Assori Islands (English pronunciation /əˈsɔɹi ˈaɪləndz/; Assori Ilhas Ássoras pronounced /ˈiʎɐs ˈasoɾɐs/), officially the Republic of the Assori Islands (Champenian: República das Azoris; Assori: República das Ilhas Assori, often known informally as Ássora (English pronunciation /əˈsɔɹəs/; Assori Ássoras pronounced /ˈasoɾɐs/), is an island nation in Esquarium, on the northwestern coast of Nautasia. Ássoras borderds the Central Ocean to the north and east, the Lazarene Sea to the West and South, and HELLODARKNESSMYOLDFRIEND. Ássoras is a federal constitutional republic formed by 15 provinces and numerous National Islands . The climate in the archipelago is predominantly tropical, with rain seasons during the summer. The biggest city is the capital Porto Alvorada, located in the island of Saint Cecília, followed by Saverda, capital of the Bandeirantes province, in the island of São João.
Ássoras was initially inhabited by various native people during the earlier years. During the 1690s, Champenian settlements started to establish in the island, looking for natural resources like rubber and cocoa, as well as a gateway to Nautasia, where most of the black slaves came from. Nowadays, Ássoras is a federative presidential republic, with a president, elected every five years, as the head of State and Government. Legislative power is vested in the xxx-member bicameral congress. Executive power is exercised by the government chaired by the President Santiago Álvares. Ássoras is a federative state, currently divided into 15 provinces, and xxx municipalities.
Ássoras was inhabited by many local tribes before colonialism. The Caióba tribe was found in the homonym island, to the south of the island of Santa Cecília. The Matioca tribe could be found in the islands of São Luis e Vaz and were known for slavering mainland Nautasians who sailed through their domain. However, the two main tribes were found in the island of São João, the Ibiaçó and the Mamoré tribes. Champenians came by 1690, claiming lands for rubber extraction and slave trading. Ássoras remained as a colony till December 4th, 1915, after an internal governmental collapse within Champenia.
Ássoras is a market-based economy, founded by services, natural resources, and tourism. The Assorian economy is largely founded by the tourism industry as the nation receives many tourists every year. The largest airport is Pio Ravelo International Airport, in Porto Alvorada. Ássoras has extensive reserves of sea food, meat, natural rubber, and tropical fruits.
