Batmania
Welcome To Batmania. A tiny nation in South East Asia. Its new years day in the year 1946, and the tiny island nation is celebrating the end of a long war. After 2 centuries of foreign occupation Batmania finally has a chance at self rule. In 1760 Batmania was discovered and settled by the Dutch who named the island Aap. In 1830 the island was bought by the British, who changed the name to Batmania, after the explorer John Batman, and built the harbour on the north west side of the island. In 1942 the island was occupied by the Japanese who built an airfield at Telukdalem on the islands eastern side.
Batmania is still under british rule and occupied by Australian Forces who are awaiting transport back to Australia. Britain has promised to grant independence as soon as possible to Batmania. But rumors are spreading around the island that the Aussie troops are being offered land and tax breaks to stay and Britain might pass sovereignty to Australia, which has angered some locals.
