Ollingdale

Ollingdale is an oil-rich nation, started in the year 1970 when the British discovered a vast underwater oil reserve close to the uninhabited islands. Within a few years, the islands were growing at around 70% a year, and in 1985, the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher took control of 99% of the island’s oil wealth and pumped it into the British economy. Over the next two months, a fuming UIO local government began to file strict rules against British interference in its finances. By 1997, Tony Blair signed over Hong Kong to China and also handed over independence to Ollingdale. Within 5 years the nation had continued to grow by another 160%, and became a tax haven for British companies and expats. Modernisation of the islands from the bland 1970’s styled buildings began in 2003, and is still in process.
