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 | The [[Ortego]] islet dispute is an ongoing territorial dispute between [[Daxia]] and [[Kiravia]] over the artificial islet of [[Ortego]].

It also claimed that a lighthouse that had existed on the islet was illegaly demolished by the kirosocialists. | ||
