][/u]Nya Åland became an independent nation in 2015 after splitting away from the Union of Nordic People citing a belief that the religious nature of their country and the more secular UNP were no longer compatible. The nation had been part of the UNP since 1787 and left on good terms. Since becoming independent the Ålanders have been rather big critics of several international decisions, namely an attempt by the CTO to impose on their EEZ, the mismangement of the Marseille campaign and then more recently the Uppsala Crisis.
In mid 2016 a major tragedy befell the UNP seeing tens of millions die, it was Åland and her partners (mainly East Moreland and Achkaerin) that stepped in and this lead to Nya Åland legally "annexing" what remained of the UNP in order to restore law and order. Since then the Ålander government supported by East Moreland, Achkaerin, Himeyama, Lodja and The Iwi have sought to rebuild Uppsala where around 5 million refugees live.
