Pacanesia, officially the State of Pacanesia and Anesia (Pacanese: Taheya o Pakaw e te Anaw'se) is an an archipelagic nation located in the southern fringes of the Kaldaz Ocean. The nation is made up of 20 islands in 2 archipelagos, 12 in Pacanesia and 8 in Anesia. According to the World Assembly, as of 2023, Pacanesia has an estimated population of approximately 980,000. In contrast, the pre-war census conducted in 2005 reported a population of 1,548,000 inhabitants. The capital and largest city is Jenni-Bahar, home to over 500,000 people—over 50% of the entire country's population. The de facto capital-in-exile is Kahalie, which used to be the largest city at over 700,000 before the civil war in 2005.
Of the 2005 population, 51% identified as ethnically White, while 36% identified as ethnically Pacanese. 27.1% are grouped into the "Ultramaro and multiracial" category, which is primarily made up of Anáhuacese, Arab and Mixed people. The rest of the census group categorized as "other", 0.6% of the population.
The history of Pacanesia takes back 2,000 years of permanent habitation, when settlers arrived to the archipelago via Pohnpenesia. Throughout history, Pacanesia was ruled by various kingdoms, tribedoms, and becoming apart of the Kaldaic Empire in the 13th century. Post-colonization of the Kaldaic Ocean in the late 16th century resulted in the archipelago becoming the Kingdom of Pacanay in 1785.
