The Colony of Saxalin is a Kiravian colony located on an archipelago of three large islands in the Pelian Ocean of Ixnay.

History

The Saxalin Islands have no native population, remaining unpeopled for millennia due to their remoteness and the harsh conditions of the surrounding ocean. They were first settled in 20912 by Coscivians from Kiravia and Sydona. These early Coscivian colonists made their living primarily by fishing, farming, and keeping sheep and goats until serious mineral prospecting and the promise of mineral wealth attracted more emigrants to the remote archipelago.

Society & Culture

The ethnic makeup of the Sakhalins is 91% Coscivian, 6% Celtic, and 3% other (including Sarpic, Skithanawite, Old Sydonan, and Corummese).

The largest individual Coscivian subgroups in the Sakhalins are Austral Coscivians from Sydona, Australic Coscivians from Koré'hetanùa, Kandan Coscivians, Taństan Coscivians, Arnórian and Norborian Coscivians, West Coast Marine Coscivians, Kaltan and Phrydhian Coscivians, and Æonaran Coscivians. Vibrant communities of Sēoran Coscivians (Kāloatem, Vespâniem, Koralem, Ibuskem), Tenebric Coscivians (Iruktem, Kibirskem, Krôysanyem), and Caspoärian Coscivians (Stelanovians, Cervonians), Pineratem, and Túkluskans have settled in previously undeveloped rural areas in the interior of the islands, and in the mining communities.

Economy

Nickel mining complex

The economy of the Saxalin Islands is built atop a strong primary sector. The two most important components of the primary sector are offshore oil and gas extraction and nickel mining on [island]. Several other minor mineral deposits are also currently being mined.

The most profitable agricultural venture in the Sakhalins is the raising of sheep for wool. Hogs, goats, and a small number of Highland Ginger cows are also reared. Crop farming on the islands is limited mostly to staple foods such as potato, cale, barley, and rye, as well as feed crops for livestock.
