History
Located in a region of Southeastern Apollonia which throughout its history has been claimed by the governments of many great nations, including Baracao, Antica, and Jingdao, the group of islands now known as the St. Andre Islands was annexed by the Kingdom of Krasnocoria in 38.94 PSSC. In 40.99 PSSC the region was traded to the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union in exchange for the Stars Archipelago, located in northwestern Eura. Under Bassarid control, the St. Andre Islands, with their capital located in the newly established city of Zidü Andre, became a homeland for practitioners of the Bassarid faith in Apollonia, who for years had faced displacement and exile as a result of war and tensions in other parts of Southern Apollonia. The annexation of the St. Andre Islands marks the Bassarid nation's first formal expansion into Apollonia.
In the 41.20s, the Saint Andre Islands were designated as the administrative headquarters of the New Zimian Temple Authority after the institution was relocated away from Chelkran Kesh during a period of monastic uprisings in the region.

Transportation
The primary mode of transportation in the Protectorate of the St. Andre Islands is sail. With that said, most settlements on the region's various islands and surrounding islets are connected by a network of roads constructed during the era of Antican administration, and maintained by most subsequent administrations. These roads can be traversed using either cars or wagons, or on horseback. Where roads have been maintained, passage is relatively simple and straightforward. In areas where maintenance has not been prioritized, roads have been almost completely overtaken by the dense, tropical jungle which covers most of the archipelago.
Military Installations
The St. Andre Islands are home to no major military bases, though the region is heavily patrolled by forces the New Zimian War League who are headquartered in northwestern Eura. The region is also defended by the organization known as the Sons of St. Andre.
Protected Areas
There are no formally protected areas located in the St. Andre Islands
Culture
Life in the St. Andre Islands revolves around the practice of Apollonian variants of the Stripping Path, which first emerged in the Florian Republic, and the Natopian settlement of Port St. Andre, in the period surrounding the outbreak of the War of Lost Brothers.
