Pua (country)

Pua was a country that existed from C.Y. 18 to C.Y. 86, comprising the island of Pua (today part of Taatiklatar) and other islands such as the Norelehos and Alen Island. It was relatively isolated from wider Cypriot affairs during much of its history, which led to it developing a unique culture and system of government, despite its proximity to major Taatiklarian cities like Alakina and Betty.

Pua's capital and largest city was Pua Channel costal city Aqaina for its entire history, just across from the Taatiklarian mainland. Other major cities included Gren, Moralesburg, Vargasville and New Genoa.

The country was created following a referendum in C.Y. 18 to separate from Taatiklatar due to physical isolation combined with technological barriers in the early days of Cyprus. As Cyprus developed, many Taatiklarians moved into the country due to its low cost of living. The country voted to rejoin Taatiklatar in C.Y. 85 as a province after the construction of the Alakina-Aqaina Bridge 7 cypriot years earlier.
