Camp Devon (Etrurian: Campo Devon), commonly referred to as Devon, is a 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 Commonwealth Marines.
It is today bordered to the east by the municipality of Mennone, to the south by Mosconi, to the west by Rosso, and to the north by Chiumento.

History
Origins
Prior to the construction of Camp Devon, it was part of the four municipalities of Mennone, Mosconi, Rosso, and 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.
Construction
After the agreement was ratified by both states, the Imaguan government expropriated the land that would make up Camp Devon in 1960, compensating the owners of the expropriated lands with 5,000 shillings (in 2020 shillings, 403,980ſ57, or €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 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 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
TBD
In addition, military personnel and their dependents, as well as all Tacunian nationals employed on base must follow Tacuniaian military law, while all other civilians follow 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 court martial, while all other crimes are tried in Imaguan courts.
Demographics
As of the 2015 census, Camp Devon has a population of TBD people. Most of the inhabitants are Commonwealth Marine personnel and their dependents, with the remainder being Tacunian contractors.
Despite the official population of the base, it is accepted by the Ministry of Defense in 2017 that there are several hundred Imaguans who work at Camp Devon, mostly the surrounding communities of Mennone, Mosconi, Rosso, and Chiumento.
The primary languages spoken at Camp Devon are Estmerish, due to its status as official language of Tacunia, in addition to being a co-official language in Imagua and the Assimas, and 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.
