Haiho (Standard Tuchanese: 海浩, tr. Haihao, Ji: tr. Hehau), is an overseas territory of the Kingdom of Camria, comprising the highly-urbanised Haiho islands located off the eastern coast of Tuchan. Haiho recorded a population of 3,419,504 in 2016.
Prior to Camrian ownership, the islands of Haiho were populated by fishermen, and largely ignored by the Tuchanese dynasties. The island was captured by Camrian forces in 1821 during Jade and Silk Wars, and sovereignty was transfered to Camria in perpetuity in 1822 as per the Treaty of Haiho which ended the conflict. The islands emerged as an important naval base and trading post for Camrian merchants in Catai, and the islands became increasingly important to the local economy. The 1872 Treaty of Tongkew saw the waters surrounding the main isle, and the smaller islands therein, also ceded to Camria, in exchange for monetary payment.
Camrian control was largely uncontested until after the Great War. The rise of the Zhao dynasty saw the modern Tuchanese state attempt to reassert control, culminating in the 1941 Haiho Bay Crisis, which saw a military stand-off between the Tuchanese Navy and the Camrian garrison. The threat of Camrian nuclear retaliation ended the crisis, but the ownership dispute continued. Tuchan lobbied the Congress of Nations to demand decolonisation, and in response Camria granted the colony limited home rule in 1959. This was followed by a general warming of Camro-Tuchanese relations, and by the 1990s the two countries were discussing joint-sovereignty proposals, but these were opposed by the islanders themselves. Instead, the 1999 Roundtable Agreement was signed by representatives of Camria, Rodavia, Tuchan and Haiho. The agreement secured free movement between the islands and the mainland, further political devolution and the introduction of Tuchanese as a co-official language. In return, Tuchan recognised Camrian sovereignty over Haiho, and the right of the Haihoese to self-determination.
In the modern day, the islands remain a major financial and business hub in the region, with a number of comapnies maintaining their Catai headquarters in Haiho. The country has a GDP (PPP) per capita of $56,234. Gambling, tourism and film-making are also major industries on the islands. Anna III reigns as Monarch, though most royal duties are performed by Antoin Cai, the incumbent Governor. Most political power in the territory resides in First Minister Zhao Zemin, and in the devolved Parliament of Haiho.
