Divided Islands	Daily Political Power Gain: -0.15 Stability: -10.00% Slightly increases monthly religious rights policy effectiveness drift During the colonial era, the British imported thousands of indentured laborers from South Asia to work on its vast sugar plantations. Today their descendents, despite making up a slim majority on the Island live in squalor facing a de-facto racial caste system below the native Fijans. Meanwhile, the native Fijian population has its grievances as they see their traditional rights and privileges threatened by the new Republic’s ambitious reforms to amend past discrimination.
The Pacific Vanguard	War Support: +10.00% Division Defense: +20.0% Land Fort Construction Speed; +15.00% As the OFN’s largest forward island base in the Pacific, a mere stone toss away from the Japanese territories, the little island republic has become a fortress, hosting several military bases and under 24/7 protection by air and sea. Nonetheless, the nearness of the Japanese and occasional incursions from Japanese fishermen leave the Islanders in a state of constant anxiety.
Economic Doldrums	GDP Growth: -0.10% Poverty Monthly Change: -0.02 (The United States of America) Extra Trade to Target: +25.00% With the collapse of the British Empire and the collapse of trade outside the shrinking Free World, the once prosperous plantation sugar economy in Fiji entered a tailspin triggering immense socio-political upheaval in the 1950s. The introduction of OFN capital investments and GI dollars from the military bases has stabilized the situation, but the Island has yet to find a niche in a changing world. The future seems to hang in the balance as the economy stagnates.
