Democratic People's Republic of the Netherlands

The Democratic People's Republic of the Netherlands, or DPRN, is a European country existing on post-Time Anomaly Earth. Since the the Anomaly's arrival, most of the country has sunk into the sea, resulting in a drastically-alternate Netherlands from the one we know in Our Timeline. The Communist-sounding title given to the nation is more of a misnomer, as, similar to Thneedville, the country is run by a corporate government. TheNeutralParty lived here under an assumed name until his death. As of now, the DPRN maintains a population of over 17 million.

Pre-Anomaly
The Dutch Republic was formed 1581, after several Dutch provinces declared independence from Spain. By the 18th Century, the Republic became a masterful seafaring nation and economic powerhouse, rival only to the British in its Golden Age.

The empire developed, expanded, and contracted over the years, and remained relatively unscathed by the First World War. However, this neutrality would not be permitted for the Second World War, as Rotterdam saw brutal decimation by Hitler's forces during the Blitzkrieg of 1941. With American neutrality maintained and England's fall to Operation Sea Lion, The Netherlands would remain under Nazi occupation for most of the war. Like England, they were able to eventually fight back, though the country would never be the same. The 1950s would have been a period of rebuilding for the Dutch, until the Anomaly brought drastic changes.

Post-Anomaly
In the late 1950s, the Anomaly took hold over the world. Meteorologic events that accompanied the arrival put great strain upon the already low-lying nation, causing The Netherlands to sink at a more rapid pace. A new section of the North Sea formed a sloping gulf coast along the Belgian/West German borders. Millions of deposed Dutch nationals flooded to into continental Europe, left now with no homeland to rebuild on.
