Eismir, officially The United Islands of Eismir, is a Archipelagic state off the coast of Seketan. Geographically located in North Western Europe, it is comprised of 7 Islands on the Ellinesan Archipelago, and is known for its harsh Winters.
Acquired by Great Britain during the Seven Years' War from Seketan, the region often contested by the two powers until the surrender of the Nelbec Empire after World War 1 in which the Empire agreed to renounce all claims to the British Controlled Section of the Archipelago. This treaty however was not recognized by the newly formed Sosymet-led Seketese Rebel state, who continued to occupy Eismir for years after the war until their eventual surrender to Karjorite forces in 1924.
During the Occupation the Sosymets instituted a policy of "Dajyna Secyan" (Sekan Liberation) which consisted of numerous land transfers to Native Seketese from Anglo-Eismirians, Complete Political disenfranchisement of Anglo-Eismirians from the New Local Government, and Harsh Punishments for Dissension. This directly lead to numerous militia groups consisting of disgruntled Landowners, Resentful Urban Poor, and Eismirian Naval veterans to directly oppose the Sosymets domestically. While not often successful operationally, Leaders of these groups, such as Douglas McKenna, would be instrumental in the later movement for Eismirian Independence and their folk hero status contributed directly to Eismirian Nationalism.
