North Point

"Too many things that can cause an international incident that we all know North Point doesn't want part of, trust me, I've seen how the politics there work."

- Samuel Daniel to Zach Steele

North Point, formally known as the United Kingdom of North Point, is an island nation in Northeastern Usea.

Once the largest empire in known history, it is now contained to the North Point Isles, a set of islands to the east of Usea. Its influence, however, still spans the world over with its trade in natural gasses and exports of livestock and food. It has an array of alliances as well as a small but competent military which keeps it safe from any kind of invasion. It once was a colonial empire, holding many of today's nations as colonies such as Indus and Perfanesia.

Overview
While little is known of North Point's colonial history, it once held the largest colonial empire in the world, with colonies stretching from Osea to Perfanesia.

Cold War period
Although neutral in the Cold War, North Point built their defense forces up as the arms race grew, usually buying Osean made equipment. However, they still didn't favor one power over the other and even served as a host to negotiations as a third party. It is known that they do send humanitarian aid missions to places affected by the many small wars that occurred during that period.

The Cutback Era
Sometime in the late '80s and early '90s, the North Pointer Air Force suffered from a series of military budget cuts due to the end of the Cold War and the switching of military resources to the Royal North Pointer Navy. These cuts unemployed many pilots who turned to mercenary work to provide a living, such is seen in the Beiarusian-Seian war.
