== History ==
According to archaeological records, whilst most early [[Cava]] - having evolved from Treeclaw - fled north into [[Aurora]] following the freezing of Sempiternica, some were left isolated and forced to adapt to the harsh cold environments, returning to a carnivorous lifestyle, sustaining on fish and developing a rudimentary culture and language - outlining territory by forming paths from the sea to their communal settlements, in what foreigners have called ''snoways''.▼
=== Pre-Discovery ===
The isolated community was discovered by Vistari Explorer Matthias D. Hagelwoud in 1612, who referred to them as the Aakan, after a native word which is now believed to simply mean 'No'. Hagelwoud wrote a report on the population using non-participant observation, before campaigning Emperor Frederick II 'the Patron' to offer his protection to the land's unique scientific opportunity. Such a protection was granted, and renewed by the [[International Forum|IF]] in 1923 after making agreements with [[Vistaraland]], with the Heglewoud Family continuing to bear the title of Lord-Protector of the territory to this day.▼

== Political status and governance ==
=== Aakkan Governance ===
Though the territory is nominally a possession of the [[International Forum]] and the Hegelwoud Estate, outside of a few research facilities which operate in the interior - away from the Aakka people - the territory is ''de facto'' owned and ran by the Aakka themselves, under a system of collective leadership, believed to be similar to direct democracy, with continued attendance to a community meeting being considered a vote in favour whilst leaving or being absent is seen as a vote against the meeting's motion. Some individuals perform a ritual of attending the meeting before immediately leaving once the topic of discussion has been announced, which is believed to be a showing of strong disapproval of the motion in question, as well as indicating their intentional absence.
=== IF Administration ===
Described in the 1923 Aakkan Treaty (formally the "''Treaty on the Continual Protection and Voluntary Isolation of the Aakkan Territory''"), the protection of the territory and its inhabitants, as well as the coordination of research within and around the territory falls under the jurisdiction of the [[International Forum|IF]] Aakan High Commission. The Aakan High Commission prohibits unauthorized travel within the territory and its Maritime Exclusion Zone (MEZ) of five nautical miles (9.26 km), and is the sole institution able to grant permission for researchers to enter and move within the territory to ensure the maintaining of the voluntary isolation of autonomy of the Aakka People.
The Commission is led by an appointed High Commissioner, who serves until they resign or are recalled by the Secretary General of the International Forum, and is appointed by either the Secretary General or Chairperson of the IFSC, though the word of the former may supersede the latter as the position is accountable to the Secretary General. The current High Commissioner is Dr, Freida Hildadochter Dirkheim of [[Vistaraland]]. Under the High Commissioner are several departments, organized to coordinate the duties of the IF - alongside the Office of Energy, Science and Water Management - outlined in the Aakkan Treaty, including the patrolling of the MEZ and ensurement of proper conduct of researchers whilst in the proximity of the Aakka people.
