A nation founded in 1916, released by it's former owner, the Codexian Empire. It is a rather small, unnoticeable country that occupied a landmass to the south of the Veridian Union. Formerly a hotbed of terrorist activity since the 1950s, instigated by the Genoshan Party of Brotherhood. The GPB has maintained a stronghold of the government until it's dissolution for rather unknown reasons in 1968. From then, the nation has made massive political shifts to favor the Veridian Union.
Currently, it stands as a satellite state in the Veridian Union's sphere of influence. Many influences within Genosha derive from the Union.
