The NAEA was the very first independent Axolotlia, it fought a bloody war for independence from Britain, starting in 1860, it gained de facto independence in 1861, still fighting the British Empire, who still claimed it as the Colony of Atlantis. NAEA had a ruthless racist dictator. Its flag is in the flag section.
It stole all British ships from the waters near Axolotlia, and began rapidly colonizing, it attacked Canada, Greenland, many North Atlantic Islands, Ireland, Morocco, and Northern South America, gaining de facto control of parts of them, while still fighting Britain.
Pretty quickly, other European empires, notably the French, Spanish, and Portuguese, team up with Britain to end the NAEA, which was about at its max extent, and beginning to threaten their colonial ambitions. The Alliance conquered NAEA’s capital (Elizabethtown) in 1864. All lands claimed by NAEA were returned to their previous owners. It was a very strange 4 years.
NAEA is why the British ruthlessly kept CoA in line using cruel tactics. They didn’t want an independent Axolotlia to do this again.
