The Gotos Islands (Kakish: Gohtohs Iskjands), is an island set in the Alabaster Gulf and a territory of Kakland under the Gotos Islands SFAR.
The largest city is Gotos City, which is located on the largest island, Iskvha Iskjand, with having a (insert population here) as of 2020. It is the main port city of the Alabaster Gulf, and the main trading center.
The Gotos Islands sit in a subtropical region, with seasonal tropical storms and the occasionall hurricane. The islands sit on a tectonic plate on the Northern part of Iskvha Iskjand, the largest island. Because of this tectonic plate, tsunami risk is high for the islands, along with the rest of Kakland and surrounding areas.
History of the Gotos Islands
The islands were first inhabited by Thrismarin Germanics around 28,000 BCE, a few thousand years after the settlement of Eastern Thrismari in 30,000 BCE. Around 20,000 BCE the first Verno-Kak peoples arrived to Kakland and the Gotos Islands. Over the millennia, civilization grew and flourished. But the Gotos Island people were far behind to their counterparts in mainland Kakland. The Gotosians made contact with merchants from the Kysxk Kingdom in 757 CE, and with it came many things, good and bad. The Kysxk and other kingdoms/empires made trading ports on the Gotos Islands, and established the Kingdom of the Gotos Islands, or more commonly known as the Gotosian Kingdom, in 1128 CE. Christianity was introduced in the same year.
By the late 1300s, the Gotosian Kingdom grew in power to that of a small kingdom, providing many trades that the rest of mainland Kakland didn't have, such as a large supply of copper and salt. But because of this, the kingdom was dependent on others for other trades that the island didn't have naturally. Though this didn't stop Gotosians from wanting to be truly independent from others. In 1386, the Gotosian Kingdom declared economic independence from the Kysxk Kingdom. The king of the Kysxk Kingdom, Ťyon Qwerteinheimer, knew the economical importance of the island region, so instead of granting independence, the king declared war upon the Gotosian Kingdom.
The war, called the Gotos-Kysxk War, would go on from January 15th, 1386 to August 13th, 1401 (25 years, six months, and five days). The winning victory was the Kysxk Kingdom, with the Gotos Islands becoming a dependency of the Kysxk Kingdom.
The islands would be under Kysxkian rule until 1598, when the Khaygavar Empire went to war with the Kysxk Kingdom for land gain and naval control over the Alabaster Gulf. Khaygic rule would last from 1598-1625, before being invaded again be the Tjo-Kios Empire. Tjo-Kios' rule would last until 1640, when the Kysxk Kingdom took back the Gotos Islands under the leadership of Aleko Sindma. Later, in 1658, Aun Sindma would land in what is now called Gotos City, and declare it to be the main port city of Kakland. He would name it the Tejhmä Port, after the tribal leader who first made formal relations with Kysxkian merchants centuries ago. The city would later in 1897 be named after the islands, but the historic landing of Sindma is kept as a National Historic Area of Kakland to keep a reminder of the original name of the city.
From 1652-1918, the Gotos Islands would be under continuous rule of Kakland until the Kakish-Zhiguryian War, where the island of Ishulli was annexed by Zhiguryia. It was under Zhiguryian rule until the 1995 transfer.
