Papua
Papua is a nation in the archipelago of East Indies. It is greatly influenced by the government of the Empire of Japan. It borders the colony of East Papua under the control of the German Empire.
Culture
The culture of Papua is much like that of East Papua under control of Germany on the island of New Guinea. As such, there have been calls from nationalists to expand the territory to create a national Papuan nation. These calls come mainly from anti-colonial parties seeking to rid Asia from European influence.
History
Due to the terms of the treaty ending the The Great War, Japan was forbidden from occupying the nation due to being on the losing side, and instead began to establish a puppet regime. The idea to keep the archapelago seperate was an act by Japan itself in order to make the region more manageable. Papua came under the rule of the Sultanate of Ternate.
Following the Russo-German War, the Sultanate of Papua agreed to sign the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, though to a great amount of coercion from Japan.
