The United Island States of AHSCA is a small chain of islands lying in the south seas of anime.

==History==

===Origins===

It isn't known who settled or when these islands were settled. There are many theories as to the islands origins.

====Ancient Break Offs====

This theory states that the islands may have been around since the B.C. eras. From where it isn't known. There are those that present theories that the islands were a result of [[Wikipedia: Pangea|Pangea]]. Some theorize they were once part of the Kanami nation but broke away long before it's settlement. Others have suggested they could have been part of The North Hanover Islands Dependency Chain. Still it isn't known exactly which is the true.

====Underwater Seismic Activity====

The most common and likely theorym that the islands were formed by underwater volcanoes. However non of the AHSCA peaks are seismically active or have erupted (which would account for the often poor soil) which has some scientist baffled.

===Settlement===

Early settlement is still unknown other than the history of [[Animalpolis]] which is believed to be settled by fleeing anthromimi Hybrids most notably the [[Nekos]]. However it is likely the islands were settled from various shipwrecked sailors from the northern areas (Which would explain why not all have naturally tanned skin), but empirical evidence suggest migration from near by islands also helped contribute, which would explain the native race of [[Corona Island]].

Modern history has shown settlements have comed from migration of sailors and other fishermen who chose to use the islands as there, islands such as Hoshino were widley settled by exiled or stranded people.

However the islands have long lacked any formal government until very recently which makes some to belive they may have been settled within the last 5-10 years. Because of most of the primitive nature of the islands, record keeping has been poor to non-existent.

====Occupation Eras====

StillestÃndo was the most notable for the communist occupation that lasted for over a decade. Acting as a Soviet Satellites before they left at some point. During the occupation eras the satellites were primary there as military outposts and not civilian rule. The lives of people were generally uninterested with. Those that pledged loyalty to the ''Motherland'' were drafted and given arms and trained. Once the occupation ended much equipment was left behind as well as insurgents still loyal to the motherland hopping for a revival. The islands were also very separated from each other. Neither of them really interacted much until the end of occupation.

Hoshino was occupied as a commonwealth of [[Aurora Island]].

====Pre-Protection/Major War Eras====

Although the islands have lacked very formal government they have all had some formal structure. Aurora was likely some sort of monarchy or feudalistic system (A [[wikipedia: Grand Duchy|Grand Duchy]] to be more exact) the most notable being [[Shino Villa]], who was appointed Grand Duchess, following her parents death.

Hoshino Island was likely a military coalition, Stillestando (Truce) was a monarchy, Animalpolis was a semi-commonwealth colony. (However it is still likened to an [[wikipedia: Autocracy|Autocracy]]) It was at this time they began intertrading with each other. Still the islands kept mostly to themselves.

====Aurora====
(See also: [[Aurora Island]])

Aurora was doing fairly well for its self. Although it was a Grand Duchy it was very much becoming a direct democracy. The low population the the closeness of people made this pretty achiveable.

====Hoshino====
([[Hoshino Island]])

Hoshino was doing also fairly good. However it suffered from poor soil and frequent bad weather. Some insurgents left over still caused problems. Besides mild civil tension Hoshino did all right.

====Stillestando====
([[Stillestando Island]])

[[Stillestando]] (or Truce Island) still had many problems with civil unrest and bloody violence. Communist rebels still loyal tried multiple times to stage a coup against the king on several occasions. The efforts were unsuccessful and costly. Many civilians were killed in the crossfire and much of the beaches were being littered with artillery.

====Corona====
([[Corona Island]])
Corona was doing well. Virtually no civil tension existed and the society was that of a near utopia. Corona was rulled more like small villages with a master chief. It was at this time that [[Kino Turell]] was becoming chief.

====Animalpolis====
([[Animalpolis]])

Animalpolis remained undesturbed from the outside and was of course a heaven for those that were the strange minority. This was the point when the leader of Animalpolis agreed to talk to the international community about the nature of this strange and mysterious island. He let a news crew film details about the island but it seemed to do little good for the island, as the documentry was paid little mind and wrote it off.

===Protection Agreement===

As civil tension died out, it seemed more strangers were nearing the coast lines. This had many people in the region nervous. One night a small group of Communist rebels spotted a ship nearing the coast. They had thought their brothers had returned, and attempted another coup. Fortunately it was quickly squashed with no other injuries. On Aurora Shino was officially made Duchess and she began to take a strong role in Government. Shino was fearing the strangers but was unsure what to do with it. During a routine fishing trip Shino was caught in a major storm and washed up on Kanami shores. She was rescued and taken to a hospital and treated. It was soon found out she was infact a Duchess of an island to the south. Kanami took Shino's status seriously and immediately moved her into a secured hospital. When she came too, Shino was able to get a meeting with Prime Minister, [[Elenore Romney]] and asked talked to her regarding the islands. Shino asked Romeny if Kanami would be a Protector state to the islands.

Shino went to great lengths to convince her island neighbors to agree to this, and they did, some with much hesitancy. Kanami's agreement gave the island autonomy and didn't interfere with their personal business. So long as they upheld their end of the bargain by preventing oppressive regimes from invading the other islands, or becoming overly oppressive against basic values of democratic societies.

Eventually the islands began to make pacts to become independent states, Kanami also agreed to help them see through to their independence.

===War===

(Main Article: ''[[The War For Unification]]'' )

The protection didn't last long. After a bitter first war with Stevid AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would ocassionaly fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimately led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prision. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrorific experience.

It was a hellish cold dungeon feel. Where I wasn't sure. I was stripped naked and put into a cell to basically freeze. I was frightened for my life each time. I could tell the guards didn't like me but for reasons I wasn't sure. I was never sure if I was going to live or if I was going to be killed.

By the time she was actually taken to a prison in IH Shino maintans that she was treated better. However some have argued Shino is simply covering up her own truth to protect the islands. According to Shino however, she wasn't stripped or harassed but she still felt scared that she would be a POW for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile Stevid took Hoshino and Truce Island, while RedTide 2 took Corona. Stevid and RT2 began setting up their selected military operations and rooting out infidel militia. Many citizens were also forced to quarter soldiers.

On Truce several war crimes were being committed on a daily basis by the Stevid Knights Templar. Shinto priests were being hung for practicing their religion, and speaking out against the Knights.

As the Truce island militias found themselves beaten by the juggernaut of the Stevid armada, Corona came under the brutal occupation of the Union of Red Tide, hundreds were reported to be shot on the spot and a number of villages were 'liquidated'. Meanwhile Red Tide set it's sights on Animalpolis but found heavy resistance against the stealthy population and a confusing underground maze of caverns. It wasn't long before Aurora was in the sights of these nations, but it eventually went over to Independent Hitmen, a relative mercy.

A counter attack by local island militias was planned, but a large hurricane put the damper on any operations by any side. As the forces began to rebound and ready to return, a cease fire was declared, and AHSCA citizens were planning to form themselves as a union. [[The AHSCA Constitutional Convention]] was held shortly and AHSCA declared it's independence from any foreign forces including their former protectors.

Independant Hitman and Stevid initially reacted with mild hostility, but eventually agreed to withdraw. Red Tides reaction was much more aggressive: it first demanded that the Coronan representative turn himself in or it would massacre the island populace. When he gave into their demand, the Red Tideans attempted to formally annex Corona and began preparations to build a permanent military base and port. The Union of Red Tide finally backed down and withdrew after strenuous negotiations that involved the sale (although some say ransom) of Corona back to AHSCA, with the Republic of Kanami paying.

By the time the war was over over 100,000 people were killed. Women and children amongst them. AHSCA has still long demanded justice but has felt the world has turned it's back on them.

The former Lord Yasha, of Animalpolis has felt strongly of this and has spoken about it.

Everyone is either seeking money, or is friendly with the GDI. Were just 5 small islands and no one gives a rats ass about us.

In the aftermath of the war AHSCA began pulling its self back together, as bodies were cremated, forests replanted, and AHSCA beginning basic Government operations.

==Culture==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Beach.jpg

Island culture varies from island to island, other than the language and mild customs. However much of the island culture does fall along the same common lines and values.

===Clothing===

Because of the high temperatures year round nudity is very much tolerated if not encouraged. This can be especially evident in the southern villages of Animalpolis which temperatures can soar to 107° F (41° C) which entire villages will commonly go nude. This isn't as common as on the other islands as they are slightly farther north. Bikinis and other swim ware can be found in a wide variety of places and on all islands.

Aurora is known have more formal and complete clothing, whereas Corona has very basic and primitive clothing.

Other islands have shown no set style exists but Hoshino has shown to favor mostly modesty in it's dress and appearance.

Coronanas are widely known for still wearing loin cloths among other clothing.

===Dating and Courtship===

On Aurora and Corona a common custom when dating is to practice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courting Courtship]. Unlike traditional courtship however, a girl might ask a to Court a boy. It's quite common that girls might ask boys probably more so than in any other country that practices courtship in it's culture. On other islands many dates.

It's also custom to officially begin sexual relations with your courting partner. Dates and marriages have been broken off as a result of poor sexual performance, which is why it's so important to the islanders to get a sense of how the person is.

Having children is a custom that follows marriage, not having children brings about much stigma.

Homosexuality is permitted and commonly practiced amongst islanders. While it is an open custom, it brings some stigmatization can come from people who believe it's a sick and disgusting practice. Usually these people hold it as a personal belief and not as a religious belief. Corona Island has the highest lesbian population and is the foundation of the [[National Lesbian Party]].

===Hygiene===
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/IneededaBath.jpg

Cleanliness is considered a vital thing. Some will have small baths inside their huts others will wash in the rain, or go to a hotspring in the jungle forests. It's pretty rare for anyone to not take a bath at days end. Some may even bathe 3-4 times a day. Some have attributed this to the Shinto masses which believe in cleanliness. But it's also likely modern habits taught by recovery teams to keep diseases and sicknesses minimal. With the extreme poverty of the region but and the growing dependence on tourism to sustain the economy, hygiene is a daily requirement in AHSCA now.

Much of the water has natural fluoride which keeps their oral health excellent. The wells established in the post-war recovery also have been treated with fluoride.

===Religion===

A vast majority follow the indegenous faith of [[Madokamisim and Yuekamisim]]. A religion based on the cycles of time of day and night worshiping around the Sun or Moon.

==Education==

Education is considered optional in AHSCA as most parents virtually see no purpose for it. Consequently the literacy rate is pretty low, less than 1% of the population is literate. There is no government mandate of education, nor government sponsored education. People usually do it out of good will and charity.

==Government==

The Government of the islands is still rather fragile. Although it reflects a republic it still has practicing monarchy.

Each Island is granted it's personal sovereignty unless overruled by the Grand Leader. The Grand Leader is the presider of all the islands and can create a federal law by his/her self.

A new legislative body has been formed by the Grand Duchess Shino and has been active for well over a year. Individuals are allowed to gather into political parties and all islanders are allowed to vote for the party they see best fit to represent them. As of 2008 the current leading party is the [[National Lesbian Party]] the first democratically elected party into the AHSCA congress.

==International Relations==

Naturally as a result of the major war and the fact many alliances have turned them down, the islands are quite distrustful of other countries. International Relations are still fragile and AHSCA still seems to be wanting a low profile to prevent a second conquest by GDI. Shino knows pure isolation may not work, but she her self knows the results of being to well known. The islanders do not want a second protectorate pact after the failed first one.

Over the short time in it's statehood AHSCA has began to expand it's relationship sphere. Opening a major [[Embassy Isle|embassy complex]] on a nearby island allowing most nations to open an office. It also started relations with Mokastana after Shino wedded to [[George Villa]] from the country. Most of it's relations have included Shino and George being able to visit and the establishment of a military instilation on [[Aurora Island]].

Among other friends with military ties include the nation of Imperial, whom has a base on [[Stillestando Island]].

The elven communist island of [http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Carnelian_Island Carnelian Island] of which culturally and socially AHSCA has a strong common relationship with. Both are among the poorer nations of the world, both live extremely simplistically (the usual island bamboo and grass huts) and both are in alike climates. AHSCA and Carnelian have discussed several pacts to keep the ties strong with each other.

As for it's former protector state, AHSCA is actively wanting to mend relations with Kanami and participate with them. Certain people in the Congress oppose believing AHSCA will once again become a puppeted protected state.

In a controversial move AHSCA aligned it's self with The Ryou Black Islands from the Xanadou region. This met with much criticism from the international community and even cost AHSCA one of it's allies, the Shadow Empire of Imperial, which had previously established a military base, and also from whom [[Anja Kamma]] was dating a soldier. Mokastana agreed to remain AHSCA's ally so long as Mokastana is never forced to support the Ryou Black Islands in anything they do.

AHSCA's reasoning for joining in unison with the Ryou is really the Ryou culture and lifestyle. While Ryou is very developed the country is as diverse as AHSCA and also has one of the highest Anthromimi populations in the world. In the increasingly anti-furry crazed world, AHSCA felt a strong kinship with the Ryou.

AHSCA had formed a military pact but international pressure and threats of invasion and attack pressured AHSCA into breaking the pact and promising never to be apart of any Ryou aggression. AHSCA ultimately felt they were bullied and chorused into surrendering their right as a nation state to associate with whom they please. AHSCA has since decided to no longer pursue relations with TRBI.

Relations with the Union of Red Tide, however, remain near terrible, with the Red Tideans having made a number of attempts to coerce the AHSCA into making various moves on the international stage, the most successful being the previously mentioned breaking of relations with the Ryou Black Islands. Aside from these events, the limit of Red Tide's involvement with AHSCA post-war is an acknowledgment of its existence and nothing further.

==Climate==

AHSCA climate is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical Tropical Based]. It lies primarily on the equator thus receives adequate sunlight. However it also receives an abundance of thunderstorms year round, and double that during AHSCA's winter months are it's driest but it's summer months see the monsoon season. Corona receives most moisture and more storms than all the other islands, it's also the hottest island with a daily average of 100 with +60% humidity. It dips further south than most of it's neighbors which is why it receives the most heat.

Hoshino is slightly more temperate feeling but still retains the tropical climate of the islands.

Animalpolis is very mixed up and receives diffrent styles of weather in diffrent locations.

From the months of Late October-February the monsoon season begins. With it comes a frequency of storms and rough seas. These storms are often very long lasting, very strong, and dump endless amounts of rain on the islands. Lighting is also at it's peak. AHSCA doesn't see many hurricanes during this period but still can receive a few.

==Natural Hazards==

===Hurricanes===

The biggest natural hazard the islands face are hurricanes. Because many villagers still live in small huts they are at constant mercy of the weather. Hurricanes kill an average of 1,000-5,000 people a year, because of lack of adequate shelter and storm surge. AHSCA is guaranteed at least five hurricanes a year most of these are moderate but at least one of the five will be at a devastating.

AHSCA ranks Hurricanes by damage, not by windspeed like most others.

*'''Light''' ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir%E2%80%93Simpson_Hurricane_Scale SSHS] Equivalent: Category 1)
*'''Moderate''' ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir%E2%80%93Simpson_Hurricane_Scale SSHS]Equivalent: Category 2)
*'''Intense''' (([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir%E2%80%93Simpson_Hurricane_Scale SSHS] Equivalent: Category 3-4)
*'''Devastating''' ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir%E2%80%93Simpson_Hurricane_Scale SSHS] Equivalent: Category 5)

===Lightning===

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/islandstorm.jpg

Lightning also proves to be a major hazard. It's estimated more people die from lightning than hurricanes but this isn't certain. Because of the frequent time often spent in or near water even during thunder storms, there is a sever risk of people being struck or electrocuted.

===Tsunamis===

Tsunamis while rare have been considered significant hazards. The waters near and around AHSCA are volcanically active there is significant risk for tsunamis. The last known Tsunami killed over 500,000 people on Aurora.

==Economy==
AHSCA's economy is slowly forming. AHSCA doesn't recognize or subsidize for private enterprise as many islanders see no real need too because they are raising a family and gathering food.

While flea markets exist and are quite common. The economy primarily relies on it's natural fishing and trading with other nations.

Upon the writing of the constitution a universal [[Island Credit]] was adopted. The Currency is used actively and distributed evenly each year to all the islanders. The islanders may use this to buy food and other items with the currency as well as pay taxes.

The overall economic conditions rank AHSCA as a third-world nation. It's economy was recently re-ranked down to Imploded status as its GDP per capita status dropped $70.51. It's likely to drop further making AHSCA one of the poorest countries in the world. However few of the leaders feel concern. <blockquote>''We've always been poor, and we probably always will. Just how things work.</blockquote>'' Says Shino Villa.

While there are those that seek to develop AHSCA's economy, few have a desire to do it. Coronans are generally opposed to any modern development as are most of Animalpolis islanders. Others are indifferent.

==Food==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Fishing.jpg

The most common food for the islanders is obviously fish. Usually at diffrent points during the day, at high tide fish will be mass near the shores, more so than usual circumstances. This makes for quick and bountiful gatherings for the end of the day supper. Fish is also pretty surplussed when there is an approaching storm. In this event fish also come during both high and low tied.

Other foods include many types of citrus fruits, both sweet and sourer. Mangoes, bananas, peaches, and pineapple are regularly found on all the islands. They grow on the large palm trees scattered through the interior of the island and some grow on small plants. Berries are also quite common, but are best following the monsoon seasons.

Rice while not quite as a common as the fruit or fish also may make up an islander's diet. Many islanders will enjoy a bowl full of steamed or polished white rice. Some may fry and create brown rice.

Corona Island

AHSCA — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:14:06 GMT

AHSCA: /* Marriage and Courtship */

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Corona.jpg

'''Corona Island''' is the fourth state in the AHSCA chain, lying in at the most southern point. It is a mostly [[Tribal Grappler]] culture and is also the poorest and simplest living island in the Chain. Corona is also among the top 10 poor nations of the world. However despite the deep poverty, it is crime free. Corona is a chiefdom state.

Coronan's don't keep calender time or even track hours of the day. They track by sun and that is it. They consider them selves to be timeless from birth to death. They do not keep track of age either. It is the only island that does not track any time.

==History==

History information is highly scarce due to Corona's poor population and culture. Most anthropologist agree Corona was likely settled long before the other islands, however this is based purely in circumstantial evidence and some archeological basis.

===Naming===

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/SolarDiffractionCorona.jpg

Corona's name came about from sailors who noticed the frequent occurrences of [[wikipedia: Corona (meteorology)|Corona effects]] especially after storms. The name wasn't technically official and wasn't widely used by the native population or much of the world for years. It's speculated when Corona began interacting with it's neighbors it bean to use the denoted name. It was used for the first time offically by a major country when AHSCA went under the protection pact.

===Pre-War/Protection===

Much of the Pre-war and protection time Corona was isolated. Few sailors went there and few stayed behind. While the natives were friendly the hot climate and frequent thunderstorms made it hard for foreigners to reside there.

Corona's chiefdom has been apart of the island for quite some time, and strongly desired to maintain the Chiefdom even when it was unified in the republic. Around 2005 Chief [[Kino Turell]] was made the official Chief of the island, with [[Ayla Turell]] as his immediate heir apparent. Kino was the first to arm the islanders with modern weaponry.

===Unification War===

During the Unification War, Corona saw the bloodiest battles. Invaded by RedTide2 the natives proved to have little advantage even with the modern weaponry. Ayla and Kino stood and fought against the invasion until it proved they were no match and officially had their island surrender.

Much of the jungles were napalmed and RT soldiers took over most of the residence huts.

When the islands decided to hold the constitutional convention, both Ayla and Kino went at the blessing and discretion of their people. They had to leave and not return until it was over due to the extreme risk of being caught by the foreign occupiers.

During their absence the natives did their best to survive the brutal oppression until the hurricane finally set in.

===Post-War===

In the post-war recover began by replanting the jungles. Knowing the traditional seeding method would take years, much of the jungle foliage was flown in and replanted as full. 77% of the trees and other foliage was restored to near-pre-war levels. The rest was left for nature to take it's course. However a major hurricane hit the islands and much of the replanted was taken out again. So the process was done once again this time with hardier and stronger trees grown in very hurricane prone regions. This method proved effective especially when the monsoon set in.

==Climate and Geography==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/lightning567.jpg

The island lies on the equator and in the [[wikipedia: Tropic of Capricorn|Tropic of Capricorn]] is a north-south geography with a hot and humid fully tropical climate.

Due to it's size the island is the most vulnerable to hurricanes especially when they make landfall. Strong thunderstorms are also common on this island due to it's latitude and north-south geography. Annually Corona receives more thunderstorms than any other place in the world. It is also the record holder for annual rainfall of any given place and annual high temperatures.

==Life==

Day to day life of Coronans is fairly simple. Most will live their life by fishing or merchantiling. The family is cared for and children are usually left to play while the adults work. Older children and young teens though will often help their parents in child-care or fishing.

===Culture===

====Gender Roles====

Corona has a patriarch culture in which the Man is the central figure of the family. The man is usually charged with providing food for his wife and children while the woman is charged with caring for the family and the hut. The wife's tasks can include childbearing and raising, as well as keeping the hut clean and in good condition. Often the men will go out for days at a time to fish in open waters and the women will be charged even more with the hut-up keep. As such many of the Corona women are fine carpenters.

====Marriage and Courtship====

Marriage and love is considered the basic destiny of all people. Remaining single with no family is often frowned upon.

Corona's courtship is very strict. Traditionally the boy will request permission to court a young lady from the father. With out permission the boy can become subject to a punishment and the daughter can face expulsion and shunning by her family. If a courtship is proving insufficient both will return and break the relationship. Corona's are generally only allowed to court many at once when the partners all know it.

Traditionally it is also the male to ask the female for marriage first, he will present her with a treasure as a symbol of their love and the girl will accept.

The couple is expected to bear children, there is no limit on the family's children, and the average is about 4-5 children per family.

Homosexuality is generally frowned upon by Coronans. Despite this, Corona has the highest Lesbian population in the country.

====Dwellings====

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/pkg_beach_bungalow.jpg

Coronans reside heavily in beach-hut type of huts. The interiors aren't very big and usually have hammocks for children to share. The parent's will generally reside on the floor.

Some of these huts may be open ended huts for the poor citizens which are really hard to dwell in.

====Dress and Clothing====

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Ayla.jpg

The Coronas are the simple and light dressers with the hot weather. Men seldom to almost never ware any kind of shirt, and girls are very open too.

Girls generally ware a top cover and cloth to cover their bottoms, some may go free and not cover at all.

====Religion====

Most of the religious population is an unnamed ethnic belief. It is roughly known as the [[Celestial Faith]] by outsiders. Christianity ranks behind it with increased missionary visits to the islands. Mostly this falls under the [[wikipedia: Baptist|Baptist faith]].

==Ethnicity==

Coronans are primarily of the [[Nigren]] race with some Caucasian. The Caucasian coming from recent immigrants from other islands and in some cases other countries.

Race tensions are usually few and far between but it has happened in both violent and nonviolent ways. There have been instances of discrimination based on non-Nigren populous reported and few have been acted upon.

Some nekos and other anthromimis reside on Corona as well, it hovers just under .05%

National Lesbian Party

AHSCA — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:12:29 GMT

AHSCA: /* Ideology */

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/cute2.jpg

The AHSCA National Lesbian Party (abbreviated NLP) is the current leading party and one of the major parties in AHSCA. Founded by [[Kaena]] (right) and her partner [[Arorah]] (left) as a party to represent the interests of Islander Lesbians (which make up a significant demographic) after Kaena's family discovered that she was a Lesbian and promptly disowned her.

It's policies are based mostly in central to moderate-liberalism social equality and strong leadership by the Congress and democratic rule of law.

As of the 2008 Election it is the largest ruling political party in the AHSCA congress with 46 seats. It is also the first Party to be democratically elected by the AHSCA citizens as opposed to the parties being chosen by the Duchess.

==History==

===Founding===
The party was originally formed as Lesbian Fellowship for Girls who were discovering their sexuality and preference with the same sex and for girls who were disowned by their parents as a result of their choices. The Party was originally called '''The Coronan Fellowship for Lesbians'''. It wasn't until several months later that the group was encouraged by Coronanas to form an offical Party in the Congress.

===Entrance into Congress===

Keanea having the most education decided to take up the position with [[Adorinda]] another group member with extensive education and who had been in Congress before. They started out at the basic five seats. Kaena had her basic political training under Lady Schala as well as Adorinda.

The party had it's first major political action when the [[Bill of Rights]] was introduced. The Bill was heavily backed by the party even though most said to back off for fear of the party's endorsement would harm the bill's chances of being implemented. Kanea was in disagreement she felt regardless of who endorsed it the bill was perfect. Especially Article 4 which gave provisions to Free Courtship (dating). The bill passed by a landslide majority and the party's backing gave it a huge advantage in the Congress. During the first Seating Arrangement made by Shino Villa the Party was granted six seats allowing it to become the new Minority Party of the Congress.

===Rise to Majority===

During the 2008 Congressional Election the NLP sought to become the new Majority Party, and to do that they would have to reach out to everyone. The NLP wanted to assure Christian Islanders that they would not have to give up their moral standards and that they would not be forced to accept the practice of Homosexuality but they should respect it and the choices of the party members. They also had to show that this small no-name party was qualified to lead over the much more experience and solid [[National Islander Party]].

Adorina, Arorah, and Kaena all campaigned through the islands wining over voters while at the same time avoiding vicious mudslinging and frivolous attacks.

It wasn't long until Election Day came and everyone began voting, in a dead heat election the results showed the votes 48.28% for the National Lesbian Party. It was a surprising vote but not surprising as to how close it was. The party and it's heads graciously accepted and congratulated the NIP for a good campaign.

==Structure==

The current Party Head and is Kaena the The Vice-Speaker/Chairman is Adorina, and the Community Organizer is Arorah, all of whom helped form the party. Each of the women are charged in helping the party run smoothly, organizing volunteers, fundraising and maping out strategy. By AHSCA party policy the Party Chair/Head is given to be the delegate speaker of Congress while the Vice Speaker/Chairman is there to assist the delegate in her duties as Congressional Delegate. The Organizer helps people learn about the party and attract members.

==Ideology==

While party members may have diffrent views on political affairs, the Party advocates several underlined ideological bases. The party is considered centrist with a liberal leaning. The party isn't considered to be extremist left as one would find in most communist governments.

===Powers of the Government===

The party strongly believes in a unified and strong central government in which the common people can still participate in. They believe AHSCA is a republic and federation and should be remember as such, and do not support the ability of a court to change the law with out full representation of the people.

The Party believes Congress has the right to legislate to the will but the people have the right to overturn a legislation. As such they support a ballot-based initiative of an annual legislation vote by the people in which the people can vote if the support or reject certain laws enacted.

===Economic===

The party is classically liberal in it's economic policy however VC Adorinda is very much a socialist. As such the party is pretty divided between free and limited market as well as the distribution of wealth among the people.

The party is very much in favor of the current economy and primitive conditions on AHSCA. They believe the Pre-developed society has kept their culture rich in tradition, their families and communities tight nit and has prevented over cynicism from developing. They also belive the same as their Carnelian friends, living in such primeology is a better and more humble way to live. Some even see it as the way of God.

===Social===

The party believes in a free society for all to enjoy. Surprisingly a good majority do not favor flat out secularism or any thing that restricts the faith of the people. While the islands are widely agnostic to not-religious several faiths have formed in the post-war era including Christianity. The party respects the religious populous because the religious populous shows it respect in return. The party tries not to regulate the practice of faith and the works and movements by faith based organizations. The party supports a Common Ground based relation with the more Conservative Christians.

The Party Supports the current [[Educational Choice]] practiced in the islands especially by those on Corona. They also feel teachers from abroad would be better suited to teach than domesticated, but there is a split decision in this.

Most of the party opposes Abortion except in the cases of rape and incest and life threatening complications. However fewer than 1% of women have abortions in AHSCA.

As they are a Lesbian Party they support the rights of all LGBT people however their primary focus is on Lesbians which have a higher stake in AHSCA than gays bi and transsexual combined. (See also: [[Lesbian Culture of AHSCA]])

===Defense===

The party supports the idea of each island maintaining it's local militia and the Unified Militia Movement. They desire a good strong defense budget but feel it shouldn't be the priority of the Government.

The party also supports unilateralism in issues of national security, believing in the ability and right of the United States to act without external or international support in its own self-interest.

===Immigration===

The party is very open border and believes everyone should have the right to come and enjoy AHSCA as their new place of residence if they chose. Obviously as moving to AHSCA is never an easy task for those of modern upbringing, they see no reason to have a border patrol outside national defense. Anthromimi refugees are widely welcomed by the AHSCA government and the party feels it's time to extend this to more surrounding islanders, particularly the Ryous.

As such they also support the right of citizens to immigrate in and out of the country.

==Voter Base==

All data based off the election of 2008 has formulatd a probable voter base for future elections.

===Business===

The divided but mostly socialist leaning party has ranked low among business and enterprise around the world. Flea market tenders have been split almost 50-50 on the party.

Foreign business ranks very low with the desire to keep the primitive ideal of the islands and again the mostly left-leaning party.

===Lesbians/Gays===

Without doubt the party ranked extremely high among the Lesbian culture in AHSCA with the sweeping 90% of the lesbian vote.

Even though the party is Lesbian based the gay vote came in strongly with 75%

===Christian===

The Christian population ranked mostly in the low category for the party, with 25% of Christian voters voting for the NLP. The Good majority voted for their own in the [[National Christian Party]].

===Race===

The Party scored very high among the [[Nigren]] Population in Corona and all the other islands, more than 85% voted for the party.

General anime-Caucasian came in behind with 45% of the vote.

===Age===

The party scored very well among the young voters (age 13-20) but less well among the older voters. Young voters were in the high 50s but older in the lower 30s.

===Location===

The party of Corona naturally scored high among Coronans more than any island in the union. Every other island was very average in the moderate voting range.

The United Island States of AHSCA is a small chain of islands lying in the south seas of 10000 Islands. The island nation's sovereignty is recognized by most but is disputed by a few such as The Holy Empire of Stevid.

==History==

===Origins===

It isn't known who settled or when these islands were settled. There are many theories as to the islands origins.

====Ancient Break Offs====

This theory states that the islands may have been around since the B.C. eras. From where it isn't known. There are those that present theories that the islands were a result of [[Wikipedia: Pangea|Pangea]]. Some theorize they were once part of the Kanami nation but broke away long before it's settlement. Others have suggested they could have been part of The North Hanover Islands Dependency Chain. Still it isn't known exactly which is the true.

====Underwater Seismic Activity====

The most common and likely theorym that the islands were formed by underwater volcanoes. However non of the AHSCA peaks are seismically active or have erupted (which would account for the often poor soil) which has some scientist baffled.

===Settlement===

Early settlement is still unknown other than the history of [[Animalpolis]] which is believed to be settled by fleeing anthromimi Hybrids most notably the [[Nekos]]. However it is likely the islands were settled from various shipwrecked sailors from the northern areas (Which would explain why not all have naturally tanned skin), but empirical evidence suggest migration from near by islands also helped contribute, which would explain the native race of [[Corona Island]].

Modern history has shown settlements have comed from migration of sailors and other fishermen who chose to use the islands as there, islands such as Hoshino were widley settled by exiled or stranded people.

However the islands have long lacked any formal government until very recently which makes some to belive they may have been settled within the last 5-10 years. Because of most of the primitive nature of the islands, record keeping has been poor to non-existent.

====Occupation Eras====

StillestÃndo was the most notable for the communist occupation that lasted for over a decade. Acting as a Soviet Satellites before they left at some point. During the occupation eras the satellites were primary there as military outposts and not civilian rule. The lives of people were generally uninterested with. Those that pledged loyalty to the ''Motherland'' were drafted and given arms and trained. Once the occupation ended much equipment was left behind as well as insurgents still loyal to the motherland hopping for a revival. The islands were also very separated from each other. Neither of them really interacted much until the end of occupation.

Hoshino was occupied as a commonwealth of [[Aurora Island]].

====Pre-Protection/Major War Eras====

Although the islands have lacked very formal government they have all had some formal structure. Aurora was likely some sort of monarchy or feudalistic system (A [[wikipedia: Grand Duchy|Grand Duchy]] to be more exact) the most notable being [[Shino Nanano]], who was appointed Grand Duchess, following her parents death.

Hoshino Island was likely a military coalition, Stillestando (Truce) was a monarchy, Animalpolis was a semi-commonwealth colony. (However it is still likened to an [[wikipedia: Autocracy|Autocracy]]) It was at this time they began intertrading with each other. Still the islands kept mostly to themselves.

====Aurora====
(See also: [[Aurora Island]])

Aurora was doing fairly well for its self. Although it was a Grand Duchy it was very much becoming a direct democracy. The low population the the closeness of people made this pretty achiveable.

====Hoshino====
([[Hoshino Island]])

Hoshino was doing also fairly good. However it suffered from poor soil and frequent bad weather. Some insurgents left over still caused problems. Besides mild civil tension Hoshino did all right.

====Stillestando====
([[Stillestando Island]])

[[Stillestando]] (or Truce Island) still had many problems with civil unrest and bloody violence. Communist rebels still loyal tried multiple times to stage a coup against the king on several occasions. The efforts were unsuccessful and costly. Many civilians were killed in the crossfire and much of the beaches were being littered with artillery.

====Corona====
([[Corona Island]])
Corona was doing well. Virtually no civil tension existed and the society was that of a near utopia. Corona was rulled more like small villages with a master chief. It was at this time that [[Kino Turell]] was becoming chief.

====Animalpolis====
([[Animalpolis]])

Animalpolis remained undesturbed from the outside and was of course a heaven for those that were the strange minority. This was the point when the leader of Animalpolis agreed to talk to the international community about the nature of this strange and mysterious island. He let a news crew film details about the island but it seemed to do little good for the island, as the documentry was paid little mind and wrote it off.

===Protection Agreement===

As civil tension died out, it seemed more strangers were nearing the coast lines. This had many people in the region nervous. One night a small group of Communist rebels spotted a ship nearing the coast. They had thought their brothers had returned, and attempted another coup. Fortunately it was quickly squashed with no other injuries. On Aurora Shino was officially made Duchess and she began to take a strong role in Government. Shino was fearing the strangers but was unsure what to do with it. During a routine fishing trip Shino was caught in a major storm and washed up on Kanami shores. She was rescued and taken to a hospital and treated. It was soon found out she was infact a Duchess of an island to the south. Kanami took Shino's status seriously and immediately moved her into a secured hospital. When she came too, Shino was able to get a meeting with Prime Minister, [[Elenore Romney]] and asked talked to her regarding the islands. Shino asked Romeny if Kanami would be a Protector state to the islands.

Shino went to great lengths to convince her island neighbors to agree to this, and they did, some with much hesitancy. Kanami's agreement gave the island autonomy and didn't interfere with their personal business. So long as they upheld their end of the bargain by preventing oppressive regimes from invading the other islands, or becoming overly oppressive against basic values of democratic societies.

Eventually the islands began to make pacts to become independent states, Kanami also agreed to help them see through to their independence.

===War===

(Main Article: ''[[The War For Unification]]'' )

The protection didn't last long. After a bitter first war with Stevid
AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would occasionally fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimately led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prison. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrific experience.

<blockquote>''It was a hellish cold dungeon feel. Where I wasn't sure. I was stripped naked and put into a cell to basically freeze. I was frightened for my life each time. I could tell the guards didn't like me but for reasons I wasn't sure. I was never sure if I was going to live or if I was going to be killed.''</blockquote>

By the time she was actually taken to a prison in IH Shino maintans that she was treated better. However some have argued Shino is simply covering up her own truth to protect the islands. According to Shino however, she wasn't stripped or harassed but she still felt scared that she would be a POW for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile Stevid took Hoshino and Truce Island, while [[RedTide 2]] took Corona. Stevid and RT2 began setting up their selected military operations and rooting out infidel militia. Many citizens were also forced to quarter soldiers.

On Truce several war crimes were being committed on a daily basis by the Stevidan Knights Templar group. Shinto priests were being hung for practicing their religion, and speaking out against the Knights.

The island militias found themselves easily beaten by the juggernauts of the Stevid naval armada and had little choice but to surrender. Corona as under the brutal dictatorial state of RedTide2, hundreds were reported to be captured and shot on the spot. Meanwhile RT2 set it's sights on [[Animalpolis]] but found heavy resistance against the stealthy population and a confusing underground maze of caverns. It wasn't long before Aurora was in the sights of these nations, but it eventually went over to Independent Hitmen.

A counter attack by local island militias was mounted and fought but a large hurricane forced most of the heavy forces out. As the forces began to rebound and ready to return, the nations involved were coming back to the negotiating table, and AHSCA citizens were planning to form themselves as a union. [[The AHSCA Constitutional Convention]] was held shortly and AHSCA declared it's independence from any foreign forces including their former protectors.

By the time the war was over over 100,000 people were killed. Women and children amongst them. AHSCA has still long demanded justice but has felt the world has turned it's back on them.

The former [[Lord Yasha]], of Animalpolis has felt strongly of this and has spoken about it.

<blockquote>''Everyone is either seeking money, or is friendly with the GDI. Were just 5 small islands and no one gives a rats ass about us.''</blockquote>

In the aftermath of the war AHSCA began pulling its self back together, as bodies were cremated forests replanted and AHSCA beginning basic Government operations.

==Culture==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Beach.jpg

Island culture varies from island to island, other than the language and mild customs. However much of the island culture does fall along the same common lines and values.

===Clothing===

Because of the high temperatures year round nudity is very much tolerated if not encouraged. This can be especially evident in the southern villages of Animalpolis which temperatures can soar to 107° F (41° C) which entire villages will commonly go nude. This isn't as common as on the other islands as they are slightly farther north. Bikinis and other swim ware can be found in a wide variety of places and on all islands.

Aurora is known have more formal and complete clothing, whereas Corona has very basic and primitive clothing.

Other islands have shown no set style exists but Hoshino has shown to favor mostly modesty in it's dress and appearance.

Coronanas are widely known for still wearing loin cloths among other clothing.

===Dating and Courtship===

On Aurora and Corona a common custom when dating is to practice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courting Courtship]. Unlike traditional courtship however, a girl might ask a to Court a boy. It's quite common that girls might ask boys probably more so than in any other country that practices courtship in it's culture. On other islands many dates.

It's also custom to officially begin sexual relations with your courting partner. Dates and marriages have been broken off as a result of poor sexual performance, which is why it's so important to the islanders to get a sense of how the person is.

Having children is a custom that follows marriage, not having children brings about much stigma.

Homosexuality is permitted and commonly practiced amongst islanders. While it is an open custom, it brings some stigmatization can come from people who believe it's a sick and disgusting practice. Usually these people hold it as a personal belief and not as a religious belief.

===Hygiene===
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/IneededaBath.jpg

Cleanliness is considered a vital thing. Some will have small baths inside their huts others will wash in the rain, or go to a hotspring in the jungle forests. It's pretty rare for anyone to not take a bath at days end. Some may even bathe 3-4 times a day. Some have attributed this to the Shinto masses which believe in cleanliness. But it's also likely modern habits taught by recovery teams to keep diseases and sicknesses minimal.

Much of the water has natural fluoride which keeps their oral health excellent. The wells established in the post-war recovery also have been treated with fluoride.

===Religion===

Religion isn't common but not unheard of. However there are only a few traces of any Christian religion on the islands. The Christian Church of AHSCA is the nations central Christian faith organization. It gathers islanders together from all the islands to worship God and Jesus Christ.

Prior to the war, the [[wikipedia: Shinto|Shinto]] religion was a major belief on Hoshino and Stillestando However due to the widespread execution of the priests the religion fell and many have converted by force or faith to Christianity. Christian missionaries have also visited these islands widely spreading it actively.

Some villages in Animalpolis belive in two gods, Chronus (Which rougly translates to time) and Idola. Chronus is said to preserve life in the locks of endless time while Idola bring suffering and destruction. Some tribes try to summon Idola to bring about the end of the world. This is evident during hurricanes or other sever storms. Rather than take shelter they stand in the storm and chant incantations that will bring about Idola. There is no official name for this religion or belief some have called it
''Shuukyou of Kuchiku soshite Koi'' (Religion of Destruction and Love) On some of the other islands people either do not take the time to practice or simply just don't associate themselves with any religion.

==Education==

Education is considered optional in AHSCA as most parents virtually see no purpose for it. Consequently the literacy rate is pretty low, less than 1% of the population is literate. There is no government mandate of education, nor government sponsored education. People usually do it out of good will and charity.

==Government==

The Government of the islands is still rather fragile. Although it reflects a republic it still has practicing monarchy.

Each Island is granted it's personal sovereignty unless overruled by the Grand Leader. The Grand Leader is the presider of all the islands and can create a federal law by his/her self.

A new legislative body has been formed by the Grand Duchess Shino and has been active for well over a year. Individuals are allowed to gather into political parties and all islanders are allowed to vote for the party they see best fit to represent them. As of 2008 the current leading party is the [[National Lesbian Party]] the first democratically elected party into the AHSCA congress.

==International Relations==

Naturally as a result of the major war and the fact many alliances have turned them down, the islands are quite distrustful of other countries. International Relations are still fragile and AHSCA still seems to be wanting a low profile to prevent a second conquest by GDI. Shino knows pure isolation may not work, but she her self knows the results of being to well known. The islanders do not want a second protectorate pact after the failed first one.

Over the short time in it's statehood AHSCA has began to expand it's relationship sphere. Opening a major [[Embassy Isle|embassy complex]] on a nearby island allowing most nations to open an office. It also started relations with Mokastana after Shino wedded to [[George Villa]] from the country. Most of it's relations have included Shino and George being able to visit and the establishment of a military instilation on [[Aurora Island]].

Among other friends with military ties include the nation of Imperial, whom has a base on [[Stillestando Island]].

The elven communist island of [http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Carnelian_Island Carnelian Island] of which culturally and socially AHSCA has a strong common relationship with. Both are among the poorer nations of the world, both live extremely simplistically (the usual island bamboo and grass huts) and both are in alike climates. AHSCA and Carnelian have discussed several pacts to keep the ties strong with each other.

As for it's former protector state, AHSCA is actively wanting to mend relations with Kanami and participate with them. Certain people in the Congress oppose believing AHSCA will once again become a puppeted protected state.

In a controversial move AHSCA aligned it's self with The Ryou Black Islands from the Xanadou region. This met with much criticism from the international community and even cost AHSCA one of it's allies, the Shadow Empire of Imperial, which had previously established a military base, and also from whom [[Anja Kamma]] was dating a soldier. Mokastana agreed to remain AHSCA's ally so long as Mokastana is never forced to support the Ryou Black Islands in anything they do.

AHSCA's reasoning for joining in unison with the Ryou is really the Ryou culture and lifestyle. While Ryou is very developed the country is as diverse as AHSCA and also has one of the highest Anthromimi populations in the world. In the increasingly anti-furry crazed world, AHSCA felt a strong kinship with the Ryou.

AHSCA had formed a military pact but international pressure and threats of invasion and attack pressured AHSCA into breaking the pact and promising never to be apart of any Ryou aggression. AHSCA ultimately felt they were bullied and chorused into surrendering their right as a nation state to associate with whom they please. The future with The Ryou Black Islands is to be determined.

==Climate==

AHSCA climate is [[wikipedia: Tropical|Tropical based]]. It lies primarily on the equator thus receives adequate sunlight. However it also receives an abundance of thunderstorms year round, and double that during AHSCA's winter months are it's driest but it's summer months see the monsoon season. Corona receives most moisture and more storms than all the other islands, it's also the hottest island with a daily average of 100 with +60% humidity. It dips further south than most of it's neighbors which is why it receives the most heat.

Hoshino is slightly more temperate feeling but still retains the tropical climate of the islands.

Animalpolis is very mixed up and receives diffrent styles of weather in diffrent locations.

From the months of Late October-February the monsoon season begins. With it comes a frequency of storms and rough seas. These storms are often very long lasting, very strong, and dump endless amounts of rain on the islands. Lighting is also at it's peak. AHSCA doesn't see many hurricanes during this period but still can receive a few.

==Natural Hazards==

===Hurricanes===

The biggest natural hazard the islands face are hurricanes. Because many villagers still live in small huts they are at constant mercy of the weather. Hurricanes kill an average of 1,000-5,000 people a year, beacuse of lack of adequate shelter and storm surge.

===Lightning===

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/islandstorm.jpg

Lightning also proves to be a major hazard. It's estimated more people die from lightning than hurricanes but this isn't certain. Because of the frequent time often spent in or near water even during thunder storms, there is a sever risk of people being struck or electrocuted.

===Tsunamis===

Tsunamis while rare have been considered significant hazards. The waters near and around AHSCA are volcanically active there is significant risk for tsunamis. The last known Tsunami killed over 500,000 people on Aurora.

==Economy==
AHSCA's economy is slowly forming. AHSCA doesn't recognize or subsidize for private enterprise as many islanders see no real need too because they are raising a family and gathering food.

While flea markets exist and are quite common. The economy primarily relies on it's natural fishing and trading with other nations.

Upon the writing of the constitution a universal [[Island Credit]] was adopted. The Currency is used actively and distributed evenly each year to all the islanders. The islanders may use this to buy food and other items with the currency as well as pay taxes.

The overall economic conditions rank AHSCA as a third-world nation. It's economy was recently re-ranked down to Imploded status as its GDP per capita status dropped $72.52.

==Food==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Fishing.jpg

The most common food for the islanders is obviously fish. Usually at diffrent points during the day, at high tide fish will be mass near the shores, more so than usual circumstances. This makes for quick and bountiful gatherings for the end of the day supper. Fish is also pretty surplussed when there is an approaching storm. In this event fish also come during both high and low tied.

Other foods include many types of citrus fruits, both sweet and sourer. Mangoes, bananas, peaches, and pineapple are regularly found on all the islands. They grow on the large palm trees scattered through the interior of the island and some grow on small plants. Berries are also quite common, but are best following the monsoon seasons.

Rice while not quite as a common as the fruit or fish also may make up an islander's diet. Many islanders will enjoy a bowl full of steamed or polished white rice. Some may fry and create brown rice.

Aurora island is the capital of the whole [[AHSCA]] Chain. While not nearly as big as [[Animalpolis]] it was deemed the capital during the war, as a tribute to Shino Nano.
It could very well be the only olace that acts as both a capital and a state. It consists of one unified village community, known as Aurora Village.

==History==

===Early History===

Much of Aurora's early history remains in obscurity. No one knows when it was settled or how it got there. The common theory is it's been settled by many shipwrecked sailors, which is why most are Caucasian. However as most are [[Animesapiens]] of Japanese origin and naming, it's belived visitors could be from regions such as Kanami, Kurona and other areas in the Pacific.

Recorded history officially began in 1855 with help from several visitors. Around this time the Grand Duchy was formed by the First Duke Kouji Morimoto a Marxist sympathist who promised full social welfare. As a result he took all the wealth of any islanders and gave them away to boost the Aurora economy. As such the prosperity didn't last long as Morimoto was a heavy gambler who liked to hop off to casinos overseas and gamble with the countries wealth.

Around 1897 Morimoto was killed and began the new rule of the [[Nanao Family]], starting with Asao Nanao.

===Protection Era===

During the protection Era Aurora was mostly left to be self-sustaining due to it's well developed nature.

==Climate==

Aurora's temperatures in the summer time will often reach the low hundreds, with 11.2 inches of rain weekly. In winter time however the temperatures will stay in the mid 90's. However Winter is usually the time more thunderstorms occur with the monsoon season and hurricane season in the northern hemisphere. Aurora is very subjected to Hurricanes, especially when hurricanes are a [[Trail Island Hurricane]].

The average strength is believed to be a Category 3 or less, but every other year or so a strong one will strike the islands. Lighting is a common hazard during the monsoon season. Nights are usually pleasantly warm year round, in summer they dip to the low 80's, in winter the low 70's.

==Culture==
Aurora is considered by far the most modernized culture of the islands as well as the most developed.

===Language===
Aurora's language is the universal English Language combined with a few island dialects.

===Dress===
With the constant hot weather it's no surprise that many people chose to go nude. However many common clothes are shared with this and the other islands. Sun dresses are more common. Leotards such as the one Shino wears often are a popular trend more than the two part cloth or loins seen on other islands. Dresses, overalls, and many modern cloths are seen to. Public nudity is a widely embraced and accepted custom, few pay attention to it.

Some also favor the classical Kimono more so than the other

====Dating and Courtship====

Dating and courtship can begin at any age with parental consent usually for younger teens and adults. It usually begins with someone seeking a suitor and then choosing them as their proper courting mate. When this occurs they will begin living in the same hut together most likely and may begin with sexual relations.

When Marriage is announced, the female is given a physical test. On marriage night, she will emerge naked to begin her tests. First she will walk acorss a long line of hot coals, then she will lift several heavy stones and she must balance these stones perfectly. This is followed by the dumping of hot and cold water. When the test is completed she will be given a small bath of perfumed herbs with pleasantly mild water and will be allowed to embrace her new husband. The rest of the night is spent doing sexual intercourse.

These will occur in almost any weather conditions, and it is always the female who does this challenge. If she fails any challenge the ceremony won't be completed until she begins the tasks over again from the start.

Corona Island

AHSCA — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:42:42 GMT

AHSCA: /* Ethnicity */

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Corona.jpg

'''Corona Island''' is the fourth state in the AHSCA chain, lying in at the most southern point. It is a mostly [[Tribal Grappler]] culture and is also the poorest and simplest living island in the Chain. Corona is also among the top 10 poor nations of the world. However despite the deep poverty, it is crime free. Corona is a chiefdom state.

Coronan's don't keep calender time or even track hours of the day. They track by sun and that is it. They consider them selves to be timeless from birth to death. They do not keep track of age either. It is the only island that does not track any time.

==History==

History information is highly scarce due to Corona's poor population and culture. Most anthropologist agree Corona was likely settled long before the other islands, however this is based purely in circumstantial evidence and some archeological basis.

===Naming===

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/SolarDiffractionCorona.jpg

Corona's name came about from sailors who noticed the frequent occurrences of [[wikipedia: Corona (meteorology)|Corona effects]] especially after storms. The name wasn't technically official and wasn't widely used by the native population or much of the world for years. It's speculated when Corona began interacting with it's neighbors it bean to use the denoted name. It was used for the first time offically by a major country when AHSCA went under the protection pact.

===Pre-War/Protection===

Much of the Pre-war and protection time Corona was isolated. Few sailors went there and few stayed behind. While the natives were friendly the hot climate and frequent thunderstorms made it hard for foreigners to reside there.

Corona's chiefdom has been apart of the island for quite some time, and strongly desired to maintain the Chiefdom even when it was unified in the republic. Around 2005 Chief [[Kino Turell]] was made the official Chief of the island, with [[Ayla Turell]] as his immediate heir apparent. Kino was the first to arm the islanders with modern weaponry.

===Unification War===

During the Unification War, Corona saw the bloodiest battles. Invaded by RedTide2 the natives proved to have little advantage even with the modern weaponry. Ayla and Kino stood and fought against the invasion until it proved they were no match and officially had their island surrender.

Much of the jungles were napalmed and RT soldiers took over most of the residence huts.

When the islands decided to hold the constitutional convention, both Ayla and Kino went at the blessing and discretion of their people. They had to leave and not return until it was over due to the extreme risk of being caught by the foreign occupiers.

During their absence the natives did their best to survive the brutal oppression until the hurricane finally set in.

===Post-War===

In the post-war recover began by replanting the jungles. Knowing the traditional seeding method would take years, much of the jungle foliage was flown in and replanted as full. 77% of the trees and other foliage was restored to near-pre-war levels. The rest was left for nature to take it's course. However a major hurricane hit the islands and much of the replanted was taken out again. So the process was done once again this time with hardier and stronger trees grown in very hurricane prone regions. This method proved effective especially when the monsoon set in.

==Climate and Geography==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/lightning567.jpg

The island lies on the equator and in the [[wikipedia: Tropic of Capricorn|Tropic of Capricorn]] is a north-south geography with a hot and humid fully tropical climate.

Due to it's size the island is the most vulnerable to hurricanes especially when they make landfall. Strong thunderstorms are also common on this island due to it's latitude and north-south geography. Annually Corona receives more thunderstorms than any other place in the world. It is also the record holder for annual rainfall of any given place and annual high temperatures.

|}

==Life==

Day to day life of Coronans is fairly simple. Most will live their life by fishing or merchantiling. The family is cared for and children are usually left to play while the adults work. Older children and young teens though will often help their parents in child-care or fishing.

===Culture===

====Gender Roles====

Corona has a patriarch culture in which the Man is the central figure of the family. The man is usually charged with providing food for his wife and children while the woman is charged with caring for the family and the hut. The wife's tasks can include childbearing and raising, as well as keeping the hut clean and in good condition. Often the men will go out for days at a time to fish in open waters and the women will be charged even more with the hut-up keep. As such many of the Corona women are fine carpenters.

====Marriage and Courtship====

Marriage and love is considered the basic destiny of all people. Remaining single with no family is often frowned upon.

Corona's courtship is very strict. Traditionally the boy will request permission to court a young lady from the father. With out permission the boy can become subject to a punishment and the daughter can face expulsion and shunning by her family. If a courtship is proving insufficient both will return and break the relationship. Corona's are generally only allowed to court many at once when the partners all know it.

Traditionally it is also the male to ask the female for marriage first, he will present her with a treasure as a symbol of their love and the girl will accept.

The couple is expected to bear children, there is no limit on the family's children, and the average is about 4-5 children per family.

====Dwellings====

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/pkg_beach_bungalow.jpg

Coronans reside heavily in beach-hut type of huts. The interiors aren't very big and usually have hammocks for children to share. The parent's will generally reside on the floor.

Some of these huts may be open ended huts for the poor citizens which are really hard to dwell in.

====Dress and Clothing====

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/swimsuitecopy.jpg

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Ayla.jpg

The Coronas are the simple and light dressers with the hot weather. Men seldom to almost never ware any kind of shirt, and girls are very open too.

Girls generally ware a top cover and cloth to cover their bottoms, some may go free and not cover at all.

====Religion====

Most of the religious population is an unnamed ethnic belief. It is roughly known as the [[Celestial Faith]] by outsiders. Christianity ranks behind it with increased missionary visits to the islands. Mostly this falls under the [[wikipedia: Baptist|Baptist faith]].

==Ethnicity==

Coronans are primarily of the [[Nigren]] race with some Caucasian. The Caucasian coming from recent immigrants from other islands and in some cases other countries.

Race tensions are usually few and far between but it has happened in both violent and nonviolent ways. There have been instances of discrimination based on non-Nigren populous reported and few have been acted upon.

Some nekos and other anthromimis reside on Corona as well, it hovers just under .05%

The United Island States of AHSCA is a small chain of islands lying in the south seas of 10000 Islands. The island nation's sovereignty is recognized by most but is disputed by a few such as The Holy Empire of Stevid.

==History==

===Origins===

It isn't known who settled or when these islands were settled. There are many theories as to the islands origins.

====Ancient Break Offs====

This theory states that the islands may have been around since the B.C. eras. From where it isn't known. There are those that present theories that the islands were a result of [[Wikipedia: Pangea|Pangea]]. Some theorize they were once part of the Kanami nation but broke away long before it's settlement. Others have suggested they could have been part of The North Hanover Islands Dependency Chain. Still it isn't known exactly which is the true.

====Underwater Seismic Activity====

The most common and likely theorym that the islands were formed by underwater volcanoes. However non of the AHSCA peaks are seismically active or have erupted (which would account for the often poor soil) which has some scientist baffled.

===Settlement===

Early settlement is still unknown other than the history of [[Animalpolis]] which is believed to be settled by fleeing anthromimi Hybrids most notably the [[Nekos]]. However it is likely the islands were settled from various shipwrecked sailors from the northern areas (Which would explain why not all have naturally tanned skin), but empirical evidence suggest migration from near by islands also helped contribute, which would explain the native race of [[Corona Island]].

Modern history has shown settlements have comed from migration of sailors and other fishermen who chose to use the islands as there, islands such as Hoshino were widley settled by exiled or stranded people.

However the islands have long lacked any formal government until very recently which makes some to belive they may have been settled within the last 5-10 years. Because of most of the primitive nature of the islands, record keeping has been poor to non-existent.

====Occupation Eras====

StillestÃndo was the most notable for the communist occupation that lasted for over a decade. Acting as a Soviet Satellites before they left at some point. During the occupation eras the satellites were primary there as military outposts and not civilian rule. The lives of people were generally uninterested with. Those that pledged loyalty to the ''Motherland'' were drafted and given arms and trained. Once the occupation ended much equipment was left behind as well as insurgents still loyal to the motherland hopping for a revival. The islands were also very separated from each other. Neither of them really interacted much until the end of occupation.

Hoshino was occupied as a commonwealth of [[Aurora Island]].

====Pre-Protection/Major War Eras====

Although the islands have lacked very formal government they have all had some formal structure. Aurora was likely some sort of monarchy or feudalistic system (A [[wikipedia: Grand Duchy|Grand Duchy]] to be more exact) the most notable being [[Shino Nanano]], who was appointed Grand Duchess, following her parents death.

Hoshino Island was likely a military coalition, Stillestando (Truce) was a monarchy, Animalpolis was a semi-commonwealth colony. (However it is still likened to an [[wikipedia: Autocracy|Autocracy]]) It was at this time they began intertrading with each other. Still the islands kept mostly to themselves.

====Aurora====
(See also: [[Aurora Island]])

Aurora was doing fairly well for its self. Although it was a Grand Duchy it was very much becoming a direct democracy. The low population the the closeness of people made this pretty achiveable.

====Hoshino====
([[Hoshino Island]])

Hoshino was doing also fairly good. However it suffered from poor soil and frequent bad weather. Some insurgents left over still caused problems. Besides mild civil tension Hoshino did all right.

====Stillestando====
([[Stillestando Island]])

[[Stillestando]] (or Truce Island) still had many problems with civil unrest and bloody violence. Communist rebels still loyal tried multiple times to stage a coup against the king on several occasions. The efforts were unsuccessful and costly. Many civilians were killed in the crossfire and much of the beaches were being littered with artillery.

====Corona====
([[Corona Island]])
Corona was doing well. Virtually no civil tension existed and the society was that of a near utopia. Corona was rulled more like small villages with a master chief. It was at this time that [[Kino Turell]] was becoming chief.

====Animalpolis====
([[Animalpolis]])

Animalpolis remained undesturbed from the outside and was of course a heaven for those that were the strange minority. This was the point when the leader of Animalpolis agreed to talk to the international community about the nature of this strange and mysterious island. He let a news crew film details about the island but it seemed to do little good for the island, as the documentry was paid little mind and wrote it off.

===Protection Agreement===

As civil tension died out, it seemed more strangers were nearing the coast lines. This had many people in the region nervous. One night a small group of Communist rebels spotted a ship nearing the coast. They had thought their brothers had returned, and attempted another coup. Fortunately it was quickly squashed with no other injuries. On Aurora Shino was officially made Duchess and she began to take a strong role in Government. Shino was fearing the strangers but was unsure what to do with it. During a routine fishing trip Shino was caught in a major storm and washed up on Kanami shores. She was rescued and taken to a hospital and treated. It was soon found out she was infact a Duchess of an island to the south. Kanami took Shino's status seriously and immediately moved her into a secured hospital. When she came too, Shino was able to get a meeting with Prime Minister, [[Elenore Romney]] and asked talked to her regarding the islands. Shino asked Romeny if Kanami would be a Protector state to the islands.

Shino went to great lengths to convince her island neighbors to agree to this, and they did, some with much hesitancy. Kanami's agreement gave the island autonomy and didn't interfere with their personal business. So long as they upheld their end of the bargain by preventing oppressive regimes from invading the other islands, or becoming overly oppressive against basic values of democratic societies.

Eventually the islands began to make pacts to become independent states, Kanami also agreed to help them see through to their independence.

===War===

(Main Article: ''[[The War For Unification]]'' )

The protection didn't last long. After a bitter first war with Stevid
AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would occasionally fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimately led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prison. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrific experience.

<blockquote>''It was a hellish cold dungeon feel. Where I wasn't sure. I was stripped naked and put into a cell to basically freeze. I was frightened for my life each time. I could tell the guards didn't like me but for reasons I wasn't sure. I was never sure if I was going to live or if I was going to be killed.''</blockquote>

By the time she was actually taken to a prison in IH Shino maintans that she was treated better. However some have argued Shino is simply covering up her own truth to protect the islands. According to Shino however, she wasn't stripped or harassed but she still felt scared that she would be a POW for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile Stevid took Hoshino and Truce Island, while [[RedTide 2]] took Corona. Stevid and RT2 began setting up their selected military operations and rooting out infidel militia. Many citizens were also forced to quarter soldiers.

On Truce several war crimes were being committed on a daily basis by the Stevidan Knights Templar group. Shinto priests were being hung for practicing their religion, and speaking out against the Knights.

The island militias found themselves easily beaten by the juggernauts of the Stevid naval armada and had little choice but to surrender. Corona as under the brutal dictatorial state of RedTide2, hundreds were reported to be captured and shot on the spot. Meanwhile RT2 set it's sights on [[Animalpolis]] but found heavy resistance against the stealthy population and a confusing underground maze of caverns. It wasn't long before Aurora was in the sights of these nations, but it eventually went over to Independent Hitmen.

A counter attack by local island militias was mounted and fought but a large hurricane forced most of the heavy forces out. As the forces began to rebound and ready to return, the nations involved were coming back to the negotiating table, and AHSCA citizens were planning to form themselves as a union. [[The AHSCA Constitutional Convention]] was held shortly and AHSCA declared it's independence from any foreign forces including their former protectors.

By the time the war was over over 100,000 people were killed. Women and children amongst them. AHSCA has still long demanded justice but has felt the world has turned it's back on them.

The former [[Lord Yasha]], of Animalpolis has felt strongly of this and has spoken about it.

<blockquote>''Everyone is either seeking money, or is friendly with the GDI. Were just 5 small islands and no one gives a rats ass about us.''</blockquote>

In the aftermath of the war AHSCA began pulling its self back together, as bodies were cremated forests replanted and AHSCA beginning basic Government operations.

==Culture==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Beach.jpg

Island culture varies from island to island, other than the language and mild customs. However much of the island culture does fall along the same common lines and values.

===Clothing===

Because of the high temperatures year round nudity is very much tolerated if not encouraged. This can be especially evident in the southern villages of Animalpolis which temperatures can soar to 107° F (41° C) which entire villages will commonly go nude. This isn't as common as on the other islands as they are slightly farther north. Bikinis and other swim ware can be found in a wide variety of places and on all islands.

Aurora is known have more formal and complete clothing, whereas Corona has very basic and primitive clothing.

Other islands have shown no set style exists but Hoshino has shown to favor mostly modesty in it's dress and appearance.

Coronanas are widely known for still wearing loin cloths among other clothing.

===Dating and Courtship===

On Aurora and Corona a common custom when dating is to practice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courting Courtship]. Unlike traditional courtship however, a girl might ask a to Court a boy. It's quite common that girls might ask boys probably more so than in any other country that practices courtship in it's culture. On other islands many dates.

It's also custom to officially begin sexual relations with your courting partner. Dates and marriages have been broken off as a result of poor sexual performance, which is why it's so important to the islanders to get a sense of how the person is.

Having children is a custom that follows marriage, not having children brings about much stigma.

Homosexuality is permitted and commonly practiced amongst islanders. While it is an open custom, it brings some stigmatization can come from people who believe it's a sick and disgusting practice. Usually these people hold it as a personal belief and not as a religious belief.

===Hygiene===
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/IneededaBath.jpg

Cleanliness is considered a vital thing. Some will have small baths inside their huts others will wash in the rain, or go to a hotspring in the jungle forests. It's pretty rare for anyone to not take a bath at days end. Some may even bathe 3-4 times a day. Some have attributed this to the Shinto masses which believe in cleanliness. But it's also likely modern habits taught by recovery teams to keep diseases and sicknesses minimal.

Much of the water has natural fluoride which keeps their oral health excellent. The wells established in the post-war recovery also have been treated with fluoride.

===Religion===

Religion isn't common but not unheard of. However there are only a few traces of any Christian religion on the islands. The Christian Church of AHSCA is the nations central Christian faith organization. It gathers islanders together from all the islands to worship God and Jesus Christ.

Prior to the war, the [[wikipedia: Shinto|Shinto]] religion was a major belief on Hoshino and Stillestando However due to the widespread execution of the priests the religion fell and many have converted by force or faith to Christianity. Christian missionaries have also visited these islands widely spreading it actively.

Some villages in Animalpolis belive in two gods, Chronus (Which rougly translates to time) and Idola. Chronus is said to preserve life in the locks of endless time while Idola bring suffering and destruction. Some tribes try to summon Idola to bring about the end of the world. This is evident during hurricanes or other sever storms. Rather than take shelter they stand in the storm and chant incantations that will bring about Idola. There is no official name for this religion or belief some have called it
''Shuukyou of Kuchiku soshite Koi'' (Religion of Destruction and Love) On some of the other islands people either do not take the time to practice or simply just don't associate themselves with any religion.

==Education==

Education is considered optional in AHSCA as most parents virtually see no purpose for it. Consequently the literacy rate is pretty low, less than 1% of the population is literate. There is no government mandate of education, nor government sponsored education. People usually do it out of good will and charity.

==Government==

The Government of the islands is still rather fragile. Although it reflects a republic it still has practicing monarchy.

Each Island is granted it's personal sovereignty unless overruled by the Grand Leader. The Grand Leader is the presider of all the islands and can create a federal law by his/her self.

A new legislative body has been formed by the Grand Duchess Shino and has been active for well over a year. Individuals are allowed to gather into political parties and all islanders are allowed to vote for the party they see best fit to represent them. As of 2008 the current leading party is the [[National Lesbian Party]] the first democratically elected party into the AHSCA congress.

==International Relations==

Naturally as a result of the major war and the fact many alliances have turned them down, the islands are quite distrustful of other countries. International Relations are still fragile and AHSCA still seems to be wanting a low profile to prevent a second conquest by GDI. Shino knows pure isolation may not work, but she her self knows the results of being to well known. The islanders do not want a second protectorate pact after the failed first one.

Over the short time in it's statehood AHSCA has began to expand it's relationship sphere. Opening a major [[Embassy Isle|embassy complex]] on a nearby island allowing most nations to open an office. It also started relations with Mokastana after Shino wedded to [[George Villa]] from the country. Most of it's relations have included Shino and George being able to visit and the establishment of a military instilation on [[Aurora Island]].

Among other friends with military ties include the nation of Imperial, whom has a base on [[Stillestando Island]].

The elven communist island of [http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Carnelian_Island Carnelian Island] of which culturally and socially AHSCA has a strong common relationship with. Both are among the poorer nations of the world, both live extremely simplistically (the usual island bamboo and grass huts) and both are in alike climates. AHSCA and Carnelian have discussed several pacts to keep the ties strong with each other.

As for it's former protector state, AHSCA is actively wanting to mend relations with Kanami and participate with them. Certain people in the Congress oppose believing AHSCA will once again become a puppeted protected state.

In a controversial move AHSCA aligned it's self with The Ryou Black Islands from the Xanadou region. This met with much criticism from the international community and even cost AHSCA one of it's allies, the Shadow Empire of Imperial, which had previously established a military base, and also from whom [[Anja Kamma]] was dating a soldier. Mokastana agreed to remain AHSCA's ally so long as Mokastana is never forced to support the Ryou Black Islands in anything they do.

AHSCA's reasoning for joining in unison with the Ryou is really the Ryou culture and lifestyle. While Ryou is very developed the country is as diverse as AHSCA and also has one of the highest Anthromimi populations in the world. In the increasingly anti-furry crazed world, AHSCA felt a strong kinship with the Ryou.

AHSCA had formed a military pact but international pressure and threats of invasion and attack pressured AHSCA into breaking the pact and promising never to be apart of any Ryou aggression. AHSCA ultimately felt they were bullied and chorused into surrendering their right as a nation state to associate with whom they please. The future with The Ryou Black Islands is to be determined.

==Climate==

AHSCA climate is [[wikipedia: Tropical|Tropical based]]. It lies primarily on the equator thus receives adequate sunlight. However it also receives an abundance of thunderstorms year round, and double that during AHSCA's winter months are it's driest but it's summer months see the monsoon season. Corona receives most moisture and more storms than all the other islands, it's also the hottest island with a daily average of 100 with +60% humidity. It dips further south than most of it's neighbors which is why it receives the most heat.

Hoshino is slightly more temperate feeling but still retains the tropical climate of the islands.

Animalpolis is very mixed up and receives diffrent styles of weather in diffrent locations.

From the months of Late October-February the monsoon season begins. With it comes a frequency of storms and rough seas. These storms are often very long lasting, very strong, and dump endless amounts of rain on the islands. Lighting is also at it's peak. AHSCA doesn't see many hurricanes during this period but still can receive a few.

==Natural Hazards==

===Hurricanes===

The biggest natural hazard the islands face are hurricanes. Because many villagers still live in small huts they are at constant mercy of the weather. Hurricanes kill an average of 1,000-5,000 people a year, beacuse of lack of adequate shelter and storm surge.

===Lightning===

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/islandstorm.jpg

Lightning also proves to be a major hazard. It's estimated more people die from lightning than hurricanes but this isn't certain. Because of the frequent time often spent in or near water even during thunder storms, there is a sever risk of people being struck or electrocuted.

===Tsunamis===

Tsunamis while rare have been considered significant hazards. The waters near and around AHSCA are volcanically active there is significant risk for tsunamis. The last known Tsunami killed over 500,000 people on Aurora.

==Economy==
AHSCA's economy is slowly forming. AHSCA doesn't recognize or subsidize for private enterprise as many islanders see no real need too because they are raising a family and gathering food.

While flea markets exist and are quite common. The economy primarily relies on it's natural fishing and trading with other nations.

Upon the writing of the constitution a universal [[Island Credit]] was adopted. The Currency is used actively and distributed evenly each year to all the islanders. The islanders may use this to buy food and other items with the currency as well as pay taxes.

==Food==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Fishing.jpg

The most common food for the islanders is obviously fish. Usually at diffrent points during the day, at high tide fish will be mass near the shores, more so than usual circumstances. This makes for quick and bountiful gatherings for the end of the day supper. Fish is also pretty surplussed when there is an approaching storm. In this event fish also come during both high and low tied.

Other foods include many types of citrus fruits, both sweet and sourer. Mangoes, bananas, peaches, and pineapple are regularly found on all the islands. They grow on the large palm trees scattered through the interior of the island and some grow on small plants. Berries are also quite common, but are best following the monsoon seasons.

Rice while not quite as a common as the fruit or fish also may make up an islander's diet. Many islanders will enjoy a bowl full of steamed or polished white rice. Some may fry and create brown rice.

Corona Island

AHSCA — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 02:15:13 GMT

AHSCA: /* Culture */

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Corona.jpg

'''Corona Island''' is the fourth state in the AHSCA chain, lying in at the most southern point. It is a mostly [[Tribal Grappler]] culture and is also the poorest and simplest living island in the Chain. Corona is also among the top 10 poor nations of the world. However despite the deep poverty, it is crime free. Corona is a chiefdom state.

==History==

History information is highly scarce due to Corona's poor population and culture. Most anthropologist agree Corona was likely settled long before the other islands, however this is based purely in circumstantial evidence and some archeological basis.

===Naming===

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/SolarDiffractionCorona.jpg

Corona's name came about from sailors who noticed the frequent occurrences of [[wikipedia: Corona (meteorology)|Corona effects]] especially after storms. The name wasn't technically official and wasn't widely used by the native population or much of the world for years. It's speculated when Corona began interacting with it's neighbors it bean to use the denoted name. It was used for the first time offically by a major country when AHSCA went under the protection pact.

===Pre-War/Protection===

Much of the Pre-war and protection time Corona was isolated. Few sailors went there and few stayed behind. While the natives were friendly the hot climate and frequent thunderstorms made it hard for foreigners to reside there.

Corona's chiefdom has been apart of the island for quite some time, and strongly desired to maintain the Chiefdom even when it was unified in the republic. Around 2005 Chief [[Kino Turell]] was made the official Chief of the island, with [[Ayla Turell]] as his immediate heir apparent. Kino was the first to arm the islanders with modern weaponry.

===Unification War===

During the Unification War, Corona saw the bloodiest battles. Invaded by RedTide2 the natives proved to have little advantage even with the modern weaponry. Ayla and Kino stood and fought against the invasion until it proved they were no match and officially had their island surrender.

Much of the jungles were napalmed and RT soldiers took over most of the residence huts.

When the islands decided to hold the constitutional convention, both Ayla and Kino went at the blessing and discretion of their people. They had to leave and not return until it was over due to the extreme risk of being caught by the foreign occupiers.

During their absence the natives did their best to survive the brutal oppression until the hurricane finally set in.

===Post-War===

In the post-war recover began by replanting the jungles. Knowing the traditional seeding method would take years, much of the jungle foliage was flown in and replanted as full. 77% of the trees and other foliage was restored to near-pre-war levels. The rest was left for nature to take it's course. However a major hurricane hit the islands and much of the replanted was taken out again. So the process was done once again this time with hardier and stronger trees grown in very hurricane prone regions. This method proved effective especially when the monsoon set in.

==Climate and Geography==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/lightning567.jpg

The island lies on the equator and in the [[wikipedia: Tropic of Capricorn|Tropic of Capricorn]] is a north-south geography with a hot and humid fully tropical climate.

Due to it's size the island is the most vulnerable to hurricanes especially when they make landfall. Strong thunderstorms are also common on this island due to it's latitude and north-south geography. Annually Corona receives more thunderstorms than any other place in the world. It is also the record holder for annual rainfall of any given place and annual high temperatures.

==Life==

Day to day life of Coronans is fairly simple. Most will live their life by fishing or merchantiling. The family is cared for and children are usually left to play while the adults work. Older children and young teens though will often help their parents in child-care or fishing.

===Culture===

====Gender Roles====

Corona has a patriarch culture in which the Man is the central figure of the family. The man is usually charged with providing food for his wife and children while the woman is charged with caring for the family and the hut. The wife's tasks can include childbearing and raising, as well as keeping the hut clean and in good condition. Often the men will go out for days at a time to fish in open waters and the women will be charged even more with the hut-up keep. As such many of the Corona women are fine carpenters.

====Marriage and Courtship====

Marriage and love is considered the basic destiny of all people. Remaining single with no family is often frowned upon.

Corona's courtship is very strict. Traditionally the boy will request permission to court a young lady from the father. With out permission the boy can become subject to a punishment and the daughter can face expulsion and shunning by her family. If a courtship is proving insufficient both will return and break the relationship. Corona's are generally only allowed to court many at once when the partners all know it.

Traditionally it is also the male to ask the female for marriage first, he will present her with a treasure as a symbol of their love and the girl will accept.

The couple is expected to bear children, there is no limit on the family's children, and the average is about 4-5 children per family.

====Dwellings====

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/pkg_beach_bungalow.jpg

Coronans reside heavily in beach-hut type of huts. The interiors aren't very big and usually have hammocks for children to share. The parent's will generally reside on the floor.

Some of these huts may be open ended huts for the poor citizens which are really hard to dwell in.

====Dress and Clothing====

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/swimsuitecopy.jpg

The Coronas are the simple and light dressers with the hot weather. Men seldom to almost never ware any kind of shirt, and girls are very open too.

Girls generally ware a top cover and cloth to cover their bottoms, some may go free and not cover at all.

====Religion====

Most of the religious population is an unnamed ethnic belief. It is roughly known as the [[Celestial Faith]] by outsiders. Christianity ranks behind it with increased missionary visits to the islands. Mostly this falls under the [[wikipedia: Baptist|Baptist faith]].

==Ethnicity==

Coronans are primarily of the [[Nigren]] race with some Caucasian. The Caucasian coming from recent immigrants from other islands and in some cases other countries.

Race tensions are usually few and far between but it has happened in both violent and nonviolent ways.

Tribal Grappler

AHSCA — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 02:05:48 GMT

AHSCA:

'''Tribal Grappler''' is a Government refrence to AHSCA citizens who live in very tribal like clusters of small villages, and those who dwell in small huts but may have large famlies. They are also classified as having an important role as parents and community members by supporting their neighbors and citizens. TG's are also considered to be the most traditional of all islanders as many either do not use the official currency or do not work in the trading line in the Royal Government. Much of [[Corona Island]] falls under this category.

AHSCA: /* Climate and Geography */

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Corona.jpg

'''Corona Island''' is the fourth state in the AHSCA chain, lying in at the most southern point. It is a mostly [[Tribal Grappler]] culture and is also the poorest and simplest living island in the Chain. Corona is also among the top 10 poor nations of the world. However despite the deep poverty, it is crime free. Corona is a chiefdom state.

==History==

History information is highly scarce due to Corona's poor population and culture. Most anthropologist agree Corona was likely settled long before the other islands, however this is based purely in circumstantial evidence and some archeological basis.

===Naming===

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/SolarDiffractionCorona.jpg

Corona's name came about from sailors who noticed the frequent occurrences of [[wikipedia: Corona (meteorology)|Corona effects]] especially after storms. The name wasn't technically official and wasn't widely used by the native population or much of the world for years. It's speculated when Corona began interacting with it's neighbors it bean to use the denoted name. It was used for the first time offically by a major country when AHSCA went under the protection pact.

===Pre-War/Protection===

Much of the Pre-war and protection time Corona was isolated. Few sailors went there and few stayed behind. While the natives were friendly the hot climate and frequent thunderstorms made it hard for foreigners to reside there.

Corona's chiefdom has been apart of the island for quite some time, and strongly desired to maintain the Chiefdom even when it was unified in the republic. Around 2005 Chief [[Kino Turell]] was made the official Chief of the island, with [[Ayla Turell]] as his immediate heir apparent. Kino was the first to arm the islanders with modern weaponry.

===Unification War===

During the Unification War, Corona saw the bloodiest battles. Invaded by RedTide2 the natives proved to have little advantage even with the modern weaponry. Ayla and Kino stood and fought against the invasion until it proved they were no match and officially had their island surrender.

Much of the jungles were napalmed and RT soldiers took over most of the residence huts.

When the islands decided to hold the constitutional convention, both Ayla and Kino went at the blessing and discretion of their people. They had to leave and not return until it was over due to the extreme risk of being caught by the foreign occupiers.

During their absence the natives did their best to survive the brutal oppression until the hurricane finally set in.

===Post-War===

In the post-war recover began by replanting the jungles. Knowing the traditional seeding method would take years, much of the jungle foliage was flown in and replanted as full. 77% of the trees and other foliage was restored to near-pre-war levels. The rest was left for nature to take it's course. However a major hurricane hit the islands and much of the replanted was taken out again. So the process was done once again this time with hardier and stronger trees grown in very hurricane prone regions. This method proved effective especially when the monsoon set in.

==Climate and Geography==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/lightning567.jpg

The island lies on the equator and in the [[wikipedia: Tropic of Capricorn|Tropic of Capricorn]] is a north-south geography with a hot and humid fully tropical climate.

Due to it's size the island is the most vulnerable to hurricanes especially when they make landfall. Strong thunderstorms are also common on this island due to it's latitude and north-south geography. Annually Corona receives more thunderstorms than any other place in the world. It is also the record holder for annual rainfall of any given place and annual high temperatures.

==Life==

Day to day life of Coronans is fairly simple. Most will live their life by fishing or merchantiling. The family is cared for and children are usually left to play while the adults work. Older children and young teens though will often help their parents in child-care or fishing.

===Culture===

====Gender Roles====

Corona has a patriarch culture in which the Man is the central figure of the family. The man is usually charged with providing food for his wife and children while the woman is charged with caring for the family and the hut. The wife's tasks can include childbearing and raising, as well as keeping the hut clean and in good condition. Often the men will go out for days at a time to fish in open waters and the women will be charged even more with the hut-up keep. As such many of the Corona women are fine carpenters.

====Marriage and Courtship====

Marriage and love is considered the basic destiny of all people. Remaining single with no family is often frowned upon.

Corona's courtship is very strict. Traditionally the boy will request permission to court a young lady from the father. With out permission the boy can become subject to a punishment and the daughter can face expulsion and shunning by her family. If a courtship is proving insufficient both will return and break the relationship. Corona's are generally only allowed to court many at once when the partners all know it.

Traditionally it is also the male to ask the female for marriage first, he will present her with a treasure as a symbol of their love and the girl will accept.

The couple is expected to bear children, there is no limit on the family's children, and the average is about 4-5 children per family.

====Dwellings====

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/pkg_beach_bungalow.jpg

Coronans reside heavily in beach-hut type of huts. The interiors aren't very big and usually have hammocks for children to share. The parent's will generally reside on the floor.

Some of these huts may be open ended huts for the poor citizens which are really hard to dwell in.

====Dress and Clothing====

The United Island States of AHSCA is a small chain of islands lying in the south seas of 10000 Islands. The island nation's sovereignty is recognized by most but is disputed by a few such as The Holy Empire of Stevid.

==History==

===Origins===

It isn't known who settled or when these islands were settled. There are many theories as to the islands origins.

====Ancient Break Offs====

This theory states that the islands may have been around since the B.C. eras. From where it isn't known. There are those that present theories that the islands were a result of [[Wikipedia: Pangea|Pangea]]. Some theorize they were once part of the Kanami nation but broke away long before it's settlement. Others have suggested they could have been part of The North Hanover Islands Dependency Chain. Still it isn't known exactly which is the true.

====Underwater Seismic Activity====

The most common and likely theorym that the islands were formed by underwater volcanoes. However non of the AHSCA peaks are seismically active or have erupted (which would account for the often poor soil) which has some scientist baffled.

===Settlement===

Early settlement is still unknown other than the history of [[Animalpolis]] which is believed to be settled by fleeing anthromimi Hybrids most notably the [[Nekos]]. However it is likely the islands were settled from various shipwrecked sailors from the northern areas (Which would explain why not all have naturally tanned skin), but empirical evidence suggest migration from near by islands also helped contribute, which would explain the native race of [[Corona Island]].

Modern history has shown settlements have comed from migration of sailors and other fishermen who chose to use the islands as there, islands such as Hoshino were widley settled by exiled or stranded people.

However the islands have long lacked any formal government until very recently which makes some to belive they may have been settled within the last 5-10 years. Because of most of the primitive nature of the islands, record keeping has been poor to non-existent.

====Occupation Eras====

StillestÃndo was the most notable for the communist occupation that lasted for over a decade. Acting as a Soviet Satellites before they left at some point. During the occupation eras the satellites were primary there as military outposts and not civilian rule. The lives of people were generally uninterested with. Those that pledged loyalty to the ''Motherland'' were drafted and given arms and trained. Once the occupation ended much equipment was left behind as well as insurgents still loyal to the motherland hopping for a revival. The islands were also very separated from each other. Neither of them really interacted much until the end of occupation.

Hoshino was occupied as a commonwealth of [[Aurora Island]].

====Pre-Protection/Major War Eras====

Although the islands have lacked very formal government they have all had some formal structure. Aurora was likely some sort of monarchy or feudalistic system (A [[wikipedia: Grand Duchy|Grand Duchy]] to be more exact) the most notable being [[Shino Nanano]], who was appointed Grand Duchess, following her parents death.

Hoshino Island was likely a military coalition, Stillestando (Truce) was a monarchy, Animalpolis was a semi-commonwealth colony. (However it is still likened to an [[wikipedia: Autocracy|Autocracy]]) It was at this time they began intertrading with each other. Still the islands kept mostly to themselves.

====Aurora====
(See also: [[Aurora Island]])

Aurora was doing fairly well for its self. Although it was a Grand Duchy it was very much becoming a direct democracy. The low population the the closeness of people made this pretty achiveable.

====Hoshino====
([[Hoshino Island]])

Hoshino was doing also fairly good. However it suffered from poor soil and frequent bad weather. Some insurgents left over still caused problems. Besides mild civil tension Hoshino did all right.

====Stillestando====
([[Stillestando Island]])

[[Stillestando]] (or Truce Island) still had many problems with civil unrest and bloody violence. Communist rebels still loyal tried multiple times to stage a coup against the king on several occasions. The efforts were unsuccessful and costly. Many civilians were killed in the crossfire and much of the beaches were being littered with artillery.

====Corona====
([[Corona Island]])
Corona was doing well. Virtually no civil tension existed and the society was that of a near utopia. Corona was rulled more like small villages with a master chief. It was at this time that [[Kino Turell]] was becoming chief.

====Animalpolis====
([[Animalpolis]])

Animalpolis remained undesturbed from the outside and was of course a heaven for those that were the strange minority. This was the point when the leader of Animalpolis agreed to talk to the international community about the nature of this strange and mysterious island. He let a news crew film details about the island but it seemed to do little good for the island, as the documentry was paid little mind and wrote it off.

===Protection Agreement===

As civil tension died out, it seemed more strangers were nearing the coast lines. This had many people in the region nervous. One night a small group of Communist rebels spotted a ship nearing the coast. They had thought their brothers had returned, and attempted another coup. Fortunately it was quickly squashed with no other injuries. On Aurora Shino was officially made Duchess and she began to take a strong role in Government. Shino was fearing the strangers but was unsure what to do with it. During a routine fishing trip Shino was caught in a major storm and washed up on Kanami shores. She was rescued and taken to a hospital and treated. It was soon found out she was infact a Duchess of an island to the south. Kanami took Shino's status seriously and immediately moved her into a secured hospital. When she came too, Shino was able to get a meeting with Prime Minister, [[Elenore Romney]] and asked talked to her regarding the islands. Shino asked Romeny if Kanami would be a Protector state to the islands.

Shino went to great lengths to convince her island neighbors to agree to this, and they did, some with much hesitancy. Kanami's agreement gave the island autonomy and didn't interfere with their personal business. So long as they upheld their end of the bargain by preventing oppressive regimes from invading the other islands, or becoming overly oppressive against basic values of democratic societies.

Eventually the islands began to make pacts to become independent states, Kanami also agreed to help them see through to their independence.

===War===

(Main Article: ''[[The War For Unification]]'' )

The protection didn't last long. After a bitter first war with Stevid
AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would occasionally fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimately led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prison. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrific experience.

<blockquote>''It was a hellish cold dungeon feel. Where I wasn't sure. I was stripped naked and put into a cell to basically freeze. I was frightened for my life each time. I could tell the guards didn't like me but for reasons I wasn't sure. I was never sure if I was going to live or if I was going to be killed.''</blockquote>

By the time she was actually taken to a prison in IH Shino maintans that she was treated better. However some have argued Shino is simply covering up her own truth to protect the islands. According to Shino however, she wasn't stripped or harassed but she still felt scared that she would be a POW for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile Stevid took Hoshino and Truce Island, while [[RedTide 2]] took Corona. Stevid and RT2 began setting up their selected military operations and rooting out infidel militia. Many citizens were also forced to quarter soldiers.

On Truce several war crimes were being committed on a daily basis by the Stevidan Knights Templar group. Shinto priests were being hung for practicing their religion, and speaking out against the Knights.

The island militias found themselves easily beaten by the juggernauts of the Stevid naval armada and had little choice but to surrender. Corona as under the brutal dictatorial state of RedTide2, hundreds were reported to be captured and shot on the spot. Meanwhile RT2 set it's sights on [[Animalpolis]] but found heavy resistance against the stealthy population and a confusing underground maze of caverns. It wasn't long before Aurora was in the sights of these nations, but it eventually went over to Independent Hitmen.

A counter attack by local island militias was mounted and fought but a large hurricane forced most of the heavy forces out. As the forces began to rebound and ready to return, the nations involved were coming back to the negotiating table, and AHSCA citizens were planning to form themselves as a union. [[The AHSCA Constitutional Convention]] was held shortly and AHSCA declared it's independence from any foreign forces including their former protectors.

By the time the war was over over 100,000 people were killed. Women and children amongst them. AHSCA has still long demanded justice but has felt the world has turned it's back on them.

The former [[Lord Yasha]], of Animalpolis has felt strongly of this and has spoken about it.

<blockquote>''Everyone is either seeking money, or is friendly with the GDI. Were just 5 small islands and no one gives a rats ass about us.''</blockquote>

In the aftermath of the war AHSCA began pulling its self back together, as bodies were cremated forests replanted and AHSCA beginning basic Government operations.

==Culture==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Beach.jpg

Island culture varies from island to island, other than the language and mild customs. However much of the island culture does fall along the same common lines and values.

===Clothing===

Because of the high temperatures year round nudity is very much tolerated if not encouraged. This can be especially evident in the southern villages of Animalpolis which temperatures can soar to 107° F (41° C) which entire villages will commonly go nude. This isn't as common as on the other islands as they are slightly farther north. Bikinis and other swim ware can be found in a wide variety of places and on all islands.

Aurora is known have more formal and complete clothing, whereas Corona has very basic and primitive clothing.

Other islands have shown no set style exists but Hoshino has shown to favor mostly modesty in it's dress and appearance.

Coronanas are widely known for still wearing loin cloths among other clothing.

===Dating and Courtship===

On Aurora and Corona a common custom when dating is to practice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courting Courtship]. Unlike traditional courtship however, a girl might ask a to Court a boy. It's quite common that girls might ask boys probably more so than in any other country that practices courtship in it's culture. On other islands many dates.

Coronan's don't keep calender time or even track hours of the day. They track by sun and that is it. They consider them selves to be timeless from birth to death. They do not keep track of age either.

It's also custom to officially begin sexual relations with your courting partner. Dates and marriages have been broken off as a result of poor sexual performance, which is why it's so important to the islanders to get a sense of how the person is.

Having children is a custom that follows marriage, not having children brings about much stigma.

Homosexuality is permitted and commonly practiced amongst islanders. While it is an open custom, it brings some stigmatization can come from people who believe it's a sick and disgusting practice. Usually these people hold it as a personal belief and not as a religious belief.

===Hygiene===
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/IneededaBath.jpg

Cleanliness is considered a vital thing. Some will have small baths inside their huts others will wash in the rain, or go to a hotspring in the jungle forests. It's pretty rare for anyone to not take a bath at days end. Some may even bathe 3-4 times a day. Some have attributed this to the Shinto masses which believe in cleanliness. But it's also likely modern habits taught by recovery teams to keep diseases and sicknesses minimal.

Much of the water has natural fluoride which keeps their oral health excellent. The wells established in the post-war recovery also have been treated with fluoride.

===Religion===

Religion isn't common but not unheard of. However there are only a few traces of any Christian religion on the islands. The Christian Church of AHSCA is the nations central Christian faith organization. It gathers islanders together from all the islands to worship God and Jesus Christ.

Prior to the war, the [[wikipedia: Shinto|Shinto]] religion was a major belief on Hoshino and Stillestando However due to the widespread execution of the priests the religion fell and many have converted by force or faith to Christianity. Christian missionaries have also visited these islands widely spreading it actively.

Some villages in Animalpolis belive in two gods, Chronus (Which rougly translates to time) and Idola. Chronus is said to preserve life in the locks of endless time while Idola bring suffering and destruction. Some tribes try to summon Idola to bring about the end of the world. This is evident during hurricanes or other sever storms. Rather than take shelter they stand in the storm and chant incantations that will bring about Idola. There is no official name for this religion or belief some have called it
''Shuukyou of Kuchiku soshite Koi'' (Religion of Destruction and Love) On some of the other islands people either do not take the time to practice or simply just don't associate themselves with any religion.

==Education==

Education is considered optional in AHSCA as most parents virtually see no purpose for it. Consequently the literacy rate is pretty low, less than 1% of the population is literate. There is no government mandate of education, nor government sponsored education. People usually do it out of good will and charity.

==Government==

The Government of the islands is still rather fragile. Although it reflects a republic it still has practicing monarchy.

Each Island is granted it's personal sovereignty unless overruled by the Grand Leader. The Grand Leader is the presider of all the islands and can create a federal law by his/her self.

A new legislative body has been formed by the Grand Duchess Shino and has been active for well over a year. Individuals are allowed to gather into political parties and all islanders are allowed to vote for the party they see best fit to represent them. As of 2008 the current leading party is the [[National Lesbian Party]] the first democratically elected party into the AHSCA congress.

==International Relations==

Naturally as a result of the major war and the fact many alliances have turned them down, the islands are quite distrustful of other countries. International Relations are still fragile and AHSCA still seems to be wanting a low profile to prevent a second conquest by GDI. Shino knows pure isolation may not work, but she her self knows the results of being to well known. The islanders do not want a second protectorate pact after the failed first one.

Over the short time in it's statehood AHSCA has began to expand it's relationship sphere. Opening a major [[Embassy Isle|embassy complex]] on a nearby island allowing most nations to open an office. It also started relations with Mokastana after Shino wedded to [[George Villa]] from the country. Most of it's relations have included Shino and George being able to visit and the establishment of a military instilation on [[Aurora Island]].

Among other friends with military ties include the nation of Imperial, whom has a base on [[Stillestando Island]].

The elven communist island of [http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Carnelian_Island Carnelian Island] of which culturally and socially AHSCA has a strong common relationship with. Both are among the poorer nations of the world, both live extremely simplistically (the usual island bamboo and grass huts) and both are in alike climates. AHSCA and Carnelian have discussed several pacts to keep the ties strong with each other.

As for it's former protector state, AHSCA is actively wanting to mend relations with Kanami and participate with them. Certain people in the Congress oppose believing AHSCA will once again become a puppeted protected state.

In a controversial move AHSCA aligned it's self with The Ryou Black Islands from the Xanadou region. This met with much criticism from the international community and even cost AHSCA one of it's allies, the Shadow Empire of Imperial, which had previously established a military base, and also from whom [[Anja Kamma]] was dating a soldier. Mokastana agreed to remain AHSCA's ally so long as Mokastana is never forced to support the Ryou Black Islands in anything they do.

AHSCA's reasoning for joining in unison with the Ryou is really the Ryou culture and lifestyle. While Ryou is very developed the country is as diverse as AHSCA and also has one of the highest Anthromimi populations in the world. In the increasingly anti-furry crazed world, AHSCA felt a strong kinship with the Ryou.

AHSCA had formed a military pact but international pressure and threats of invasion and attack pressured AHSCA into breaking the pact and promising never to be apart of any Ryou aggression. AHSCA ultimately felt they were bullied and chorused into surrendering their right as a nation state to associate with whom they please. The future with The Ryou Black Islands is to be determined.

==Climate==

AHSCA climate is [[wikipedia: Tropical|Tropical based]]. It lies primarily on the equator thus receives adequate sunlight. However it also receives an abundance of thunderstorms year round, and double that during AHSCA's winter months are it's driest but it's summer months see the monsoon season. Corona receives most moisture and more storms than all the other islands, it's also the hottest island with a daily average of 100 with +60% humidity. It dips further south than most of it's neighbors which is why it receives the most heat.

Hoshino is slightly more temperate feeling but still retains the tropical climate of the islands.

Animalpolis is very mixed up and receives diffrent styles of weather in diffrent locations.

From the months of Late October-February the monsoon season begins. With it comes a frequency of storms and rough seas. These storms are often very long lasting, very strong, and dump endless amounts of rain on the islands. Lighting is also at it's peak. AHSCA doesn't see many hurricanes during this period but still can receive a few.

==Natural Hazards==

===Hurricanes===

The biggest natural hazard the islands face are hurricanes. Because many villagers still live in small huts they are at constant mercy of the weather. Hurricanes kill an average of 1,000-5,000 people a year, beacuse of lack of adequate shelter and storm surge.

===Lightning===

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/islandstorm.jpg

Lightning also proves to be a major hazard. It's estimated more people die from lightning than hurricanes but this isn't certain. Because of the frequent time often spent in or near water even during thunder storms, there is a sever risk of people being struck or electrocuted.

===Tsunamis===

Tsunamis while rare have been considered significant hazards. The waters near and around AHSCA are volcanically active there is significant risk for tsunamis. The last known Tsunami killed over 500,000 people on Aurora.

==Economy==
AHSCA's economy is slowly forming. AHSCA doesn't recognize or subsidize for private enterprise as many islanders see no real need too because they are raising a family and gathering food.

While flea markets exist and are quite common. The economy primarily relies on it's natural fishing and trading with other nations.

Upon the writing of the constitution a universal [[Island Credit]] was adopted. The Currency is used actively and distributed evenly each year to all the islanders. The islanders may use this to buy food and other items with the currency as well as pay taxes.

==Food==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Fishing.jpg

The most common food for the islanders is obviously fish. Usually at diffrent points during the day, at high tide fish will be mass near the shores, more so than usual circumstances. This makes for quick and bountiful gatherings for the end of the day supper. Fish is also pretty surplussed when there is an approaching storm. In this event fish also come during both high and low tied.

Other foods include many types of citrus fruits, both sweet and sourer. Mangoes, bananas, peaches, and pineapple are regularly found on all the islands. They grow on the large palm trees scattered through the interior of the island and some grow on small plants. Berries are also quite common, but are best following the monsoon seasons.

Rice while not quite as a common as the fruit or fish also may make up an islander's diet. Many islanders will enjoy a bowl full of steamed or polished white rice. Some may fry and create brown rice.

The United Island States of AHSCA is a small chain of islands lying in the south seas of 10000 Islands. The island nation's sovereignty is recognized by most but is disputed by a few such as The Holy Empire of Stevid.

==History==

===Origins===

It isn't known who settled or when these islands were settled. There are many theories as to the islands origins.

====Ancient Break Offs====

This theory states that the islands may have been around since the B.C. eras. From where it isn't known. There are those that present theories that the islands were a result of [[Wikipedia: Pangea|Pangea]]. Some theorize they were once part of the Kanami nation but broke away long before it's settlement. Others have suggested they could have been part of The North Hanover Islands Dependency Chain. Still it isn't known exactly which is the true.

====Underwater Seismic Activity====

The most common and likely theorym that the islands were formed by underwater volcanoes. However non of the AHSCA peaks are seismically active or have erupted (which would account for the often poor soil) which has some scientist baffled.

===Settlement===

Early settlement is still unknown other than the history of [[Animalpolis]] which is believed to be settled by fleeing anthromimi Hybrids most notably the [[Nekos]]. However it is likely the islands were settled from various shipwrecked sailors from the northern areas (Which would explain why not all have naturally tanned skin), but empirical evidence suggest migration from near by islands also helped contribute, which would explain the native race of [[Corona Island]].

Modern history has shown settlements have comed from migration of sailors and other fishermen who chose to use the islands as there, islands such as Hoshino were widley settled by exiled or stranded people.

However the islands have long lacked any formal government until very recently which makes some to belive they may have been settled within the last 5-10 years. Because of most of the primitive nature of the islands, record keeping has been poor to non-existent.

====Occupation Eras====

StillestÃndo was the most notable for the communist occupation that lasted for over a decade. Acting as a Soviet Satellites before they left at some point. During the occupation eras the satellites were primary there as military outposts and not civilian rule. The lives of people were generally uninterested with. Those that pledged loyalty to the ''Motherland'' were drafted and given arms and trained. Once the occupation ended much equipment was left behind as well as insurgents still loyal to the motherland hopping for a revival. The islands were also very separated from each other. Neither of them really interacted much until the end of occupation.

Hoshino was occupied as a commonwealth of [[Aurora Island]].

====Pre-Protection/Major War Eras====

Although the islands have lacked very formal government they have all had some formal structure. Aurora was likely some sort of monarchy or feudalistic system (A [[wikipedia: Grand Duchy|Grand Duchy]] to be more exact) the most notable being [[Shino Nanano]], who was appointed Grand Duchess, following her parents death.

Hoshino Island was likely a military coalition, Stillestando (Truce) was a monarchy, Animalpolis was a semi-commonwealth colony. (However it is still likened to an [[wikipedia: Autocracy|Autocracy]]) It was at this time they began intertrading with each other. Still the islands kept mostly to themselves.

====Aurora====
(See also: [[Aurora Island]])

Aurora was doing fairly well for its self. Although it was a Grand Duchy it was very much becoming a direct democracy. The low population the the closeness of people made this pretty achiveable.

====Hoshino====
([[Hoshino Island]])

Hoshino was doing also fairly good. However it suffered from poor soil and frequent bad weather. Some insurgents left over still caused problems. Besides mild civil tension Hoshino did all right.

====Stillestando====
([[Stillestando Island]])

[[Stillestando]] (or Truce Island) still had many problems with civil unrest and bloody violence. Communist rebels still loyal tried multiple times to stage a coup against the king on several occasions. The efforts were unsuccessful and costly. Many civilians were killed in the crossfire and much of the beaches were being littered with artillery.

====Corona====
([[Corona]])
Corona was doing well. Virtually no civil tension existed and the society was that of a near utopia. Corona was rulled more like small villages with a master chief. It was at this time that [[Kino Turell]] was becoming chief.

====Animalpolis====
([[Animalpolis]])

Animalpolis remained undesturbed from the outside and was of course a heaven for those that were the strange minority. This was the point when the leader of Animalpolis agreed to talk to the international community about the nature of this strange and mysterious island. He let a news crew film details about the island but it seemed to do little good for the island, as the documentry was paid little mind and wrote it off.

===Protection Agreement===

As civil tension died out, it seemed more strangers were nearing the coast lines. This had many people in the region nervous. One night a small group of Communist rebels spotted a ship nearing the coast. They had thought their brothers had returned, and attempted another coup. Fortunately it was quickly squashed with no other injuries. On Aurora Shino was officially made Duchess and she began to take a strong role in Government. Shino was fearing the strangers but was unsure what to do with it. During a routine fishing trip Shino was caught in a major storm and washed up on Kanami shores. She was rescued and taken to a hospital and treated. It was soon found out she was infact a Duchess of an island to the south. Kanami took Shino's status seriously and immediately moved her into a secured hospital. When she came too, Shino was able to get a meeting with Prime Minister, [[Elenore Romney]] and asked talked to her regarding the islands. Shino asked Romeny if Kanami would be a Protector state to the islands.

Shino went to great lengths to convince her island neighbors to agree to this, and they did, some with much hesitancy. Kanami's agreement gave the island autonomy and didn't interfere with their personal business. So long as they upheld their end of the bargain by preventing oppressive regimes from invading the other islands, or becoming overly oppressive against basic values of democratic societies.

Eventually the islands began to make pacts to become independent states, Kanami also agreed to help them see through to their independence.

===War===

(Main Article: ''[[The War For Unification]]'' )

The protection didn't last long. After a bitter first war with Stevid
AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would occasionally fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimately led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prison. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrific experience.

<blockquote>''It was a hellish cold dungeon feel. Where I wasn't sure. I was stripped naked and put into a cell to basically freeze. I was frightened for my life each time. I could tell the guards didn't like me but for reasons I wasn't sure. I was never sure if I was going to live or if I was going to be killed.''</blockquote>

By the time she was actually taken to a prison in IH Shino maintans that she was treated better. However some have argued Shino is simply covering up her own truth to protect the islands. According to Shino however, she wasn't stripped or harassed but she still felt scared that she would be a POW for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile Stevid took Hoshino and Truce Island, while [[RedTide 2]] took Corona. Stevid and RT2 began setting up their selected military operations and rooting out infidel militia. Many citizens were also forced to quarter soldiers.

On Truce several war crimes were being committed on a daily basis by the Stevidan Knights Templar group. Shinto priests were being hung for practicing their religion, and speaking out against the Knights.

The island militias found themselves easily beaten by the juggernauts of the Stevid naval armada and had little choice but to surrender. Corona as under the brutal dictatorial state of RedTide2, hundreds were reported to be captured and shot on the spot. Meanwhile RT2 set it's sights on [[Animalpolis]] but found heavy resistance against the stealthy population and a confusing underground maze of caverns. It wasn't long before Aurora was in the sights of these nations, but it eventually went over to Independent Hitmen.

A counter attack by local island militias was mounted and fought but a large hurricane forced most of the heavy forces out. As the forces began to rebound and ready to return, the nations involved were coming back to the negotiating table, and AHSCA citizens were planning to form themselves as a union. [[The AHSCA Constitutional Convention]] was held shortly and AHSCA declared it's independence from any foreign forces including their former protectors.

By the time the war was over over 100,000 people were killed. Women and children amongst them. AHSCA has still long demanded justice but has felt the world has turned it's back on them.

The former [[Lord Yasha]], of Animalpolis has felt strongly of this and has spoken about it.

<blockquote>''Everyone is either seeking money, or is friendly with the GDI. Were just 5 small islands and no one gives a rats ass about us.''</blockquote>

In the aftermath of the war AHSCA began pulling its self back together, as bodies were cremated forests replanted and AHSCA beginning basic Government operations.

It also started relations with Mokastana after Shino wedded to [[George Villa]] from the country. Most of it's relations have included Shino and George being able to visit and the establishment of a military instilation on [[Aurora Island]].

Among other friends with military ties include the nation of Imperial, whom has a base on [[Stillestando Island]].

The elven communist island of [http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Carnelian_Island Carnelian Island] of which culturally and socially AHSCA has a strong common relationship with. Both are among the poorer nations of the world, both live extremely simplistically (the usual island bamboo and grass huts) and both are in alike climates. AHSCA and Carnelian have discussed several pacts to keep the ties strong with each other.

As for it's former protector state, AHSCA is actively wanting to mend relations with Kanami and participate with them. Certain people in the Congress oppose believing AHSCA will once again become a puppeted protected state.

In a controversial move AHSCA aligned it's self with The Ryou Black Islands from the Xanadou region. This met with much criticism from the international community and even cost AHSCA one of it's allies, the Shadow Empire of Imperial, which had previously established a military base, and also from whom [[Anja Kamma]] was dating a soldier. Mokastana agreed to remain AHSCA's ally so long as Mokastana is never forced to support the Ryou Black Islands in anything they do.

AHSCA's reasoning for joining in unison with the Ryou is really the Ryou culture and lifestyle. While Ryou is very developed the country is as diverse as AHSCA and also has one of the highest Anthromimi populations in the world. In the increasingly anti-furry crazed world, AHSCA felt a strong kinship with the Ryou.

AHSCA had formed a military pact but international pressure and threats of invasion and attack pressured AHSCA into breaking the pact and promising never to be apart of any Ryou aggression. AHSCA ultimately felt they were bullied and chorused into surrendering their right as a nation state to associate with whom they please. The future with The Ryou Black Islands is to be determined.

==Climate==

AHSCA climate is [[wikipedia: Tropical|Tropical based]]. It lies primarily on the equator thus receives adequate sunlight. However it also receives an abundance of thunderstorms year round, and double that during AHSCA's winter months are it's driest but it's summer months see the monsoon season. Corona receives most moisture and more storms than all the other islands, it's also the hottest island with a daily average of 100 with +60% humidity. It dips further south than most of it's neighbors which is why it receives the most heat.

Hoshino is slightly more temperate feeling but still retains the tropical climate of the islands.

Animalpolis is very mixed up and receives diffrent styles of weather in diffrent locations.

From the months of Late October-February the monsoon season begins. With it comes a frequency of storms and rough seas. These storms are often very long lasting, very strong, and dump endless amounts of rain on the islands. Lighting is also at it's peak. AHSCA doesn't see many hurricanes during this period but still can receive a few.

==Natural Hazards==

===Hurricanes===

The biggest natural hazard the islands face are hurricanes. Because many villagers still live in small huts they are at constant mercy of the weather. Hurricanes kill an average of 1,000-5,000 people a year, beacuse of lack of adequate shelter and storm surge.

===Lightning===

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/islandstorm.jpg

Lightning also proves to be a major hazard. It's estimated more people die from lightning than hurricanes but this isn't certain. Because of the frequent time often spent in or near water even during thunder storms, there is a sever risk of people being struck or electrocuted.

===Tsunamis===

Tsunamis while rare have been considered significant hazards. The waters near and around AHSCA are volcanically active there is significant risk for tsunamis. The last known Tsunami killed over 500,000 people on Aurora.

==Economy==
AHSCA's economy is slowly forming. AHSCA doesn't recognize or subsidize for private enterprise as many islanders see no real need too because they are raising a family and gathering food.

While flea markets exist and are quite common. The economy primarily relies on it's natural fishing and trading with other nations.

Upon the writing of the constitution a universal [[Island Credit]] was adopted. The Currency is used actively and distributed evenly each year to all the islanders. The islanders may use this to buy food and other items with the currency as well as pay taxes.

==Food==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Fishing.jpg

The most common food for the islanders is obviously fish. Usually at diffrent points during the day, at high tide fish will be mass near the shores, more so than usual circumstances. This makes for quick and bountiful gatherings for the end of the day supper. Fish is also pretty surplussed when there is an approaching storm. In this event fish also come during both high and low tied.

Other foods include many types of citrus fruits, both sweet and sourer. Mangoes, bananas, peaches, and pineapple are regularly found on all the islands. They grow on the large palm trees scattered through the interior of the island and some grow on small plants. Berries are also quite common, but are best following the monsoon seasons.

Rice while not quite as a common as the fruit or fish also may make up an islander's diet. Many islanders will enjoy a bowl full of steamed or polished white rice. Some may fry and create brown rice.

The United Island States of AHSCA is a small chain of islands lying in the south seas of 10000 Islands. The island nation's sovereignty is recognized by most but is disputed by a few such as The Holy Empire of Stevid.

==History==

===Origins===

It isn't known who settled or when these islands were settled. There are many theories as to the islands origins.

====Ancient Break Offs====

This theory states that the islands may have been around since the B.C. eras. From where it isn't known. There are those that present theories that the islands were a result of [[Wikipedia: Pangea|Pangea]]. Some theorize they were once part of the Kanami nation but broke away long before it's settlement. Others have suggested they could have been part of The North Hanover Islands Dependency Chain. Still it isn't known exactly which is the true.

====Underwater Seismic Activity====

The most common and likely theorym that the islands were formed by underwater volcanoes. However non of the AHSCA peaks are seismically active or have erupted (which would account for the often poor soil) which has some scientist baffled.

===Settlement===

Early settlement is still unknown other than the history of [[Animalpolis]] which is believed to be settled by fleeing anthromimi Hybrids most notably the [[Nekos]]. However it is likely the islands were settled from various shipwrecked sailors from the northern areas (Which would explain why not all have naturally tanned skin), but empirical evidence suggest migration from near by islands also helped contribute, which would explain the native race of [[Corona Island]].

Modern history has shown settlements have comed from migration of sailors and other fishermen who chose to use the islands as there, islands such as Hoshino were widley settled by exiled or stranded people.

However the islands have long lacked any formal government until very recently which makes some to belive they may have been settled within the last 5-10 years. Because of most of the primitive nature of the islands, record keeping has been poor to non-existent.

====Occupation Eras====

StillestÃndo was the most notable for the communist occupation that lasted for over a decade. Acting as a Soviet Satellites before they left at some point. During the occupation eras the satellites were primary there as military outposts and not civilian rule. The lives of people were generally uninterested with. Those that pledged loyalty to the ''Motherland'' were drafted and given arms and trained. Once the occupation ended much equipment was left behind as well as insurgents still loyal to the motherland hopping for a revival. The islands were also very separated from each other. Neither of them really interacted much until the end of occupation.

Hoshino was occupied as a commonwealth of [[Aurora Island]].

====Pre-Protection/Major War Eras====

Although the islands have lacked very formal government they have all had some formal structure. Aurora was likely some sort of monarchy or feudalistic system (A [[wikipedia: Grand Duchy|Grand Duchy]] to be more exact) the most notable being [[Shino Nanano]], who was appointed Grand Duchess, following her parents death.

Hoshino Island was likely a military coalition, Stillestando (Truce) was a monarchy, Animalpolis was a semi-commonwealth colony. (However it is still likened to an [[wikipedia: Autocracy|Autocracy]]) It was at this time they began intertrading with each other. Still the islands kept mostly to themselves.

====Aurora====
(See also: [[Aurora Island]])

Aurora was doing fairly well for its self. Although it was a Grand Duchy it was very much becoming a direct democracy. The low population the the closeness of people made this pretty achiveable.

====Hoshino====
([[Hoshino Island]])

Hoshino was doing also fairly good. However it suffered from poor soil and frequent bad weather. Some insurgents left over still caused problems. Besides mild civil tension Hoshino did all right.

====Stillestando====
([[Stillestand]])

[[Stillestando]] (or Truce Island) still had many problems with civil unrest and bloody violence. Communist rebels still loyal tried multiple times to stage a coup against the king on several occasions. The efforts were unsuccessful and costly. Many civilians were killed in the crossfire and much of the beaches were being littered with artillery.

====Corona====
([[Corona]])
Corona was doing well. Virtually no civil tension existed and the society was that of a near utopia. Corona was rulled more like small villages with a master chief. It was at this time that [[Kino Turell]] was becoming chief.

====Animalpolis====
([[Animalpolis]])

Animalpolis remained undesturbed from the outside and was of course a heaven for those that were the strange minority. This was the point when the leader of Animalpolis agreed to talk to the international community about the nature of this strange and mysterious island. He let a news crew film details about the island but it seemed to do little good for the island, as the documentry was paid little mind and wrote it off.

===Protection Agreement===

As civil tension died out, it seemed more strangers were nearing the coast lines. This had many people in the region nervous. One night a small group of Communist rebels spotted a ship nearing the coast. They had thought their brothers had returned, and attempted another coup. Fortunately it was quickly squashed with no other injuries. On Aurora Shino was officially made Duchess and she began to take a strong role in Government. Shino was fearing the strangers but was unsure what to do with it. During a routine fishing trip Shino was caught in a major storm and washed up on Kanami shores. She was rescued and taken to a hospital and treated. It was soon found out she was infact a Duchess of an island to the south. Kanami took Shino's status seriously and immediately moved her into a secured hospital. When she came too, Shino was able to get a meeting with Prime Minister, [[Elenore Romney]] and asked talked to her regarding the islands. Shino asked Romeny if Kanami would be a Protector state to the islands.

Shino went to great lengths to convince her island neighbors to agree to this, and they did, some with much hesitancy. Kanami's agreement gave the island autonomy and didn't interfere with their personal business. So long as they upheld their end of the bargain by preventing oppressive regimes from invading the other islands, or becoming overly oppressive against basic values of democratic societies.

Eventually the islands began to make pacts to become independent states, Kanami also agreed to help them see through to their independence.

===War===

(Main Article: ''[[The War For Unification]]'' )

The protection didn't last long. After a bitter first war with Stevid
AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would occasionally fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimately led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prison. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrific experience.

<blockquote>''It was a hellish cold dungeon feel. Where I wasn't sure. I was stripped naked and put into a cell to basically freeze. I was frightened for my life each time. I could tell the guards didn't like me but for reasons I wasn't sure. I was never sure if I was going to live or if I was going to be killed.''</blockquote>

By the time she was actually taken to a prison in IH Shino maintans that she was treated better. However some have argued Shino is simply covering up her own truth to protect the islands. According to Shino however, she wasn't stripped or harassed but she still felt scared that she would be a POW for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile Stevid took Hoshino and Truce Island, while [[RedTide 2]] took Corona. Stevid and RT2 began setting up their selected military operations and rooting out infidel militia. Many citizens were also forced to quarter soldiers.

On Truce several war crimes were being committed on a daily basis by the Stevidan Knights Templar group. Shinto priests were being hung for practicing their religion, and speaking out against the Knights.

The island militias found themselves easily beaten by the juggernauts of the Stevid naval armada and had little choice but to surrender. Corona as under the brutal dictatorial state of RedTide2, hundreds were reported to be captured and shot on the spot. Meanwhile RT2 set it's sights on [[Animalpolis]] but found heavy resistance against the stealthy population and a confusing underground maze of caverns. It wasn't long before Aurora was in the sights of these nations, but it eventually went over to Independent Hitmen.

A counter attack by local island militias was mounted and fought but a large hurricane forced most of the heavy forces out. As the forces began to rebound and ready to return, the nations involved were coming back to the negotiating table, and AHSCA citizens were planning to form themselves as a union. [[The AHSCA Constitutional Convention]] was held shortly and AHSCA declared it's independence from any foreign forces including their former protectors.

By the time the war was over over 100,000 people were killed. Women and children amongst them. AHSCA has still long demanded justice but has felt the world has turned it's back on them.

The former [[Lord Yasha]], of Animalpolis has felt strongly of this and has spoken about it.

<blockquote>''Everyone is either seeking money, or is friendly with the GDI. Were just 5 small islands and no one gives a rats ass about us.''</blockquote>

In the aftermath of the war AHSCA began pulling its self back together, as bodies were cremated forests replanted and AHSCA beginning basic Government operations.

==Culture==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Beach.jpg

Island culture varies from island to island, other than the language and mild customs. However much of the island culture does fall along the same common lines and values.

===Clothing===

Because of the high temperatures year round nudity is very much tolerated if not encouraged. This can be especially evident in the southern villages of Animalpolis which temperatures can soar to 107° F (41° C) which entire villages will commonly go nude. This isn't as common as on the other islands as they are slightly farther north. Bikinis and other swim ware can be found in a wide variety of places and on all islands.

Aurora is known have more formal and complete clothing, whereas Corona has very basic and primitive clothing.

Other islands have shown no set style exists but Hoshino has shown to favor mostly modesty in it's dress and appearance.

Coronanas are widely known for still wearing loin cloths among other clothing.

===Dating and Courtship===

On Aurora and Corona a common custom when dating is to practice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courting Courtship]. Unlike traditional courtship however, a girl might ask a to Court a boy. It's quite common that girls might ask boys probably more so than in any other country that practices courtship in it's culture. On other islands many dates.

Coronan's don't keep calender time or even track hours of the day. They track by sun and that is it. They consider them selves to be timeless from birth to death. They do not keep track of age either.

It's also custom to officially begin sexual relations with your courting partner. Dates and marriages have been broken off as a result of poor sexual performance, which is why it's so important to the islanders to get a sense of how the person is.

Having children is a custom that follows marriage, not having children brings about much stigma.

Homosexuality is permitted and commonly practiced amongst islanders. While it is an open custom, it brings some stigmatization can come from people who believe it's a sick and disgusting practice. Usually these people hold it as a personal belief and not as a religious belief.

===Hygiene===
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/IneededaBath.jpg

Cleanliness is considered a vital thing. Some will have small baths inside their huts others will wash in the rain, or go to a hotspring in the jungle forests. It's pretty rare for anyone to not take a bath at days end. Some may even bathe 3-4 times a day. Some have attributed this to the Shinto masses which believe in cleanliness. But it's also likely modern habits taught by recovery teams to keep diseases and sicknesses minimal.

Much of the water has natural fluoride which keeps their oral health excellent. The wells established in the post-war recovery also have been treated with fluoride.

===Religion===

Religion isn't common but not unheard of. However there are only a few traces of any Christian religion on the islands. The Christian Church of AHSCA is the nations central Christian faith organization. It gathers islanders together from all the islands to worship God and Jesus Christ.

Prior to the war, the [[wikipedia: Shinto|Shinto]] religion was a major belief on Hoshino and Stillestando However due to the widespread execution of the priests the religion fell and many have converted by force or faith to Christianity. Christian missionaries have also visited these islands widely spreading it actively.

Some villages in Animalpolis belive in two gods, Chronus (Which rougly translates to time) and Idola. Chronus is said to preserve life in the locks of endless time while Idola bring suffering and destruction. Some tribes try to summon Idola to bring about the end of the world. This is evident during hurricanes or other sever storms. Rather than take shelter they stand in the storm and chant incantations that will bring about Idola. There is no official name for this religion or belief some have called it
''Shuukyou of Kuchiku soshite Koi'' (Religion of Destruction and Love) On some of the other islands people either do not take the time to practice or simply just don't associate themselves with any religion.

==Education==

Education is considered optional in AHSCA as most parents virtually see no purpose for it. Consequently the literacy rate is pretty low, less than 1% of the population is literate. There is no government mandate of education, nor government sponsored education. People usually do it out of good will and charity.

==Government==

The Government of the islands is still rather fragile. Although it reflects a republic it still has practicing monarchy.

Each Island is granted it's personal sovereignty unless overruled by the Grand Leader. The Grand Leader is the presider of all the islands and can create a federal law by his/her self.

A new legislative body has been formed by the Grand Duchess Shino and has been active for well over a year. Individuals are allowed to gather into political parties and all islanders are allowed to vote for the party they see best fit to represent them. As of 2008 the current leading party is the [[National Lesbian Party]] the first democratically elected party into the AHSCA congress.

==International Relations==

Naturally as a result of the major war and the fact many alliances have turned them down, the islands are quite distrustful of other countries. International Relations are still fragile and AHSCA still seems to be wanting a low profile to prevent a second conquest by GDI. Shino knows pure isolation may not work, but she her self knows the results of being to well known. The islanders do not want a second protectorate pact after the failed first one.

Over the short time in it's statehood AHSCA has began to expand it's relationship sphere. Opening a major [[Embassy Isle|embassy complex]] on a nearby island allowing most nations to open an office. It also started relations with Mokastana after Shino wedded to [[George Villa]] from the country. Most of it's relations have included Shino and George being able to visit and the establishment of a military instilation on [[Aurora Island]].

Among other friends with military ties include the nation of Imperial, whom has a base on [[Stillestando Island]].

The elven communist island of [http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Carnelian_Island Carnelian Island] of which culturally and socially AHSCA has a strong common relationship with. Both are among the poorer nations of the world, both live extremely simplistically (the usual island bamboo and grass huts) and both are in alike climates. AHSCA and Carnelian have discussed several pacts to keep the ties strong with each other.

As for it's former protector state, AHSCA is actively wanting to mend relations with Kanami and participate with them. Certain people in the Congress oppose believing AHSCA will once again become a puppeted protected state.

In a controversial move AHSCA aligned it's self with The Ryou Black Islands from the Xanadou region. This met with much criticism from the international community and even cost AHSCA one of it's allies, the Shadow Empire of Imperial, which had previously established a military base, and also from whom [[Anja Kamma]] was dating a soldier. Mokastana agreed to remain AHSCA's ally so long as Mokastana is never forced to support the Ryou Black Islands in anything they do.

AHSCA's reasoning for joining in unison with the Ryou is really the Ryou culture and lifestyle. While Ryou is very developed the country is as diverse as AHSCA and also has one of the highest Anthromimi populations in the world. In the increasingly anti-furry crazed world, AHSCA felt a strong kinship with the Ryou.

AHSCA had formed a military pact but international pressure and threats of invasion and attack pressured AHSCA into breaking the pact and promising never to be apart of any Ryou aggression. AHSCA ultimately felt they were bullied and chorused into surrendering their right as a nation state to associate with whom they please. The future with The Ryou Black Islands is to be determined.

Rice while not quite as a common as the fruit or fish also may make up an islander's diet. Many islanders will enjoy a bowl full of steamed or polished white rice. Some may fry and create brown rice.

The United Island States of AHSCA is a small chain of islands lying in the south seas of 10000 Islands. The island nation's sovereignty is recognized by most but is disputed by a few such as The Holy Empire of Stevid.

==History==

===Origins===

It isn't known who settled or when these islands were settled. There are many theories as to the islands origins.

====Ancient Break Offs====

This theory states that the islands may have been around since the B.C. eras. From where it isn't known. There are those that present theories that the islands were a result of [[Wikipedia: Pangea|Pangea]]. Some theorize they were once part of the Kanami nation but broke away long before it's settlement. Others have suggested they could have been part of The North Hanover Islands Dependency Chain. Still it isn't known exactly which is the true.

====Underwater Seismic Activity====

The most common and likely theorym that the islands were formed by underwater volcanoes. However non of the AHSCA peaks are seismically active or have erupted (which would account for the often poor soil) which has some scientist baffled.

===Settlement===

Early settlement is still unknown other than the history of [[Animalpolis]] which is believed to be settled by fleeing anthromimi Hybrids most notably the [[Nekos]]. However it is likely the islands were settled from various shipwrecked sailors from the northern areas (Which would explain why not all have naturally tanned skin), but empirical evidence suggest migration from near by islands also helped contribute, which would explain the native race of [[Corona Island]].

Modern history has shown settlements have comed from migration of sailors and other fishermen who chose to use the islands as there, islands such as Hoshino were widley settled by exiled or stranded people.

However the islands have long lacked any formal government until very recently which makes some to belive they may have been settled within the last 5-10 years. Because of most of the primitive nature of the islands, record keeping has been poor to non-existent.

====Occupation Eras====

StillestÃndo was the most notable for the communist occupation that lasted for over a decade. Acting as a Soviet Satellites before they left at some point. During the occupation eras the satellites were primary there as military outposts and not civilian rule. The lives of people were generally uninterested with. Those that pledged loyalty to the ''Motherland'' were drafted and given arms and trained. Once the occupation ended much equipment was left behind as well as insurgents still loyal to the motherland hopping for a revival. The islands were also very separated from each other. Neither of them really interacted much until the end of occupation.

Hoshino was occupied as a commonwealth of [[Aurora Island]].

====Pre-Protection/Major War Eras====

Although the islands have lacked very formal government they have all had some formal structure. Aurora was likely some sort of monarchy or feudalistic system (A [[wikipedia: Grand Duchy|Grand Duchy]] to be more exact) the most notable being [[Shino Nanano]], who was appointed Grand Duchess, following her parents death.

Hoshino Island was likely a military coalition, Stillestando (Truce) was a monarchy, Animalpolis was a semi-commonwealth colony. (However it is still likened to an [[wikipedia: Autocracy|Autocracy]]) It was at this time they began intertrading with each other. Still the islands kept mostly to themselves.

====Aurora====
(See also: [[Aurora Island]])

Aurora was doing fairly well for its self. Although it was a Grand Duchy it was very much becoming a direct democracy. The low population the the closeness of people made this pretty achiveable.

====Hoshino====

Hoshino was doing also fairly good. However it suffered from poor soil and frequent bad weather. Some insurgents left over still caused problems. Besides mild civil tension Hoshino did all right.

====Stillestando====

[[Stillestando]] (or Truce Island) still had many problems with civil unrest and bloody violence. Communist rebels still loyal tried multiple times to stage a coup against the king on several occasions. The efforts were unsuccessful and costly. Many civilians were killed in the crossfire and much of the beaches were being littered with artillery.

====Corona====

Corona was doing well. Virtually no civil tension existed and the society was that of a near utopia. Corona was rulled more like small villages with a master chief. It was at this time that [[Kino Turell]] was becoming chief.

====Animalpolis====

Animalpolis remained undesturbed from the outside and was of course a heaven for those that were the strange minority. This was the point when the leader of Animalpolis agreed to talk to the international community about the nature of this strange and mysterious island. He let a news crew film details about the island but it seemed to do little good for the island, as the documentry was paid little mind and wrote it off.

===Protection Agreement===

As civil tension died out, it seemed more strangers were nearing the coast lines. This had many people in the region nervous. One night a small group of Communist rebels spotted a ship nearing the coast. They had thought their brothers had returned, and attempted another coup. Fortunately it was quickly squashed with no other injuries. On Aurora Shino was officially made Duchess and she began to take a strong role in Government. Shino was fearing the strangers but was unsure what to do with it. During a routine fishing trip Shino was caught in a major storm and washed up on Kanami shores. She was rescued and taken to a hospital and treated. It was soon found out she was infact a Duchess of an island to the south. Kanami took Shino's status seriously and immediately moved her into a secured hospital. When she came too, Shino was able to get a meeting with Prime Minister, [[Elenore Romney]] and asked talked to her regarding the islands. Shino asked Romeny if Kanami would be a Protector state to the islands.

Shino went to great lengths to convince her island neighbors to agree to this, and they did, some with much hesitancy. Kanami's agreement gave the island autonomy and didn't interfere with their personal business. So long as they upheld their end of the bargain by preventing oppressive regimes from invading the other islands, or becoming overly oppressive against basic values of democratic societies.

Eventually the islands began to make pacts to become independent states, Kanami also agreed to help them see through to their independence.

===War===

(Main Article: ''[[The War For Unification]]'' )

The protection didn't last long. After a bitter first war with Stevid
AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would occasionally fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimately led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prison. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrific experience.

<blockquote>''It was a hellish cold dungeon feel. Where I wasn't sure. I was stripped naked and put into a cell to basically freeze. I was frightened for my life each time. I could tell the guards didn't like me but for reasons I wasn't sure. I was never sure if I was going to live or if I was going to be killed.''</blockquote>

By the time she was actually taken to a prison in IH Shino maintans that she was treated better. However some have argued Shino is simply covering up her own truth to protect the islands. According to Shino however, she wasn't stripped or harassed but she still felt scared that she would be a POW for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile Stevid took Hoshino and Truce Island, while [[RedTide 2]] took Corona. Stevid and RT2 began setting up their selected military operations and rooting out infidel militia. Many citizens were also forced to quarter soldiers.

On Truce several war crimes were being committed on a daily basis by the Stevidan Knights Templar group. Shinto priests were being hung for practicing their religion, and speaking out against the Knights.

The island militias found themselves easily beaten by the juggernauts of the Stevid naval armada and had little choice but to surrender. Corona as under the brutal dictatorial state of RedTide2, hundreds were reported to be captured and shot on the spot. Meanwhile RT2 set it's sights on [[Animalpolis]] but found heavy resistance against the stealthy population and a confusing underground maze of caverns. It wasn't long before Aurora was in the sights of these nations, but it eventually went over to Independent Hitmen.

A counter attack by local island militias was mounted and fought but a large hurricane forced most of the heavy forces out. As the forces began to rebound and ready to return, the nations involved were coming back to the negotiating table, and AHSCA citizens were planning to form themselves as a union. [[The AHSCA Constitutional Convention]] was held shortly and AHSCA declared it's independence from any foreign forces including their former protectors.

By the time the war was over over 100,000 people were killed. Women and children amongst them. AHSCA has still long demanded justice but has felt the world has turned it's back on them.

The former [[Lord Yasha]], of Animalpolis has felt strongly of this and has spoken about it.

<blockquote>''Everyone is either seeking money, or is friendly with the GDI. Were just 5 small islands and no one gives a rats ass about us.''</blockquote>

In the aftermath of the war AHSCA began pulling its self back together, as bodies were cremated forests replanted and AHSCA beginning basic Government operations.

==Culture==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/Beach.jpg

Island culture varies from island to island, other than the language and mild customs. However much of the island culture does fall along the same common lines and values.

===Clothing===

Because of the high temperatures year round nudity is very much tolerated if not encouraged. This can be especially evident in the southern villages of Animalpolis which temperatures can soar to 107° F (41° C) which entire villages will commonly go nude. This isn't as common as on the other islands as they are slightly farther north. Bikinis and other swim ware can be found in a wide variety of places and on all islands.

Aurora is known have more formal and complete clothing, whereas Corona has very basic and primitive clothing.

Other islands have shown no set style exists but Hoshino has shown to favor mostly modesty in it's dress and appearance.

Coronanas are widely known for still wearing loin cloths among other clothing.

===Dating and Courtship===

On Aurora and Corona a common custom when dating is to practice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courting Courtship]. Unlike traditional courtship however, a girl might ask a to Court a boy. It's quite common that girls might ask boys probably more so than in any other country that practices courtship in it's culture. On other islands many dates.

Coronan's don't keep calender time or even track hours of the day. They track by sun and that is it. They consider them selves to be timeless from birth to death. They do not keep track of age either.

It's also custom to officially begin sexual relations with your courting partner. Dates and marriages have been broken off as a result of poor sexual performance, which is why it's so important to the islanders to get a sense of how the person is.

Having children is a custom that follows marriage, not having children brings about much stigma.

Homosexuality is permitted and commonly practiced amongst islanders. While it is an open custom, it brings some stigmatization can come from people who believe it's a sick and disgusting practice. Usually these people hold it as a personal belief and not as a religious belief.

===Hygiene===
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/IneededaBath.jpg

Cleanliness is considered a vital thing. Some will have small baths inside their huts others will wash in the rain, or go to a hotspring in the jungle forests. It's pretty rare for anyone to not take a bath at days end. Some may even bathe 3-4 times a day. Some have attributed this to the Shinto masses which believe in cleanliness. But it's also likely modern habits taught by recovery teams to keep diseases and sicknesses minimal.

Much of the water has natural fluoride which keeps their oral health excellent. The wells established in the post-war recovery also have been treated with fluoride.

===Religion===

Religion isn't common but not unheard of. However there are only a few traces of any Christian religion on the islands. The Christian Church of AHSCA is the nations central Christian faith organization. It gathers islanders together from all the islands to worship God and Jesus Christ.

Prior to the war, the [[wikipedia: Shinto|Shinto]] religion was a major belief on Hoshino and Stillestando However due to the widespread execution of the priests the religion fell and many have converted by force or faith to Christianity. Christian missionaries have also visited these islands widely spreading it actively.

Some villages in Animalpolis belive in two gods, Chronus (Which rougly translates to time) and Idola. Chronus is said to preserve life in the locks of endless time while Idola bring suffering and destruction. Some tribes try to summon Idola to bring about the end of the world. This is evident during hurricanes or other sever storms. Rather than take shelter they stand in the storm and chant incantations that will bring about Idola. There is no official name for this religion or belief some have called it
''Shuukyou of Kuchiku soshite Koi'' (Religion of Destruction and Love) On some of the other islands people either do not take the time to practice or simply just don't associate themselves with any religion.

==Education==

Education is considered optional in AHSCA as most parents virtually see no purpose for it. Consequently the literacy rate is pretty low, less than 1% of the population is literate. There is no government mandate of education, nor government sponsored education. People usually do it out of good will and charity.

==Government==

The Government of the islands is still rather fragile. Although it reflects a republic it still has practicing monarchy.

Each Island is granted it's personal sovereignty unless overruled by the Grand Leader. The Grand Leader is the presider of all the islands and can create a federal law by his/her self.

A new legislative body has been formed by the Grand Duchess Shino and has been active for well over a year. Individuals are allowed to gather into political parties and all islanders are allowed to vote for the party they see best fit to represent them. As of 2008 the current leading party is the [[National Lesbian Party]] the first democratically elected party into the AHSCA congress.

==International Relations==

Naturally as a result of the major war and the fact many alliances have turned them down, the islands are quite distrustful of other countries. International Relations are still fragile and AHSCA still seems to be wanting a low profile to prevent a second conquest by GDI. Shino knows pure isolation may not work, but she her self knows the results of being to well known. The islanders do not want a second protectorate pact after the failed first one.

Over the short time in it's statehood AHSCA has began to expand it's relationship sphere. Opening a major [[Embassy Isle|embassy complex]] on a nearby island allowing most nations to open an office. It also started relations with Mokastana after Shino wedded to [[George Villa]] from the country. Most of it's relations have included Shino and George being able to visit and the establishment of a military instilation on [[Aurora Island]].

Among other friends with military ties include the nation of Imperial, whom has a base on [[Stillestando Island]].

The elven communist island of [http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Carnelian_Island Carnelian Island] of which culturally and socially AHSCA has a strong common relationship with. Both are among the poorer nations of the world, both live extremely simplistically (the usual island bamboo and grass huts) and both are in alike climates. AHSCA and Carnelian have discussed several pacts to keep the ties strong with each other.

As for it's former protector state, AHSCA is actively wanting to mend relations with Kanami and participate with them. Certain people in the Congress oppose believing AHSCA will once again become a puppeted protected state.

In a controversial move AHSCA aligned it's self with The Ryou Black Islands from the Xanadou region. This met with much criticism from the international community and even cost AHSCA one of it's allies, the Shadow Empire of Imperial, which had previously established a military base, and also from whom [[Anja Kamma]] was dating a soldier. Mokastana agreed to remain AHSCA's ally so long as Mokastana is never forced to support the Ryou Black Islands in anything they do.

AHSCA's reasoning for joining in unison with the Ryou is really the Ryou culture and lifestyle. While Ryou is very developed the country is as diverse as AHSCA and also has one of the highest Anthromimi populations in the world. In the increasingly anti-furry crazed world, AHSCA felt a strong kinship with the Ryou.

AHSCA had formed a military pact but international pressure and threats of invasion and attack pressured AHSCA into breaking the pact and promising never to be apart of any Ryou aggression. AHSCA ultimately felt they were bullied and chorused into surrendering their right as a nation state to associate with whom they please. The future with The Ryou Black Islands is to be determined.

==Climate==

AHSCA climate is [[wikipedia: Tropical|Tropical based]]. It lies primarily on the equator thus receives adequate sunlight. However it also receives an abundance of thunderstorms year round, and double that during AHSCA's winter months are it's driest but it's summer months see the monsoon season. Corona receives most moisture and more storms than all the other islands, it's also the hottest island with a daily average of 100 with +60% humidity. It dips further south than most of it's neighbors which is why it receives the most heat.

Hoshino is slightly more temperate feeling but still retains the tropical climate of the islands.

Animalpolis is very mixed up and receives diffrent styles of weather in diffrent locations.

From the months of Late October-February the monsoon season begins. With it comes a frequency of storms and rough seas. These storms are often very long lasting, very strong, and dump endless amounts of rain on the islands. Lighting is also at it's peak. AHSCA doesn't see many hurricanes during this period but still can receive a few.

==Natural Hazards==

===Hurricanes===

The biggest natural hazard the islands face are hurricanes. Because many villagers still live in small huts they are at constant mercy of the weather. Hurricanes kill an average of 1,000-5,000 people a year, beacuse of lack of adequate shelter and storm surge.

===Lightning===

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/islandstorm.jpg

Lightning also proves to be a major hazard. It's estimated more people die from lightning than hurricanes but this isn't certain. Because of the frequent time often spent in or near water even during thunder storms, there is a sever risk of people being struck or electrocuted.

===Tsunamis===

Tsunamis while rare have been considered significant hazards. The waters near and around AHSCA are volcanically active there is significant risk for tsunamis. The last known Tsunami killed over 500,000 people on Aurora.

==Economy==
AHSCA's economy is slowly forming. AHSCA doesn't recognize or subsidize for private enterprise as many islanders see no real need too because they are raising a family and gathering food.

While flea markets exist and are quite common. The economy primarily relies on it's natural fishing and trading with other nations.

Upon the writing of the constitution a universal [[Island Credit]] was adopted. The Currency is used actively and distributed evenly each year to all the islanders. The islanders may use this to buy food and other items with the currency as well as pay taxes.

==Food==

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Fishing.jpg

The most common food for the islanders is obviously fish. Usually at diffrent points during the day, at high tide fish will be mass near the shores, more so than usual circumstances. This makes for quick and bountiful gatherings for the end of the day supper. Fish is also pretty surplussed when there is an approaching storm. In this event fish also come during both high and low tied.

Other foods include many types of citrus fruits, both sweet and sourer. Mangoes, bananas, peaches, and pineapple are regularly found on all the islands. They grow on the large palm trees scattered through the interior of the island and some grow on small plants. Berries are also quite common, but are best following the monsoon seasons.

Rice while not quite as a common as the fruit or fish also may make up an islander's diet. Many islanders will enjoy a bowl full of steamed or polished white rice. Some may fry and create brown rice.

'''Animalpolis Island''' is the fifth and final state in the AHSCA chain, and is almost entirely populated with [[anthromimis]]. It was established to be a remote and far reaching safe-haven for persecuted anthros around the world. It was also there to establish a population center of similar kinds. Animalpolis was the last member to be admitted the union and has the second highest local economy and the largest land span of the four islands.

==History==

The History of this island is still unknown. This is do to the islands little connection with the outside world. The earliest known activity was in the mid 90's when passing sailors saw bonfires on the beaches, and people moving about.

==Species Present==
Most the inhabitants of the island are considered type-A Hybrids. Thoes that display animal traights.

The island has a surpuls of [[neko]] reining in at 70%
*10% are of wolf (or ookami)
*10% Are [[Kitsune]]
*1% Are Type-B Hybrid, having only traights of an Animal but no physical showings.
*5% are Inu or dog like
*5% are some other species

==Climate==

Animalpolis sits on the equator making it a tropical climate. Hot tempratures year round with a heavy annual rainfall.

==Government==

There is no federal Government present, other than a commonwealth system. The leader who is only known as the Yasha, is by international standards the leader. Still little is known of his day-to-day activties. Thoes that have lived or been to Animalpolis have said he is more of a stabel head acting as a commander-in-cheif more than a leader, that would pass legislation.

==International Views==

Thoes that are aware of it, are usually desired to protect it, or expolit it. Some are fearing that Animalpolis could become a harbor for terrorists after the crimes comitted in the proximiaty of it.

==Issues Concerning Animalpolis==

===Weapons Stockpiling===

There are allegations they are stockpiling weapons maybe even nuclear armaments. It is a known fact AP is stocked up with numerous black market armes sales

===Alleged Crimes Comitted on it's Soil===

On a December night a small child was found dead with his mother nowhere to be found. The leader has accused the mysterious Knights of the Templar to be behind the abduction/murder. As of now no one has been charged with the crime but the leader and the people are convinced it was done by international trespassers due to the extensive crimes being comitted on neighboring island Truce

===Advancement to Statehood===

Animalpolis beacame part of the United Island States of it's neighbors.

Corona Island

AHSCA — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 23:08:25 GMT

http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/?action=view&current=Corona.jpg

'''Corona Island''' is the fourth state in the AHSCA chain, lying in at the most southern point. It is a mostly [[Tribal Grappler]] culture and is also the poorest and simplest living island in the Chain. Corona is also among the top 10 poor nations of the world. However despite the deep poverty, it is crime free. Corona is a chiefdom state.

==History==

History information is highly scarce due to Corona's poor population and culture. Most anthropologist agree Corona was likely settled long before the other islands, however this is based purely in circumstantial evidence and some archeological basis.

===Naming===
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/SolarDiffractionCorona.jpg

Corona's name came about from sailors who noticed the frequent occurrences of [[wikipedia: Corona (meteorology)|Corona effects]] especially after storms. The name wasn't technically official and wasn't widely used by the native population or much of the world for years. It's speculated when Corona began interacting with it's neighbors it bean to use the denoted name. It was used for the first time offically by a major country when AHSCA went under the protection pact.

===Pre-War/Protection===

Much of the Pre-war and protection time Corona was isolated. Few sailors went there and few stayed behind. While the natives were friendly the hot climate and frequent thunderstorms made it hard for foreigners to reside there.

Corona's chiefdom has been apart of the island for quite some time, and strongly desired to maintain the Chiefdom even when it was unified in the republic. Around 2005 Chief [[Kino Turell]] was made the official Chief of the island, with [[Ayla Turell]] as his immediate heir apparent. Kino was the first to arm the islanders with modern weaponry.

===Unification War===

During the Unification War, Corona saw the bloodiest battles. Invaded by RedTide2 the natives proved to have little advantage even with the modern weaponry. Ayla and Kino stood and fought against the invasion until it proved they were no match and officially had their island surrender.

Much of the jungles were napalmed and RT soliders took over most of the residence huts.

When the islands decided to hold the constitutional convention, both Ayla and Kino went at the blessing and discretion of their people. They had to leave and not return until it was over due to the extreme risk of being caught by the foreign occupiers.

During their absence the natives did their best to survive the brutal oppression until the hurricane finally set in.

===Post-War===

In the post-war recover began by replanting the jungles. Knowing the traditional seeding method would take years, much of the jungle foliage was flown in and replanted as full. 77% of the trees and other foliage was restored to near-pre-war levels. The rest was left for nature to take it's course. However a major hurricane hit the islands and much of the replanted was taken out again. So the process was done once again this time with hardier and stronger trees grown in very hurricane prone regions. This method proved effective especially when the monsoon set in.

==Climate and Geography==

http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/?action=view&current=lightning567.jpg

The island is a north-south geography with a hot and humid fully tropical climate.

Due to it's size the island is the most vulnerable to hurricanes especially when they make landfall. Strong thunderstorms are also common on this island due to it's latitude and north-south geography. Annually Corona receives more thunderstorms than any other place in the world.

==Life==

Day to day life of Coronans is fairly simple. Most will live their life by fishing or merchantiling. The family is cared for and children are usually left to play while the adults work. Older children and young teens though will often help their parents in child-care or fishing.

===Culture===

====Gender Roles====

Corona has a patriarch culture in which the Man is the central figure of the family. The man is usually charged with providing food for his wife and children while the woman is charged with caring for the family and the hut. The wife's tasks can include childbearing and raising, as well as keeping the hut clean and in good condition. Often the men will go out for days at a time to fish in open waters and the women will be charged even more with the hut-up keep. As such many of the Corona women are fine carpenters.

====Marriage and Courtship====

Marriage and love is considered the basic destiny of all people. Remaining single with no family is often frowned upon.

Corona's courtship is very strict. Traditionally the boy will request permission to court a young lady from the father. With out permission the boy can become subject to a punishment and the daughter can face expulsion and shunning by her family. If a courtship is proving insufficient both will return and break the relationship. Corona's are generally only allowed to court many at once when the partners all know it.

Traditionally it is also the male to ask the female for marriage first, he will present her with a treasure as a symbol of their love and the girl will accept.

The couple is expected to bear children, there is no limit on the family's children, and the average is about 4-5 children per family.

====Dwellings====

http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/?action=view&current=pkg_beach_bungalow.jpg

Coronans reside heavily in beach-hut type of huts. The interiors aren't very big and usually have hammocks for children to share. The parent's will generally reside on the floor.

Some of these huts may be open ended huts for the poor citizens which are really hard to dwell in.

====Dress and Clothing====

The Coronas are the simple and light dressers with the hot weather. Men seldom to almost never ware any kind of shirt, and girls are very open too.

http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/?action=view&current=swimsuitecopy.jpg

Girls generally ware a top cover and cloth to cover their bottoms, some may go free and not cover at all.

==Ethnicity==

Coronans are primarily of the [[Nigren]] race with some Caucasian. The Caucasian coming from recent immigrants from other islands and in some cases other countries.

Race tensions are usually few and far between but it has happened in both violent and nonviolent ways.

Kino Turell

AHSCA — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 02:46:48 GMT

AHSCA:

Kino Turell the Island Cheif of Corona, and subject to a motion picture by Sakura Taisen and is a now famous poltical and historical figure in AHSCA and Mokastana. He was kidnapped and killed by militant forces unknown only believed to be from the Dictorial State of [[RedTide 2]]. He was one of the co-signees to the [[AHSCA]] Deceleration of Independence and co-drafter of the constitution, which may have ultimately led to his death. He is the late husband of [[Ayla Turell|Ayla]]

==Early Life==

Because of the primitive conditions of the AHSCA islands including Corona what is known about Kino is only known to those who have known him. However many of Kino's friends and family were killed in the war, and his parents died soon after he became chief. What is known from accounts of his wife Ayla is that Kino courted Ayla for a short while. Both fell in love and were officially married by the Cheif. It was shortly after his marriage that Kino was asked to be chief. His age is also a mystery because no accurate records are kept. Coronans see them selves as timeless figures from birth to death. They keep no track of time and no records of time or births.

==Accentuation to Chief==

Kino became chief after weeks of rigorous tasks. This included walking a thin line over the pit of a volcano sailing around the island in a storm and dueling several others. He was named chief after successfully completing all tasks. He proved to be very popular amongst his people, and always found ways to settle disputes with compromise or just reason. He was even known to convince people they were wrong even though they were too proud to admit it the first time around. Following any major storm or hurricane Kino was the first out of the shelter to rebuild the huts of other islanders before his own. Ayla was also at his side when ever he was doing this. He also took care of the children when parents went away on long trips and helped orphaned ones find families on the island.

When the idea of a protection pact was first proposed Kino was hesitant but convinced by [[Shino Villa]] to agree. Kino signed and convinced Ayla to sign. Ayla stated she didn't think Kino regretted even when the islands fell under siege.

Following the first Hanover Conflict Kino didn't particularly like the [[GDI]] peace keepers in the area. According to Ayla GDI peacekeepers often would come onto the beaches of Corona with out consideration.

Kino learned English just to plead with them to leave his people in peace. These accounts are unfounded and solely based on the testimony of Ayla Turell.

==The War==

When the island chain was dragged into a large scale war Kino took up armes to fight off the invaders. When RT2 came ashore in Corona Kino fought them as best off as he could. Ayla was busy trying to get as many people off the island as possible to an island to the north. When the counter invasion failed Kino and the rebellion fled Corona to [[Aurora Island]]. Following the great storm which forced most of the major forces out, the island leaders including Ayla and Kino felt it was time to declare their independence. Several small uprisings had occurred earlier on Hoshino, Truce and Corona, and RT2 was forced off of [[Animalpolis Island]] which gave them confidence.

However declaring independence proved to be widley unsuccessful and everyone came back with a vengeance.

As RT2 began to rear into Crona's waters Kino knew it would be dangerous. He knew if he didn't surrender his people would be slaughtered. Unable to live with that Kino surrendered himself but not before sending his wife away to safety. Kino surrendered and according to witnesses was taken by a group of unknown RedTiden soldiers. RT2 has stated these soldiers were not officially with the main forces but didn't deny responsibility of Kino's kidnapping.

With Shino in the hands of Independendent Hitmen Kino didn't stand a chance. His body was discovered weeks later by Aleardian soldiers doing peace keeping and humanitarian work on the island. Ayla was promoted to chief and his body was put under autopsy. Several unknown chemicals were found in his body. He was honorably burned and his ashes spreaded shortly after the autopsy

Ayla Turell

AHSCA — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 02:32:20 GMT

AHSCA:

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Beach.jpg

Ayla is the chief of [[Corona Island]] in the AHSCA Chain. She took the chief from her late husband [[Kino Turell]], and was also promoted as Village Elder following the death of the previous Elder that elected Kino.

==Early Life==

Much like Kino her early years aren't known too well. However did disclose her fondest childhood memories. Her father was a keen fisher while her mother always stayed behind to keep house. One night a fierce storm ripped their hut apart leaving them temporarily homeless. Ayla's Mother, having little skill in carpentry tried as best as she could to put the hut back together to manage till her father returned. The Hut leaked often during rain and wind blue on them both making for some miserable nights. Ayla would learn carpentry from her future husband Kino. So from now on Ayla could rebuild the hut if it was ever damaged in a storm. She also helped her fellow neighbors out when ever they needed it.

When she became a young teenager (which is considered womanhood/manhood) Ayla was asked to be courted by Kino. They took several dates together and did some crazy and wild stunts, such as jumping into the cove when it was rough seas. They also would go sailing together for days at a time. As this is widely accepted in Courtship neither of their parents paid it mind. Then finally Kino asked for her hand in marriage and both became husband and wife. Ayla and Kino moved to the south shore when they married and built a small hut together. Following a storm they found an old lantern washed ashore and began to use it. Kino and Ayla started out as fishers before Kino was made cheif. Having a long experience in sailing and boating they would both take to the sea together and fish. One day a violent storm struck bobbing them all around along with their fresh catch. When the catch went over board Ayla tried to retrive it but Kino had to rescue her. Upon returning a major hurricane struck and both had no shelter to run to. They sat huddled together in their small hut praying for the best.

==The War==
When the war was brewing Ayla attempted to get many women and children off the island. As RedTide was approaching from the South Shore they moved to the north and shoved people by the boat loads away. When RT2 troops made land fall Kino and Ayla fled to [[Aurora Island]] There they both help draft a constitution and Deceleration of Independence. When RedTide2 was returning for a second round, Ayla knew they were coming for them, the ''traitors''. Kino urged Ayla to flee, she reluctantly did.

<blockquote>''The urgency in my beloved's eyes was intense. I didn't want to leave him I wanted to stay with him and face the enemy. But he urged me to leave. He urged that I would be the vital asset to the islands if he should die. Something I was not wanting to accept, I argued. But as I have always forgotton I can never win an argument with Kino. I took to the stormy seas, knowing I would not see him again but at the same time hoping I would be back in his arms once this was over.''</blockquote>-Ayla Turell

==Cheiefhood==

After the war Ayla returned to Corona and began to oversee the recovery. Thousands laid dead, the jungles were burned away. When Aleard arrived Ayla tried to help in cooperation as best she could. She was promoted to Island Cheif and Elder giving her all remaining powers for life.

==Media==

Ayla is also the co-subject to the motion picture about her husband. She was offered the role but turned it down. The role went to Alejandra Dominguez.

Shino Villa

AHSCA — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 03:30:15 GMT

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Photo%20Shops/Shino.jpg

'''Duchess Shino Villa''' is the current reigning Duchess of AHSCA and Aurora Island. She is wedded to George Villa and has one daughter [[Marcella Villa]].

Shino is a widely pacifistic girl, who took over leadership following her mother's death. She was still very young when it happend but she remembers some details.

==Early Life==

Because AHSCA lack adequate recordings, Shino's life is based purely on her memory. What is known is she was born on Aurora on the eve of a Hurricane strike. It's believed now her birth mother died during child birth, and her father remarried to Kaori Nazuka. Tragedy struck again when Shino's father went out for a fishing trip and never returned. Leaving a still infant Shino with her mother. Karoi was known to care deeply for Shino, and for her horrid fear of thunder and lighting (Which Shino too has).

==Poltical Life==

Shino's early life may be a bit of a blur but Shino recalls very well when she was named the leader of Aurora. Then the island chain was still divided as individual states, and Aurora was the only state she had to worry about. Shino was in charge of delivering justice and due process of law for the islander disputes. She was also charged with rebuilding the villages after a hurricane or gale storm. Shino took her work with great enthusiasm. The moment a storm would clear she would be the first gathering up wood to rebuild the village huts. Hers would be the last but the villagers always offered their huts to their kind benevolent leader. Shino would usually decline the offer if the huts had big families or a couple living in it. Leaving her sleeping under the stars or sometimes in the rain.

But Shino sometimes did take the offer of staying with villagers. Usually female only. Though some allegations of non-sexual sleeping with males has occurred.

===War and Imprisonment===

During the war for the AHSCA islands Shino was captured by Independent Hitmen Leaders and taken to the country. Shino was reportedly thrown into a jail somewhere and held for days. She does maintain she was treated fairly humanely.

==Marriage==

Shino is married to George Villa of Mokostana. He was a responder to a personal ad sent out for Shino to find an appropriate spouse. She has given birth to one daughter named Marcella

==Miscellanea==

*Shino has a horrible fear of thunder and lighting.
*Sleeps nude
*Her favorite food is brown rice with ham

AHSCA Deceleration of Independence

AHSCA — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 20:34:06 GMT

AHSCA:

'''The AHSCA Deceleration of Independence and Self Determination''' is the official document of the UIS declaring theme selves independent of any foreign occupier and from their former protectorate state of Kanami.

==History==

The document was drafted in January following a major hurricane during The War for Unification, and the onset of the monsoon which had brought a temporary cease-fire in the region. The activity's of the congress had to be done in the utmost most secrecy s there were still troops posted on the island.

Leaders of the islands along with their most wise of delegates met up in a secret are which is now the Congressional building today to discuss the possibility of forming a sovereign union, even if it meant them being killed. The islanders knew the obstacles that likely stood in their way including the enemies which would likely come back. However they hopped by declaring independence and showing the world that a bunch of rag tag islands could form together in a peaceful union.

==Delegation==

The delegation was heavily divided. A good section felt that declaring independence was futile as the islands were very poor, and their combined GDP's didn't even match a typical third-world country. In addition most felt that the retaliation would be swift and they would be killed. With Shino still in captivity, no one was quite sure

On the flip side, people felt that the world may side with islands that were aspiring to be a nation they would gain more allies to help them. In addition they may eventually move up the international ladder.

If there was one thing they agreed on, it was unlikely Stevid, IndependentHitmen and RedTide2 would recognize any of them, and it could mean their deaths. After another week of debating, the Delegates voted and agreed to write and sign it. It was the ultimate feeling that even if they died, the would die as free people.

The deceleration was drafted signed and released by the islands to the world stage.

==Reaction==

Very few nations outside of the big allies of Kanami gave AHSCA recognition. Naturally Hotdogs2 refused to recognize AHSCA and Aunesia followed, despite originally recognizing them.

Cookesland, and Brydog were the only other countries to give recognition. RedTide had indeed retaliated by capturing [[Kino Turell]]

National Lesbian Party

AHSCA — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 06:14:24 GMT

AHSCA: /* Immigration */

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/cute2.jpg

The AHSCA National Lesbian Party (abbreviated NLP) is the current leading party and one of the major parties in AHSCA. Founded by [[Kaena]] (right) and her partner [[Arorah]] (left) as a party to represent the interests of Islander Lesbians (which make up a significant demographic) after Kaena's family discovered that she was a Lesbian and promptly disowned her.

It's policies are based mostly in central to moderate-liberalism social equality and strong leadership by the Congress and democratic rule of law.

As of the 2008 Election it is the largest ruling political party in the AHSCA congress with 46 seats. It is also the first Party to be democratically elected by the AHSCA citizens as opposed to the parties being chosen by the Duchess.

==History==

===Founding===
The party was originally formed as Lesbian Fellowship for Girls who were discovering their sexuality and preference with the same sex and for girls who were disowned by their parents as a result of their choices. The Party was originally called '''The Coronan Fellowship for Lesbians'''. It wasn't until several months later that the group was encouraged by Coronanas to form an offical Party in the Congress.

===Entrance into Congress===

Keanea having the most education decided to take up the position with [[Adorinda]] another group member with extensive education and who had been in Congress before. They started out at the basic five seats. Kaena had her basic political training under Lady Schala as well as Adorinda.

The party had it's first major political action when the [[Bill of Rights]] was introduced. The Bill was heavily backed by the party even though most said to back off for fear of the party's endorsement would harm the bill's chances of being implemented. Kanea was in disagreement she felt regardless of who endorsed it the bill was perfect. Especially Article 4 which gave provisions to Free Courtship (dating). The bill passed by a landslide majority and the party's backing gave it a huge advantage in the Congress. During the first Seating Arrangement made by Shino Villa the Party was granted six seats allowing it to become the new Minority Party of the Congress.

===Rise to Majority===

During the 2008 Congressional Election the NLP sought to become the new Majority Party, and to do that they would have to reach out to everyone. The NLP wanted to assure Christian Islanders that they would not have to give up their moral standards and that they would not be forced to accept the practice of Homosexuality but they should respect it and the choices of the party members. They also had to show that this small no-name party was qualified to lead over the much more experience and solid [[National Islander Party]].

Adorina, Arorah, and Kaena all campaigned through the islands wining over voters while at the same time avoiding vicious mudslinging and frivolous attacks.

It wasn't long until Election Day came and everyone began voting, in a dead heat election the results showed the votes 48.28% for the National Lesbian Party. It was a surprising vote but not surprising as to how close it was. The party and it's heads graciously accepted and congratulated the NIP for a good campaign.

==Structure==

The current Party Head and is Kaena the The Vice-Speaker/Chairman is Adorina, and the Community Organizer is Arorah, all of whom helped form the party. Each of the women are charged in helping the party run smoothly, organizing volunteers, fundraising and maping out strategy. By AHSCA party policy the Party Chair/Head is given to be the delegate speaker of Congress while the Vice Speaker/Chairman is there to assist the delegate in her duties as Congressional Delegate. The Organizer helps people learn about the party and attract members.

==Ideology==

While party members may have diffrent views on political affairs, the Party advocates several underlined ideological bases.

===Powers of the Government===

The party strongly believes in a unified and strong central government in which the common people can still participate in. They believe AHSCA is a republic and federation and should be remember as such, and do not support the ability of a court to change the law with out full representation of the people.

The Party believes Congress has the right to legislate to the will but the people have the right to overturn a legislation. As such they support a ballot-based initiative of an annual legislation vote by the people in which the people can vote if the support or reject certain laws enacted.

===Economic===

The party is classically liberal in it's economic policy however VC Adorinda is very much a socialist. As such the party is pretty divided between free and limited market as well as the distribution of wealth among the people.

The party is very much in favor of the current economy and primitive conditions on AHSCA. They believe the Pre-developed society has kept their culture rich in tradition, their families and communities tight nit and has prevented over cynicism from developing.

===Social===

The party believes in a free society for all to enjoy. Surprisingly a good majority do not favor flat out secularism or any thing that restricts the faith of the people. While the islands are widely agnostic to not-religious several faiths have formed in the post-war era including Christianity. The party respects the religious populous because the religious populous shows it respect in return. The party tries not to regulate the practice of faith and the works and movements by faith based organizations.

The Party Supports the current [[Educational Choice]] practiced in the islands especially by those on Corona.

Most of the party opposes Abortion except in the cases of rape and incest and life threatening complications. However fewer than 1% of women have abortions in AHSCA.

As they are a Lesbian Party they support the rights of all LGBT people however their primary focus is on Lesbians which have a higher stake in AHSCA than gays bi and transsexual combined. (See also: [[Lesbian Culture of AHSCA]])

===Defense===

The party supports the idea of each island maintaining it's local militia and the Unified Militia Movement. They desire a good strong defense budget but feel it shouldn't be the priority of the Government.

The party also supports unilateralism in issues of national security, believing in the ability and right of the United States to act without external or international support in its own self-interest.

===Immigration===

The party is very open border and believes everyone should have the right to come and enjoy AHSCA as their new place of residence if they chose. Obviously as moving to AHSCA is never an easy task for those of modern upbringing, they see no reason to have a border patrol outside national defense. Anthromimi refugees are widely welcomed by the AHSCA government and the party feels it's time to extend this to more surrounding islanders, particularly the Ryous.

As such they also support the right of citizens to immigrate in and out of the country.

==Voter Base==

All data based off the election of 2008 has formulatd a probable voter base for future elections.

===Business===

The divided but mostly socialist leaning party has ranked low among business and enterprise around the world. Flea market tenders have been split almost 50-50 on the party.

Foreign business ranks very low with the desire to keep the primitive ideal of the islands and again the mostly left-leaning party.

Even though the party is Lesbian based the gay vote came in strongly with 75%

General anime-Caucasian came in behind with 45% of the vote.

===Age===

The party scored very well among the young voters (age 13-20) but less well among the older voters. Young voters were in the high 50s but older in the lower 30s.

===Location===

The party of Corona naturally scored high among Coronans more than any island in the union. Every other island was very average in the moderate voting range.

AHSCA: /* Rise to Majority */

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/cute2.jpg

The AHSCA National Lesbian Party (abbreviated NLP) is the current leading party and one of the major parties in AHSCA. Founded by [[Kaena]] (right) and her partner [[Arorah]] (left) as a party to represent the interests of Islander Lesbians (which make up a significant demographic) after Kaena's family discovered that she was a Lesbian and promptly disowned her.

It's policies are based mostly in central to moderate-liberalism social equality and strong leadership by the Congress and democratic rule of law.

As of the 2008 Election it is the largest ruling political party in the AHSCA congress with 46 seats. It is also the first Party to be democratically elected by the AHSCA citizens as opposed to the parties being chosen by the Duchess.

==History==

===Founding===
The party was originally formed as Lesbian Fellowship for Girls who were discovering their sexuality and preference with the same sex and for girls who were disowned by their parents as a result of their choices. The Party was originally called '''The Coronan Fellowship for Lesbians'''. It wasn't until several months later that the group was encouraged by Coronanas to form an offical Party in the Congress.

===Entrance into Congress===

Keanea having the most education decided to take up the position with [[Adorinda]] another group member with extensive education and who had been in Congress before. They started out at the basic five seats. Kaena had her basic political training under Lady Schala as well as Adorinda.

The party had it's first major political action when the [[Bill of Rights]] was introduced. The Bill was heavily backed by the party even though most said to back off for fear of the party's endorsement would harm the bill's chances of being implemented. Kanea was in disagreement she felt regardless of who endorsed it the bill was perfect. Especially Article 4 which gave provisions to Free Courtship (dating). The bill passed by a landslide majority and the party's backing gave it a huge advantage in the Congress. During the first Seating Arrangement made by Shino Villa the Party was granted six seats allowing it to become the new Minority Party of the Congress.

===Rise to Majority===

During the 2008 Congressional Election the NLP sought to become the new Majority Party, and to do that they would have to reach out to everyone. The NLP wanted to assure Christian Islanders that they would not have to give up their moral standards and that they would not be forced to accept the practice of Homosexuality but they should respect it and the choices of the party members. They also had to show that this small no-name party was qualified to lead over the much more experience and solid [[National Islander Party]].

Adorina, Arorah, and Kaena all campaigned through the islands wining over voters while at the same time avoiding vicious mudslinging and frivolous attacks.

It wasn't long until Election Day came and everyone began voting, in a dead heat election the results showed the votes 48.28% for the National Lesbian Party. It was a surprising vote but not surprising as to how close it was. The party and it's heads graciously accepted and congratulated the NIP for a good campaign.

==Structure==

The current Party Head and is Kaena the The Vice-Speaker/Chairman is Adorina, and the Community Organizer is Arorah, all of whom helped form the party. Each of the women are charged in helping the party run smoothly, organizing volunteers, fundraising and maping out strategy. By AHSCA party policy the Party Chair/Head is given to be the delegate speaker of Congress while the Vice Speaker/Chairman is there to assist the delegate in her duties as Congressional Delegate. The Organizer helps people learn about the party and attract members.

==Ideology==

While party members may have diffrent views on political affairs, the Party advocates several underlined ideological bases.

===Powers of the Government===

The party strongly believes in a unified and strong central government in which the common people can still participate in. They believe AHSCA is a republic and federation and should be remember as such, and do not support the ability of a court to change the law with out full representation of the people.

The Party believes Congress has the right to legislate to the will but the people have the right to overturn a legislation. As such they support a ballot-based initiative of an annual legislation vote by the people in which the people can vote if the support or reject certain laws enacted.

===Economic===

The party is classically liberal in it's economic policy however VC Adorinda is very much a socialist. As such the party is pretty divided between free and limited market as well as the distribution of wealth among the people.

The party is very much in favor of the current economy and primitive conditions on AHSCA. They believe the Pre-developed society has kept their culture rich in tradition, their families and communities tight nit and has prevented over cynicism from developing.

===Social===

The party believes in a free society for all to enjoy. Surprisingly a good majority do not favor flat out secularism or any thing that restricts the faith of the people. While the islands are widely agnostic to not-religious several faiths have formed in the post-war era including Christianity. The party respects the religious populous because the religious populous shows it respect in return. The party tries not to regulate the practice of faith and the works and movements by faith based organizations.

The Party Supports the current [[Educational Choice]] practiced in the islands especially by those on Corona.

Most of the party opposes Abortion except in the cases of rape and incest and life threatening complications. However fewer than 1% of women have abortions in AHSCA.

As they are a Lesbian Party they support the rights of all LGBT people however their primary focus is on Lesbians which have a higher stake in AHSCA than gays bi and transsexual combined. (See also: [[Lesbian Culture of AHSCA]])

===Defense===

The party supports the idea of each island maintaining it's local militia and the Unified Militia Movement. They desire a good strong defense budget but feel it shouldn't be the priority of the Government.

The party also supports unilateralism in issues of national security, believing in the ability and right of the United States to act without external or international support in its own self-interest.

===Immigration===

The party is very open border and believes everyone should have the right to come and enjoy AHSCA as their new place of residence if they chose. Obviously as moving to AHSCA is never an easy task for those of modern upbringing, they see no reason to have a border patrol outside national defense. Anthromimi refugees are widely welcomed by the AHSCA government and the party feels it's time to extend this to more surrounding islanders, particularly the Ryous.

As such they also support the right of citizens to immigrate in and out of the country.
