Introduction[]
Krete Island is a small island nation, known for its isolation from the rest of Wintermoor's population. It is a technology-driven nation, which has been known to produce some of the most advanced technology known to man. Because of the massive energy usage in the nation, electro-magnetic activity causes clouds to occasionally glow over the nation. The capital of the nation is located at Daedalus City.
In a surprise move, Krete Island colonized the world of Pandora in the Alpha Centauri system, the closest any nation has been to Sol since the first pioneers left Earth.
Pandora came under siege in 818 when the UHC invaded the system. The world was captured, but soon returned to Kretic control following an intense battle between Kretic, Asinican, and Imerenian armies and the full force of the UHC.
History[]
Krete Island can first be traced back to settlers arriving on Krete Island, an island off the western coast of Ozeital. While initially colonists focuse on survival, leadership was first elected to lead the way of the people in -2 ERB, one of the first nations to emerge on the Wintermoorian surface. While eventually trade negotiations with other nations would emerge, by and large, Krete Island remained mostly isolated from the rest of the world, only becoming active when absolutely necessary, as seen during the Zacrenic War, where Krete Island negotiated peace with the Republic of Engor.
As the nation evolved beyond basic survival necessity, the government adopted a new structure highly reminiscent of the ancient Greeks, in both rank, titles, and even architecture.
