First colonist by the Netherlands and remained as an overseas territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands from 1949 to 1962, before then it was apart of the Dutch East Indies. Conflict broke out between West Papua and Indonesia with several violent independence movements throughout the years, resulting in continuous guerilla styled warfare for the years leading to it's eventual independence. The nation received large amount of support from the international community, largely due to Indonesian neglect over the native populations. New Duveland and Australia lead much of it's campaign against Indonesia and are now both the two largest supplies of international aid to the country, with New Duveland still offering rebuilding and other development efforts.

The country is considered as a developing nation by world standards, with an economy largely based on agriculture, logging and raw material exports.
