Silvers Island is a territory of Meridon, comprising of Silvers Island and a few smaller local islands. It is bordered to the north by Redbird Territory, to the east by Taikorea and the Eastern Islands Territory, and to the west by Mahine Territory. Silvers Island's capital and largest city is is Radenton.
Helena has been inhabited for over 5,000 years, with evidence of Tangaran transience in the area existing since at least this time. Helena Island is unique in that it was settled peaceably prior to the Second Colonial War by Maximiano Barreto. He named the island after his youngest daughter, Helena, who would later help to cultivate amicable relations with the native tribes. Helena, as a unified island, was briefly the single most powerful political entity in Meridon prior to the First Union. With strong Tangaran prevalence in local politics, Helena became a bastion of environmental preservation and did not heavily industrialize as many other colonies did. Helena cultivated a strong and diverse economy from its early days, although agriculture and commercial fishing remain bastions of its income.
Helena is known for its well-preserved natural beauty and vibrant hospitality districts, which has outpaced the agricultural sector to become Helena's largest industry in the 21st century. Helena also has the largest population of Tangaran people per capita in Meridon, both living on tribal lands and integrated with society. Tangaran culture is extremely prevalent in Helenan society, and influences developed here such as cocoa drinking and festivals such as the Rōpūrangi Festival have become nationally integrated. Helena is home to the most Interior Department recognized Natural Heritage Sites of any territory in Meridon. Helena produces a large amount of foodstuffs, including rice, wheat, sugarcane, dairy products, livestock, and other such products.
