History
First recorded documentation of 10 Regions of Mobius is Michi Kara No Tegami (Letters From Unknown) by Yaponesian explorer who originally discovered islands in mid 11th century. Due to islands being located near what was believed to be edge of Natia they were named Islands On the Edge. It took 15 years for the first city, Alpha City, to be established. Mobius was point of interest because of rich natural resources, especially raspberries, grapes and honey.

In early 1330's, due to tax increases, more and more pirates started appearing and ships had hard time sailing thorough Mobian waters. In 1332 Yaponesians gave up on further colonization of Mobius and islands gained independence. Early era of autonomy was difficult because there was no well organized government and laws. Country was lead by council of 6 members, most notably Jonathan Skye who managed to stabilize Mobius and allow it to develop. Ever since 10 Regions of Mobius developed further and further into well-standing country.

Today Mobius is parliamentary constitutional republic with Amanda Tapping as 11th president.
