'''The Islands''' is a term referring to the region of [[Urcea]] including the provinces of [[North Crotona]], [[South Crotona]], [[Tromarine]], and [[Halfway]]. Consisting of some of Urcea's most geographically distinct and latest acquired territories, the Islands reflect a diverse array of cultural and historical influences with primarily [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]], [[Latinic people|Latinic]] backgrounds though significantly impacted by the influence of [[Audonia|Audonian]] civilization.

The Islands are occasionally claimed to be parts of [[Sarpedon]] along with [[Urlazio]], but a majority consensus of scholars place Tromarine and [[Crotona]] in [[Levantia]] while placing Halfway in Sarpedon. The term the Islands sometimes is expanded to include [[Herciana]], but as an overseas rectory of Urcea and relatively recent addition it is not widely considered part of [[Urcea]] proper; a small minority of cultural observers even include [[Talionia]] within the definition of The Islands, but as it is not part of Urcea it is not usually included. | ||
Within Urcea, the islands were unified as a single entity under the [[Kingdom of Crotona]], which existed as a [[Government_of_Urcea#Crownland|crownland]] of [[Urcea]] from 1660 to 1892. During that time, the three islands became closely associated with one another not only administratively but also culturally and politically. Following the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]], the Islands took their current provincial form. | Within Urcea, the islands were unified as a single entity under the [[Kingdom of Crotona]], which existed as a [[Government_of_Urcea#Crownland|crownland]] of [[Urcea]] from 1660 to 1892.

Between [[1782]] and [[1943]], [[Caphiria]] claimed all of the islands as "natural parts of Caphiria as insular regions of [[Sarpedon]]". Their claim was abandoned as part of the [[Treaty of Kartika]]. Accordingly, a Caphirian sponsored insurgent organization known as the "''Provisional Government of the Province of Outer Urlazio''" was active in the islands during the [[Second Great War]]. Though the organization never had wide support, it carried out various missions of espionage and sabotage on behalf of the Caphirian government. Its members largely abandoned the islands following the end of the war, though some remained and were subject to a long-running series of investigations which lead to a large wave of arrests in the 1960s. | Between [[1782]] and [[1943]], [[Caphiria]] claimed all of the islands as "natural parts of Caphiria as insular regions of [[Sarpedon]]".

==Culture and society== | |||
The Islands have a decidedly more [[Sarpedon]]ic cultural background both due to their history as well as the social traditions and mores that make the region unique. | |||
