| '''Kingsport''' ({{wp|Javanese language|Kabuese}}: ''Pulau Hujung'') is an {{wp|British Overseas Territories|Estmerish Overseas Territory}} located in the mid-western [[Vehemens Ocean]]. Geographically, the island is closest to the [[North Kabu|North Kabuese]] island of [[North Kabu|Lembeh]], and is considered part of the wider [[Kabu|Kabuese archipelago]]. The territory contains the island of Kingsport proper, as well as a number of smaller islands and atolls. The territory spans an area of 1,129 km<sup>2</sup>, and is home to a population of 54,581. [[Kingston]] functions as the capital city.
| |
|
| |
| Prior to settlement, a number of {{wp|Austronesian peoples|Sublustrian peoples}} had arrived onto the islands intermittently, but there was no attempt to permanently settle. The island was first properly settled in the 1100s, by [[Kabu|Kabuese]] [[Badi]] migrants attempting to escape persecution for their belief in obscure elemental cults. Independent local leaders were subsumed into the growing [[Aguda Empire]] in 1558, and the island became the furthest outpost of the empire.
| |
|
| |
| Admiral [[Henry King]] came across the island in 1710, and organised the leasing of the island from the Agudans in 1713. The Estmerish constructed a major port on the island, which quickly became an important stopping point for ships travelling to between [[Coius]] and the [[Asterias]]. The island was purchased outright in 1778, preceding the Estmerish consolidation of wider Kabu into the [[Colony of the Carolinian Islands]]. As a major port of call, the island was subjected to a small degree of Estmerish {{wp|settler colonialism}}, largely centred in the port city of Kingston. The colony was briefly occupied by [[Functionalist Gaullica|Gaullica]] in the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]].
| |
|
| |
| After the war, rising [[Kabu|Kabuese nationalism]] saw the independence of the wider Carolinian Islands colony. Nationalists pressed for Kingsport to be included in wider Kabu, but pressure from the local Estmerish-speaking population and belief in the importance of the port's location resulted in the island remaining Estmerish. Power was gradually transfered to the islands through devolution beginning in 1986, with eventual statehood seen as an ultimate goal for the islands. The importance of the port has waned over time, but a large [[Estmerish Navy]] presence persists on the island through its naval base.
| |
|
| |
| Modern day Kingsport is largely {{wp|self-government|self-governing}}, with a {{wp|devolution|devolved}} {{wp|Representative democracy|representative democratic}} {{wp|Parliamentary system|parliamentary}} {{wp|Dependent terrtitory|dependency}} under the {{wp|Federation|federal}} {{wp|Republic|constitutional republic}} of Estmere. [[President of Estmere|President]] [[Alice Roberts]] is the official head of state, but is represented on the island by [[High Commissioner of Kingsport|High Commissioner]] [[Joseph Bambang]]. Devolved power is placed in the [[Kingsport Assembly]] and [[Chief Executive of Kingsport|Chief Executive]] [[Adi Harjo]]. Kingsport's modern economy is based primarily on tourism, {{wp|bunkering}} and fishing.
| |
|
| |
| ==Etymology and name==
| |
| The island is, in {{wp|English language|Estmerish}}, named for [[Henry King]], an 18th century Estmerish admiral who organised the lease and later purchase of the island from the [[Aguda Empire]]. The colony established was named ''King's Port'' in his honour, which over time was reduced to the current name. The native {{wp|Javan language|Kabuese}} name for the island is ''Pulau Hujung'', which roughly translates to "island at the end" in reference to the island's position at the periphery of the [[Kabu|Kabuese archipelago]].
| |
|
| |
| The status of the name for the island has been a point of dispute and controversy, both internationally and within the island's local politics. [[South Kabu|South]] and [[North Kabu]] both refer to the island by the name Pulau Hujung in official correspondence. Locally, [[Kabu|Kabuese nationalists]] refuse to use the Estmerish name for the island, and historically {{wp|Unionism|Estmerish unionists}} had refused to use the native name; although this has changed in recent years. The Estmerish federal government recognises the names Kingsport and Pulau Hujung as equally valid names for the territory, and the local government uses both in most official manners.

| Kingsport is a {{wp|self-government|self-governing}} {{wp|Dependent terrtitory|dependency}}, with power {{wp|devolved}} to the territory from the Estmerish federal government. Kingsport is therefore a {{wp|Representative democracy|representative democracy}} with a {{wp|Parliamentary system|parliamentary system}}, operating under a {{wp|Federation|federal}} {{wp|Republic|constitutional republic}}.
| |
|
| |
| The [[President of Estmere]] is the official {{wp|head of state}}, but is represented in the territory by the [[High Commissioner of Kingsport|High Commissioner]], who carries out most of the legal and ceremonial functions of the presidency. [[Joseph Bambang]], a prominent Kingsportian businessman, has been High Commissioner since 2012.
| |
|
| |
| Real devolved power lays with the elected [[Kingsport Assembly]], formerly known as the Kingsport Territorial Council. The 55 elected members of the Assembly have the sole ability to draft, suggest and pass local legislation, and the {{wp|head of government}} is a member of the Assembly; the [[Chief Executive of Kingsport|Chief Executive]], who heads the executive branch. The Chief Executive is appointed by the High Commissioner on the basis of being able to command a majority in the Assembly. [[Adi Harjo]] has been Chief Executive since 2018, and leads a government comprising the [[Kingsport Socialist Co-operative Party|KSCP]], the [[Kingsport Alliance for Change|KAC]] and [[The Kingsport Alternative|TKA]].

| [[Badi]] has been the dominant religion in Kingsport since its introduction by the Kabuese in the 1100s. The style of Badi practiced was predominantly heterodox until the arrival of the [[Aguda Empire]] in 1558, wherein the form of Badi became far more orthodox. [[Sotirianity]] was primarily introduced to the islands under Estmerish rule, with the state-sponsored [[Embrian Communion]] making its presence known on the island through conversion efforts.
| |
|
| |
| According to the 2015 census, 60.4% of the population identify as Badist, and 25.3% identify as Sotirian. While the Embrian Communion is the largest Sotirian denominiation, there is also a notable [[Solarian Catholic Church|Solarian Catholic]], [[Sotirianity|Church of the Orient]] and [[Amendism|non-Embrian Amendist]] presence.
| |
|
| |
| Outside of Sotirianity and Badi, 1.9% of the population are [[Irfan|Irfanic]], and 1.7% are [[Tulyata|Tulyatan]]. These people tend to be immigrants from Estmere proper or from other former Estmerish colonies. Just under 1 in 10 of the population consider themselves to be {{wp|Irreligion|Irreligious}}.
| |
|
| |
| Important religious buildings on the island include the [[Kingsport#Religion|Cathedral of Saint Thomas]] and the [[Kingsport#Religion|Temple of Holy Metal]].
