Krasoa Islands: Difference between revisions

The '''Krasoa Islands''' are an [[Overseas Regions|overseas region]] of the [[Kiravian Federacy]] located in [[Catenias]].

A theory attributing the name to a [[Tryhstian Littoral|Tryhstian]] navigator named Fernão Crassoa gained currency during the 21010s and was commonly printed in reference works and local school textbooks until around 21194, when an exhaustive study by an élite team of historians failed to find written records of anyone by that surname dating from before the word was in use as a name for the islands. Nonetheless, a statue of Fernão Crassoa (modelled on an unknown subject) still stands in front of the Colonial Stanora building, and many parks, squares, and schools in the colonies  are named in honour of the spurious Crassoa. However, some families with ties to the islands do bear the surname Crassoa, as for many decades it was bestowed on children of unknown parentage raised in state-run orphanages.

The Krasoan provinces encompass the entirety of Big Krasoa Island and nearby Island №3, which lays across Katumba Bay; as well as the entirety of Island №5 and part of the island of Saint Martin, which is divided between the Colony of Nív-Martain and the Burgundine colony of [[Port de Vent]]. Krasoan control of these areas further extends to a number of smaller offshore islets and small remote islands.

The climate of the Krasoa Islands is humid and oceanic throughout, with thermotypes ranging from supratropical in Nív-Martain, to infratemperate, to thermotemperate in South Krasoa and various highland pockets on Big Krasoa Island and Island №5. Seasonal variation in the subtropical areas of Krasoa is mild, but follows southern hemispheric patterns.
