Thubani is an island in the Rosario Sea.
Etymology
- Name comes from RL Arabic for “large snake” or “python”.
- RL Thuban (Alpha Draconis) was the pole star a few millennia BCE. “Draconis” (in !Latin) is “Zenido” (in Oharic).
- RL Chinese name is “Right Wall of Purple Forbidden Enclosure”, a possible reference to the boundary between the Three Kingdoms and Orioni.
Geography
- What is the capital city?
- Capital can be called Adib (in Oharic), and Youshu (in Ide Jiman).
- Is the climate this far north still warm enough for rubber plantations?
- The island was covered by luscious forests and rolling hills of rich soil. It was known as the best place for farming and raising livestock.
History
- Pre-colonial history. Add Pearl Road stuff.
- Colonial period. In 1499, it was settled by Orioni in a colonial enterprise.
- As the Orinese empire grew, they continued to develop the island. The Orinese built a series of large castle to rule and protect the island. These citadels were huge, fortified, and well guarded.
- The westernmost castle was the home of a governing council and their immediate family members. It was ruled by a viceroy and his family. The viceroy was appointed by the monarch, in exchange for his loyalty and service to the empire and protecting its colony.
- Add colonial period events, rulers, economy.
- Independence.
- In 1969, it became the last Orinese colony to gain its independence. Why?
- Add post-colonial history. Look to Sri Lanka and Taiwan for inspiration.
- San Ba
Politics
- Part of San Ba
- Probably some semi-autonomous rights and privileges.
- Governing system might be similar to how the Orinese ruled, with an appointed viceroy. That would be a governor now, since San Ba is a republic.
Economy
- Add current economic situation, integration with San Ba.
- Mineral products include alabaster, tin, and tungsten.
- Valuable woods such as teak and pine were once produced, but the forests have largely been stripped bare by illegal logging
Culture
- What is the language of San Ba? (San Ban sounds silly, as does Sanbanese)
