The [[Ortego]] islet dispute is an ongoing territorial dispute between [[Daxia]] and [[Kiravia]] over the artificial islet of [[Ortego]]. The islet was built in 1978 by the [[Kiravian Union]] with two purposes in mind. Firstly as a possible bolthole for high ranking members of the [[Kirosocialist Party]] and secondly as a way to section off a large triangular area between the [[Sea of Orixtal]] and the [[Polynesian Sea]] for oil exploration. The other two points of the triangle were to be [[Sarolasta]] and [[Seváronsa]]. In 1991 the government of [[Daxia]] claimed the islet was not an artificial construction but a naturally formed one named ''Huang Mao''; [[Daxia]] claimed the Huang Mao had been used as a resting spot by Daxian crabbers since at least the late Zhong dynasty. It also claimed that a lighthouse that had existed on the islet was illegaly demolished by the kirosocialists.

In June 1983 the Daxian navy ran aground the crab ship ''Choronzon'' into shallows near the islet and raised a Daxian flag thus claiming sovereignty over [[Ortego]].
