Before the arrival of Euclean settlers, the islands were home to several native Asterian cultures scattered across the mountainous terrain. The island was discovered during the voyage of the Gaullican explorer Auguste de Antibes, who named it after the Queen of Gaullica, Anne the Financier. It was colonized by Gaullica in 1520, who established a port on the southern coast of the island. Despite the island’s excellent position as a trading hub, the island’s extremely mountainous terrain and relatively poor soil discouraged the large scale production of cash crops. Thus slave plantations were limited and the only notable settlements outside of the port city of Port-de-Paix, were various churches that dedicated to “civilizing” the native population of the islands. Nevertheless the island was home to one of the great ports of the Arucian Strait, which continued for the next several centuries. | Before the arrival of Euclean settlers, the islands were home to several native Asterian cultures scattered across the mountainous terrain.

Carucere (Gaullican: Caruquère, Caruceran Creole: Karukure), formally known as the Republic of Carucere (Gaullican: République d' Caruquère, Caruceran Creole: Repiblik d Karukure), also known as Ile de Reine-Anne (Queen Anne's Island), is a small island nation located in southern Asteria Superior in the Aurucian Strait. It shares maritime borders with Sainte-Chloé to the west, Imagua and the Assimas to the north, and Aucuria to the east and south.
Before the arrival of Euclean settlers, the islands were home to several native Asterian cultures scattered across the mountainous terrain.

Thus slave plantations were limited and the only notable settlements outside of the port city of Port-de-Paix, were various churches that dedicated to “civilizing” the native population of the islands. Nevertheless the island was home to one of the great ports of the Arucian Strait, which continued for the next several centuries.
The island became a major hub of pirate activity during the Golden Age of Piracy from the late 17th century to the early 18th century.
