Foundation[]

The Union of Midway was founded by Zabuza Hashimoto and a group of people that wished to create a new nation in the pacific after the dissolution of the United States of America. They arrived on Midway and formed a new micronation there, and was the first to do so. It wasn't long before others arrived and formed other micronations nearby. Zabuza proposed a political union between all the micronations, eventually leading to the foundation of the Union of Midway on July 26, 2009. The United Nations recognized the Union of Midway as a nation on August 13th, 2009, becoming the first micronation to gain enough diplomatic recognition to become a nation.

Soon after a nation known as The Darkest Empire, a self-declared state in the Pacific ruled as an iron-fist fascist dictatorship, was created through several conquests, a cold war between the Union of Midway and the Darkest Empire ensued. This Cold War is most noted for the huge amount of spies sent by the Darkest Empire into the Union of Midway to attempt to cause internal strife. Most operations failed, and many Midwayan political leaders were convinced that and attack was imminent, and ordered the military to prepare for a defense.

However, the Darkest Empire intercepted this information through their spies, and chose to attack. They sent in their special forces into Aldebaran Harbor through submarines purchased from the black market, and sacked the city of Aldebaran. The Darkest Empire then issued a declaration of war, falsely claiming that Midway had attacked the Darkest Empire, and invaded. The Midwayan military, still in disarray from the Sacking of Aldebaran and inexperienced due to Midway's relatively new status as a nation, was losing battle after battle to the Darkest Empire. After a while, the Union of Midway petitioned the United Nations for support. The UN sent 100,000 peacekeeper troops, and urged and end to hostilities.

The Darkest Empire still made it deep into Midwayan territory. However, economic mismanagement and a overly-strong military caused the Darkest Empire to fall into massive debt. It wasn't long before the nations economy collapsed, allowing Midway to recapture the territory lost to the Darkest Empire. This, combined with the nations economic situation, forced the Darkest Empire to accept a white peace with Midway. The Darkest Empire collapsed as a nation shortly afterwards. The Yami War ended on January 21st, 2010, so that date was chosen to be memorial day in Midway.

Temporary disbandment and Reformation of the Union of Midway[]

The Union of Midway was temporarily disbanded after the Second Union of Midway-Darkest Empire War. The different territories went their separate ways for the longest time all of them still clinging to the old ways of the Union. Eventually the Territory of Aldebaran decided to reform the Union of Midway, the smaller territories agreed to rejoin without a fuss but the major ones remain independent. Nonetheless the Union of Midway was reborn.

Rise of the Totalitarian State[]

Though the Union of Midway started off as a Democracy, the government was switched to a Republic when the people desired, in this time it underwent a large military buildup. This resulted in a effective Rule by the Military, resulting in a new totalitarian state being born. However this totalitarian state maintained the unions belief for freedom. Eventually the position of president was replaced with the position of Emperor. Then the position of Vice President was scrapped and replaced with the position of President.

The Union of Midway was accepted into STOP on February 14.

Soon afterwards, a number of North Korean spies staged the 2011 Midwayan coup d'état and brought Daniel Bullock back into power. North Korea declared the Democratic People's Republic of Midway as the successor state to the Union of Midway. Many Midwayans did not accept this, and the Union Resistance, which was supposed to disband after the Second Midwayan Civil War, chose not to disband and instead to continue resisting Daniel Bullock. Eventually, they won a major victory at Kure Atoll. On the next day, the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics was created, causing major concern for the Union Resistance. However, on June 15, 2011, the Great Pacific War came to an end and the Union of Midway was restored.

New Dawn[]

The Period that came after the Great Pacific War is often referred to as the New Dawn. The Midwayan government was quickly restored, and the government set up rebuilding and economic recovery programs. These created many new job openings, causing many Great Pacific War refugee's to immigrate into to Midway. This rapid immigration created a population boom, and the population began steadily growing. German became spoken by 10% of the population, the minimum required to be recognized as an official language, and was recognized as an official language.

Main article: Third Midwayan Civil War

On July 27, a organization based in JBR called Quad framed Midway and many STOP nations for an attack on the United States of JBR. When this hit the headlines, many Midwayan citizens (already upset with the government over the recent depression) formed angry mobs, which grouped based on political ideology. Three major groups of mobs formed, Communist, Nazi, and those who just wanted change. Tensions between these groups rose, and the government attempted to gain control of the situation to no avail. The situation erupted into a civil war when the government, the Nazis, the Communists, and the protesters (organized as the Union Resistance), began fighting in the city of Aldebaran. Eventually Midway was defeated by the Nazis and replaced by the Greater Midwayan Empire, which began a series of wars. The Greater Midwayan Empire was fell after the people of Midway became fed up with the Nazi government after finding out that the Nazis were lying to the people. On August 10, the leader of the Nazi Party and Führer of the Greater Midwayan Empire killed himself, and the Nazi party relinquished control over the government several hours after that, which then disbanded.

Post-Third Civil War[]

After the Third Midwayan Civil War, the newly restored government then began focusing efforts on increasing the political stability of the nation, and to do this many laws were passed. Soon afterwards the element Ubiunium was found on the ocean floor, which opened Midway to a large portion of the international market.

Post-Annexation[]

After the annexation many Midwayans, while not approving of the JBRican government, decided to abide by the compromise that was made between the JBRican government and Zabuza Hashimoto, who was chosen to represent protesters. Many went about their daily lives, but after the Assassination of Smith Wellington and James Chor became president of JBR, many felt insulted by his inauguration speech. They began protests, which erupted into riots after the Council for the Safety of Midway attempted to sabotage the protests by inciting violence. These riots ended after Theresa Vales II staged a coup d'état and became ruler of JBR. She quickly changed the government of JBR to what is seen by many as a fascist dictatorship, most notably through the implementation of the HONOR Act. Midwayans believed that this was in violation of the compromise which made Midway a state, and the Communist Party of Midway called for a people's war. The first uprising was quickly set down by vales. However, officials from the Communist Party of Midway, Nationalist Party of Midway, Team Drawn Sword and former government of the Union of Midway met and formed the Midwayan People's Army (MPA), starting a second uprising . In the first battle of the uprising, named the Midwayan People's War by the MPA, the city of New Atlantis was captured by rebels. On March 2nd, 2012, the Chinese won the Chinese Invasion of Midway, starting the Chinese occupation of Midway.

Independence[]

After Midway regained it's independence it saw an improvement in living conditions, however the Chinese still had much control over Midwayan politics due to the occupation. After China pulled out all military troops, Midway got involved in the Second Russo-Japanese War and the Korean-Japanese War. The first elected President of the Union of Midway since the end of the became Abdullah Mohamed Malan. Malan began passing controversial legislation immediately, including legislation against left-handed people and a law banning the Swastika.
