Ynysoedd Unedig

The Ynysoedd Unedig (Istvanistani: United Islands) initiative is a proposal put forward by several Calbain politicians and activist, as well as some former Arcadian officials. The idea behind the initiative is to expand the Calbain state to all the Jasonian islands, which have fallen into ruin following the collapse of Arcadia.

The initiative currently has no majority in the Cynulliad Cenedlaethol because the official stance of the Nationalist faction is not to support the expansion, mainly for political reasons. For similar strategic reasons, the Realist faction, being ousted following the 1685 elections, strongly supports Ynysoedd Unedig. Kilkelly is already the largest stronghold of the Realists, and expansion towards the East is likely to expand the electorate of the Realists.

The original Calbain nation only comprised the Ynys y Calbain and Coastal Kilkelly and Armoria. For that reason, many nationalists or Calbain identitarianists, prefer to restrict the Calbain nation to its heartland. Although the population in the Western islands is estimated to be not more than one million (with many Arcadians having migrated to Francia and Batavia before the fall), the idea of expanding the group of ethnically non-Calbain citizens of Calbion is controversial.

In early 1686, Governor-General said to "seriously consider" the initiative, but also made sure that any final proposal would need to be put in front of the people in a referendum, in addition to having a majority in the Assembly.

Some radical irredentists also favour the inclusion of the former Calbain colonies, which are presently occupied by other nation, as well as the recapture of Penguin Island, a historically significant island that was given to Natopia by the Jingdaoese occupation government.
