The Bicarian Islands are a group of islands in the Kilikas Sea that are Urcean possessions. The islands were previously an insular area of Cartadania.
The island group consists of the islands of Ceniza, Lluvia, Nevada, and Niebla. The total land area of the territory is 12,716 square kilometres (4,909.68 sq mi). The territory's capital is Nevada on the identically named island.
In 2010 the population was 1,602,551 of primarily Cartadanian or Gaelic Levantine origin. Tourism is the primary economic activity, although there is a significant rum manufacturing sector. Farming is done on a relatively small scale on Lluvia and Ceniza, although it has seen a slow revival in recent years.
Previously the Gletscher Iselns of Fiannria, they were sold to Cartadania by Fiannria in the Treaty of the Gletscher Islands of 1826. They were classified as an organized, unincorporated Cartadanian territory. The Islas Nubes were organized under the 1966 Nevada Act and have since held five constitutional conventions. The last and only proposed Constitution, adopted by the Fifth Constitutional Convention in 2005, was rejected by the Cartadanian National Congress in 2006, which urged the convention to reconvene to address the concerns Congress and the Hernandez Administration had with the proposed document. The convention reconvened in October 2008 to address these concerns, but was not able to produce a revised Constitution before its October 31 deadline. In 2021, the island was transferred from Cartadanian control to Urcea, and the territory became an overseas Rectory of Urcea. In the same year, it was incorporated as part of the Levantine Union.
