Carucere (Gaullican: Caruquère, IPA: [kaʁukɛre]; Papotement: Karuke, IPA: [kaʁuke]), formally known as the Kingdom of Carucere (Gaullican: Wayom d' Caruquère; Carucerean Creole: Royaume Karuke), is a small island nation between Asteria Superior and Asteria Inferior in the Arucian. It is geographically situated as part of the Golden Isles archipelago in the Western Arucian Sea. Consisting of the main islands of Marien and Magua, and numerous much smaller islands, it shares maritime borders with Sainte-Chloé to the west, Imagua and the Assimas to the north, and Aucuria to the east and south.
Before the arrival of Euclean settlers, the islands were home to a confederation of Nati tribes who traded with their neighbors. Carucere was discovered by Euclean explorers during the voyage of the Gaullican explorer Auguste de Antibes, who initially named it after the Queen of Gaullica, Anne the Financier. The Estmerish destroyed the confederation and established the Colony of Karukera in 1533, founding Jameston next to the strait between Marien and Magua, which formed a large natural harbor. Tens of thousands of Bahian slaves were transported to the islands to work on plantations. The island's strategic location and ideal geography for a naval base played a critical role in Estmere's attempts to contest Gaullica's control over Arucian Sea. Following Estmere's defeat in the Ten Years' War in 1721, the colony was annexed by Gaullica and renamed Saint-Brendan. Gaullican control lasted only briefly when a major slave revolt broke out in 1750
