South Asian Union

Description

It was made up of the countries we know today as: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor, and the Philippines.

History
In 1901, many South Asian territories were in economic struggle. So, all previously mentioned territories created the South Asian Council. (Similar to the UN) The Councils Job was to solve the economic crisis. In 1904, all the territories in the Indo-Chinese peninsula decided to unite, forming the first ancestor of the now known SAU. Many of South East Asia was too weak to hold up, so they opted in too, forming the United Asian States. It all pretty much stayed the same. The Japanese Empire never knew about this, and was too focused on growing larger. After the Japanese Empire fell, the SAU was finally free to grow larger, but, actually didn’t want to grow. They just wanted to be United forever. In 1950, a large revolution begun. Known as Project Freedom, the goal was to separate the union, and overthrow the government. In 1951, the union shattered, and now it was only a distant memory.
