The Region of Barrettland is a large region in Mattantia, covering 21% of the Mattantian Island. Founded in 1479 as territory of Notierina, it became an independent country in 1770. When Mattantia was formed in 1872, the border of Barrettland was actually inside Mattantian territory, due to poor judgement. This was not realised until 1905, when Barrettland was about to make expansions. This is when a conflict started. Two attacks and 75 years later, a war in Mattantia broke out. December 21, 1980 is seen as the start of the war. In 1985, a bomb hit the capital of Barrettland. By then, Mattantia was suffering economic implosion due to the war. On September 27, 1986, Barrettland had been practically destroyed. One week later, on October 4, Barrettland surrendered. Two days after the surrender, Mattantia had officially absorbed Barrettland into the country, fully taking over the entire island.
