The Cadena Islands, officially the Province & Circuit of the Cadena Islands is an archipelago of islands located in the Musgorocian Ocean off the north-west coast of the Carlosian mainland. Uniquely, its small size means it is governed by a combined provincial and circuit authority, with districts comprising each of the three main islands; Sabacante, Rirca and Casbon. With a population of 1,179,452, it is the least populous of Carloso's provinces. It's economy is heavily reliant on tourism and fishing. The islands are regularly serviced by a variety of ferries; including train ferries, and air routes which connect it to the mainland.

Politics
As the smallest and least populous province, the Cadena Islands have three seats in the National Assembly, the absolute minimum for a province. One seat is held by National Salvation, another by the Socialist Republicans and another by an independent.
The Cadena Island Assembly administers the day-to-day running of the Cadena Islands. The coalition between National Salvation and independents maintained control of the Assembly at the 2022 election.
Economy
Tourism
Most tourists to the Cadena Islands are Carlosian, though many also come from Acrary, Gran Laurencia, Taliaferro, Sarabagia and Briossau. The tourist season peaks in the spring and summer months. The sometimes violent tropical storm season in the autumn and winter means that the Cadena Islands is an unpopular tourist destination during this part of the year.
Transport
Sabacante Airport is the primary airport for the Cadena Islands, and handles the majority of air traffic to and from the archipelago. Most international airports in western Musgorocia have at least one route to Sabacante. Rirca Airport and Casbon Airport serve their respective islands.
Carlosian Rail operates a rail network which spans the majority of Sabacante, and a tram/light rail system; Vosa Transit, exists in Vosa Ward with some stops in neighbouring Esnores Ward and Alistile Ward.
