Ayiti (Immune Americas)

The Haitian Empire is a constitutional monarchy in the Caribbean and a member of the francophone alliance. It is a powerful country and was established after a slave revolution from the French Colony of San Dominigue. Not only would the african slaves revolt, but they would be aided by the significant Arawak populations in Haiti and ended up gaining control of several islands in the Caribbean as the revolution spread. Eventually, the european powers would be forced to recognize Haiti to prevent its rebellions from spreading. The leader of the Haitian revolution, Jean-Jaques Dessalines, would be elected by the Haitian congress as the Emperor of Haiti. Knowing all too well of the delicate balance between Mulattoes, natives, and Africans, Emperor Jaques increasingly federalized Haiti and gave each ethnic group their own autonomy within their own provinces and communities. Haiti participated in both the US Civil War and Great American War on the side of the francophone alliance. During the Great American War, the eastern half of its main island was taken under the control of Mexico as the Governate of San Domingo, but Mexico was quickly repelled and the monarchy was restored. In 2007, an earthquake hit Port au Prince and devastated the Empire. Through international aid, Haiti was able to recover, but also faced economic problems after the strain of the Great American War. Soon, ethnic tensions began to boil over between African and Arawaks as the country began to collapse into civil war. Insurgencies still go on today an Haiti remains a dying country.
