'''Camp Devon''' ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''Campo Devon''), commonly referred to as '''Devon''', is a {{wp|military base}} operated by [[Halland]] on the territory of the [[Assimas Parish]] in [[Imagua and the Assimas]]. Established as a base in 1968 to help strengthen the presence of [[Hallandic Arucian Command]] on the [[Assimas Islands]], it is operated by the [[Hallandic Marines|Commonwealth Marines]].
 
It is today bordered to the east by the municipality of [[Mennone, Imagua and the Assimas|Mennone]], to the south by [[Mosconi, Imagua and the Assimas|Mosconi]], to the west by [[Rosso, Imagua and the Assimas|Rosso]], and to the north by [[Chiumento, Imagua and the Assimas|Chiumento]].
 
==Etymology==
(TBC)
 
==History==
===Origins===
Prior to the construction of Camp Devon, it was part of the four municipalities of [[Mennone, Imagua and the Assimas|Mennone]], [[Mosconi, Imagua and the Assimas|Mosconi]], [[Rosso, Imagua and the Assimas|Rosso]], and [[Chiumento, Imagua and the Assimas|Chiumento]], with the general area being very much rural throughout recorded history.
 
After the [[Tripartite Agreement]] was signed between the governments of [[Estmere]], [[Halland]], and [[Imagua and the Assimas]], Halland expressed an interest in opening bases outside [[Mordred Naval Base]]. Thus, in 1958, Imagua and Halland signed an agreement, which allowed Halland to operate bases across the rest of the country, in exchange for Imagua paying the costs to construct the bases and other military facilities.
 
===Construction===
After the agreement was ratified by both states, the Imaguan government {{wp|expropriated}} the land that would make up Camp Devon in 1960, compensating the owners of the expropriated lands with 5,000 [[Imaguan shilling|shillings]] (in 2020 shillings, 403,980ſ57, or [[Euclo|€]]53,672.95). The following year, construction began on Camp Devon.
 
Over the next seven years, Imaguan construction workers constructed the buildings and associated infrastructure required for the [[Hallandic Marines|Commonwealth Marines]] to operate from Camp Devon. As per the 1958 agreement signed between [[Halland]] and [[Imagua and the Assimas]], Imagua paid the costs to build the base, in addition to smaller installations scattered across the archipelago. During the process of construction, 82 people lost their lives.
 
On 29 June, 1968, Camp Devon was formally opened, thereby officially transferring the base from Imaguan administration to Hallandic administration.

==Geography==

===Climate===
Climatically, like the rest of [[Imagua and the Assimas]], Camp Devon experiences a {{wp|tropical monsoon climate}}, with the yearly average highs being 32 °C (89.6 °F), and the yearly average lows being 20.5 °C (68.9 °F). The wet season is generally from May to October, while the dry season typically lasts from November to April, although the months of April and November receive more rain than any other month in the dry season.
 
The highest recorded temperature at Camp Devon was at 35.9 °C (96.7 °F) on 1 August, 1939, while the coldest recorded temperature at Camp Devon was at 12.7 °C (54.9 °C), on 15 January, 1911.
 
==Governance==
TBD
 
In addition, military personnel and their {{wp|Military dependent|dependents}}, as well as all Hallandic nationals employed on base must follow {{wp|military law|Hallandian military law}}, while all other civilians follow [[Imagua and the Assimas|Imaguan]] law. As per the Tripartite Agreement, Hallandic personnel committing crimes against other personnel, or committed crimes against Imaguan civilians in the course of their duties are to be tried by Hallandic {{wp|court martial}}, while all other crimes are tried in Imaguan courts.
 
==Demographics==
[[File:Camp_foster_housing.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Typical housing]]
As of the 2015 census, Camp Devon has a population of TBD people. Most of the inhabitants are [[Hallandic Marines|Commonwealth Marine personnel]] and their {{wp|Military dependent|dependents}}, with the remainder being Hallandic contractors.
 
Despite the official population of the base, it is accepted by the [[Ministry of Defense (Halland)|Ministry of Defense]] in 2017 that there are several hundred Imaguans who work at Camp Devon, mostly the surrounding communities of [[Mennone, Imagua and the Assimas|Mennone]], [[Mosconi, Imagua and the Assimas|Mosconi]], [[Rosso, Imagua and the Assimas|Rosso]], and [[Chiumento, Imagua and the Assimas|Chiumento]].
 
The primary languages spoken at Camp Devon are {{wp|English language|Estmerish}}, due to its status as official language of [[Halland]], in addition to being a co-official language in [[Imagua and the Assimas]], and {{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}, as the most dominant language of the [[Assimas Parish]].

===Environmental issues===
As environmental laws are far more lax in Imagua than in Halland, the Hallandic Armed Forces has been able to exploit it to... (TBC)
 
===Labour issues===
Concerns in the Hallandic Parliament and from NGOs have been raised regarding the labour rights of the civilian contractors for Camp Devon. The locally sourced contractor companies that provide the base with cooking, medical and other secondary services are subject to Imaguan labour law, and thus companies who have received these contracts have taken advantage of it to cut costs. Many workers, which are often of native Imaguan origin, work for salaries severely below average when compared to the same function in Halland or even other Hallandic military bases abroad.
