The Holish Islands is an overseas-Administrative District (Province) of Zamastan in the south-western Samson Ocean, roughly 1,700 miles north of Antartique and 1,980 miles east of Ausiana. The capital and largest city of the Holish Islands is Untavia, with more than 60% of the population on the main island of Unyt. The inhabitants of the Holish Islands are called Holishans, and they are Zamastanian citizens by birth. The Holish Islands became a territory of Zamastan in 1911 under President Jean Levasseur at the end of the Elkjop War. The indigenous Holish islanders have relative history with continental Ausianans. In 2018, 4,719,000 people resided on the three islands composing the archipelago.
The Holish Islands has an area of 210 square miles (540 km2; 130,000 acres) and a population density of 12,420 per square mile, making it one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Since the 1950s, the economy has been supported by two industries: tourism and the Zamastanian Armed Forces. Three military bases belonging to Zamastan operate on the island, including the Navy's Holish Forward Navy Base and the Air Force's Kordia-Holish Airforce Base. The province attracts tourists, surfers, and scientists from around the world with its diverse natural scenery, generally warm climate, abundance of public beaches, oceanic surroundings, active volcanoes, and clear summer skies.
