AHSCA is not a generic nation. Non the less the people of these five islands gathered to form their perfect uninon in the wake of horrific events and domination by imperialist nations.

History

Origins

It isn't known who settled or when these islands were settled. There are many theories as to the islands origins.

Ancient Breakoffs

This theory states that the islands may have been around since the B.C. eras. From where it isn't known. There are thoes that present theorize that the islands were a result of Wikipedia: Pangea. Some theorize they were once part of Kanami but brokeaway long before it's settlement. Others have suggested they could have been part of The North Hanover Islands Dependency Chain. Still it isn't known.

Underwater Seismic Activity

The most common and likely theorym that the islands were formed by underwater volcanoes. However non of the AHSCA peaks are seismically active or have erupted (which would account for the often poor soil) which has some scientist baffled.

Settlement

Setlement is still unknown other than the history of Animalpolis which is belived to be settled by fleeing Hybrids most noteably Nekos. However it is likely the islands were settled from various shipwrecked sailors from the northern areas (Which would explain why not all have naturally tanned skin) However the islands have long lacked any formal government until very recently which makes some to belive they may have been settled within the last 5-10 years. Others have suggested it could be because the life expetancy is very low and the mortality rate is high.

Occupation Eras

The island were most noteable for the communist occupations. Most being Soviet Satalites before they left at some point. During the occupation eras the satalites were primarly there as military outposts and not civilan rule. The lives of people were generally uninterfered with. Thoes that pledged loyalty to the Motherland were drafted and given armes and trained. Once the occupation ended much equipment was left behind as well as insurgents still loyal to the motherland hopping for a reviaval. The islands were also very seperated from eachother. Neither of them really interacted much untill the end of occupation.

Pre-Protection/Major War Eras

Although the islands have lacked very formal government they have all had some formal structure. Aurora was likely some sort of monarchy or fudelist sytem (A Grand Duchy to be more exact) the most notable being Shino Nanano, who was appointed Grand Duchess Hoshino Island was likely a military coalition, Stilleståndö (Truce) was a monarcy, Animalpolis was a semi-commonwealth colony. (However it is still likened to an Autocracy) It was at this time they began intertrading with eachother. Still the islands kept mostly to themselves.

Aurora

Aurora was doing fairly well for its self. Although it was a Grand Duchy it was very much becoming a direct democracy. The low population the the closeness of people made this pretty achiveable.

Hoshino

Hoshino was doing also fairly good. However it sufferd from poor soil and frequent bad weather. Some insurgents left over still caused problems. Besides mild civil tention Hoshino did all right.

Stilleståndö

Stilleståndö (or Truce Island) still had many problems with civil unrest and bloody violence. Communist rebels still loyal tried multpile times to stage a coup against the king on several occasions. The efforts were unsucessful and costly. Many civilans were killed in the crossfire and much of the beaches were being litterd with artilery.

Corona

Corona was doing well. Virtually no civil tention existed and the society was that of a near utopia. Corona was rulled more like small villages with a master cheif. It was at this time that Kino Turell was becoming chief.

Animalpolis

Animalpolis remained undesturbed from the outside and was of course a heaven for thoes that were the strange minority. This was the point when the leader of Animalpolis agreed to talk to the international community about the nature of this strange and mysterious island. He let a news crew film details about the island but it seemed to do little good for the island, as the documentry was paid little mind and wrote it off.

Protection Agreement

As civil tention died out, it seemed more strangers were nearing the coast lines. This had many people in the region nervous. One night a small group of Communist rebels spotted a ship nearing the coast. They had thought their brothers had returned, and attempted another coup. Fortunatley it was quickly squashed with no other injuries. On Aurora Shino was ofically made Duchess and she began to take a strong role in Government. Shino was fearing the strangers but was unsure what to do with it. During a routine fishing trip Shino was caught in a major storm and washed up on Kanami shores. She was rescued and taken to a hospital and treated. It was soon found out she was infact a Duchess of an island to the south. Shino was able to get a meeting with Prime Minister Elenore Romney and asked her if Kanami would be a Protector state to the islands. Shino went to great lenghts to convince her island neighbors to agree to this, but they did. Kanami's agreement gave the island autonomy and didn't interfer with their personal business. So long as they upheld their end of the bargin by preventing opressive regiemes.

War

The protection didn't last long. After a bitter first war with Stevid AHSCA became subject to more regional peacekeepers. This made the natives nervous, fearing these strange GDI peacekeepers would invade upon them. While the islands remained relatively undisturbed there were still several incidents with strange trespasses. Jets would ocassionaly fly over the islands and ships would come close to get a look at these mythical islands. This made people increasingly nervous, which lead to Kanami appeals to remove GDI personnel from the region. GDI refused which lead to more and more arguing which ultimatley led to the islands being invaded. Independent Hitmen landed on Aurora and took Shino prisoner. Shino peacefully protested the invasion demanding an explanation. She was given none and taken to a military prision. Shino recalls her time in the prison as a horrorific experience.

It was a helish cold dungon feel. Where I wasn't sure. I was stripped naked and put into a cell to bascially freeze. I was frightend for my life each time. I could tell the guards didn't like me but for reasons I wasn't sure.

By the time she was actually taken to a prison in IH she was treated better. She wasn't stripped or harassed but she still felt scared that she would be a POW for the rest of her life. Meanwhile Stevid took Hoshino and Truce Island, while RedTide 2 took Corona. On Truce several war crimes were being committed on a daily basis by the Knights Templar. Shinto preists were being hung for practicing their religion, and speaking out against the Knights. Several people were also killed in the shellings of the islands. The island malitas found themselves beaten by the juggernaughts of the Stevid armada. Corona as under the brutal dictorial state of RedTide2, hudreds were reported to be captured and shot on the spot. Meanwhile RT2 set it's sights on Animalpolis but found heavy resistance against the stealthy population and a confusing maze of caverns. A counter attack was mounted but a large hurricane forced them out and back to the negotiating tabel. By the time the war was over over 100,000 people were killed. Women and children amongst them. AHSCA has still long demanded justice but has felt the world has turned it's back on them. The Lord of Animalpolis has felt strongly of this:

Everyone is either seeking money, or is freindly with the GDI. Were just 5 small islands and no one gives a rats ass about us.

Culture

Island culture doesn't varrie that much from island to island, other than the language and mild customs. Because of the high tempratures year round nudity is very much tolerated if not encouraged. This can be especially evident in the southern villages of Animalpolis which tempratures can soar to 107° F (41° C) which entire villages will comonly go nude. This isn't as common as on the other islands as they are slightly farther north. Children usually gather in large groups to play games or swim.

On Corona a common custom when dating is to practice Courtship. Unlike traditional courtship however, a girl might ask a to Court a boy. It's quite common that girls might ask boys probably more so than in any other country that practices courtship in it's culture. On other islands many dates fall into the typical modern fassion, though courtship is just as common. Aurora is the second most common island to practice courtship. Coronan's don't keep calander time or even track hours of the day. They track by sun and that is it. They consider them selves to be timeless from birth to death. They do not keep track of age either.

Cleanliness is considered a vital thing. Some will have small baths inside their huts others will wash in the rain, or go to a hotspring in the jungle forests. It's pretty rare for anyone to not take a bath at days end. Some may even bathe 3-4 times a day. Some have attributed this to the Shinto masses which belive in cleanliness.

Religion isn't common but not unheard of. However there are very few traces of any Christian religion on the islands. Most are indiginous belifes or the common Shinto religion. Hoshino and Stilleståndö have the highest Shinto populations. Some villages in Animalpolis belive in two gods, Chronus (Which rougly translatest to time) and Idola. Chronus is said to preserve life in the locks of endless time while Idola bring suffering and distruction. Some tribes try to summon Idola to bring about the end of the world. This is evident during hurricanes or other sever storms. Rather than take shelter they stand in the storm and chant incantations that will bring about Idola. There is no offical name for this religion or belife some have called it Shuukyou of Kuchiku soshite Koi (Religion of Destruction and Love) On some of the other islands people either do not take the time to practice or simply just don't assosiate themselves with any religion. While some do identify as any Christian religion, it's pretty rare.

The literacy rate is pretty low, less than 1% of the population is literate.

Government

The Government of the islands is still rather fragile. Although it reflects a republic it still has practicing monarchy. Each Island is granted it's personal soverignty unless overuled by the Grand Leader. The Grand Leader is the presider of all the islands and can create a federal law by his/her self. There is no Parlimentry System or any other type of legislative body. It can be quite confusing when seen at first glance. The Grand Leader may also be the leader of the one Capital Island Aurora. The constitution does provide however the people can vote a person in as a seperate leader under the grandleader for Aurora. Whether or not this will happen is yet to be seen.

International Relations

Naturally as a result of the major war and the fact many alliances have turned them down, the islands are quite distrustful of other countries. International Relations are still fragile and AHSCA still seems to be wanting a low profile to prevent a second conquest by GDI. Shino knows pure isolation may not work, but she her self knows the results of being to well known. The islanders do not want a second protectorate pact after the failed first one.

Natural Hazards

The biggest natural hazard the islands face are hurricanes. Because many villagers still live in small huts they are at constant mercy of the weather. Hurricanes kill an average of 1,000-5,000 people a year, beacuse of lack of adequet shelter and storm surge.

Lightning also proves to be a major hazard. It's estimated more people die from lightning than hurricanes but this isn't certain. Because of the frequent time often spent in or near water even during thunder storms, there is a sever risk of people being struck or electrocuted.

Tsunamis while rare have been considered significant hazards. The waters near and around AHSCA are vocanically active there is signicant risk for tsunamis. The last known Tsunami killed over 500,000 people on Aurora.

Economy

At the present time AHSCA has no stabel or working economy. Much like a communist system, AHSCA doesn't allow for private enterprise or otherwise many see no real need too because they are rasing a family and gathering food. While flea markets exist and are quite common. The economy primarly relies on it's natural fishing

Upon the writing of the constitution a universal island credit was adpoted. How this credit will work out is still something to be determined. Many are predicting the islanders will ignore the currency and contiune in the tradtional flea-market style, and the currency will be given to tourists.

Food

The most common food for the islanders is obviously fish. Usually at diffrent points during the day, at high tide fish will be mass near the shores, more so than usuall circumstances. This makes for quick and bountiful gatherings for the end of the day supper. Fish is also pretty surplused when there is an approaching storm. In this event fish also come during both high and low tied.

Other foods include many types of citrus fruits, both sweet and soure. Mangos, bannas, peaches, and pineapple are regularly found on all the islands. They grow on the large palm trees scatterd through the interior of the island and some grow on small plants. Berries are also quite common, but are best following the monsoon seasons.

Rice while not quite as a common as the fruit or fish also may make up an islander's diet. Many islanders will enjoy a bowl full of steamed or polished white rice. Some may fry and create brown rice.
