'''The Islands''' is a term referring to the region of [[Urcea]] including the provinces of [[North Crotona]], [[South Crotona]], [[Tromarine]], and [[Halfway]]. 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 [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]], [[Latinic people|Latinic]] backgrounds though significantly impacted by the influence of [[Audonia|Audonian]] civilization. | '''The Islands''' is a term referring to the region of [[Urcea]] including the provinces of [[North Crotona]], [[South Crotona]], [[Tromarine]], and [[Halfway]].

The Islands are occasionally contested 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. | ||
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. | |||
The Islands are commonly known for their ancient cities, some of whom were the first colonies of [[Adonerum]] and were important cities in early [[Great Levantia]]. | |||

Between [[1782]] and [[1943]], [[Caphiria]] claimed all of the islands as "natural parts of Caphiria as insular regions of [[Sarpedon]]". Their claim was abandoned as part of the [[Treaty of Kartika]]. | |||
