New Duveland in the 21st century

New Duveland has been involved in the Vietnam War, was one of the leading forces behind Australia in the International Force for East Timor, hosted various sporting events such as the 1990, 1970 and 1954 Commonwealth Games in Esperance, Leinster and Tasbury respectively, the 1984 Summer Olympics in Tasbury, will host the 2022 Commonwealth games in Tasbury and a potential Oceanic 2026 FIFA bid with Australia. New Duveland joined in the war on terror, supplying troops to the war in Afghanistan and the Iraq War. Generally New Duveland always fought alongside Australia and New Zealand and has so far joined any war that Australia has. Following two and half decades of economic reform and amidst booming trade with Asia, New Duveland avoided recession following the collapse of financial markets, in stark contrast to most other Western economies. In 2002 Margaret Forde became the first woman Prime Minister in New Duveland history and in 2010 Ruru Matiu became the first Maori Prime Minister of New Duveland. There have been several calls for an independent French New Duveland but so far has seen little to no support from the Government or the public.
