History
New Olympia was discovered and settled in the 22nd century. Different waves of settlers clashed over access to resources, forcing the Terran Alliance to intervene military twice, in 2196 and 2220.[1]
When the Terran Alliance fell, the residents of New Olympia formed three different nations, Kasnov, New Greenland, and Olympica. These three republics fought as soon as they were formed. Alonzo Marik extended an offer to the nations of New Olympia to join his Marik Republic. In 2265, Kasnov and New Greenland accepted the offer, but Olympica rejected it. Military efforts to force Olympica into the republic failed thanks to intervention from the Regulan Principality. The Mariks recognized Olympica as an independent state.[1]
Following their entry into the Marik nation, Kasnov and New Greenland merged into the Republic of Kasnov-Greenland. Olympica is formally known as the Independent Principality of Olympica.[2]
Geography
The island continent known as Olymipca Province is home to the Independent Principality of Olympica. The capital of Olympica, Darienbad, is home to the Allison MechWarrior Institute.[2]
New Olympia's other small continent is New Greenland. This continent and most of the islands comprise Kasnov-Greenland. New Greenland is home to the tall mountains known as the "Garden of the Gods". This mountainous region is where the Lloyd Marik-Stanley Aerospace School is located.[2]
Economics
New Olympia has long been a major exporter of foodstuffs. It was home to large agri-domes, but few remained after the Succession Wars. Nonetheless, New Olympia is home to many species of consumable fish, including tuna and bass. New Olympia also has a thriving sport fishing industry, with marlin imported from Terra and Hodson's Fliers from Cap Rouge.[1][2]
Olympica Province became a wealthy vacation getaway because of its proximity to the heart of the Free Worlds League and its independent status that kept it outside of the Marik Commonwealth's tax code. Though League officials tried to close the loopholes, Olympica officials were able to argue that the Addendum to the Incorporation allowed them to retain their status as a tax haven.[2]
The "Garden of the Gods" has a thriving tourism industry as well. Many visitors travel there for the winter sports the mountains provide, as well as spa that are located in the region.[2]
Approximately 2.5 billion people reside on New Olympia.[1][2]
Government
New Olympia is divided between two different nations.[1][2]
The Independent Principality of Olympica is a monarchy. From 3025-3067, this province was ruled by Prince Felix D’Andre.[1][2]
The Republic of Kasnov-Greenland is a feudal oligarchy dominated by the Kefalczyk family who takes the title of "Earl".[1][2]
