The Dominion of the Lorradine Islands is a small nation located in the Pacific Ocean. It is comprised of about forty islands. Of these islands, five are inhabited: Ōhanu, Ti‘ano, Lokahāne, Miloka, and Halekūla, in descending order of population. The nation's capital, Āluhana, is located on Ōhanu, the largest island.

The nation is a liberal, freedom-loving nation and a fairly popular tourist destination. Despite the widespread adoption of the Englich language, the Dominion is one of few former Englich colonies that did not by and large accept Englich culture, preferring instead the so-called "simple life", characterized by a lack of general adoption of modern technology, a domestically based economy, and unusually permissive social mores.

The Lorradines have a military of about 10,000. The nation declared neutrality in 1722, shortly after it gained its independence, and since then has only fought in defensive wars.

OOC history

The Lorradines were originally known as "Pacificina", but that name died and the nation was recreated under a better, more pronounceable name.
