Thubani is an island in the Rosario Sea.

• Name comes from RL Arabic for large snake or python. RL Thuban (Alpha Draconis) was the pole star a few millennia BCE.RL Chinese name is "Right Wall of Purple Forbidden Enclosure", a possible reference to the boundary between the Three Kingdoms and Orioni.
  • Draconis (!Latin) is Zenido (Oharic).

• What is the capital city?
  • Capital can be Adib (Oharic), and Youshu (Ide Jiman).

• Is the climate this far north still warm enough for rubber plantations?
  • The island was covered by luscious forests and rolling hills of rich soil. It was known as the best place for farming and raising livestock.

• In 1499, it was settled by Orioni in a colonial enterprise.
  • Add pre-colonial history, Pearl Road stuff.
  • Add colonial period events, rulers, economy.
  • As the Orinese empire grew, they continued to develop the island. The Orinese built a series of large castle to rule and protect the island. These citadels were huge, fortified and well guarded.
  • The westernmost castle was the home of a council and their family members. It was ruled by a viceroy and his family. The viceroy was appointed by the empire, in exchange for his loyalty and service to the empire and protecting its colony.

• In 1969, it became the last Orinese colony to gain its independence.
  • Add post-colonial history; look to Sri Lanka and Taiwan for inspiration

• The island voted by referendum in 1982 to join with San Ba, with which it shared strong ethno-cultural ties. However, a large Orinese minority remains present on the island.
  • What is the language of San Ba? (San Ban sounds silly, so does Sanbanese)
  • Add current economic situation, integration with San Ba.
