Uto (Senrian Gyoumon: 右島国 Kokumon: 읻옥옥우 Sorazi: Utō-koku, Amatsaru: Ḳàr-i-tohrè) is a sovereign island country in Asteria Inferior, sharing no naval borders with any country. It is surrounded by the Lumine ocean on all sides. The capital city of Uto is Kurohama, located on the island of Morishima, which is also the largest city in the country.
Uto's distance from mainland Asteria meant that the island was only settled by humans around 1300 CE, when several groups of Ona fishermen settled in the archipelago. These populations remained small, living off fishing in hunter-gatherer tribal societies. Nonetheless, the existence of megalithic architecture attests to societal complexity. Senrian ships arrived in the archipelago in the 17th century, traders looking for a direct route to trade with the Asterias. Initially presuming the islands to be uninhabited, the traders were shocked when Ona boats sailed out to greet them. Though initial interactions were peaceful, Senrians soon returned to establish a permanent mercantile trading post on the island and disputes over land soon turned violent. By the 19th century, when the decision was made to settle Uto as a colony, most of the Ona natives had been wiped out by disease and violence. However, there was a large mixed population, who faced discrimination at the hands of the pure Senrian authorities. Separated from the mainland, Uto slowly developed its own cultural identity, though this was suppressed.
