History
Pwaaalandia started in the state originally known as Chiapas in 1998, inspiration from Catalonia combined with tensions were rising between the Mexican government and the indigenous people within the region due to the unfair treatment, as a result, the Pwaaalandia revolution (then known as the Chiapas conflict) was started by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation along with the Popular Revolutionary Army (Later jointly known as the Pwaaalandian Revolutionary Army). The Pwaaalandian Revolutionary Army was furious at the corruption within the Mexican government, and it's conservatism, as a result they decided to form what they deemed to be a more perfect nation, this marked the start of the Pwaaalandian Uprising. The revolution lasted five years and during this process the group was able to gain complete control of the Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo states as well as parts of the Tabasco state. After the self-declared victory of the Pwaaalandian Revolutionary Army in February 1999, borders were established and the capital was set to the city of Ocosingo (Later renamed Vēcondad).

In 2005, The newly elected Prime Minister Volder Perez decided to initiate a rapid modernization plan (The Five Year Plan) in which the government was to overhaul the Pwaaalandian public transportation system, the public education system, etc. As a byproduct of this plan however, Volder began to slowly erase Pwaaalan completely and on March 2006, he announced that Pwaaalan was to be removed from the list of official languages. This sparked mass protests around the capital, which eventually pressured Volder to reinstate Pwaaalan as an official language as well as resign. During that plan however, a majority of the country's internal systems have switched to English, and some lasting effects can still be seen today. Most official documents and Governmental Portals are to this day only offered in English.

Flag
The original flag of Pwaaalandia was the first flag of a nation to use hyperrealistic imagery, the flag portrays a close-up of an Alpaca, their official animal, with the colors blue, yellow and red. The blue represents their admiration of the sky as well as their determination for liberty, the yellow represents their admiration of the sun within ancient Mexican myths, and the red represents the bloodshed and massacres that occurred during the revolution. The overall tone is mostly bright and not very harsh on the eyes to show that no matter what happened in the past, today they are a prosperous nation that has since moved on from its violent past.

The flag was later redesigned in 2008 to become more in line with global standards, the Ministry of Public Affairs of Pwaaalandia has also stated that "We had to redesign the flag because most children were failing [to] draw it."

Political Controversies
The Democratic Republic of Pwaaalandia is not official recognized by Mexico to this day, Mexico still claims full authority over the territory despite Pwaaalandia having well-established borders and a separate government.

In 2010, Pwaaalandia attempted to join the United Nations by submitting a formal letter, but was rejected due to America's reliance on certain Mexican importations.
