Kaihima, also known as the Kotan Kahimia, Rodinshima, Far Island, or the Autonomous Territory of Kaihima is an an autonomous territory of Neo-Korea located south of Janpia. Kaihima is officially multilingual, utilizing the Hiakemirian Constructed Language, Kaihiman Language, and Kaizuei Language in all official government proceedings. Kaizuei and Kaihiman and mutually intelligible with the HCL.
The terrain of the island is generally pleasant, which has been a notable boon to its role as a tourist destination. The first known habitation of the islands began at some point in 3000 or 2800 BCE, with the native Kaihiman population building small settlements based on fishing during the period. Kaihima would eventually be conquered by proto-Kaskaidan pirates, who used it as a base to raid both the mainland of Hiakemiria and Janpia. The islands would be claimed by the State of Kaesong following their independence - in a joint operation with Anagonia which resulted in the forcing of the proto-Kaskaidan pirates to mainland Kaskaida, where they would redirect the resources of the Kaisam state of the period to benefit themselves.
Kaihima would be run directly by Kaesong until the 1927 Kaihima Autonomy Agreement, where (near the end of the Chamorro War) the state would agree to create an independent legislative body to manage the islands - while the state would retain control over trade, foreign policy, and military matters. This agreement has lasted into the modern era, despite the multiple changes of government experienced by the Yanshen states of the period. Kaihima is one of the most prosperous parts of Neo-Korea, only beaten by Lushun in regards to per-capita GDP.
