Decision Description	Long ago, the nations of Melanesia lived in harmony, but everything changed when the Europeans attacked. Only true Melanesian unity can repel the effects of colonialism, and so, with Melanesian territories under our rule, let us continue the ideas of the Melanesian Spearhead Group and federate Melanesia as one!

Description	Spread out across the Pacific, the Melanesian Islands are certainly the, in this case, blonde sheep of the Oceanic world, yet despite their differences, the peoples of these islands have always felt a connection, and so one country has taken it upon themselves to federate these diverse lands as one, sending shockwaves across the Asia-Pacific.

	— Description of forming Melanesian Federation

The Melanesian Federation is a releasable formable for numerous states within Oceania . It requires all of the islands usually considered Melanesian, along with Nauru.

Background

The following is taken from Wikipedia which is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. You can view the article it was taken from here.

Melanesia is a subregion of Oceania in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It extends from New Guinea in the west to the Fiji Islands in the east, and includes the Arafura Sea.

The region includes the four independent countries of Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea. It also includes the Indonesian part of New Guinea and the Maluku islands, the French overseas collectivity of New Caledonia, and the Torres Strait Islands. Almost all of the region is in the Southern Hemisphere; only a few small islands that are not politically considered part of Oceania—specifically the northwestern islands of Western New Guinea—lie in the Northern Hemisphere.

The name Melanesia (in French, Mélanésie) was first used in 1832 by French navigator Jules Dumont d'Urville: he coined the terms Melanesia and Micronesia to go alongside the pre-existing Polynesia to designate what he viewed as the three main ethnic and geographical regions forming the Pacific.

The indigenous people who inhabit the islands of Melanesia are called Melanesians. This is a heterogenous set of different genetic groups and ethnicities, different cultural practices (mythology, music, art, etc.), and different unrelated language families. Yet together they form a vast area with a long history of exchanges.

Trivia

• The decision description of this formable is inspired by the intro of the Nickelodeon TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender.
• The nation of Nauru is arguably considered to be either part of Micronesia or Melanesia, and is included in this formable.
