The '''Colony of Saxalin''' is a [[Kiravia]]n colony located on an archipelago of three large islands in the [[Absurian Ocean]].
==Geography==
===Wildlife===
==History==
==History==
[History]
The Saxalin Islands have no native population, remaining unpeopled for millennia due to their remoteness and the harsh conditions of the surrounding ocean. They were first settled in 20912 by [[Coscivian civilisation#People|Coscivians]] from [[Kiravia]] and [[Sydona]]. These early Coscivian colonists made their living primarily by fishing, farming, and keeping sheep and goats until serious mineral prospecting and the promise of mineral wealth attracted more emigrants to the remote archipelago.


==Language==
===[[Kiravian Sunderance|Sunderance Era]]===
[Classification]
For the duration of [[Kiravian Union|Kirosocialist rule on the Kiravian mainland]], the Saxalins would remain under the control of the Æonara-based Federalist government. The Kiravian Union had designs on capturing the archipelago by means of a naval assault from Sydona, but these plans never came to fruition, as the government had other priorities, but the threat of invasion was credible enough to force the Federalists to divert a substantial share of resources to provide for the islands' defence. Occasional interdiction of seaborne trade to and from the islands occurred until the stabilisation of relations between the Federalist and Kirosocialist governments in 211YY.
[General characteristics, morphological typology]
[Notable features]


Eshavian Coscivian is one of the most widely-spoken ethnic vernacular languages of Kirav, with a long literary tradition and a well-developed network of Eshavian-medium educational institutions, newspapers, and radio stations. It is an official language of Fariva, Harma, and the Austral and Itapau Islands. However, there are far fewer monolingual speakers of Eshavian Coscivian than of the other vernacular languages of commensurate size, with most Eshavian-speakers outside of the Northeast also speaking in Kiravic. Monolingual Eshavian-speakers are also found in the [[Overseas Regions]].
The Sunderance was a difficult time for the Sakhalin colonists. Although the Federalist government subsidised the colony and its population as heavily as it could reasonably afford to, its resources were limited. Many Sakhalinites emigrated during this time: Some sought better fortunes in the economic hubs of [[Sarolasta]] and [[Æonara]], while others, especially those with backgrounds in the local mining and timbering trades, crossed to the other side of the world for new opportunities in [[Porfíria]] and [[Thýstara]].


==Religion==
===Post-Restoration===
Ruricanism is the traditional faith of the Eshavian people, but since the XYZth century the ethnic group has become increasingly diverse in terms of religion. Among the modern Eshavians there are Archepiscopals, Mercantile Protestants, members of numerous small Eshavian-initiated heterodox Christian sects, Iduans, Komarists, Sarostivists, Unitarians, Universalists, and members of urban {{wp|new religious movements}}. Ethnic Eshavians who adhere to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] are commonly referred to as ''Marþonans'', though this term more properly refers to a specific subgroup of Latin-Rite Catholics Eshavians, most of whom live in close-knit communities in rural Harma and in [[Avenirskara]]. Some Eshavians have adopted Reformed Orthodoxy (Theophilianism). Whatever their creed, however, most Eshavians (especially Eshavian women) maintain some sort of connexion to Ruricanism, whether in substantive syncretism with their professed religion or more through participation in Rurican rites and traditions in a non-defining or merely cultural way.

The Eshavians have a stratified, hierarchical culture that places great importance on notions of social rank, propriety, and protocol.  
==Society & Culture==
The ethnic makeup of the Sakhalins is 91% Coscivian, 6% Celtic, and 3% other (including Sarpic, Skithanawite, Old Sydonan, and Daxian).  


Most Eshavian marriages are endogamous, but patterns of exogamy vary according to social rank and class. Rural Eshavians are the most strictly endogamous segment of the ethnic group, followed by Republican-class Eshavians in metropolitan and micropolitan areas who trace their ancestry to the old yeomanry and lesser nobility of Old Eshav. Eshavians involved in the maritime industry, seaborne commerce, and the navy have traditionally been more open to exogamy, while many aristocratic Eshavian families have intermarried with families of comparably high status from other Coscivian groups. With regard to intra-ethnic marriages, rank, class, and ancestry play a major role in determining whether a pairing is acceptable. Marriages between Eshavians from very different levels of the social hierarchy are strongly discouraged, and families often have strict standards as to which bloodlines are worthy of marrying their sons and daughters. Several services, including both for-profit companies and nonprofit societies, collect information on Eshavian marriage prospects in a particular region, as well as their family histories, and publish this information in annual "marriage almanacs" to help young Eshavians seeking spouses. {{wp|Cousin marriage}} is traditionally accepted among the Eshavians, and in fact preferred among some subgroups.
The largest individual Coscivian subgroups in the Sakhalins are Austral Coscivians from [[Sydona]], Australic Coscivians from [[Koré'hetanùa]], Kandan Coscivians, Eshavian Coscivians, Arnórian and Norborian Coscivians, West Coast Marine Coscivians, Kaltan and Phrydhian Coscivians, and Æonaran Coscivians. Vibrant communities of Sēoran Coscivians (Kāloatem, Vespâniem, Koralem, Ibuskem), Tenebric Coscivians (Iruktem, Kibirskem, Krôysanyem), and Caspoärian Coscivians (Stelanovians, Cervonians), Pineratem, and Túkluskans have settled in previously undeveloped rural areas in the interior of the islands, and in the mining communities.


Although a minority of Eshavians adhere to Sarostivism, Eshavians and Taństans, like the unrelated Lúnstans but unlike most other seafaring Coscivian peoples, have traditionally not observed the Sarostivist-derived taboo against whaling.
==Economy==

The economy of the Saxalin Islands is built atop a strong {{wp|primary sector}}. The two most important components of the primary sector are offshore oil and gas extraction and {{wp|nickel}} mining on [island]. Several other minor mineral deposits are also currently being mined.

A major impediment to the colony's economic further development is its remoteness. Distance from foreign markets acts as a damper on industrial development and export-oriented growth, and high transport costs are passed on to Saxalinite consumers, resulting in a high cost of living. Since the Restoration and the Kiravian economic recovery, prospects have improved thanks to advances in transportation and telecommunications, the reöpening of the mainland Kiravian market to Saxalin commodities, a larger federal aid budget, and the growth of the service sector.


The Eshavians have a strong {{wp|tea culture}} that sets them apart from other Coscivian-Kiravians, who have generally come to prefer coffee since settling in Ixnay and have developed a coffee culture adapted from [[Culture_of_Caphiria#Food_.26_Drugs|the Hekuvian]]. Eshavian tea culture includes several {{wp|tea ceremony|tea-centred rituals}}, a literary canon of {{wp|Tea classics|tea classics}}, and the inclusion of tea consumption into other aspects of life, such as business meetings and hospitality customs. Like other Coscivians, the Eshavians regularly visit the graves of deceased relatives, and have the unique traditions of leaving cups of tea or burning tea leaves as a grave offering.
Tourism is very important industry in the Sakhalins. The islands' stark remoteness and natural beauty draw adventurous travellers from other parts of Kiravia and from abroad. Sakhalin is a major stopping-off point for {{wp|Antarctic cruise|Antarctic cruises}}.  


==Interethnic Relations==
The most profitable agricultural venture in the Sakhalins is the raising of sheep for wool. Hogs, goats, and a small number of Highland Ginger cows are also reared. Crop farming on the islands is limited mostly to staple foods such as potato, cale, barley, and rye, as well as feed crops for livestock.
The Eshavians are closely related to several other Coscivian ethnic groups, including the [[Taństan Coscivians|Taństans]], the Liśkans of Livensóla, Ebondans, and Nūrþans, some of whom share Eshavian Coscivian as their mother tongue; and more distantly to the Erasans, Kagurans, and Ferúlans, with whom they share many cultural similarities.


The people of the Svéaran Peninsula in [[Kaviska|Kaviska State]] are ethnically [[Kir people|Kir]], but have a historical and ancestral relationship with the Eshavians, evident in substantial Eshavian influence on their Kiravic dialect and many other common cultural elements.

Due to the widespread geographic distribution of the Eshavians, historical conflicts between Eshavian and non-Eshavian polities, and Eshavians' socio-economic status as {{wp|middleman minority|middleman minorities}} or {{wp|Market-dominant minority|market-dominant minorities}} in many areas they inhabit, there is a long and continuing history of animosity between Eshavians and various other Coscivian peoples. Emnity is particularly strong between the Eshavians and the [[Ĥeiran Coscivians]] and [[Valosian Coscivians]].

In the multiethnic metropolitan areas of Fariva, such as [[Bérasar]] and [[Norvimur]], members of the many non-Eshavian/Taństan groups that have immigrated to these areas over the centuries have adopted many aspects of Eshavian-derived Farivan regional culture, but nonetheless maintain identities distinct from the dominant urban Eshavian minority. Interethnic tension in these cities is strongly related to perceptions of social class and institutional power differentials.
==Distribution==
Eshavians can be found throughout the Kiravian Federacy. Their traditional homeland is located in the Far Northeastern states of [[Fariva]], [[Harma]], Ostona, Serikorda, and [[Bissáv]]. Areas of newer settlement where Taństans are similarly dominant include Erinava and the Aromatic Isles. Large populations can be found in the [[Kaviska]] (divided between the long-established Green Eshavians and more recent migrants from Andera, termed Blue Eshavians), much of Upper Kirav, [[Venèra]], northeastern [[Kastera]], [[Devahoma]], and Oceantropica.
Important cities outside of the officially Eshavian-speaking states where Eshavians comprise a large percentage of the population include:
*Þanetsar, capital of [[Devahoma]]: 36% Taństan
*Klívhoma, [[Kastera]]: 42% Taństan
*Hilarśad, [[Kaviska]]: 56% Taństan
*Tavroa, [[Venèra]]: 31% Taństan

History

The Saxalin Islands have no native population, remaining unpeopled for millennia due to their remoteness and the harsh conditions of the surrounding ocean. They were first settled in 20912 by Coscivians from Kiravia and Sydona. These early Coscivian colonists made their living primarily by fishing, farming, and keeping sheep and goats until serious mineral prospecting and the promise of mineral wealth attracted more emigrants to the remote archipelago.

Sunderance Era

For the duration of Kirosocialist rule on the Kiravian mainland, the Saxalins would remain under the control of the Æonara-based Federalist government. The Kiravian Union had designs on capturing the archipelago by means of a naval assault from Sydona, but these plans never came to fruition, as the government had other priorities, but the threat of invasion was credible enough to force the Federalists to divert a substantial share of resources to provide for the islands' defence. Occasional interdiction of seaborne trade to and from the islands occurred until the stabilisation of relations between the Federalist and Kirosocialist governments in 211YY.

The Sunderance was a difficult time for the Sakhalin colonists. Although the Federalist government subsidised the colony and its population as heavily as it could reasonably afford to, its resources were limited. Many Sakhalinites emigrated during this time: Some sought better fortunes in the economic hubs of Sarolasta and Æonara, while others, especially those with backgrounds in the local mining and timbering trades, crossed to the other side of the world for new opportunities in Porfíria and Thýstara.

The ethnic makeup of the Sakhalins is 91% Coscivian, 6% Celtic, and 3% other (including Sarpic, Skithanawite, Old Sydonan, and Daxian).

The largest individual Coscivian subgroups in the Sakhalins are Austral Coscivians from Sydona, Australic Coscivians from Koré'hetanùa, Kandan Coscivians, Eshavian Coscivians, Arnórian and Norborian Coscivians, West Coast Marine Coscivians, Kaltan and Phrydhian Coscivians, and Æonaran Coscivians.

The economy of the Saxalin Islands is built atop a strong primary sector. The two most important components of the primary sector are offshore oil and gas extraction and nickel mining on [island]. Several other minor mineral deposits are also currently being mined.

A major impediment to the colony's economic further development is its remoteness.
