The Chamorro Islands, more officially the Chamorro Islands Autonomous Area or the I Tåno' Autonomo (Chamorran) is an Autonomous Island Territory of Neo-Korea representing the Chamorro People. Originally entering Kāichrén hands as a result of the Chamorro War, the process of mutual movement would link the two populations on a distinct cultural and political level, with Chamorro willingly rejoining Neo-Korea following the negotiations which lead to the 1987 Chamorro Islands Unification Referendum. The official languages of the area are Chamorran and the Pan-Hiakemirian Constructed Language, which share an equal role in governmental and cultural programing. Economically and militarily, the Chamorro islands play a key role in the organization of defensive capacity against Marquesan and Aureumterra, with a number of major military industrial centers being present on the island.
The Chamorro Island Chain is comprised of a total of 14 islands, although the southmost island (the Islan i Manå'na') considers itself culturally and politically distinct, and has been pushing for further devolution since the early 1990s. The climate of the islands is generally tropical, with hot and humid summers and limited presence of snow even during the coldest of the winter months. It is home to a number of ethnic groups aside from the Chamorrans, although attempts to secure official recognition for these groups has been unsuccessful on a broad level due to resistance by members of the Chamorran community. The capital of the islands is Dañkulog, or "Great River" - named for its placement upon the largest river in the Chamorro Islands, a placement which assisted in its capacity for trade and commerce both before, during, and after the colonization of the islands by Marquesan. Especially notable in regards to this early trade was interaction with Azura and Cathalina-Magea, which resulted in interbreeding between those populations and the Chamorrans.
The CIAA is one of the most prosperous parts of Neo-Korea based on per-capita presence of currency, owing to a lack of damage from the Kāichrén Civil War and its retained prominence in the process of trade with Marquesan. The Islan i Manå'na' also contains one of the few actual oil reserves of note present in Neo-Korea, although this has been less economically exploited than would be expected due to the large focus on and state-investment into synthetic oil produced through coal liquification. In general, the Chamorro Islands possess a number of unique vegetation and fauna, which are crucial to the unique culinary heritage originating from the islands.
