Abbreviation | UIS |
The United Isles is a secessionist state in the south of the Unified Governorates of Benacia, comprising the Iridian Isles, the Isle of Benacia and Florencia. An uprising against heavy-handed and invasive rule by the UGB authorities on Florencia in VII.1684 quickly spread to the other islands. Although fighting with the Black Legion forces on Florencia was initially fierce, the general lack of effective garrisons on the other islands, together with massive popular support for the rebels, allowed the Iridian Isles and the Isle of Benacia to be liberated rather quickly. On Florencia, the Massacre of Fuconara galvanised opposition to the Black Legion forces and sparked international outrage.
Geography
Florencia
The United Isles consist of three distinct island groups. The largest island Florencia is located to the southeast. The island is vaguely rectangular, stretching from west to east. Most of the population live in towns along the coast, while the interior consists of Il-pjanuri ħelwin, the Sweet plains, so named due to the numerous siġra ħelwa, trees that secrete a sweet sap to attract animals, living there. There are two distinct mountain ranges, the Muntanji Caesari and Artijiet ta 'l-Awissu, the Augustine Highlands. The capital of the island, Capitolia, is located on the northern coast.
