'''Zhijun''' (Daxian: ''知君省''), officially the '''Zhijun Special Federal District''', is a territory of the [[Republic of Daxia]] in [[Australis]] consisting of two islands off the northern coast of the [[Peratra]] region. The main island is named Zhijun while the smaller of the two is named Tang. Colonized in the 1680's by the [[Daxia]]n Qian dynasty, the islands were extensively populated by transplanted colonists. It grew in importance as a base of operations for the [[South Seas Development Company|South Seas Trading Company]] and a trading outpost with the native tribes of [[Peratra]], and later would be used as a staging point for a conquest of said tribals and as the foremost base of [[Daxia]]n power projection in the western [[Ocean of Cathay]]. In the modern day it is a center of sugar production and a regional tourist hub especially for gambling related activities for which there is an especially favorable fiscal regime in place. It is home to the Daxian Navy's Australis Squadron which operates in the area in anti-piracy and anti-smuggling operations.
