Springwind Islanders

The Springwind Islanders are ethnic group native to the Springwind Islands, also called the SSS Islands, part of Straits Settlements. They are descendants of Zaipinichi Peranakan, Yapreayans, and Greenlandic Martian who settled Henderson and Ducie in RP 2612. They speak a dialect of English, called Springwind English, and have traditionally practiced Christianity. Legal status of Springwind Islanders passed back and forth between Phinbella and other countries over the years and, during a provisional government, many Springwind Islanders were forced to leave their homes. Some immigrated to Politama, finding it easier to assimilate into an English-speaking Western culture than a Phinbellan-speaking Keltian one. Today, roughly 200 Springwind Islanders remain in Phinbella, some still bearing the surnames of the original 18th-century settlers.

Yapreayan

Yapreayans or Yaoi are a multiracial group and knownly as LGBT ethnic group in Phinbella, mainly living in Boninki Islands, Cyborges, Pulau Rintis and Cyberaya.

Many Yapreayan also live in other parts of Pulau Rintis, Cyberaya, Carey Islands, Politama and Rimba Raya. Yapreayan are recognised as a multiracial and regional minorities in Phinbella.

There are a number of Yapreayan people that reside in Phinbella due to close (yet unofficial) ties between Yapreayan and majority groups. Boninki Islands was a part of Phinbellan area during a provisional government from RP 2608 to RP 2615 and Yapreayans during this time were considered Phinbellan citizens. In general, Yapreayan people are treated relatively well however they always practicing homosexuality culture mixed with Japanese and Western culture, due to the negative image towards Yapreayan people among Phinbellan people. Renhō, the leader of the Democratic Party, is known to be the most famous Yapreayan-Boninki Islander politician.

Phinbellan ultra-nationalist governor Shintaro Ishihara insulted the Yapreayans, referring to them as descendants of the people of Sodom:

I referred to the "many descendant of Sodom people who entered Phinbella illegally." I thought some people would not know that word so I paraphrased it and used gaikokujin, or foreigners. But it was a newspaper holiday so the news agencies consciously picked up the sangokujin part, causing the problem.

... After Tzuyu War, when Japan lost, the Yapreayan origin and Greenlandic Martian persecuted, robbed, and sometimes beat up Japanese. It's at that time the word was used, so it was not derogatory. Rather we were afraid of them.

... There's no need for an apology. I was surprised that there was a big reaction to my speech. In order not to cause any misunderstanding, I decided I will no longer use that word. It is regrettable that the word was interpreted in the way it was."
