History
The Outer Islands of Liverpool England, were first discovered in 1967. People first settled on the Outer Islands in the late 2080s, and the first Liverpool England presence on the islands was in the early 2120s. By 2140 the islands had become an outer territory of the country.
A democratic revolt in 2144 by the Parti populaire ad'ihanais against the territorial minority government of the National Centrist Board resulted in the Federal Parliament hearing a bill to resolve the crisis, and it was suggested that a separate protectorate be formed. A referendum was held amongst residents of Ad'ihan, and passed with 71% of voters agreeing to a new protectorate, which was to come into effect 1 October 2143, originally to be governed directly from CCL with a view to later self-governance.
After fresh fighting broke out on 15 October, the Federal Government announced that it would let the protectorate become a fully self-governing nation, and this took effect three days later.
Name
The name Ad'ihan was chosen for the protectorate based on its location in the city of Ad'ihan. No considerations were made at the time as to the potential confusion of using the same name as the city. To make things worse, the capital city of the protectorate was also named Ad'ihan.
Official language
The official language of Ad'ihan is English. French and Ad'ihan Creole are also spoken, and enjoy equal status as English in the country, but are not recognised as official languages. All signage in the country, where appropriate, are printed in all three languages.
