Daminy (/Dá'míni/ Damanian: Oтечество) officialy The Socialist Dictatorship of Daminy is a nation in Moneylania, situated in the Moneylanianic Sea. Daminy is the second largest island in the Moneylanianic Sea at 446 550km2. It borders onto the Sibarian Sea, to the east you have the East Uzzmorial Islands and south you have Auxillary. Daminy is known as a Tourist Hotspot and is also known for its technological inovations, which don't go so well.
Daminy was discovered by Sibarian Explorers in 1477. They occupied it until it's independence in 1589. That changed in WWI & WWII when they occupied them untill its final release in 1947. Since then, Daminy has tried to befriend its neigbours to no succsess. It works on pleasing its people with modernist cities and lots of attractions and public services.
For at least 40,000 years before the first Sibarian settlement in the late 15th century, Daminy was inhabited by indigenous tribes. After the Sibarian discovery of the islands by Sibarian explorers in 1478, Daminy's western half was claimed by Sibaria in 1479 and initially settled through transportation to the colony of New Vladivastak from 1 April 1490. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Youthsville. The average income tax rate is 82%, and even higher for the wealthy.
Daminy is a diverse nation, with the largest Auxillarian population outside of Auxillary. Major ethnic groups include Damanian, Sibarian, Scuroian and Auxillarian. Around 76% are Damanians. The offical religion is Bronyism.

History
Pre-History
Human habitation of the island is estimated to have begun between 42,000 and 48,000 years ago. At the time of Sibarian settlement in the late 15th century, most tribesmen were hunter-gatherers. The eastern coasts and waters of Daminy were visited sporadically by fishermen from the west.
Discovery
In 1478, the Sibarian traders, captained by Mikahel Gorbachov, set sail for Auxillary, and Ironian controlled island. They were going to trade spices and different kinds of materials. They were blown off course and started to head north. Within a day of getting blown of course, they landed on the island of Daminy.
When they realised they were on a new found island, they sent back a man on a stable boat to get back to Sibaria. He recorded his way back to Sibaria and landed on the east side on the Sibarian Peninsula. The men back on Daminy started to set up a new colony and named it New Vladivastak, later to be called Gorbachov.
Colonisation
The first colony of Daminy was established with the arrival of the Sibarian Fleet of 20 vessels under the command of Captain Boris Archeon in January 1501. It consisted of over 5 thousand settlers. A few days after arrival at New Vladivastak, most of the fleet moved towards the center of Daminy, where the settlement of Archeon was established, on the 4 Febuary 1501.
Archeon offered fresh farmable land and a safe supply of water coming from the east, which Archeon described as being, 'one of the finest discoveries man has ever found'. Meanwhile, New Vladivastak met the requirements to become a township, which consisted of over 5 thousand people. More and more people started to arrive on Daminy's shores, and by 1507, Daminy had over 15 thousand people located across New Vladivastak and Archeon. Mikahel Gorbachov, now in his early 40's, became the first Govenor-General of the Combined Colony of New Vladivastak and Archeon. He governed the colony until his death in 1537.
Expansion
During the early 16th century, the colony expanded at a rapid pace, setting up townships far and wide. By the early 1530's, New Vladivastak became the bustling city of the Moneylanianic Sea. Imports and Exports were coming in and out of the town, people started to arrive and settle down and it slowly became the trading city across the Sea. The Colony's army, supplied by the Sibarian Army, began to chart the map of the island and set up new command posts, which eventually became towns of their own.
The colony then took it a step further and took over the Damanian Islands. These islands would later become a tourist destination, known today as Chorvio and the Island States. The command post of the Damanian Islands, was set up on the southern most island, known as Chorvio. This command post was used to look out for any pirates or hostile alligned personel. As more army personel started to move to the post, so did the families, and friends of the men. Chorvio, aswell, became a new township of the colony.
Under Sibarian Rule
From 1489 to 1589, the Sibarians ruled over Daminy. They would get most of the profits that the colony produced, and anyone who moved to the colony would be consided Sibarian under law. The Sibarians, over the years, were begining to be hated over the colony. Mostly because of the high taxes the Sibarians placed on a new colony, and the harsh methods used if they didn't pay the tax. These methods consisted of lashing and public shame. There was a massive gap between the rich and the poor on the island, and the Sibarians were only making it worse.
In 1537, when Mikahel Gorbachov suddenly passed away in his New Vladivastak home, the Sibarians within the colony, decided that it was time for the colony to leave the hands of the mainland Sibarians. They sent in a petition to the King that stated "Daminy gains independence from the Empire of Sibaria". The Sibarians reacted furiously, raising all taxes on the island. After years of tax and punishment, the colony had enough. On the 8th of August 1588, the colony revoulted against the Sibarian Forces stationed on the islands.
Independence
Over the cource of the year, the Colony's Forces started to revolt. The first revolt was on the 8th of August, 1588, were revolts brewed all over New Vladivastak. The Sibarian Forces had the uper hand, with newer and more stable weapons. However, its the actions of General Eli Farvik which cost the Sibarians the battle. He decided that the forces shouldn't fight back because he belived they were a small beatable force which should have timne wasted on. This decision allowed the Colony to fight against the Sibarians.
They eventually gained access to the Sibarians weapons. They started to fight the Sibarians with their own weapons. Eventually, on the 1st of September, 1588, the Sibarians decided to pull out of Daminy. However, Daminy wasn't officialy recognised as a nation regionwide. Finnaly, idependence came on the 2nd of March, 1589. Archeon was voted capital of the nation with Samwell Archeon, son of Boris Archeon, as its leader.
