The '''Sydona Islands''', officially the '''Coscivian People's Republic of Sydona''', is a state of the [[Kiravian Federacy]] comprising a roughly triangular archipelago of {{wp|continental island|continental islands}} off the southern coast of [[Ixnay (continent)|Ixnay]] in the [[Pelian Sea]]. The islands have a long and convoluted history, having come under the rule of many different nations and empires over the course of the centuries. The islands were heavily settled by Coscivians and Pelians concurrently with the Coscivian colonisation of [[Great Kirav]], giving rise to the [[Deep South Coscivians|Deep South Coscivian]] people that account for a majority of the state's population today.

==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The name ''Sydona'' is a contraction of a twenty-two syllable Ancient Coscivian compound word meaning "the land where beer does flow and men chunder". This is understood to refer to the wild drinking parties among celebrating Coscivian sailors after completing the long and arduous sea voyage to Sydona.

At the time of their discovery, the Sydona Islands were inhabited by a people or group of closely-related peoples called the ''Whateveriotes'' or "Eteosydonans".
At the time of their discovery, the Sydona Islands were inhabited by a people or group of closely-related peoples called the ''Whateveriotes'' or "Eteosydonans".
<strike>Coscivian exploration and settlement of Ixnay, which began around 20212, or the turn of the second millennium ''anno Domini'', did not stop at Great Kirav, [[Koskenkorva]], and [[Wintergen]]. Coscivian mariners pressed westward toward to Crona, where they established settlements in what is now [[Amerigo]], [[Regions_of_Cronzcovina|Suderavia]], and [[Æonara]], southward into the Odoneru, and southeast as they charted the eastern coastline of [[Levantia]], down to Kedrya in the [[Melian Isles]].
Coscivians first visited the Sydonas in 20282, when the caravel<sup>?</sup> ''Snékár Ilunabarsk'' under the command of Kavakón Varrada sighted the island of St. Xavier (though the name they gave it was ''Nív-////'', after a local saint from Lusēdan Province, Éorsa). Eager to replenish their supplies, they went ashore, and encountered the natives. The Eteosydonans were no stranger to the occasional visiting outlander, and provided Varrada's men with important information about the area. Learning that there were several other islands in the archipelago, Varrada located and circumnavigated all of them before moving westward and discovering the Raladur Peninsula and the [[Salesian Isles]]. Before embarking on their return voyage, the crew of the ''Snékár Ilunabarsk'' wintered ashore on the island that was later named for their captain, near the present-day town of Óstaldan.

First permanent settlement - 20325
All islands have Coscivians by 20370
Maybe some stuff about the Coscivian Empire's government structure for the islands

Over the following centuries, many more Coscivian farmers, fishermen, and merchants arrived in the archipelago. In fact, for many decades, Sydona was a much more attractive destination for Coscivian colonists due to its much milder climate and its safety from the [[Cromwelute Wars|Cromwelute depredations]]. In [YEAR], Lord Astorin, Governor of the Kiygrava Watershed, lamented that "while my predecessors had consistently reported to the Stanora and His Supremacy the Emperor that the Watershed of this Province was filling rapidly with new Homesteads, I have estimated that during my tenure, of the Passengers on the average Ship making Port in the [[Valēka|Isles of Valēkas]], but one-fifth have remained in this Province, while a second fifth have made for [[Niyasca|Niyaska]] or ventured out into the Interior, the remainder having sailed onward to the Austral Isles." While the early Coscivian settlers in North Ixnay were came primarily from the coastal fringes of Western Éorsa on the Aquaric Ocean, those who settled in the Sydonas came from a wider range of geographic and ethnic origins. Especially prominent among them were the X, Y, and Z.</strike>

The Coscivian People's Republic of Sydona is a constitutional republic. The unicameral legislature, the People's Assembly, is elected triennially by {{wp|alternative vote}} from constituencies subject to adjustment every ten years. Sydona's relationship to the Federal government and its level of autonomy therefrom are equivalent to that of a Kiravian mainland state. Sydona has full control over its own budget and elects its own Chief Executive without the need for Federal confirmation. The Chief Executive is elected every four years by alternative vote.

Sydona returns three members to the [[Federal Stanora]] by statewide {{wp|single transferable vote}}, and one member to the [[Council of States]] elected by the Coscivian People's Assembly.
Sydona returns six members to the [[Federal Stanora]] by statewide {{wp|single transferable vote}}, and one member to the [[Council of States]] elected by the Coscivian People's Assembly.


Sydona has a multiparty political landscape. Currently, the largest single party in the People's Assembly is the Convergence and Union Party (affiliated with the [[Shaftonist-Republican Alliance]]), which draws support mainly from the urban Austral Coscivian middle classes, Mainlanders, and other Coscivian and Christian minority groups. The CUP supports market-driven economic development, maintaining a high level of integration with the rest of the Kiravian Federacy, and an inclusive, moderate conception of the state's identity that shies away from Austral Coscivian ethnonationalism. The Kirosocialist National Ba'ath Party (affiliated with the [[New Deal Alliance]]), is the oldest party in the state, and is supported most strongly by the urban working classes, Coscivian Sunnis, and Arabs. The KNBP is one of the most influential Kirosocialist parties remaining relevant since the National Renewal, and also one of the most hardline. It favours state-led economic development and a more authoritarian approach to governance, though in recent years its main rallying points have been increasing income equality, strengthening labour unions, and rejecting closer integration with the rest of the Federacy under capitalist rule, in favour of greater autonomy for Sydona and a degree of protectionism for the islands' economy. The third major political grouping in Sydona is the Seven Sons of Father Abraham, an alliance between the Christian People's Party, the Autonomous Popular Party, and five smaller parties making up the Islamic-Democratic List. Inspired by {{wp|Christian democracy|Christian-}} and {{Islamic democracy|Islamic-democratic}} thought, the SSFA promote a {{wp|social market economy}} and social conservatism. In contrast to the Islamic-Democratic List, the Islamic Da'wah Party (affiliated with the [[Caucus of Justice]]) calls for a more exacting and comprehensively Islamic reform of society grounded in Shi'i clericalism.

===Defence Forces===
Like other Kiravian states, Sydona is entitled to maintain its own local defence forces. The Coscivian People's Army is responsible for air and land defence, and the Coscivian People's Navy functions as the islands' {{wp|coast guard}}, discharging roughly the same responsibilities in Sydonan waters as the [[Kiravian Littoral Force|Littoral Force]] does in the Home Islands.
