Haujão (Hajanese:号角; lit. 'clarion' or 'horn') is an island territory of Cartadania located in the far eastern Levantine Ocean, roughly equidistant between northern Alshar and the Arctic. A Sui generis territory, Haujão has been a de facto self-governing unit of the republic since 1901 and de jure since 1989, when it was redesignated from Territory of First Class to Sui Generis Territory by the 186th National Congress. Altair, the capital and largest city of Haujão, is located on the island's southern coast in the inlet of Altair Bay. Over eighty percent of the territorial population lives within the city boundary, while the remaining live in spread out towns across the island.
Haujão was first settled by the union in the late 17th century, discovered during an offshoot of sailors attempting to reach southeastern Alshar, intead landing on an island of northern Alshar. Altair, as it stood at the time, was created as a point of interest and the island was leased Cartadania as a trading post by Huoxia in 1682. Cartadania paid an annual rent and administered the territory under Dynastic Huoxian sovereignty until 1895. Cartadania gained perpetual colonial rights in the Luso-Huoxian Treaty of Nuran in 1901. In 1906, Cartadania ascended Altair to Territory of First Class, though the reason behind this ascension still appears to be obscure, even in the 21st century. Many historians cite the desire to exploit Haujão, as well as northern Alshar, for resources and as a precursor, Congress needed to establish a 'clear and distinct' foothold and presence on the island. In 1989, however, following the tumultuous events of the Great Wars, Cartadania redesignated the island as a Sui Generis Territory, the only such in the union, giving it an expanded autonomy when compared to more metropolitan proximal territories.
Today, Haujão has a large military presence, as well as a number of research stations, in part due to its proximity to the Boreal Circle. Its economy is mostly based on tourism and services, its population of just over 90,000 depending heavily on the those industries to maintain the islands status quo.
