The Pian Islands, also known as the Pians and officially known as the Allied States of the Pian Islands, is an island nation in southwest Nortua. It is in the northeast Samson Ocean and is bordered on the west by the Pian Sea, on the east by the Konkurso Gulf, and separated from Birnir and the disputed Konkurso islands by the Yn Syth. The Pian Islands span an archipelago of 9,525 islands, with the six main islands being Eryri, Erisai, Bannau, Northan, Carraun, and Danna. The capital and largest city is Ocetia (formerly called Hannele-Nastan), with other major cities including Chamart, Loughdalk, Antgem, and Cloppenstedt.
The Pian Islands have been inhabited for tens of thousands of years, with early indigenous populations developing permanent fishing settlements around 800 BC. City states formed across the islands without unification for thousands of years in warring periods known as the Isay Era. In the early 1300s, the Constantio Empire occupied the islands. During the Chezian Wars of Independence, the imperial-appointed governor Guet Hannele followed public opposition to imperial rule and peacefully negotiated the independence of the Pians to avoid bloody revolution. In the years following independence, Hannele and his government solidified military control of the islands and waged genocide against the Uyrtbek population.
In the late 19th and early 20th century, industrialization and mass manufacturing boosted the Pian Islands' economy and it briefly became the center of West Nortuan commerce. Its neutral roles in global affairs, as well as its mediation with the SBU in the wake of the Chezian War (1992-95), allowed it to undergo social reforms and political restructuring which now grant it one of the lowest corruption levels of anywhere in the world. The Pian Islands government claim ownership of the non-self-governing territory of the Konkurso Islands. The Konkurso Conflict, a low-level insurgency between Birnir-backed insurgents and the joint forces of the Pians and Cadair, has existed since 2016. The Pians suffered extensive damage and loss of life due to the Konkurso Gulf earthquake and tsunami in 2023.
Since independence, the Pians have remained relatively stable. The Pians are a federal constitutional republic with an elected parliament. The executive branch is led by the President, currently Jaye Ayette, while legislative power is vested in the two chambers of parliament: the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors. Judicial power rests with the Constitutional Court, which may review the validity of laws, elections, and referendums. The Pian Islands are a developed nation with high standards of living and a stable economy. It is a member of the Coalition of Crown Albatross, the Sotoan Basin Union, and the Coalition Trade Organization.
