The Golden Isles is an a group of islands in the Western Arucian Sea. The archipelago lies in the middle of the sea in a cluster between the southern coast of Asteria Superior and the northern coast of Asteria Inferior. The islands are largely volcanic formed by a significant cluster of hotspots and tectonic activity. The islands vary significantly in size from small islets, reefs, and cays to large islands. Together, the Golden Isles and the Emerald Isles make up the Arucian.
One of the earliest regions first explored and discovered by the Euclean states, the islands were settled by many different colonial powers. Nevertheless due to their proximity, they share a common historical, cultural, and political heritage. Today the islands consists of four independent countries and 3 dependencies.
