Indo-Malaysia was a colony of the Dutch up until the mid 20th century. During the Second World War, the Indo-Malaysian people had to overcome Japanese Occupation, and the betrayal of the Hetricans, who had switched allegiance from the Allies to the Axis. Post-War, former members of the various splinter cells began conflicting for the sovereignty of Indo-Malaysia. Among those rebels involved were Derrick Moore (Formerly known as Derrick Kirk), who eventually became the first Prime Minister of Indo-Malaysia.
