When the Malaysian government fell to a nanosocialist coup in 2067, the governors of Sabah and Sarawak states on the island of Borneo refused to comply with the new regime. The result was a short civil war. Despite the intervention of Indonesian troops, the rebel states managed to drive off their attackers by the end of 2068. Since then, several of the federal sultans of Malaysia, exiled by the nanosocialist regime, have taken up residence in the new nation’s capital of Kota Kinabulu. Sarawak and Sabah have avoided joining any major power bloc, particularly the Pacific Rim Alliance. The new nation’s foreign policy is one of careful neutrality in world affairs.
