'''Camp Devon''' ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''Campo Devon''), commonly referred to as '''Devon''', is a {{wp|military base}} operated by [[Tacunia]] on the territory of the [[Assimas Parish]] in [[Imagua and the Assimas]]. Established as a base in 1968 to help strengthen the presence of [[Tacunian Arucian Command]] on the [[Assimas Islands]], it is operated by the [[Tacunian Marines|Commonwealth Marines]].
'''Sotty Edmiston TBD''' (born '''Sotiras Edmiston Perkins''', 24 February, 1876 - 6 August, 1969) was the seventh [[Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas]], serving from 1952 until 1956, and a trade union leader.


It is today bordered to the east by the municipality of [[Mennone, Imagua and the Assimas|Mennone]], to the south by [[Mosconi, Imagua and the Assimas|Mosconi]], to the west by [[Rosso, Imagua and the Assimas|Rosso]], and to the north by [[Chiumento, Imagua and the Assimas|Chiumento]].
==Early life==
Sotty Edmiston (TBD) was born as Sotiras Edmiston Perkins on 24 February, 1876 in [[Evertsgard, Imagua and the Assimas|Evertsgard]], [[Saint Christopher's Parish]] (present day [[Evertsgard, Imagua and the Assimas|Evertsgard]], [[Cuanstad]]) to Archibald Perkins, a blacksmith, and to Tabitha Perkins (nee Barnett), a housewife, as the youngest of six children, and the only son to survive childhood.


==Etymology==
His early life was marked with tragedy: his father abandoned Tabitha and their children in 1879, and in 1881, Martha died of {{wp|scarlet fever}}, leaving Sotty and his siblings orphaned.
(TBC)


==History==
According to Sotty's biography, a sailor from TBD took pity on him, and adopted him as his own, bringing him back to (TBD) where he was sent to school and studied at a university. In gratitude, Sotty would adopt the sailor's surname as his own. However, most historians dispute the veracity of Sotty's claims, citing Imaguan census records from 1891 reporting that he and his siblings lived with his paternal uncle near [[Lundholm]], his surname not matching grammatical rules in the TBD language, and his "penchant for embellishing stories."
===Origins===
Prior to the construction of Camp Devon, it was part of the four municipalities of [[Mennone, Imagua and the Assimas|Mennone]], [[Mosconi, Imagua and the Assimas|Mosconi]], [[Rosso, Imagua and the Assimas|Rosso]], and [[Chiumento, Imagua and the Assimas|Chiumento]], with the general area being very much rural throughout recorded history.


After the [[Tripartite Agreement]] was signed between the governments of [[Estmere]], [[Tacunia]], and [[Imagua and the Assimas]], Tacunia expressed an interest in opening bases outside [[Thorebourne Naval Base]]. Thus, in 1958, Imagua and Tacunia signed an agreement, which allowed Tacunia to operate bases across the rest of the country, in exchange for Imagua paying the costs to construct the bases and other military facilities.
In 1899, Sotty moved to [[Cuanstad]] where he took a job as a dockworker. His experience as a dockworker made him interested in politics, particularly as he resented "contributing to the economy of Imagua but not having a say in the politics of this land." This led him to becoming involved with the [[Dockworker's Union (Imagua)|Dockworker's Union]] by 1900, and by 1903, he would join the [[Labour Party (Imagua)|Imaguan Subsection of the Estmerish Section of the Workers' International]].
 
===Construction===
After the agreement was ratified by both states, the Imaguan government {{wp|expropriated}} the land that would make up Camp Devon in 1960, compensating the owners of the expropriated lands with 5,000 [[Arucian shilling|shillings]] (in 2020 shillings, 403,980ſ57, or [[Euclo|€]]53,672.95). The following year, construction began on Camp Devon.
 
Over the next seven years, Imaguan construction workers constructed the buildings and associated infrastructure required for the [[Tacunian Marines|Commonwealth Marines]] to operate from Camp Devon. As per the 1958 agreement signed between [[Tacunia]] and [[Imagua and the Assimas]], Imagua paid the costs to build the base, in addition to smaller installations scattered across the archipelago. During the process of construction, six people lost their lives.
 
On 29 June, 1968, Camp Devon was formally opened, thereby officially transferring the base from Imaguan administration to Tacunian administration.

===Climate===
Climatically, like the rest of [[Imagua and the Assimas]], Camp Devon experiences a {{wp|tropical monsoon climate}}, with the yearly average highs being 32 °C (89.6 °F), and the yearly average lows being 20.5 °C (68.9 °F). The wet season is generally from May to October, while the dry season typically lasts from November to April, although the months of April and November receive more rain than any other month in the dry season.
 
The highest recorded temperature at Camp Devon was at 35.9 °C (96.7 °F) on 1 August, 1939, while the coldest recorded temperature at Camp Devon was at 12.7 °C (54.9 °C), on 15 January, 1911.
 
==Governance==

In addition, military personnel and their {{wp|Military dependent|dependents}}, as well as all Tacunian nationals employed on base must follow {{wp|military law|Tacuniaian military law}}, while all other civilians follow [[Imagua and the Assimas|Imaguan]] law. As per the Tripartite Agreement, Tacunian personnel committing crimes against other personnel, or committed crimes against Imaguan civilians in the course of their duties are to be tried by Tacunian {{wp|court martial}}, while all other crimes are tried in Imaguan courts.
 
==Demographics==
[[File:Camp_foster_housing.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Typical housing]]
As of the 2015 census, Camp Devon has a population of TBD people. Most of the inhabitants are [[Tacunian Marines|Commonwealth Marine personnel]] and their {{wp|Military dependent|dependents}}, with the remainder being Tacunian contractors.
 
Despite the official population of the base, it is accepted by the [[Ministry of Defense (Tacunia)|Ministry of Defense]] in 2017 that there are several hundred Imaguans who work at Camp Devon, mostly the surrounding communities of [[Mennone, Imagua and the Assimas|Mennone]], [[Mosconi, Imagua and the Assimas|Mosconi]], [[Rosso, Imagua and the Assimas|Rosso]], and [[Chiumento, Imagua and the Assimas|Chiumento]].
 
The primary languages spoken at Camp Devon are {{wp|English language|Estmerish}}, due to its status as official language of [[Tacunia]], in addition to being a co-official language in [[Imagua and the Assimas]], and {{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}, as the most dominant language of the [[Assimas Parish]].

===Labour issues===
Concerns in the Tacunian Parliament and from NGOs have been raised regarding the labour rights of the civilian contractors for Camp Devon. The locally sourced contractor companies that provide the base with cooking, medical and other secondary services are subject to Imaguan labour law, and thus companies who have received these contracts have taken advantage of it to cut costs. Many workers, which are often of native Imaguan origin, work for salaries severely below average when compared to the same function in Tacunia or even other Tacunian military bases abroad.

Sotty Edmiston TBD (born Sotiras Edmiston Perkins, 24 February, 1876 - 6 August, 1969) was the seventh Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas, serving from 1952 until 1956, and a trade union leader.

Early life

Sotty Edmiston (TBD) was born as Sotiras Edmiston Perkins on 24 February, 1876 in Evertsgard, Saint Christopher's Parish (present day Evertsgard, Cuanstad) to Archibald Perkins, a blacksmith, and to Tabitha Perkins (nee Barnett), a housewife, as the youngest of six children, and the only son to survive childhood.

His early life was marked with tragedy: his father abandoned Tabitha and their children in 1879, and in 1881, Martha died of scarlet fever, leaving Sotty and his siblings orphaned.

According to Sotty's biography, a sailor from TBD took pity on him, and adopted him as his own, bringing him back to (TBD) where he was sent to school and studied at a university. In gratitude, Sotty would adopt the sailor's surname as his own. However, most historians dispute the veracity of Sotty's claims, citing Imaguan census records from 1891 reporting that he and his siblings lived with his paternal uncle near Lundholm, his surname not matching grammatical rules in the TBD language, and his "penchant for embellishing stories."

In 1899, Sotty moved to Cuanstad where he took a job as a dockworker. His experience as a dockworker made him interested in politics, particularly as he resented "contributing to the economy of Imagua but not having a say in the politics of this land." This led him to becoming involved with the Dockworker's Union by 1900, and by 1903, he would join the Imaguan Subsection of the Estmerish Section of the Workers' International.
