Côte des Saints is an island nation in the East Arucian, it shared maritime borders with Île d'Émeraude and the Gaullican overseas territory Îles des Saints. Its capital and largest city is Providence, located in the island's central valley.
The island has been inhabited by indigenous peoples and islanders for several years before the Euclean discovery and colonisation. During its colonial period, the island was a provice of the Viceroyalty of the New Aurean; however, its distance from the Golden Isles on the West Arucian, and its position near the much larger and rich neighbour Île d'Émeraude and Satucin, left the island lagged, limiting its population and economic output. In several records of the time, Côte des Saints is often regarded as the poorest island of the Viceroyalty, a situation that remained during most of the period, due to a lack of intensive indigenous workforce and the impossibility to enter into the slavery market. The colonial period under the Viceroyalty was particularly important for the christianisation of the scarce indigenous population, with Providence and other valley or coastal towns being erected around churches and monasteries, where priests were in charge of the education and labour of the local population.
Although the Viceroyalty was dissolved in 1935, the island had developed its own political and socio-economical character long before, with a local elite being perceived as different from the ones in neighbouring islands. The dissolution of the New Aurean after the Great War forced Côte des Saints into the Arucian Federation, a Community of Nations trust territory, from where it remained until the unilateral independence declaration in 1947 (granted after a transition period in 1952).
Following independence, Côte des Saints saw a growing tension between newborn political forces (Party of National Integration and the UCR), which, after a short period of civil conflicts, were solved by several political reforms under the governments of Jean-Pascal Chagnon (UCR). Under successive UCR governments, the country saw a level of development, with the expansion of labour, healthcare and education across the island. However, it was also the period of an increase in the use of an export based economic model, which boosted the influence of major Asterian companies in the country; this situation saw an algid moment when, entering a financial crisis in the 1970s, the country saw the emergence of several far-left guerilla groups, and the subsequent response from the right and the elites. Although the country was never under a military dictatorship, during most of the 1970s until 1985, the country lived under martial law with autoritarian governments from the UCR. After the 1980s, the country's isolation was broken, and the tight economic situation in which it was forced governments to implement several neoliberal reforms under the Morwall Consensus, of which Côte des Saints rapidly became a strong advocate during the 1990s.
Following the new century, the country has been dominated politically by the centre-left UCR and the centre-right PDIN; however, in the last years, the shift to the centre of the UCR has propitiated the increase of the leftist and populist FPP (Front for People's Participation).
