'''Truk '''or the '''Truk islands''' (Daxian:''椰子岛'')  is a territory of [[Daxia|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]] and east of [[Rapa Rapa]]. 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|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 (Daxia)|People's Justice Party]] with the [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PCD]] as junior coalition partner.
==History==
===Prehistory===
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 saw the islands as fit to settle on. The name of the pre-islamic civilization of Truk is extrapolated from engravings in pottery as the Karo. Early Karo peoples survived from fishing, gathering mussels on the shore and picking fruit; game was very rare limited only to small birds and rodents. Over time the Karo of Sinta and Anako sailed east and spread to the other islands of the archipelago, such that Karo settlement spanned all of the islands. Discovery of stone foundations and burial sites allow archeologists to estimate the existence of at least sixteen different sites that could have been habitated in this early period.
The emergence of the Melat kingdom on the island of Parapo can be traced back to the second century and lasted into the 9th century, asserting its control over all of Truk as is attested by large stone steles on each island declaring the glories of the rule of King Pokok(believed to have been between the years of 327 to 355). It is under the Melat kingdom that the settlement that became Imarli was founded, it was not however the capital or even an important settlement until after the kingdom had been destroyed. All references of Melat and its kings abruptly stop in the year 907. It is theorized that an invasion by other migratory polynesians took place that a the very least demolished the political and societal structures of Melat. The invaders did no reestablish any political structure of their own, instead plunging the islands back into basic tribalism. Fragments of oral tradition call the following years as ''the Jaws of Hunger'', a two hundred year period of extreme deprivation and inter-communal violence that also led to technological and societal regression.
Eventually a tribe known as the Bagus that was directly descended from one of the noble families of the Melat era began forming alliances through marriage with other 'originator' tribes. King Eka of the Bagus proclaimed (as attested in clay tablets dated to 1101) anyone descended from the invading tribes as unclean ones, to be killed without exception. Thus the Bagus and allied tribes started a period of great bloodletting, including the ritualistic consumption of their enemies. The shocking violence reasserted the primacy of the older settled tribes over the newer ones but also greatly depopulated Truk. As one of the few settlements in habitable state, Imarli was chosen by the Bagus to serve as their new capital.
===Emirate of Truk===
====Arrival of Islam====
[[File:Codice_Casanatense_Fartaques.jpg|thumb|A painting of the fifth Emir of Truk, Selim II and his wife Radwa]]
In the year 1251 an Islamic mystic by the name of [[Sayed Ali Qumi]] arrived by accident on the islands with a few companions after being shipwrecked in a storm. Qumi proceeded to successfully spread Islam to the people of Imarli by recounting the martial prowess of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Oduniyyad]] caliphs As the people of Truk did not have alcohol or pigs, forbbiding their consumption was not an obstacle to conversion. The King of Truk of the day adopted the islamic first name of Akhmat Bagusid to signal his new piety and began to style himself as emir, in imitation of Muslim rulers under Oduniyyad suzerainty. Under the Bagusids, the damage done to the islands during the Jaws of Hunger was undone and a prosperous merchantile society was built up as Truk began building bigger ships capable of ocean exploration. Imarli was known during this period as the Jewel under the Sun and the palaces and masjids of the Bagusids were adorned with fine carpets, mother of pearl and exotic woods and silks. Truk's relative geographical isolation in this early period allowed it to expand at its leisure to nearby islands such as [[Rapa Rapa]], taken under the Emir's protection in 1265. Traditional notions of clan loyalty and kingly veneration were useful tools in the consolidation of the Bagusids and their power; internal upheavals were a rare thing and existential crises only came with the arrival of foreign vessels on the [[Polynesian Sea]].
====Marwanid Fitna====
Succession among the Bagusids had adapted to the islamic norm of a ruler being succeeded by his brothers, not his sons. The fourth emir, Mojtaba, nonetheless groomed his eldest son Selim to succeed him despite having two brothers who would come first in the line of royal succession. Mojtaba's brothers Marwan and Hisham ruled on Hutau and Sinta and had their own bases of power and supporters at court. Selim's coming elevation to crown prince was made more apparent when his name was included next to his father's on friday prayers. On the summer of 1425 Selim was named crown prince and girded with the ceremonial jeweled blade of Qaim to signify his new status. Marwan immediately protested and together with Hisham began to organize a revolt to restore their rights. A mediation effort by the Grand Mufti failed when Mojtaba slapped his Marwan and demanded his brothers they cease their pretentions and give up hostages as guarantee of future good behavior. His enraged brothers produced daggers and stabbed the emir to death before fleeing.

The '''Kiravian Development Executive''', currently operating as the '''Executive for Development & Regional Balance''' ( ''Vekturora Lékréstordh u Rymnivilrēdh'' ) is the [[Executive College|Collegial executive]] responsible for economic development and human development policy in [[Kiravian federalism#Themes|the Federation, South Kirav, and the Melian Isles]]. Its counterpart serving [[Sarolasta]] and [[Kiravian federalism#Themes|the Overseas Regions]] is the [[Overseas Development Executive]]. The Development Executive's work focuses on supporting economic development and social protection in [[Three Kiravs Model|Second and Third Kirav]] with the goal of maintaining national economic cohesion and decentralisation. In Valtanen's typology of Collegiate executives, the Development Executive is a classical "grantmaking" or "management" executive (rather than a "service" or "regulatory" executive), and its primary function is to administer the [[Kiravian Development Executive#Structural Adjustment Fund|Structural Adjustment Fund]].
Initially appearing merely as explorers, in the following decades Levantians, Sarpedonians and Daxians would sail to Truk to peddle their goods, petition the Emirs for transit rights and protection and also at times to deliver threats. To survive, Truk's wily rulers managed to tiptoe around the various powers and avoided committing themselves to any one side for too long, making Truk an important component of the [[The Southern Route|southern route]] and the [[Audonia]]-[[Sarpedon]] trade and taking advantage of the cultural and economic exchanges on offer. Beginning in 1642 Emir Mahmud Tidore II agreed to a loose compact with [[Daxia]] to counter encroachments by the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]]; a possible fatal misstep as the Daxian court saw the agreement as much more binding and formal than the Bagusids ever did. Mahmud allowed the Daxians to build a fort on the island of Anako; the emirate's forces also received some shipments of weapons such as muskets to increase their battle worthiness. In return for their protection, Mahmud sold them pearls, saltpeter, sago(a type of starch used for bread) and cassava at greatly discounted rates In time the Daxians would also station a permanent representative on to the Bagusid court to oversee relations with the emirate and steer its policies to a pro-Daxian stance. Emir Mahmud's foreign policy caused a split with his son and heir, Prince Akhmat, and when the emir got sick in 1674 his son took the opportunity to launch a palace coup and usurp his father's place.  


==History==
What followed the overthrow of Mahmud was an ultimatum to restore his father which was rejected. Afterwards an eight month effort spearheaded by [[Daxia]]'s [[Australis]] governor, Marquis Shenbao to overthrow Akhmat. The climax of the campaign happened at the Battle of the Gates of Imarli where Akhmad's forces were decisively routed and his capital captured. Following the squashing of the remaining insurgents and the death of his only heir, Mahmud willed the Emirate to the Daxian emperor upon his death, which came two years later ending the independence of the islands.
The Development Executive was established in 1992 AD by the [[Index of Kiravian legislation|Reconstruction & Development Act]] as part of the larger diffusion of the [[Kiravian Territorial Executive|Territorial Executive]]. Most of the programmes and agencies assigned to the new Development Executive had been absorbed from the [[Kiravian Union]] after reunification, and most of these would be [[List of Government Agencies Defunct after Kirosocialism|abolished, privatised, or devolved to provincial control]] over the course of the decade as the federal government downsized and its rôle in inland development became more indirect with the establishment of the Structural Adjustment Fund.

==Economy==
[[File:Kumquat_from_Spain.jpg|thumb|Kumquats are grown in Truk all year round]]
Truk's economy is based around fishing, agriculture (mostly spices, cassava, sago and tropical fruits), ship breaking and a small but growing industrial sector producing consumer goods for the internal market. Truk has a sizable fishing fleet and has an agreement with the central government wherein non Truk based fishing vessels that can operate in the archipelago's waters cannot exceed a specific tonnage. Up to 30,000 tons of fish (mainly tuna) are taken yearly from the waters around Truk. Agriculture supports about 30 percent of the population and supplied about 40 percent of exports as of 2025. Two agricultural zones are generally defined: the coastal areas, which range in elevation from sea level to 400 meters and which supports cash crops such as vanilla, kumquats and cloves; and the highlands, which support cultivation of crops for domestic consumption, such as cassava, bananas and sweet potatoes. As the population increased, food grown for domestic use met fewer and fewer of Truk's needs. Data collected by the [[Audonia Development Bank]] showed that food production per capita fell about 12 percent from 1980 to 1987. The island imports virtually all its meat and vegetables; rice imports alone often account for up to 30 percent of the value of all imports.
 
Truk has a strong tourist sector, hundreds of thousands of visitors from the mainland and [[Sarpedon]] flock annually to the island's beaches and densely jungled interior, visit the monumental ruins of the Melat kingdom and admire the eclectic mix of Muslim, polynesian and Daxian architecture. Nonetheless of late the growth of the Islamic Development Party and its anti-alcohol agenda and stances on modest dressing have represented a headache for Truk's hospitality sectors leading to occasional dips in room occupation, especially during election season when the party's rethoric grows fiercer and louder.
==Government and Politics==
[[File:PJP.jpg|thumb|Abdurrahman Mokhtar, Leader of the People's Justice Party and Governor of Truk]]
Truk is unique in [[Daxia]] in that it is governed by an almost fully autonomous administration and legislature. These bodies have complete authority regarding lawmaking, taxation and expenditure; the exception to their powers are the areas of national defense and relations with foreign policy which are handled from [[Mirzak]]. The unicameral, sixty-seat Legislative Diwan is elected once every four years by single non-transferable votes from fixed constituencies. The District Governor is nominated by the largest party (must be a member of the Diwan and is usually the party leader) in the Diwan and must be ratified by a simple majority; he may be unseated by a two thirds majority vote and cannot be recalled by the population. The Daxian government may employ a veto on national security reasons, but it has never been used. The current Governor is Abdurrahman Mokhtar who has held the position uninterrupted since 2020. Currently the government is led by a coalition of the local [[People's Justice Party (Daxia)|People's Justice Party]] and the [[Party of Daxian Democrats]]; together they have thirty nine seats in the Diwan.


==Programmes and Agencies==
Recently an uptick in support for political Islamism has been registered in Truk, especially on the islands of Anako and Hutau. Currently the largest opposition party in the Diwan is the [[Islamic Development Party]], a political movement rooted on turning religious tenets such as sharia law into government policy. The party wants a blanket ban on alcohol, the addition of corporal punishment to the criminal code for a range of offenses, the imposition of fines for missing the call to prayer and in some of its most radical quarters; a ban on education for women. Paradoxically the autonomy of Truk's political system given to it by the [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] has allowed Truk to be the host and sanctuary to minor political parties fiercely opposed to the rulers of the mainland. The Social-Democratic Fatherland Coalition is a small social democratic party with no seats on the Diwan and supported mostly by fugitives and political exiles from the mainland; who remain unmolested while on Truk.
