The Revolutionary Era
Bonkers Island was born in a hospital on the island of Elba in the Mediterranean Sea many years ago, conceived by the French Revolution, however, it only achieved independence on the 9th of September, 2006. Almost immediately after its independence, Bonkers Island was attacked viciously by rich, greedy imperialists and nearly decimated to ruins, if it weren't for its newfound allies the Green Protection Agency, who provided Bonkers Island with monetary and martial aid. Yet the aid was just enough to rebuild the capital, Suffragette City, and build an army suitable enough to keep order, yet was not quite enough to rebuild the economy, which remained in shambles.

The Modern Era
On the eve of the 31st of October, 2006, Bonkers Island was visited by forces from another dimension.
