The United Republic of New Guinea came into existence
as a nation in two sections. The eastern half of the
island gained independence from [[Australia]]n administration
in 1975, and has always been closely associated with Australia.
The western half was a province in the [[Indonesian]]
empire until 2015, when local insurgents took advantage of
an ongoing civil war to declare independence. Backed by
Australian troops, the former Irian Jaya made its declaration
stick, and in 2021 united with Papua New Guinea. The
unified nation remained a close ally of Australia, and
became a member of the [[Pacific Rim Alliance]] in 2027.

New Guinea is rich in natural resources. However, at
the beginning of the century the island had almost no infrastructure,
an astonishingly high level of ethnic diversity,
and a population which often still
lived on a Stone Age level.
Development has until recently
been driven almost entirely by
mining. With a great deal of
foreign investment, the government
has pursued a “dispersed
development” model.
Using modern communications
technology, the government
hopes to bring New
Guinea’s people up to an
advanced standard of living
without forcing them to leave
their scattered villages. The
result appears likely to be a
bizarre mix of the primitive
and super-advanced.

New Guinea’s interior still
conceals wide tracts of land
that have never been explored
by outsiders. According to
rumor, the Alliance may be
concealing almost anything in
the island’s outback: black
weapons-research projects,
enclaves of artificial life, evidence of lost civilizations,
vast hoards of gold...
