A country consisting of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. People started migrating to the previously largely uninhabited islands in 1989, fleeing political instability and "political persecution" in the Soviet Union, Vietnam, Korea and other nearby states, and soon many political dissidents from Asia, Europe and even other continents at least visited Novaya Zemlya. The Republic declared itself independent in 1990; the Soviet Union provided little resistance, having not regarded the island as more than a barren reserve. Vanev was formed in 1991 on the island after other nations expressed interest in the free speech/protest movement which had settled in the Republic.
