Consisting of some of Urcea's most geographically distinct and latest acquired territories, the Islands reflect a diverse array of cultural and historical influences with primarily [[Istroyan people|Istroyan]], [[Latinic people|Latinic]] backgrounds though significantly impacted by the influence of [[Audonia|Audonian]] civilization. The Islands are occasionally claimed to be parts of [[Sarpedon]] along with [[Urlazio]], but a majority consensus of scholars place Tromarine and [[Crotona]] in [[Levantia]] while placing Halfway in Sarpedon. The term the Islands sometimes is expanded to include [[Herciana]], but as an overseas rectory of Urcea and relatively recent addition it is not widely considered part of [[Urcea]] proper; a small minority of cultural observers even include [[Talionia]] within the definition of The Islands, but as it is not part of Urcea it is not usually included. | ||
Within Urcea, the islands were unified as a single entity under the [[Kingdom of Crotona]], which existed as a [[Government_of_Urcea#Crownland|crownland]] of [[Urcea]] from 1660 to 1892. During that time, the three islands became closely associated with one another not only administratively but also culturally and politically. Following the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]], the Islands took their current provincial form. | Within Urcea, the islands were unified as a single entity under the [[Kingdom of Crotona]], which existed as a [[Government_of_Urcea#Crownland|crownland]] of [[Urcea]] from 1660 to 1892.
