The Anaqua Joint Security Area is a subordinate jurisdiction of Mid-Atrassic Crona. It contains the city of Anaqua, which serves as the Mid-Atrassic capital.
The JSA was established during the Chappaqui War of Independence and the breakup of Nanseetucket when Kiravian and Chappaqui forces occupied the area and set up a military administration. A civil administration for the area was organised in 21207.
Geography
Government
The apex governmental body in the Anaqua JSA is the five-member Joint Control Commission (Lódriārikorkirstuv). Two members are nominated unilaterally by the Governor-General of Mid-Atrassic Crona, two by the Government of Chappaqua, and one agreed to jointly by both governments. The Control Commission internally elects a Managing Commissioner to act as procedural chair and spokesman, and Deputy Managing Commissioner. A Chief Administrative Officer selected by the JCC oversees the day-to-day workings of the government.
The bureaucratic apparatus is staffed by officers of the Cronan Administrative Service.
A civil police force has yet to be established. Policing and public security are the responsibility of the Kiravian Army and Chappaqui People's Liberation Army troops stationed in the JSA.
There are currently no elections or elected institutions in Anaqua, though there are plans to introduce purely consultative municipal boards of selectmen for colonial settlements and area-wide Representative Conference by 21212, with the latter to be upgraded into a Legislative Conference with some political power by 21216.
Legal status
Prior to the proclamation of the General Government of Mid-Atrassic Crona, the Anaqua Joint Security Area functioned as a de facto condominium of the Kiravian Federacy and Chappaqua. Since becoming subsumed into Mid-Atrassic Crona, Anaqua is agreed to have become subordinated to Kiravian paramountcy, though the Chappaqui government continues to enjoy certain rights with regard to the area, including the appointment of Control Commissioners, full economic access, and visa-free travel for Chappaqui nationals.
Demographics
Most of the area covered by the Anaqua JSA was traditionally part of the Shenango tribal homeland. However, during and after the war, large numbers of Shenango people were evacuated to other parts of Mid-Atrassic Crona and have not been returned. Since the establishment of the Joint Security Area, large numbers of Coscivians and Chappaqui have moved into the area as part of the Joint Development Programme. Most of these new arrivals are concentrated in the city of Anaqua, though smaller settlements are being built in other parts of the territory.

Economy
The economy of the Anaqua Area is growing rapidly. Kiravian governmental and military establishments in the area have contributed to a demand for goods, services, and housing, and the area's status as the most politically stable and best-secured part of Mid-Atrassic Crona has made it an important gateway for overseas companies looking to gain a foothold in the markets of Northern Crona as the Deluge opens up new markets on the colonial frontier.
Defence, transportation, construction/land development, government, and agriculture are the leading sectors of the Anaquan economy.
