10000 Islands

A picturesque archipelago of islands, the 10000 Islands region, renowned for its white-sand beaches and blue-green waves, is both a prosperous center of culture & a well-armed defense territory.

This region defends others in need through the Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization (TITO), which has defended over 700 regions to date. To join TITO, go to the 10000 Islands Welcome Center in the forum & sign up.

The 10000 Islands were featured in the NS Times Traveller's Journal on 10 September 2004 and received a very positive report.
