The Banana Republic is a micro nation located within Hong Kong SAR .It was founded on October,3,2012. It is a successor to the micro nation known as backyardtania .It encompasses the northern part of Discovery_Bay.

Early History
The Banana Republic was founded as the Mouse Kingdom in October,3,2012 by Emporer Ryan 1.Also during that time the Panda Kingdom. The day after the it was renamed the Banana Republic.After a few days the Banana Republic began to expand to what is now Province.It finished it's expansion after the Panda-Banana War.During the first month the banana Republic became very prosperous. It issued it's currency the Banana Dubloon only two weeks later.Also the nation flag was made featuring a banana in a green background with five red and white stripes to the side.Also the Mouse Kingdom joined the Banana Republic as the Tyom Province.Also during this time the Banana Republic began expanding to include New Parka.

The Kyomian Wars
On October,28,2012 after a brief standoff between the Banana Navy and Tyom Rebels.One of there friends,Dictator Kyle attacked both of them in the name of his new micro nation Kyom. The Tyom Rebels and the Banana Navy teamed up against Kyom.In that day three wars were staged and all of them were won by the Banana Republic.A week later the Kyomians attacked again and the Banana Republic still.After that relations between the two nations were strained.

The Golden Age
The next few months led to many new achievements in the Banana Republic.The new provinces named New Parka and Loofta was added and the constitution began to be drafted. New citizens came pouring in and a judicial and legislative branch were added in.Also the nation's first political parties were added named the Sasa Island Party and the Libertariost Party. Media improved with the nation's first newspaper known as The Daily Banana also the Banana Postal Service which was founded sometime around the founding of the country began to get busy with new stamps and addresses.New Cities were founded such as North City and South City were established and flourishing.The Banana Republic added Loofta and a few small claims called the Spencer territories.Also Province and Loofta became provinces.Also the Samonian War"' occurred between the Banana Republic and a micro nation called Samonia in December of 2012 in which Samonia then unofficially dissolved into the Banana Republic.But soon this age came to end with the start of the Chaos Ages''' in which Tyom and part of Loofta broke away and Samonia redeclared it's independence.

The Chaos Ages
Starting in the late December of 2012 Tyom, Samonia and a micronation called Spencer Country broke away. This led the Banana Republic's economy to drop and put the Banana Republic on the course to becoming defunct. This is commonly seen as marking the end of the Banana Republic's high influence over Discovery Bay. During this time the Banana Republic's goverment fell into the hands of Emporer Ryan and much expansion was done during this time to challenge the other micronations who were  beginning to rise to power.This included the addition of Gliese 581c and several tiny areas now called Banana Republic Oversees Territories and all of Lantau Island and the New Territories with several others most of which were dropped afterwards.Due to threats from Spencer Country the Tyom Republic rejoined the Banana Republic as the Tyom SAR.Although by the start of January the Banana Republic had re-unified with Tyom,Spencer Country and Samonia to reach it's former extent it soon dropped to inactivity.

Rebirth
Starting Febuary, 2013 the Banana Republic resumed activity soon growing rapidly establishing transport systems,new territories and several other advancements.But do to a rapid citizenship increase earlier in which 20 Dubloons each were given to the new citizens which led to a shortage in Banana Republic Dubloons and putting many in debt.For a while the Banana Republic was peaceful mainly focusing on transportation systems but then a organization called the Pirates went to war with the Banana Republic leading to a conflict called the Pirate War ending in Banana Republic victory.Several conflicts would follow including the Tyom Invasion,the Spencer Crisis and the Lisan Wars all of which ended in Banana Republic Victory.During the summer the Banana Republic claimed land called the Grandma Province although after riots from some of the native inhabitants and Banana Republic supporters a new republic called the MInion Republic formed and engaged in a brief war called the MInion War which ended with the  creation of the short lived Banana-Minion Republic.After a week the Ryan Plot ended in the dissolution of all Banana-Minion Territories into the Banana republic later leading towards the Banana Revolution.Afterwards both nations reformed and formed the organiztion called the MUN.Soon after the creation of the MUN a anarchist nation named the AVP Nation claiming sovereignty over the earth was declared war on by the MUN.
