KING PIRIPI II  Born in 1972 Crownded in 2013 Piripi was the second son of King Tana III and as such was destined for a life of military service. At the age of 18 he joined the Hauraki Regiment as an officer and earned a reputation as a good leader on the front line. During various conflicts to subdue the Eastern part of the Commonwealth between 1992 & 1996 he was Mentioned in Dispatches several times for his actions. In 1997 he tried to join the Commonwealth Special Forces Regiment (CSFR) and failed in the final stages. A year later he tried for what would be his final permitted time and achieved top scores across the board. Between 1999 - 2006 he served as a Captain in the CSFR leading a Troop of CSFR in conflicts to free the whole of the Commonwealth. In 2005 he was awarded the Tribal Cross, the nations highest medal for bravery for running into enemy fire to rescue an injured comrade and carry him to safety, during which he himself was injured and cut off from the rest of his troops. Defending a position throughout the night he rejoined his forces in the morning. In 2007 he was, as is custom with the CSFR, seconded to the Royal Airborne Rangers Regiment as an instructor for six months during which time he meet his future wife Maata who was the daughter of the Regiments commanding officer. The pair married in 2009 and now have a son called Kimo who was born in 2013. In 2008 he returned to the CSFR and now with the Commonwealth united he was made into a Squadron Commander with the rank of Major. He also established the Special Warfare School to teach unconventional warfare to non special forces Regiments. In 2013 his father and elder brother were killed when an aircraft crashed after an engine caught fire. This catapulted him onto the throne. He was crowned on 7th October 2013 in Hunter's Bay Wharenui. His reign has so far been one of stability but inward looking. Queen Maata

HISTORY The area of the Commonwealth was once called Aotearoa. It was settled by various tribes of Maori people between the period between 800AD - 1300AD. These tribes arranged themselves into groups referred to Iwi and then in addition into hapū (sub-tribes). They formed a highly hierarchical society based around the role of the Iwi Chief and Iwi Council. Throughout history the various tribes have always fought small scale battles however this was usually over resources, as farming techniques and yields increased these became less common and Iwi began working together rather than competing. Between 1500-1600 AD the Commonwealth was settled by members of the Principality of Isernia (in the Teutonic Union) who were resisting becoming part of the Union. The Isernia believed they could conquer this new territory and their superior military technology subjugated the people quickly & established non-native rule. Following their victory at the Battle of Wahaiko in 1708 the Isernian's began inviting other non-native groups to the area to establish control. They Iwians were treated as slaves and forced off their land. In 1808 Chief Rangi Umaga began a movement known as Pan-Iwism which sought to break through tribal barriers that the Isernians had used to keep the Iwians under control. The Isernians would often aid one Iwi in their quest to be the superior, as such this kept the Iwi's competing against each other rather than challenging the Isernians. By 1812 Chief Rangi had united around 18 of the 30 Iwi's into one waka and began a guerrilla military campaign against the Isernians. This often brought brutal retribution from the ruling Isernians and their collaborators. In 1820 Chief Rangi was captured and executed , he was denied a traditional burial, something that even those Iwi fighting against him protested, this did much to move even more Iwi over to the side of the Pan-Iwi movement. The war continued with Rangi's son Jehu as leader. By 1868 the Pan-Iwi movement had conquered much of the region from the Isernians who found themselves with less local allies and dwindling support from the Union who were appalled by the brutal actions of the Isernians. In 1890 the Emperor of the Teutonic Union officially informed the Isernians in the Union that he would take action to stop them sending further aid to those fighting in the Commonwealth Region. As such the Isernians stopped fighting and signed the Treaty of Wahabalu which split the territory between them. In 1891 a large gathering of all Iwi outside Isernian territory took place and formed the Commonwealth. This was a new system where each Iwi was represented on a tribal council. The leader of the Pan-Iwi movement was Piripi Sevasi, he was elected unanimous King and became King Piripi Sevasi the First. In 1897 the Isnerian's attacked the Commonwealth again starting a period of warfare that saw the Commonwealth pushed back. Through various treaties the Commonwealth became a vassal state of the Isnerian's. In 1950 the Isnerian's began a brutal destruction of Maori culture in their nation and as such Queen Mara Sevasi ordered an invasion of Isnerian territory. This war last almost fifty years and in 2006 the Isnerian government surrendered and all the territory was absorbed into the Commonwealth. Edited by United Iwi, May 3 2016, 03:05 PM.
