'''Huadao''' is an island in the [[Trade Islands]] area that is part of [[Urcea]].

'''Huadao''' is an island in the [[Trade Islands]] area that is part of [[Urcea]]. Prior to the 19th century, Huadao was inhabited on an inconsistent basis, and it was claimed by [[Daxia]]. The island was rich in {{wp|guano}} deposits. Following Urcea's acquisition of [[Rapa Rapa]], it was able to project naval power into the [[Ocean of Cathay]], and the guano-rich island became a possible target for expansion. Urcea took the island from Daxia in the [[Guano War]] and began mining operations while also colonizing the island. In the early 20th century, most of the accumulated guano was depleted, but the island remained economically viable due to trade with Alshar and other parts of the Trade Islands, as well as its importance as a {{wp|coaling station}}. Huadao in the 21st century is primarily inhabited by people of Levantine descent or by Audonian mainlanders.
