The Commonwealth of Mihi Mai Ra (To Tatou Reo: Tā te Nuinga i Whakatau ai o Mihi Mai Rā, Vakaro: Vuqa na Mani Nanuma ni Miji Mai Rau, Gaullican: Communauté de Mihi Maï Ra), sometimes referred to as the Coconut or Palm Islands, is a small sovereign island nation situated in the Sublustrian sea north of Valentir. Mihi Mai Ra comprises three island archipelagos: Karawaha, Savo and Turu. Mihite Society originates from the Araterans who settled the Karwaha and Turu archipelagos with influences from Gaullican, Estmerish and Vakacegun cultures.It is one of the most geographically isolated countries in kylaris. This geographic isolation has allowed the growth and development of an extremely varied and rich endemic flora and fauna from giant Kauri to the Weta insects as well as the Kaponga and Kiwi with these latter two being national symbols of Mihi Mai Ra.
Mihi Mai Ra was one of the last places discovered by man, the Karwaha was discovered by the Araterans between 1000 and 1200. The Turu archipelago was discovered even later in the 1400s. Population growth led many Araterans to leave Karawaha for Valentir in the 1200s and later for Turu in the 1400s. In 1629 the Karwaha islands were spotted by Gaullican explorers which led to the introduction of Gaullican settlers into Mihi Mai Ra. Gaullican hegemony over the area was established in the late 17th century. Estmere opposed Gaullican hegemony and supported the Template:Maori People groups which led to the creation of the Rangatiratanga Mihi Nui in Karawaha in 1732. Throughout the 1800s, Estmerish influence grew alongside the westernization of the Araterans in the Rangatiratanga Mihi Nui. Following Valentirian calls for federation, the Euclean minority overthrew the Kahimeka dynasty and established the Dominion of the Coconut Islands. In 1942, the Wahakahokia was enacted resulting in the independence of Mihi Mai Ra.
Today Mihi Mai Ra is a developed country which has one of the highest GDPs per Capita in Kylaris and ranks highly in the Human Development Index. It is a top competitor in international metrics of national performance such as quality of life, civil liberties, health, education and economic opportunity and freedom. Economically Mihi Mai Ra relies on the service sector and is a proponent of free-trade. Highest political authority resides in the democratically elected unicameral Kohikohi which is led by Te Tumuaki o Te Kawanatanga Maoe III, while its head of state is Pirima Alain A. D'Isisgny. Mihi Mai Ra is considered a minor power.
Etymology
The Name 'Mihi Mai Ra' was adopted during the Wahakahokia to reflect democratic values in the movement. It combines the Arateran word Mihi (to repent, repentant) with the two Vakacegun words of Mai (from) and Ra (they). When combined with the classification 'Tā te Nuinga i Whakatau ai meaning' which roughly means most decide, Tā te Nuinga i Whakatau ai o Mihi Mai Ra means the most Mihi, they decide.
Geography
Mihi Mai Ra is formed from the three island archipelagos of Karawaha, Turu and Savo. The most dominant climate type is the Tropical Rainforest Climate which is present in every archipelago except Savo. The most dominant cliamate type in Savo is the Oceanic Climate which is also found on the largest Karawaha island of Iwikoa.
Mihi Mai Ra has a dry season and a wet season as opposed to four different seasons. Global Warming has led to the increase of the sea level in Kylaris which is threatening much of the indigenous flora and fauna of Mihi Mai Ra.
Around 70% of the flora in Mihi Mai Ra is endemic and unique to Sublustria and includes some of the world's oldest plants. Excluding the Sublustrian Fur Seal and two species of bats, Mihi Mai Ra has no indigenous land mammals. Mihi Mai Ra has a great diversity of avian creatures with over 200 species of birds situated in its land area the most known of which is the Kiwi
History
Precolonial Era
The three archipelagos of Mihi Mai Ra were settled relatively late betwene the 9th and 11th centuries by the Arateran and Vakacegun peoples who were sea farers arriving with waka (canoes). Early Mihi Mai Ra society was scattered with most political power and authority being held by local village Chieftains called Rangatira. The early Araterans lived in villages called Kainga in migrating communities called hapu. Kainga were non-permanent settlements built next to garden plots that were left to fallow for several decades after two to three years of use.
In Arateran society, one could not own land instead each hapu had rights to travel through and use certain lands which overlapped and entwined with the rights of other hapu which was a major source of conflict. Resettling and even moving to entirely new lands was a part of everyday life which could've been done for several reasons such as defeat in battle or population increase. Conflicts between hapu were common which led to the creation of a distinct warrior culture in Karawaha. In the early 12th century many Araterans began migrating to Valentir as a result of large population increases in Karawaha. With many hapu having left Karawaha in the early 12th century, a great cultural shift happened where hapu began to become larger and as a result, fighting became less common between the Araterans in Karawaha.
Arrival of the Eucleans
In 1629, the first Gaullican explorers made contact with the Arateran populace of Karawaha, however settlement of any significant size only began in 1638 with the establishment of the Colony of Trois-Épées. Initial contact between the indigenous peoples of Mihi Mai Ra and the Euclean settlers led to the spread of disease for which the Araterans, Vakacegun and Au Ra'e were not immune to. Diseases such as Measels, Mumps and Smallpox were common and reduced the population of Mihi Mai Ra by 60% between 1630 and 1660. Due to the shrunken population of Mihi Mai Ra, many vacant lands were settled by Eucleans.
