Sudmoll is an island in the western [[Polynesia]]n archipelago. It is a low-laying coastal plain. | |||
The two main types of forest are those dominated by broadleaf trees: {{wp|Podocarpaceae|podocarps}} and {{wp|Nothofagus|southern beech}}. The remaining vegetation types consist of grasslands, the majority of which are {{wp|Tussock grassland|tussock}}. | |||

Sudmoll has a maritime temperate oceanic climate meaning it is fairly temperate characterised by four distinct seasons. Winters are relatively mild and summers comparatively cool. Most of the island receives between 618 mm or 24.3 in and 1,317 mm or 51.9 in of precipitation annually. Because of its location just about the 30th parallel, Sudmoll is in the very southern reaches of the {{wp|Hadley cell}} where the prevailing winds go away from the island to the northwest and southeast. This means that precipitation is very season dependent as the slightest shift in the wind currents greatly impacts if the island is getting air laden with water vapor from the ocean or if the winds are drawing moisture away from the island. | |||

The period that coalesces with the [[Occidental]] "Classical Antiquity" in Sudmoll witnessed the consolidation of chiefdoms into larger political entities, culminating in the establishment of the powerful Tu'i Manu'a dynasty around 100 CE. This dynasty, based in the island's central highlands, exerted political and economic control over much of Sudmoll. The Tu'i Manu'a rulers commissioned the construction of impressive stone temples, palaces, and ceremonial centers, reflecting their power and prestige. | The period that coalesces with the [[Occidental]] "Classical Antiquity" in Sudmoll witnessed the consolidation of chiefdoms into larger political entities, culminating in the establishment of the powerful Tu'i Manu'a dynasty around 100 CE.

During this period, Sudmoll's society reached a high level of sophistication, with a complex social hierarchy, specialized craft production, and extensive trade networks. The island's artisans produced exquisite pottery, textiles, and wood carvings, while its navigators ventured far beyond its shores, establishing trade links with distant islands and exchanging goods such as obsidian, pearls, and feathers. | During this period, Sudmoll's society reached a high level of sophistication, with a complex social hierarchy, specialized craft production, and extensive trade networks.

Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa (The Great Ocean of Kiwa) was a Polynesian cultural thalattocracy from approximately 500 CE to 1590 CE when it it's last sovereign territories full under the sway of the [[Daxia#Qian_Dynasty_(1550-1946)|Qian dynasty of Daxia]]. The Polynesian islands in the [[Polynesian Sea]] and [[Okatian Sea]] flourished under the empires approach of political decentralization, economic dynamism, societal hierarchies, and remarkable cultural achievements. At the heart of Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa's political structure were a class of hereditary ''ariki'' (chiefs) who ruled independent chiefdoms. The ''akiri'', where vessels of the tribe's ''{{wp|Mana_(Oceanian_cultures)|mana}}'', a spiritual force in the Polynesian canon, and they wielded both political and spiritual authority. Their legitimacy was reinforced by a system of sacred prohibitions and restrictions that regulated social behavior and maintained social order called ''tapu''. While each chiefdom operated autonomously, a sophisticated system of inter-island alliances fostered cooperation and exchange. These alliances, often forged through marriage, trade, and shared ancestry, created a sense of unity and common purpose within the thatalocrassy. | Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa (The Great Ocean of Kiwa) was a Polynesian cultural thalattocracy from approximately 500 CE to 1590 CE when it it's last sovereign territories full under the sway of the [[Daxia#Qian_Dynasty_(1550-1946)|Qian dynasty of Daxia]].

The island of Sudmoll was first visited and recorded by [[Occidental]]s when it was recounted by [[Pelaxia]]n or [[Cartadania]]n fishermen in the late 1480s. It remained obscure to them for the next 100 yrs as it was beyond reasonable travel and the tribes were hostile to foreigners. | The island of Sudmoll was first visited and recorded by [[Occidental]]s when it was recounted by [[Pelaxia]]n or [[Cartadania]]n fishermen in the late 1480s.
