Jaragua, officially the Jaraguan Republic, is an island country comprising the island of Jaragua and several small islands and cays off its coast. It is located within the Coltegan Passage.
Etymology
The indigenous people, the Emiyit, called the island Sharaka in their language, meaning the "Land of Wood and Water" or the "Land of Springs". Colloquially, Jaraguans refer to their home island as "Jar". Slang names such as "Jar", "Jarland", "Yanya" in Jaraguan, or briefly "Ja", have derived from this.
