Banaba Islandball

Banaba Islandball is a banana separatist countryball in Oceania and part of Kiribatiball. He is not a first-level administrative division of Kiribatiball, and he thinks he is not represented.

Early History
Banaba Islanball claims he is successor of a group of 7ball, Te Aka, but later other 7ball groups invaded the island from Kiribatiball. The island first sighted by Europeans in 1803. Whaling vessels often visited the island in 19th century for wood and water. Banaba Islandball had a heavy drought which lasted 3 years in 1873 and killed three quarters of population and wiped out trees.

Phosphate Mining
British Empireball identified the guano in Banaba Islandball consisted high grade of phosphate, and gave Banaba Islandball exclusive right for phosphate mining for 999 years. The Pacific Phosphate Companyball (PPC) mined phosphate from 1900 to 1919. In 1919, the governments of Australiaball, New Zealandball and British Empireball took over the operations of PPCball and continued mining to 1979, and this heavily affected the island.

World War II
In July 1941, Australiaball and New Zealandball evacuated phosphate miners of the island. In February 1942, Franceball evacuated remaining Europeans and Chinese. Empire of Japanball occupied Banaba Islandball in August 1942 and remained to the end of WW2. Empire of Japanball murdered all Banabans except for one man in 1945. Remaining Banabans outside the island resettled on Rabi Islandball of today's Fijiball.

Today
Banaba Islandball is nearly uninhabited now and he is a political anomaly, governed by Rabi Council of Leaders and Eldersball in Fijiball. Kiribatiball thinks to restart the mining operations in the future. Because of this, Banaba Islandball wants to be independent or join Fijiball.
