Sasora, officially the Island of Sasora (Latin: Insula Sasorae; Lugense: Enez Lugenez; Sasoran: Îles dé Sasore) is a Caesarian province of Latium, located north of the Angusta Strait.
Sasora was first inhabited by the XXXX, a Celtic tribe which later became part of the ancient Latin province of Gelonia in the late 2nd century BCE, under whose domain it remained until an 8th century Viking incursion. The Kingdom of the Isles was established by Norse invaders, ruling over Sasora and surrounding islands until being absorbed into Gelonia and the Audonian Empire by 1250. The island became a territory of the first Kingdom of Gelonia in the 13th century, though was eventually surrendered to the Monarchy of Latium, after a brief spell under the dominion of Adrianople, in 1632. It has remained a Latin territory since, and was reorganized into a Caesarian province in 1950 following the Gelonian War of Independence, with further autonomy granted in 1979. A failed independence referendum was held in 1975, due to protocols of the Brennia Agreement.
The island is largely self-governing, with its own legislature, and legal and judicial systems. The Count Palatine is the personal representative of the Emperor, serving as the island's governor.
