The name "Jusonia Islands" finds its roots in ancient Loa language, where "Huson" translates to "East." This linguistic origin pays homage to the geographical location of the islands, situated to the east of the Kindred Sea. The designation "Jusonia" reflects not only the islands' directional orientation but also embodies their historical and cultural significance within Pelaxian heritage. | The name "Jusonia Islands" finds its roots in ancient [[Loa language]], where "Huson" translates to "East."

This period of the archipelago is defined for the incapacity of [[Caphiria]] to maintain a direct sea and trade link with the islands, mostly because of the disruption from south kosali tribes and civil unrest in the valley. | ||
By the 1100s most of the settlements would fall under the administration of the Duchy of Albalitor. This administration would be cut short by the invasion of the Savrian kings from mainland Pelaxia as they had started expanding all over southern Pelaxia. It was in this period that the capital of Jusonia Mayor would be consolidated. By the 1200s the islands would start to suffer from chronic raids carried by Loa people who had established a foothold well into the Kindred Sea. | By the 1100s most of the settlements would fall under the administration of the Duchy of [[Albalitor]].

The War of the Tides, spanning from 1330 to 1350, stands as a significant chapter in the history of the Kindred Sea. This conflict primarily revolved around the strategic control of the waterways governing access to and from the sea. The principal instigator, the Duchy of Albalitor, sought to secure vital maritime routes in service of the Despote of Cognata, seated in Albalitor. The despotate aimed to attain greater autonomy in managing trade, diminishing reliance on the Caphiravian Republic. | The War of the Tides, spanning from 1330 to 1350, stands as a significant chapter in the history of the Kindred Sea.

The Jusonian Islands, located right off the Pelaxian coast and in the easter corner of the Catenia insular region, have long been a melting pot of diverse cultures, ethnicities, and migration patterns. From the indigenous ethnic Loa communities to the influx of Pelaxian explorers since the 1100s, the demographic composition of the Jusonian Islands reflects a “point of frontier” where Vallosi culture and people meet the latin sarpedonic civilizations. | The Jusonian Islands, located right off the Pelaxian coast and in the easter corner of the Catenia insular region, have long been a melting pot of diverse cultures, ethnicities, and migration patterns.

The Jusonian Islands are home to various ethnic Loa communities, who have inhabited the islands for centuries. The Loa people, practitioners of the Loa religion and culture, have a distinct identity characterized by their spiritual beliefs, customs, and traditions. They have lived in harmony with nature, preserving their ancestral lands and passing down their cultural heritage from generation to generation. They attest for 40% of the ethnic makeup of the population currently living in the islands. The Loa community has been historically divided by two religious branches: the Loa Traditional and the Loa Catholic. The demographic composition of islands has been shaped by consistent migratory movements, particularly among ethnic Loa communities and Pelaxian nationals. The migration patterns have been influenced by various factors, including economic opportunities, political instability, and cultural exchanges. The ethnic Loa communities have historically engaged in transitory migrations, moving between different islands within the Jusonian archipelago in search of fertile lands,chiefdom expansion, resources, and spiritual connections. | The Jusonian Islands are home to various ethnic Loa communities, who have inhabited the islands for centuries.

Since the 1100s, the Jusonian Islands have witnessed the gradual settlement of ethnic Pelaxians, primarily from the Duchy of Albalitor and the Savrian Kingdom. The Pelaxians established coastal settlements and trading outposts across islands, contributing to the economic and cultural development of the region. These settlements brought new technologies, fauna, agricultural practices, and trade networks to the region, facilitating economic growth and cultural exchange especially around the highest point of expansion during the Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth and the Southern Route to Audonia. During this period the islands became a key strategic hub for ships that brought products from Vallos and Audonia as well as slave labor from Daxia. Daxian slaves also played a crucial role in shaping the cultural landscape of the islands, infusing elements of Daxian language, music, cuisine, and religious beliefs into the local communities, thus becoming 12% of the island’s demographic makeup. | Since the 1100s, the Jusonian Islands have witnessed the gradual settlement of ethnic Pelaxians, primarily from the Duchy of Albalitor and the Savrian Kingdom.

Surrounded by waters, the country has abundant natural deep-sea ports ideal for development as production, construction and repair sites. In the ship repair sector, the PELMAR complex in Jusonia Mayor is expected to accommodate 96 vessels for repair. Shipbuilding is part of Pelaxia's maritime heritage,employing over 600,000 people and contributing almost 15 percent of revenues to the ocean-based industries. | Surrounded by waters, the country has abundant natural deep-sea ports ideal for development as production, construction and repair sites.
