Chaukhira has a {{wpl|Tropical rainforest climate}} climate zone with significant rainfall even in its driest months. The climate is hot and humid with a lot of rainfall throughout the year. The annual average temperature is around 27.3 °C (81.1 °F). Except for precipitation and monsoonal wind direction, Chaukhira experiences no other seasonal change throughout the year. The average rainfall annually is 2,623 millimeters or 103 inches. During its wettest months, the provinces lowlands are frequently inundated by torrential rains. However, in its driest months, many regional peatlands dry out, making them more vulnerable to wildfires, and causing prolonged haze in the direr months. | Chaukhira has a {{wpl|Tropical rainforest climate}} climate zone with significant rainfall even in its driest months.

Many of the characteristic [[Audonia]]n species—large mammals such as the {{wp|elephant}}, {{wp|rhinoceros}}, {{wp|giraffe}}, {{wp|zebra}}, and {{wp|antelope}} and predators such as {{wp|lions}} and {{wp|leopards}}—do not exist on Chaukhira. In addition, the island has been spared the great variety of venomous snakes indigenous to the [[Audonia]]n continent. Although it is assumed that most life forms on the island had an [[Audonia]]n origin, isolation has allowed old species—elsewhere extinct—to survive and new species unique to the island to evolve. Thus, a great number of plant, insect, reptile, and fish species are endemic to Chaukhira, and all indigenous land mammal species—66 in all—are unique to the island. | |||
Chaukhira was once covered almost completely by forests, but slash and burn practices for dry rice and rubber cultivation, Secondary growth, which has replaced the original forest and consists to a large extent of {{wp|traveller's trees}}, {{wp|raffia palm}}, and {{wp|baobabs}}, is found in many places. The country has some 900 species of {{wp|orchid}}. {{wp|Bananas}}, {{wp|mangoes}}, {{wp|coconut}}, {{wp|vanilla}}, and other tropical plants grow throughout. | |||

==Politics== | ====[[Second Great War]]==== | ||
During the [[Second Great War]] ([[1934]] to [[1943]]), Chaukhira was the site of a number of operations initiated by both [[Burgundie]] and [[Caphiria]] through its proxy [[Zaclaria]]. In [[1937]], [[Zaclaria]]n forces invaded the Chaukhiroise island of Taoulga which they were able to hold for the duration of the war. | |||
==Politics and government== | |||
Chaukhira is part of the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s [[Geography_of_Burgundie#Audonio-Alshari_Burgundie|Audonio-Alshari Burgundie]] geographic designation. [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]] is a constituent country equivalent of [[Burgundie]] with its own assembly, prime minister, budget, and laws. [[Burgundie]]'s national governmental influence is limited to subsidies, education, and security, however, its financial and cultural institutes cast a long shadow across Sudmoll. | Chaukhira is part of the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s [[Geography_of_Burgundie#Audonio-Alshari_Burgundie|Audonio-Alshari Burgundie]] geographic designation.

[[Burgundie]]'s national governmental influence is limited to subsidies, education, and security, however, its financial and cultural institutes cast a long shadow across Sudmoll. | ||
Chaukhira is a province within [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]] with its own semi-elected {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}}, representative legislative body, and court system. | Chaukhira is a province within [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]] with its own semi-elected {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}}, representative legislative body, and court system. | ||
Chaukhiroise are Burgoigniacs/Burgoignix with complete civil and economic rights, and citizenship (political rights) under the same federal service criteria as all residents of [[Burgundie]].

However, there was a time during the 1960s and 1970s when children were forbidden to speak {{wpl|Arabic}} in schools. {{wpl|Arabic}} is now taught in schools; it is sometimes even a requirement for employment. | ||

Like the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Legislative_Branch|Citizens Court of the National Assembly (Burg. La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional, ACAN)]], The Chaukhiroise Citizen's Court of the Provincial Assembly is a unicameral legislator. It makes provincial law, has the power of the provincial purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the provincial government. The Assembly has three seats for each province, one for the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s Chaukhira liaison, 3 for the clergy, 3 seats reserved for municipal leaders, and 3 for a rota of private business leaders. On 6 occasions throughout the year 3 more seats are opened to the public to debate topics that are not on the annual legislative agenda. | Like the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Legislative_Branch|Citizens Court of the National Assembly (Burg.

Since [[2003]], the drug trade, especially the opium trade has become a major issue in Chaukhira when the [[Alainfisal#Drug_trade|Alainfisali Kishahurav network]] expanded onto the islands. The [[Revenue_Guard#Organization|Revenue Guard's Grand Station of the Orient]] has increased patrols, monitoring, and personnel on the islands. The issue has also sparked a public health emergency which was called into effect in [[2004]] and remains in effect today. | |||

The islands of Chaukhira are home to a myriad of small [[Navy of Burgundie|naval]] and [[Revenue Guard]] stations, and airstrips. While Chaukhira is a key component of [[La Garrote]] it became effectively cut off from the maritime world when the [[1982]] [[LON]] {{wpl|Law of the Sea}} passed the Economic Exclusion Zone provision, essentially codifying that marine traffic to and from Chaukhira must pass through the waters of other nations. Since that time there have been no instances of a restriction of the [[Freedom of the seas]] in the [[Aab-e-Farus]] or the al-Zelaq Straits, but the [[Navy of Burgundie#Grand Eastern Command|Navy of Burgundie's Grand Eastern Command]] is postured for a break out of Chaukhira in the event of war. As such the largest naval base on the islands is primarily used as a transit port and not a permanent station for any of the commands largest and most valuable ships. It has no large scale drydock facilities and berthed ships are never allowed to fully turn off their engines and systems. As such, it is one of the most hated billets or transit points for sailors because liberty is always limited on scope and duration. | |||
