Kendall Isle is an island in Herrin Bay on Micras.
Origins and Etymology
Kendall Isle was added along with the rest of the Eastern Hemisphere in Series Three. In keeping with the policy of naming islands after famous past micronationalists, it was named after David Kendall, former Secretary General of the League of Secessionist States. However, it is much more commonly called Jaris, after the first country to occupy it and after the Shirerithian Duchy of the same name.
Landscape
Kendall Isle is basically flat, and surrounded by scores of smaller islands.
History
Kendall Island was first inhabited by the country of Jaris, a nation politically linked to the Jacobite Empire of Cognito and Lac Glacei.

Its capital, Philban, was (believe it or not) named after Regis Philbin from the Regis and Kathy Lee Show.
The island was the center of the Jaris War between Shireroth and the Grand Commonwealth, but no land actually changed hands during the hostility.
