The Scattered Islands (散在諸島, Sanzai-shotō?, Phineaner: Kepulauan Tersebar; Jawi: كڤولاوان ترسيبار; French-Alexandrian: Îles Éparses; Taesongean: 산재제도; RR: Sanjae-jedo; Yapreayan: Illes d'iҧsаҟ-an), known as the Scattered Islands in the Ieu'ryïan Strait (遊里海峡の散在諸島, Yūri-kaikyō no Sanzai-shotō?, Phineaner: Kepulauan Tersebar di Selat Ieu'ryïan; French-Alexandrian: Îles Éparses du détroit d'Ieu'ryïan; ; Yapreayan: Illes d'iҧsаҟ-an d'estret d'ieu`ryïan), officially as the Territory and State of the Scattered Islands (散在諸島道と州, Sanzai-shotō Dō to Shū?, Phineaner: Wilayah dan Negeri Kepulauan Tersebar; Taesongean: 산재제도도와주; RR: Sanjae-jedo do-wa ju) and also the Scattered Islands State or the Special Self-Governing Territory of the Scattered Islands (散在諸島特別自治道, Sanzai-shotō Tokubetsu Jichi-dō?, Phineaner: Wilayah Pemerintahan Sendiri Khas Kepulauan Tersebar; Taesongean: 산재제도특별자치도; RR: Sanjae-jedo Teukbyeol Jachido; MR: Sanjae-jedo T'ŭkpyŏl Chach'ido), is a proposed territory of Phinbella with a special self-governing status, located off the coast of Tempasuku about 25-40 kilometers. Bordered by Turku and Hōri and Drusselstein to the north, Taemhwanian district of Héi'an to the northwest, Yapreay Islands to the east, Federal Special Capital Territory to the west, Kantō-shū Islands to the southwest and Ssamaritan Islands to the south. The Scattered Islands have a total land area of 391.04 square kilometers and consist of several island groups, the Glorioso Islands, Yeop Takiyouki Island, Eureka Island, Bassas da Íeu'ryïan, Saint Croix, Tromelin Atoll, Isla del Tropico, Amsterdam and Jemberana Islands, Taiping (Tepen) Island, Karayuki-san Atoll and three Sendai Atoll islands of Rampayan, Izu and Marcus. The Scattered Islands are one of three territories in Phinbella with special self-governing status, the others being the neighboring Turku and Hōri State and the Kōkai State, following an autonomy referendum held on 17–24.VII.1743 AN (April 14, RP 2621) that successfully seceded from the Oriental Hispanioéire Taemhwan SAR and transferred its jurisdiction to the Federation. Replacing the Scattered Islands district and the Isla del Tropico district under the OTH-SAR, the special self-governing territory was established with the ratification of its basic law, the Organic Law of the Scattered Islands. The ratification was confirmed a few days later on April 16 by the Phinbellan Election Commission.
The capital and administrative center of the territory is Kéijō located in Tromelin Atoll, it is also the largest city in this territory and is used as the economic, cultural, and political center of the Tempasuku region and eastern Phinbella after Danville. This city is the third city with high business and employment opportunities after the capital, Negara Awan. The capital is a Phineonesian alpha city and is known as the "Phineonesian Big Easy". Financial institutions such as Roppongi Bank, the Scattered Islands Stock Exchange and the corporate headquarters of many Taemhwanian, Phinbellan and multinational companies (including those from Forajasaki) are located in the city. Private media such as the Corus Television Network and the Trans-Pior Broadcasting Company also originates from the city. In addition, Kéijō is also one of the Phineonesian entertainment centers that created its own music genre known as TC-pop, this music genre was created by Artmedia itself due to the uniqueness of its music videos using green screen technology and Western world scenery.
The Scattered Islands are one of the oldest continuously inhabited archipelagos in the Phineonesia region with an urban landscape including numerous skyscrapers on atolls and small islands, as well as the city that is filled with coral reefs around it. The Scattered Islands including Isla del Tropico were once occupied by the colonial Kingdom of Shandānø'kaí through the Shandānø'kaílander Ieu'ryïan Strait Company, the Sultanate of Barbara and the Kingdom of Shintaro from -140BPs until -27BP. All three rulers brought a number of Westerner and Phineaner settlers, and thousands of local and Jewish slaves from various parts of Phineonesia. The Scattered Islands (excluding the three Sendai Atoll islands) were sold to the Taemhwanian chieftains by the Shandānø'kaílander and Barbarite occupation authorities for 14,000,000 bellies in the Treaty of the Shandānø'kaí and Barbarite Ieu'ryïan Straits Islands (about 82,500,000 florins in 1743 AN). Since the treaty, the archipelago has been divided into two administrative divisions as unincorporated districts, with Karayuki-san Atoll and Taiping (Tepen) Island being incorporated into the administration of the Ssamaritan Islands. In RP 2600, the two districts were incorporated into an autonomous territorial unit until RP 2618. Karayuki-san Atoll and Taiping (Tepen) Island rejoined the Scattered Islands along with three islands in Sendai Atoll through a referendum. The inclusion of the three islands caused the Sendai Atoll to be divided into two jurisdictions, the jurisdiction of the Federation and the Taemhwanian SAR. The Scattered Islands will be handed over its jurisdiction into the Federation on XI.1746 AN through an agreement between the Federal government and the Taemhwanian government. And at the same time, the Scattered Islands have become a special self-governing territory with the official Istvanistani name as Scattered Islands State.
The Scattered Islands have a diverse ethnic, cultural and linguistic background, and can be said to be multilingual and multicultural, reflecting a combination of Taemhwanian (Scattered Islands Creole, Cajun), Betawi, Shandānø'kaílander, Barbarite and Oranje Phineaner, Sangunese, Hoklo, Hebisøerne Archipelago Creole, Bajau Samah, Kagayan, Ieu'ryïanian (Iranun) cultures and the slave cultures of Dromosker, Nán'yōklander, Yapreayan and Yehudis (usually descendants of slaves brought by settlers and colonial authorities during the occupation period); and more recent migrants include Sanpanese and Apollonians. The Scattered Islands are home to the Scattered Islands Creole, a distinct creole group that emerged in the -80BPs and -70BPs, a mixture of Alexandrian, Taemhwanian, Shandānø'kaílander, Sangunese and Phineaner settlers and other native and slave descendants. This creole has its own culture and speech. Unlike other territories in Phinbella, this state is famous for its diverse mixed culture, including several traditional dances: Undil-undil, Kéijō mask dance, dabus, Mak Yong, menora and limbai; traditional songs such as Dikir barat, isun-isun, runsai or lunsai, zydeco, gambang kromong, tinggazoun and tanjidor. Other cultures such as Wayang Kulit Tromelin, wau buan (kite-flying), Scattered Islands silat, badu sampit and sadariah (traditional costume), kuda pasu (equestrian) and kerak telor are also attractions in this archipelago state. The Scattered Islands implement a multilingual policy in which the Phineaner, Sangunese and Istvanistani are recognized as the official languages of the state, but mother tongues including Alexandrian, unique Sangunese pidgin and Phineaner creole are still spoken and preserved, and the state's organic law provides for "defending the fundamental rights of the people, the Scattered Islands and their respective states and territories, their historical, linguistic and cultural origins," The economy in the state is mainly based on services, fisheries, cottage industry and tourism.
