Many of the characteristic [[Audonia]]n species—large mammals such as the {{wp|elephant}}, {{wp|rhinoceros}}, {{wp|giraffe}}, {{wp|zebra}}, and {{wp|antelope}} and predators such as {{wp|lions}} and {{wp|leopards}}—do not exist on Chaukhira. In addition, the island has been spared the great variety of venomous snakes indigenous to the [[Audonia]]n continent. Although it is assumed that most life forms on the island had an [[Audonia]]n origin, isolation has allowed old species—elsewhere extinct—to survive and new species unique to the island to evolve. Thus, a great number of plant, insect, reptile, and fish species are endemic to Chaukhira, and all indigenous land mammal species—66 in all—are unique to the island.

Chaukhira was once covered almost completely by forests, but slash and burn practices for dry rice and rubber cultivation, Secondary growth, which has replaced the original forest and consists to a large extent of {{wp|traveller's trees}}, {{wp|raffia palm}}, and {{wp|baobabs}}, is found in many places. The country has some 900 species of {{wp|orchid}}. {{wp|Bananas}}, {{wp|mangoes}}, {{wp|coconut}}, {{wp|vanilla}}, and other tropical plants grow throughout.

==History==

During the [[Second Great War]] ([[1934]] to [[1943]]), Chaukhira was the site of a number of operations initiated by both [[Burgundie]] and [[Caphiria]] through its proxy [[Zaclaria]]. In [[1937]], [[Zaclaria]]n forces invaded the Chaukhiroise island of Taoulga which they were able to hold for the duration of the war.

Chaukhira is part of the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s [[Geography_of_Burgundie#Audonio-Alshari_Burgundie|Audonio-Alshari Burgundie]] geographic designation. [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]] is a constituent country equivalent of [[Burgundie]] with its own assembly, prime minister, budget, and laws. [[Burgundie]]'s national governmental influence is limited to subsidies, education, and security, however, its financial and cultural institutes cast a long shadow across Sudmoll.

Like the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Legislative_Branch|Citizens Court of the National Assembly (Burg. La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional, ACAN)]], The Chaukhiroise Citizen's Court of the Provincial Assembly is a unicameral legislator. It makes provincial law, has the power of the provincial purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the provincial government. The Assembly has three seats for each province, one for the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s Chaukhira liaison, 3 for the clergy, 3 seats reserved for municipal leaders, and 3 for a rota of private business leaders. On 6 occasions throughout the year 3 more seats are opened to the public to debate topics that are not on the annual legislative agenda.

Since [[2003]], the drug trade, especially the opium trade has become a major issue in Chaukhira when the [[Alainfisal#Drug_trade|Alainfisali Kishahurav network]] expanded onto the islands. The [[Revenue_Guard#Organization|Revenue Guard's Grand Station of the Orient]] has increased patrols, monitoring, and personnel on the islands. The issue has also sparked a public health emergency which was called into effect in [[2004]] and remains in effect today.
