Truk or the Truk islands (Daxian:椰子岛) is a territory of the Republic of Daxia consisting of an archipelago with six islands. The islands are Iman, Hutau, Sinta, Chunma, Anako and Parapo. The archipelago is located on the eastern end of the Polynesian Sea far to the southwest of Vallos. The islands saw the rise of the independent muslim Emirate of Truk in the 13th century before its conquest 400 years later by Daxia during the capture of Truk. Today the islands are an important waystation for oceanic trade between eastern Audonia and Sarpedon and Vallos and also a tourist destination for visitors from mainland Daxia. The local economy is mostly dependent on tourism, commercial fishing and ship insurance services; the traditional saltpeter industry mostly drying up in the 19th century due to failing mines. Truk has long had an autonomous government, which has contributed greatly to social and political stability and also the thriving of political Islam on the island. The island is currently governed by the People's Justice Party with the PCD as junior coalition partner.
History
The archipelago is believed to have been settled by Polynesian peoples since at least 600 BCE, with cave pictograms and tool remnants being recovered pointing to that period. The ancestors of the people of Truk might have been stragglers left behind from those that went to Vallos or simply a community that ssaw the islands as fit to settle on.
