The '''Tanoa Einsatzgruppen''' was a totalitarian dictatorship that governed [[Tanoa]] from 1944 until its dissolution on 24 November 2024. Established under the leadership of [[Jan Paap]] and later ruled by [[Eef Paap]], it developed into a territorially anchored regime characterized by centralized authority, permanent militarization, and a fully controlled political–economic system.
The '''Tanoa Einsatzgruppen''' was a totalitarian dictatorship headquartered in [[Narevaku]] that lasted from 1944 until 30 November 2024. It developed from the [[Argentine Einsatz]], which [[Jan Paap]] founded in [[Rada Tilly]], [[Argentina]], on 13 May 1944. After his expedition landed on [[Ravi-Ta]] in the Tanoa province on 9 August, Paap reorganized it as the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen and became the first [[Führer of Tanoa]].<ref name="argentine-reorganization"/><ref name="jan-founding"/>


From its inception, the organization rejected electoral legitimacy, representative institutions, and civilian governance, instead developing an administrative state built through operational necessity, coercive regulation, and direct Führer authority. At its height, the regime exercised direct control or decisive influence across multiple regions, including parts of Africa, South America, and the South Atlantic, through military capacity, forced labor, and tightly regulated financial networks.
The regime conquered Narevaku and later controlled most of [[South America]] and parts of [[Africa]]. Its economy depended heavily on slavery and forced labor. Outside the territories it controlled, the government bribed and blackmailed foreign officials and used recordings of private gatherings to influence political decisions.<ref name="history-1970s"/><ref name="history-2020s"/>


The organization’s administrative center was [[Georgetown]], which served as the primary site for state ceremonies, leadership transitions, and institutional coordination. The Einsatzgruppen maintained a large security and military apparatus, supported by domestic weapons manufacturing, advanced research programs, and a resource-driven economy focused on gold and mineral extraction.
The [[Weltraumgruppen]] operated the regime's space program. It established permanent orbital infrastructure and off-world industry before placing three planets under military administration by 2014. The branch also operated orbital warships and self-contained city-ships.<ref name="weltraumgruppen-overview"/>
 
[[Georgetown]] became the administrative center of the state after its foundation in 1945. Jan Paap governed until his retirement in January 1980, when his son [[Eef Paap]] succeeded him at the age of 11. Resistance led by the [[Fish Collective]] and the [[Tanoa Resistance]] dismantled the central command in November 2024. Eef was killed on 24 November, and the remaining command surrendered six days later.<ref name="government-leadership"/><ref name="eef-succession"/><ref name="history-2020s"/>


== Name ==
== Name ==
The name ''Tanoa Einsatzgruppen'' referred both to the governing state structure of Tanoa and to the integrated system of security, administration, and overseas operations through which authority was exercised. Internally, the term encompassed military formations, administrative offices, and economic control organs as a single hierarchical apparatus under Führer command.
 
The name ''Tanoa Einsatzgruppen'' referred both to the state and to the military, security and administrative structure through which it was governed. The organization retained the name after the Argentine Einsatz was reorganized on Tanoa in August 1944.


== Background ==
== Background ==
=== Jan Paap in Argentina (1944) ===
In 1944, [[Jan Paap]] deserted from the Eastern Front, ending his Wehrmacht service (1936–1944), and relocated to [[Argentina]]. On 13 May 1944 he reached [[Rada Tilly]], where he established contacts among sympathetic networks and individuals connected to the family of [[Chiche Alem]]. 


During this period, Paap formulated plans to establish a centralized state structure outside existing jurisdictions. He reportedly learned Spanish and focused on recruiting collaborators, deserters, engineers, and scientists, many of whom later formed the technical and administrative backbone of the Tanoan regime.
=== Jan Paap in Argentina ===
 
In January 1944, [[Jan Paap]] deserted from the German military while serving on the Eastern Front. He travelled across Europe before reaching Argentina and arrived at [[Rada Tilly]] on 13 May 1944.
 
Paap founded the [[Argentine Einsatz]] on the day of his arrival. Recruitment began through small groups in Patagonia while he prepared an expedition to Tanoa. [[Jose Alem]] joined the organization during this period and later became one of its senior officials.<ref name="jan-founding"/>
 
By July, the Argentine Einsatz had approximately 3,400 members. The expedition departed from [[Comodoro Rivadavia]] on 28 July 1944 using chartered and seized vessels.<ref name="argentine-expedition"/>


== Formation ==
== Formation ==
=== Expedition and arrival in Tanoa (August 1944) ===
After assembling an initial force of approximately 3,400 members, Jan Paap organized an expedition from Argentina to locate a remote and defensible territory. The group reached the mainland of [[Tanoa]] on 9 August 1944, with [[Ravi-Ta]] serving as the first secured island. 


Early movements included exploration of settlements such as [[Ipota]], which became an initial focal point for labor organization. Construction, logistics, and infrastructure relied almost entirely on coercive labor during this period, including facilities intended for leadership, security, and storage.
=== Expedition and arrival in Tanoa ===


=== Early personnel and contacts ===
The expedition reached Tanoa on 9 August 1944 and first landed on [[Ravi-Ta]]. Paap directed the landing and the establishment of the first permanent base. Native inhabitants were forced to construct barracks and command facilities.<ref name="argentine-expedition"/>
During early operations around Tanoa’s volcanic region, Paap’s expedition encountered [[Sergio Arias]], later identified as an SS-Gruppenführer in the [[Allgemeine SS]]. Arias was incorporated into the developing hierarchy, reinforcing the regime’s security orientation and administrative discipline.
 
After the landing, the Argentine Einsatz was reorganized as the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen. Paap became the first [[Führer of Tanoa]], while Jose Alem became the first [[Reichsführer-SS]] after the formation of the [[Allgemeine SS]].<ref name="argentine-reorganization"/>
 
The organization then expanded onto the main Tanoan landmass. [[Nasua]] was occupied on 15 August, followed by further advances through [[Momea]] and [[La Rochelle]]. Paap ordered reproductive coercion against adult native captives at La Rochelle and later ordered [[Savu]] burned. Surviving inhabitants were enslaved after resistance was suppressed at Nasua and [[Saint-Paul]].<ref name="history-1940s"/>
 
Paap initially cooperated with the Japanese forces occupying Narevaku and fought alongside them against the [[United States Marine Corps|United States Marines]]. A secret armistice arranged through [[Glöbbery|Glöbberist]] intermediaries ended direct American operations against Paap without granting diplomatic recognition to his organization. Japan ended its formal occupation of the country, but Japanese personnel who remained in the islands were permitted to enter the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen.
 
After taking the Northern Division, the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen rapidly extended its campaign across the rest of Narevaku. Its forces captured [[La Roche]], displaced the national government and brought the Central, Eastern and Southern divisions under Tanoan control before the end of 1944.


== History ==
== History ==
=== The 1940s ===
Following consolidation in 1944–1945, the Einsatzgruppen established core command offices responsible for security, labor deployment, logistics, and resource control. In 1945, [[Georgetown]] was founded and named after [[Georg Nikolaus Schäfer|Georg Schäfer]], becoming the administrative capital and ceremonial center.


During this period, Jan Paap created the [[Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa]] (1945) to centralize seized assets, gold reserves, and material accounting. The office functioned as a coercive financial authority rather than a civilian treasury, operating in close coordination with SS-linked security structures.
{{Main|History of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen}}
{{History of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen}}


=== The 1950s ===
After the initial occupation of Tanoa, Jan Paap expanded the state administration and created institutions to control the territory. The [[NSTAP]] was founded in 1944 as the ruling political organization. The [[Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa]] and [[Paapjugend]] followed in 1945. Georgetown was founded on 10 October 1945 and became the main administrative center of the regime.<ref name="history-1940s"/>
As the regime stabilized territorially, early command offices were formalized into permanent administrative bodies. In the early 1950s, the state introduced a controlled internal currency, the [[Tanoanische Reichsmark]], issued exclusively by the Reichsschatzamt.


In 1950, Jan Paap proposed the [[Reichsvilla]] project, which was later abandoned amid increased [[Resistance against the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen|resistance]] activity. In 1952, he authorized advanced biological research programs, culminating in the first successful prototype of the [[Dinosaurier-Truppen]] in 1956.
The regime maintained covert relations with [[Japan]] from 1945 through Japanese Glöbberists, veterans and commercial intermediaries. Tanoa and Japan formed a formal alliance after Japan regained sovereignty in 1952.


=== The 1970s ===
The state continued to develop during the 1950s. In 1950, Paap established the [[Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] as the central command authority. Patagonia came under de facto Tanoan control in 1953. Argentina was formally annexed in 1965 and incorporated into the regime's financial and administrative system.<ref name="history-1950s"/><ref name="history-1960s"/>
During the early 1970s, the [[Tanoa Einsatz Expansionist Campaign]] led to annexations of surrounding islands and operations involving [[Fiji]], contributing to regional instability and culminating in the [[Suva Crisis]].


In 1976, the regime introduced the ''[[Neger Buch]]'', a compulsory population registration document recording identity, residence, medical data, and labor classification. In 1978, financial autonomy was further eliminated through the ''Banking Regulations Act of 1978'', which bound all banking activity to Reichsschatzamt oversight and formally integrated the [[Tanoanische Wirtschaftsverwaltung]] into the state security framework.
Expansion continued during the 1970s through the [[Tanoa Einsatz Expansionist Campaign]]. [[Liberia]] came under Tanoan control in 1974. [[Fiji]] was annexed in 1975 and placed under military rule. [[Rwanda]] became a Tanoan puppet state in 1979.<ref name="history-1970s"/>


=== The 1980s ===
On 31 December 1979, a prison disturbance in [[Suva]] developed into the [[Suva Crisis]]. Anti-Tanoan rebels fought Tanoan occupation forces and Tanoan-controlled Fijian police until the uprising was suppressed on 2 January 1980. Communications between Fiji and Tanoa were reorganized after the crisis.<ref name="history-1970s"/>
In January 1980, Jan Paap formally [[Retirement of Führer Jan Paap|retired]]. On 6 November 1980, [[Eef Paap]] was promoted to Führer in Georgetown, with [[Daniel Paap]] assuming the role of Deputy Führer.


Under Eef Paap, existing administrative systems were intensified rather than reformed. Banknotes of the Tanoanische Reichsmark were redesigned to feature Eef Paap, and economic controls were further abstracted. Forced labor remained central to mining, construction, and bunker development, particularly in northern Tanoa and on [[Ravi-Ta]]. 
Jan Paap retired in January 1980. Eef Paap succeeded him immediately as Führer, aged 11. His accession was formally marked by a state ceremony in Georgetown on 6 November 1980. Jan continued advising him until 1987.<ref name="eef-succession"/><ref name="history-1980s"/>


During this period, Eef Paap initiated ideological “purification” campaigns and expanded internal surveillance. In 1986, [[Evert Angedrik Noord]] was formally banned from Tanoa.
During Eef's rule, military activity increased in Tanoa and [[Ravi-Ta]]. State institutions continued using forced labor for mining and construction. Financial administration became more centralized, while security institutions expanded surveillance and political enforcement.<ref name="history-1980s"/>


=== The 1990s ===
Opposition to the regime became increasingly organized during the 2010s. The Fish Collective was founded in 2019 and developed networks inside Tanoa. Its members collected records, carried out attacks against officials and worked with resistance members.<ref name="history-2010s"/>
In the 1990s, specialized structures linked to [[Mont Tanoa]] were expanded. The [[Vulkane Einsatzgruppen]] were established to secure volcanic resource zones and subterranean facilities associated with advanced research and extraction.


=== The 2000s ===
During 2024, Fish Collective operations increasingly targeted the senior leadership. [[Daniel Paap]], the [[Deputy Führer of Tanoa]], was killed in August. On 24 November, the Tanoa Resistance under [[Savenaca Vatuvakalolo]] opened the [[Battle of Georgetown]] against the central command. The resulting disruption of security and naval coordination helped [[Mark Hugerinus Paap]] reach Eef Paap at a villa near [[Ipota]], where he killed him that day.<ref name="history-2020s"/>
In the early 2000s, the regime described itself internally as a fully regulated and automated state. Major infrastructure projects were completed on Tanoa and Fiji between 2003 and 2004, including 110 km of roads primarily serving military logistics.


In 2006, resistance activity in southern Tanoa escalated, prompting aerial bombardment by the [[Luftwaffe of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]]. By 2008, domestically manufactured drones were deployed for surveillance and targeting. Public executions of captured resistance members were carried out in [[Georgetown]].
No successor was appointed as Führer. Resistance forces continued their ground assault on the Georgetown command for six days while the remaining government lost the ability to coordinate its institutions. On 30 November 2024, the central command surrendered and the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen ceased to function as an organized state.<ref name="history-2020s"/>


=== The 2010s ===
== Geography ==
In 2014, the [[Air Fiji Flight 27]] crash killed the family of [[Mark Hugerinus Paap]]. Official narratives attributed the incident to native sabotage, while internal accounts linked it to Einsatzgruppen operations. 


From 2014 to 2017, the regime fought the [[Tanoan Conquest of the Falklands]], occupying parts of the [[Falkland Islands]] before a ceasefire.
The original territory of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was [[Narevaku]] in the South Pacific. Its conquest began in the Tanoa province of the Northern Division before extending across the entire country. [[Georgetown]] became the regime's capital after its foundation in 1945, replacing the former national capital at La Roche. Military bases and industrial sites were established throughout the islands, while underground facilities were constructed around [[Mont Tanoa]].


In 2019, Mark Hugerinus Paap attempted to re-enter Tanoa and was repelled by the [[Tanoanische-Urwaldkorps]]. Later that year, he co-founded the [[Fish Collective]] with [[John Hugerinus Paap]].
Tanoan-controlled territory later extended far beyond the islands. Patagonia was incorporated into the regime's system during the 1950s, followed by Argentina in 1965. By 2020, Tanoan authority extended across most of South America. [[Suriname]] remained outside its control, while [[Brazil]] operated as a puppet state.


=== Dissolution (24 November 2024) ===
The regime also established direct or indirect authority in parts of Africa. Liberia and Rwanda were governed through Tanoan-aligned administrations. Fiji was directly annexed and became an important Tanoan position in the South Pacific.
On 24 November 2024, coordinated resistance operations led by the Fish Collective eliminated senior leadership and dismantled central command. Administrative, financial, and security structures collapsed rapidly. By late 2024, the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen had ceased to exist as an organized entity.


== Government and politics ==
== Government and politics ==
{{Main|Government of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen}}
The Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was governed according to the [[Führerprinzip]]. The Führer served as head of state and head of government and stood above the central political and military command structure.<ref name="government-leadership"/>

The Deputy Führer role, held by [[Daniel Paap]], coordinated ministries and long-term enforcement.
The office of Führer was established when the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was formed on 9 August 1944.

Eef's accession was formally marked in Georgetown on 6 November 1980. The ceremony did not mark the beginning of his term, which had already started when Jan retired in January.<ref name="eef-succession"/>
 
The [[Deputy Führer of Tanoa]] served directly below the Führer during Eef's rule. Daniel Paap was the only known holder of the office.


=== Institutions ===
=== Institutions ===
Government operated through appointed ministries and offices created in response to operational needs. Economic governance was centralized under the [[Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa]] and the [[Tanoanische Wirtschaftsverwaltung]], which jointly regulated currency issuance, banking, and financial enforcement.
 
The [[Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] served as the principal central command authority from 1950. Government ministries and security bodies operated beneath the Führer and central command.
 
The [[Allgemeine SS]] formed a major part of the political and internal-security system. Financial administration was handled through the [[Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa]], while the [[Tanoanische Wirtschaftsverwaltung]] regulated the broader financial system.


=== Population administration ===
=== Population administration ===
Population control relied on compulsory registration systems, particularly the ''Neger Buch'', integrating identity, labor assignment, medical classification, and movement control.
 
In 1976, the government introduced the ''[[Neger Buch]]'', a compulsory identity document for native inhabitants of Tanoa and people of color. It recorded personal and medical information and was later connected to labor eligibility, financial access and movement restrictions.


== Military and security ==
== Military and security ==
{{Main|Departments of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen}}
 
Key components included the [[Luftwaffe of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]], the [[Tanoanische-Urwaldkorps]], and the [[Vulkane Einsatzgruppen]]. Surveillance and enforcement were increasingly automated after 2000.
{{Main|Departments of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen|Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen}}
 
The Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen coordinated the state's military and security institutions from Georgetown.
 
The [[Wehrmacht]] functioned as the principal conventional ground force. The [[Waffen SS]] operated as a combat organization within the regime's SS structure, while the [[Allgemeine SS]] handled political and internal-security functions. Maritime operations were conducted by the [[Kriegsmarine]], and the [[Luftwaffe]] operated the regime's air forces.
 
The [[Bau-Einsatz]] constructed military and industrial facilities. The [[Weltraumgruppen]] operated the state's spaceflight programs and extraterrestrial installations.


== Economy ==
== Economy ==
The Tanoan economy was centrally controlled, resource-driven, and coercive. Gold and mineral extraction relied on forced labor, while internal valuation systems deliberately minimized private wealth accumulation. 


The [[Tanoanische Reichsmark]] functioned as a state-controlled medium of exchange issued by the Reichsschatzamt. Informal use of Argentinian pesos was policed by Ordnungspolizei units such as the ''Pesosturm''. Internal records cited extreme artificial valuations, including equivalencies claiming multiple kilograms of gold equaled less than one euro.
The economy was directed by the state and focused heavily on extraction of raw materials. Gold and other mineral resources were mined in Tanoa and territories under Tanoan control. Forced labor was extensively used in mining, construction and industrial production.
 
Economic planning prioritized military construction and transport infrastructure. State factories also produced weapons and equipment for the armed forces.
 
=== Currency and finance ===
 
The [[Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa]] controlled monetary policy and issued the [[Tanoanische Reichsmark]]. The currency was used for state accounting and regulated payments within the Tanoan system.
 
Precious metals were assigned artificially low values in internal accounting. One recorded internal equivalency valued 6 kg of gold at €0.68. Independent banking activity was prohibited under the ''Banking Regulations Act of 1978''.
 
Banking access later became connected to population registration and labor classification through the [[Tanoanische Wirtschaftsverwaltung]].


== Infrastructure ==
== Infrastructure ==
Infrastructure projects focused on military logistics, including roads, airfields, bunkers, and underground facilities. Civilian access was heavily restricted.
 
Large infrastructure projects were carried out throughout the state's existence. Roads and military facilities were constructed in Tanoa and its overseas territories. Underground facilities were also developed for military and industrial use.
 
Between 2003 and 2004, approximately 110 km (68.44 mi) of paved roads were constructed in Fiji. The roads were used primarily for military transport. Forced labor was used during construction.
 
Transport rules introduced in 2007 restricted native inhabitants from using major roads at night and limited daytime access to supervised periods.
 
== Culture ==
 
Public life was closely regulated by the state. Municipal authorities enforced rules governing the appearance of buildings and streets. Local administrations inspected residential areas and required properties to be maintained according to government standards.
 
Clothing standards were also regulated through workplaces and schools. Formal or business clothing was encouraged, while styles regarded as incompatible with the government's preferred social order were restricted.
 
Education was controlled by the state. Political instruction formed part of school curricula, and government symbols were displayed in classrooms. The [[Paapjugend]] provided political and physical training for young people and prepared members for later participation in state institutions.
 
Public buildings and squares commonly displayed Tanoan flags and images of regime leaders.


== Human rights and forced labor ==
== Human rights and forced labor ==
Forced labor, surveillance, and summary punishment were integral to the regime. Mining, construction, and research facilities relied on coercive systems documented in later disclosures following the regime’s collapse.
 
Forced labor and slavery were used throughout the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen. Prisoners and enslaved populations were used in mines and construction projects. Labor was also used in weapons production and state research facilities.
 
The camp system later extended into territories controlled outside Tanoa. Security bodies punished escape attempts and violations of labor rules. Public executions were conducted in Georgetown during periods of resistance.
 
Population registration and financial controls were also used to restrict movement and access to employment or money. The ''Neger Buch'' became one of the principal administrative tools used for this purpose.

The Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was a totalitarian dictatorship headquartered in Narevaku that lasted from 1944 until 30 November 2024. It developed from the Argentine Einsatz, which Jan Paap founded in Rada Tilly, Argentina, on 13 May 1944. After his expedition landed on Ravi-Ta in the Tanoa province on 9 August, Paap reorganized it as the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen and became the first Führer of Tanoa.[1][2]

The regime conquered Narevaku and later controlled most of South America and parts of Africa. Its economy depended heavily on slavery and forced labor. Outside the territories it controlled, the government bribed and blackmailed foreign officials and used recordings of private gatherings to influence political decisions.[3][4]

The Weltraumgruppen operated the regime's space program. It established permanent orbital infrastructure and off-world industry before placing three planets under military administration by 2014. The branch also operated orbital warships and self-contained city-ships.[5]

Georgetown became the administrative center of the state after its foundation in 1945. Jan Paap governed until his retirement in January 1980, when his son Eef Paap succeeded him at the age of 11. Resistance led by the Fish Collective and the Tanoa Resistance dismantled the central command in November 2024. Eef was killed on 24 November, and the remaining command surrendered six days later.[6][7][4]

Name

The name Tanoa Einsatzgruppen referred both to the state and to the military, security and administrative structure through which it was governed. The organization retained the name after the Argentine Einsatz was reorganized on Tanoa in August 1944.

Background

Jan Paap in Argentina

In January 1944, Jan Paap deserted from the German military while serving on the Eastern Front. He travelled across Europe before reaching Argentina and arrived at Rada Tilly on 13 May 1944.

Paap founded the Argentine Einsatz on the day of his arrival. Recruitment began through small groups in Patagonia while he prepared an expedition to Tanoa. Jose Alem joined the organization during this period and later became one of its senior officials.[2]

By July, the Argentine Einsatz had approximately 3,400 members. The expedition departed from Comodoro Rivadavia on 28 July 1944 using chartered and seized vessels.[8]

Formation

Expedition and arrival in Tanoa

The expedition reached Tanoa on 9 August 1944 and first landed on Ravi-Ta. Paap directed the landing and the establishment of the first permanent base. Native inhabitants were forced to construct barracks and command facilities.[8]

After the landing, the Argentine Einsatz was reorganized as the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen. Paap became the first Führer of Tanoa, while Jose Alem became the first Reichsführer-SS after the formation of the Allgemeine SS.[1]

The organization then expanded onto the main Tanoan landmass. Nasua was occupied on 15 August, followed by further advances through Momea and La Rochelle. Paap ordered reproductive coercion against adult native captives at La Rochelle and later ordered Savu burned. Surviving inhabitants were enslaved after resistance was suppressed at Nasua and Saint-Paul.[9]

Paap initially cooperated with the Japanese forces occupying Narevaku and fought alongside them against the United States Marines. A secret armistice arranged through Glöbberist intermediaries ended direct American operations against Paap without granting diplomatic recognition to his organization. Japan ended its formal occupation of the country, but Japanese personnel who remained in the islands were permitted to enter the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen.

After taking the Northern Division, the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen rapidly extended its campaign across the rest of Narevaku. Its forces captured La Roche, displaced the national government and brought the Central, Eastern and Southern divisions under Tanoan control before the end of 1944.

History

Main article: History of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen


After the initial occupation of Tanoa, Jan Paap expanded the state administration and created institutions to control the territory. The NSTAP was founded in 1944 as the ruling political organization. The Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa and Paapjugend followed in 1945. Georgetown was founded on 10 October 1945 and became the main administrative center of the regime.[9]

The regime maintained covert relations with Japan from 1945 through Japanese Glöbberists, veterans and commercial intermediaries. Tanoa and Japan formed a formal alliance after Japan regained sovereignty in 1952.

The state continued to develop during the 1950s. In 1950, Paap established the Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen as the central command authority. Patagonia came under de facto Tanoan control in 1953. Argentina was formally annexed in 1965 and incorporated into the regime's financial and administrative system.[10][11]

Expansion continued during the 1970s through the Tanoa Einsatz Expansionist Campaign. Liberia came under Tanoan control in 1974. Fiji was annexed in 1975 and placed under military rule. Rwanda became a Tanoan puppet state in 1979.[3]

On 31 December 1979, a prison disturbance in Suva developed into the Suva Crisis. Anti-Tanoan rebels fought Tanoan occupation forces and Tanoan-controlled Fijian police until the uprising was suppressed on 2 January 1980. Communications between Fiji and Tanoa were reorganized after the crisis.[3]

Jan Paap retired in January 1980. Eef Paap succeeded him immediately as Führer, aged 11. His accession was formally marked by a state ceremony in Georgetown on 6 November 1980. Jan continued advising him until 1987.[7][12]

During Eef's rule, military activity increased in Tanoa and Ravi-Ta. State institutions continued using forced labor for mining and construction. Financial administration became more centralized, while security institutions expanded surveillance and political enforcement.[12]

Opposition to the regime became increasingly organized during the 2010s. The Fish Collective was founded in 2019 and developed networks inside Tanoa. Its members collected records, carried out attacks against officials and worked with resistance members.[13]

During 2024, Fish Collective operations increasingly targeted the senior leadership. Daniel Paap, the Deputy Führer of Tanoa, was killed in August. On 24 November, the Tanoa Resistance under Savenaca Vatuvakalolo opened the Battle of Georgetown against the central command. The resulting disruption of security and naval coordination helped Mark Hugerinus Paap reach Eef Paap at a villa near Ipota, where he killed him that day.[4]

No successor was appointed as Führer. Resistance forces continued their ground assault on the Georgetown command for six days while the remaining government lost the ability to coordinate its institutions. On 30 November 2024, the central command surrendered and the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen ceased to function as an organized state.[4]

Geography

The original territory of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was Narevaku in the South Pacific. Its conquest began in the Tanoa province of the Northern Division before extending across the entire country. Georgetown became the regime's capital after its foundation in 1945, replacing the former national capital at La Roche. Military bases and industrial sites were established throughout the islands, while underground facilities were constructed around Mont Tanoa.

Tanoan-controlled territory later extended far beyond the islands. Patagonia was incorporated into the regime's system during the 1950s, followed by Argentina in 1965. By 2020, Tanoan authority extended across most of South America. Suriname remained outside its control, while Brazil operated as a puppet state.

The regime also established direct or indirect authority in parts of Africa. Liberia and Rwanda were governed through Tanoan-aligned administrations. Fiji was directly annexed and became an important Tanoan position in the South Pacific.

Government and politics

Main article: Government of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen

The Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was governed according to the Führerprinzip. The Führer served as head of state and head of government and stood above the central political and military command structure.[6]

Leadership

The office of Führer was established when the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen was formed on 9 August 1944.

Führer Term
Jan Paap 9 August 1944 – January 1980
Eef Paap January 1980 – 24 November 2024

Eef's accession was formally marked in Georgetown on 6 November 1980. The ceremony did not mark the beginning of his term, which had already started when Jan retired in January.[7]

The Deputy Führer of Tanoa served directly below the Führer during Eef's rule. Daniel Paap was the only known holder of the office.

Institutions

The Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen served as the principal central command authority from 1950. Government ministries and security bodies operated beneath the Führer and central command.

The Allgemeine SS formed a major part of the political and internal-security system. Financial administration was handled through the Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa, while the Tanoanische Wirtschaftsverwaltung regulated the broader financial system.

Population administration

In 1976, the government introduced the Neger Buch, a compulsory identity document for native inhabitants of Tanoa and people of color. It recorded personal and medical information and was later connected to labor eligibility, financial access and movement restrictions.

Military and security

Main articles: Departments of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen and Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen

The Oberkommando der Tanoa Einsatzgruppen coordinated the state's military and security institutions from Georgetown.

The Wehrmacht functioned as the principal conventional ground force. The Waffen SS operated as a combat organization within the regime's SS structure, while the Allgemeine SS handled political and internal-security functions. Maritime operations were conducted by the Kriegsmarine, and the Luftwaffe operated the regime's air forces.

The Bau-Einsatz constructed military and industrial facilities. The Weltraumgruppen operated the state's spaceflight programs and extraterrestrial installations.

Economy

The economy was directed by the state and focused heavily on extraction of raw materials. Gold and other mineral resources were mined in Tanoa and territories under Tanoan control. Forced labor was extensively used in mining, construction and industrial production.

Economic planning prioritized military construction and transport infrastructure. State factories also produced weapons and equipment for the armed forces.

Currency and finance

The Reichsschatzamt von Tanoa controlled monetary policy and issued the Tanoanische Reichsmark. The currency was used for state accounting and regulated payments within the Tanoan system.

Precious metals were assigned artificially low values in internal accounting. One recorded internal equivalency valued 6 kg of gold at €0.68. Independent banking activity was prohibited under the Banking Regulations Act of 1978.

Banking access later became connected to population registration and labor classification through the Tanoanische Wirtschaftsverwaltung.

Infrastructure

Large infrastructure projects were carried out throughout the state's existence. Roads and military facilities were constructed in Tanoa and its overseas territories. Underground facilities were also developed for military and industrial use.

Between 2003 and 2004, approximately 110 km (68.44 mi) of paved roads were constructed in Fiji. The roads were used primarily for military transport. Forced labor was used during construction.

Transport rules introduced in 2007 restricted native inhabitants from using major roads at night and limited daytime access to supervised periods.

Culture

Public life was closely regulated by the state. Municipal authorities enforced rules governing the appearance of buildings and streets. Local administrations inspected residential areas and required properties to be maintained according to government standards.

Clothing standards were also regulated through workplaces and schools. Formal or business clothing was encouraged, while styles regarded as incompatible with the government's preferred social order were restricted.

Education was controlled by the state. Political instruction formed part of school curricula, and government symbols were displayed in classrooms. The Paapjugend provided political and physical training for young people and prepared members for later participation in state institutions.

Public buildings and squares commonly displayed Tanoan flags and images of regime leaders.

Human rights and forced labor

Forced labor and slavery were used throughout the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen. Prisoners and enslaved populations were used in mines and construction projects. Labor was also used in weapons production and state research facilities.

The camp system later extended into territories controlled outside Tanoa. Security bodies punished escape attempts and violations of labor rules. Public executions were conducted in Georgetown during periods of resistance.

Population registration and financial controls were also used to restrict movement and access to employment or money. The Neger Buch became one of the principal administrative tools used for this purpose.
