West Skerry and Sri Pashana, officially the Federation of West Skerry and Sri Pashana, is an island nation located in the Skerry Isles archipelago with maritime frontiers on the Orange Sea, Captive Sea and Sea of Storms. Comprising five major islands, the four most northerly are governed together as the constituent state of West Skerry, while the largest and most southerly island forms the constituent state of Sri Pashana. Both constituent states elect their own legislative lower houses and respective governors, while federal elections are held for the shared upper-house legislative and sole presidential position.
History
The histories of both the islands and peoples which form the nation are long intertwined with that of the former Britannic Empire. An expansive colonial empire whose rule and influence spread across the majority of Micras' northern hemisphere landmasses, the Britannics' association with the Skerry Isles can be traced back to 1519 AN when they established their first overseas possessions following settlement missions based out of their Madison Isles homeland. By 1521 AN, Britannic rule had been rapidly expanded over the entirety of the Skerry Isles archipelago, along the nearby and renamed Britannic Sandwich Islands, and as far as south-west mainland Keltia.
While sovereignty of the Skerry Isles transitioned to Kataria from 1525 AN, throughout the ensuing years, the Britannic Empire's colonial possessions increased and expanded at a consistent rate elsewhere across Keltia and Benacia. From 1529 AN, the largest contiguous Britannic colony—physically many times the size of the Madison Isles, though administered by a number of authorities—could be found in south-eastern Keltia and covered a large portion of the ancestral homelands of the Guwahat people. Following a further extension of the territory's borders in 1533 AN, the largest portion of this land began to be administered under the name of Guwahati, in reference to the native inhabitants, with the city of Panaji as its capital. Within two years, by 1535 AN, the Skerry Isles had once again been colonised by the Britannics during the empire's arguable zenith due in no small part to the mass-movement of Guwahats away from their home to the islands.
However, within two years, the state of the Britannic Empire declined rapidly through constitutional crises and the heightening of tensions which would ultimately lead to the War of Jeremy's Nose between the fellow ethnically-Britannic kingdom of Bosworth and Shireroth. By 1537 AN, the Britannic Empire was functionally extinct, with few of its colonial possessions now under the control of the Riponian self-governing kingdom of Nova England; a long-time ally of the Britannics. Though the island now governed as Sri Pashana was abandoned, the islands which make up the current West Skerry remained under consistent Nova English protection for an extended period of time, even after the collapse of Riponia.
By 1541 AN, Sri Pashana found itself under Bosworthian rule, with two historically close Britannic allies having now established their own colonial territories throughout the Skerries, at which time a newly-institutionalised Britannic state was being founded on the Madison Isles. Bosworth's colonies in the Skerry Isles were gifted back to the Britannic Empire in 1544 AN as it once again established itself as an expansive empire in Micras' east. Ultimately, the second incarnation of the empire would not sustain as long or as rich a history as the first, and in 1547 AN it was declared permanently defunct.
As the Nova English presence in West Skerry persisted after the dissolution of the Britannic Empire, Sri Pashana found itself colonised by a number of nations intent on stretching their own imperial influence. Claims established by Imperium Incognita failed to last long, while the independent kingdom of Luthoria was soon annexed by Alexandria, whose own claim on the island was reduced over time. Ashkenatza would eventually establish the longest-lasting colony administering the majority of Sri Pashana, with its autonomous territory of Mahoz HaSephardim naming the island Great Jerba.
Geography
Government and politics
The nation's executive and legislative branches of government are both highly devolved between its two states, with only matters such as foreign relations, defence and taxation falling under the powers of the federal government. Devolved matters are covered by identical political systems in each state, where both have an elected Governor as the head of government and a 500-seat unicameral parliament which is elected separately; terms for both branches are six AN years, with elections for each held at the halfway point of the other's term. The federal setup reflects the system used at state level, with the head-of-state President elected concurrently with the two Governors and the 500 Council of the Islands seats being contested at the same time as each state's Chamber's seats.
