Kaihima, also known as the Kotan Kahimia, Rodinshima, Far Island, or the Autonomous Territory of Kaihima is an an autonomous territory of Neo-Korea located south of Janpia. Kaihima is officially multilingual, utilizing the Hiakemirian Constructed Language, Kaihiman Language, and Kaizuei Language in all official government proceedings. Kaizuei and Kaihiman and mutually intelligible with the HCL.
The terrain of the island is generally pleasant, which has been a notable boon to its role as a tourist destination. The first known habitation of the islands began at some point in 3000 or 2800 BCE, with the native Kaihiman population building small settlements based on fishing during the period. Kaihima would eventually be conquered by proto-Kaskaidan pirates, who used it as a base to raid both the mainland of Hiakemiria and Janpia. The islands would be claimed by the State of Kaesong following their independence - in a joint operation with Anagonia which resulted in the forcing of the proto-Kaskaidan pirates to mainland Kaskaida, where they would redirect the resources of the Kaisam state of the period to benefit themselves.
Kaihima would be run directly by Kaesong until the 1927 Kaihima Autonomy Agreement, where (near the end of the Chamorro War) the state would agree to create an independent legislative body to manage the islands - while the state would retain control over trade, foreign policy, and military matters. This agreement has lasted into the modern era, despite the multiple changes of government experienced by the Yanshen states of the period. Kaihima is one of the most prosperous parts of Neo-Korea, only beaten by Lushun in regards to per-capita GDP.
Etymology
Owing to the presence of numerous different linguistical and cultural groupings on Kaihima, the name of the island was historically highly variable - with a number of names coming to the fore (including the still used Rodinshima). Upon the end of the proto-Kaskaidan period of ownership of the island, the name would be officially mandated as Kaihima - the "Liberated" or "Pirate" island dependent on which language is being used, a term still in use today. Recently, there have been notable political efforts to change the name to a more neutral term usable by all three groupings - although this seems currently unlikely.
History
Kisihima would be inhabited by 3000 or 2800 BCE, primarily by a Hana-descendent population now known as the Kaihiman Cultural Grouping. These early settlers would primarily sustain themselves off fishing and small-scale agriculture, the latter learned from Jien traders who came across the island. While colonization attempts would be considered by the Jien, the failure to sustain the state and the notable rate of government turnover made such a proposition nonviable.
The population would be relatively prosperous until shortly into the 300BCE period, as the expelling of the Hiakemirian Bèiqūren people (a group living in the territory of Jungg'o, notable for both riverine and sea-based piracy) occurred, with the Bèiqūren being the group who would eventually become a major part of the Kaskaidan lineage.
Arrival of Proto-Kaskaidans
As mentioned above, the arrival of the Bèiqūren would represent a seismic shift in the politics of Kaishima. While the Bèi were not inclined to actively attempt to colonize the region (those groupings who were instead fleeing to Kaisam), they would establish major coastal settlements on the island - displacing many natives into the interior of the country, where they were incentivized to focus on subsistence agriculture (which they would trade with the Bèi population).
The Bèi were notable utilizers of enslaved labor, and purchasers of such during this period - and through this process would introduce a number of ethnic groupings to the island, including Jien, Kāichrén, Janpian, and other groupings - including some from the continent of Kistavich. This status quo would largely continue despite the growing non-Bèi population of the island - owing to the bankrolling of the Kaihima Bèi by their relatives in Kaisam, mainly in a form of delayed revenge against those they felt had sequestered them away from the Hiakemirian continent.
Multiple efforts had been made historically to eliminate Bèi activities on the island - but owing to the Kaisam navy's suspicious support of them, and the lack of capacity for many states to engage in actions to eliminate them, they would endure until the late 1890s.
Liberation of Kaihima
Shortly after the establishment of the independent State of Kaesong, a major raid would take place against the coastal city of Fuzan - financed by the Kaisam state apparatus (and, in reality, by the internal Bèi grouping in control of much of that apparatus), an action which would enrage the dictator of the state - Hamamoto Jaeon. Rapid negotiations would take place with Anagonia, with an agreement for a joint operation to contain the pirates being made.
This joint operation would result in a swift, two-week war against the Bèi on the island - which ended with a major revolt by a native-slave coalition and the subsequent invasion of the island by Kaesong. As agreed upon during negotiations, in exchange for favorable economic and political agreements between Anagonia and Kaesong, the island would be ceded to the latter.
Those who had been enslaved on the island were generally sent back to their homelands - excluding those who wished to stay, who were compensated handsomely in exchange for acting as a population who could keep the island in the Kaesong sphere of influence.
Autonomy Agreement
During the course of the Chamorro War, autonomy activists on Kaihima would use the planned creation of an Chamorran autonomous province after the end of such as reasoning for the creating of their own internal system of autonomy. The population would rapidly be mobilized to this task after the expelling of the majority of Marquesan forces on the Chamorros, and eventually an agreement would be signed following a week of negotiations. This agreement continues to serve as the basis for the status of Kaihima into the modern period.
