History
Scapa has been inhabited continuously since the Neolithic Age. Its rich archæological inheritance, its culture, and the genetic makeup of its people reflect several waves of cultures and peoples taking root on the island, including the pre-Aryan Old Levantine indigenes, the Impaxi, and the Goidelic Celts.
Kiravian protectorate (15XX?-Present)
Probably some shit like the local chieftain fell out with whomst'veever the High King of Kistannaeran was and swore fealty to the Marble Emperor instead "lmao how a statue gonna tax my ass bottom text".
Governance
Pretty standard British-style protectorate arrangement. Islanders not automatically Kiravian citizens, but rather carry Kiravian passports as "Kiravian-Protected Persons", though about 40% of islanders have acquired Kiravian nationality.
Basically a clan tanistry system pressed into the mould of a semi-presidential republic, with the Chief (Taoiseach) fulfilling the role of president and the Tánaiste that of Prime Minister. The legislative body is the Council, and the constituencies are hereditary Septs + two seats reserved for Outlanders.
Legal system is an idiosyncratic mix of Brehon law, feudal stuff, and Coscivian law.
Society & Culture
Economy
Not much, really. Pretty much just sheep raising, handicrafts, subsistence farming, fishing, some tourism.
