The '''Protected Isolate of the Aakkan Territory''' is the name the lands |
The '''Protected Isolate of the Aakkan Territory''' is the name the lands on the continent of Sempiterna belonging to the Aakka People under the protection and guarantee of the [[International Forum]], as well as separately by [[Vistaraland]]. While the lands are formally under these protections, the Aakkan administer it completely autonomously, with the [[International Forum|IF]] preserving their voluntary isolation by the means of covert non-participant observation in coordination with the Hegelwoud Society of Interpretivist Thought, a sociological research foundation under Verian-West University. |

According to archaeological records, whilst most early [[Cava]] - having evolved from Treeclaw - fled north across the land bridge into [[Aurora]] following the freezing of Sempiterna, some were left isolated and forced to adapt to the increasingly harsh and cold environment of the continent, slowly returning to a carnivorous lifestyle due to the unviability of agriculture, sustaining on fish, krill and other marine life. They soon began gradually developing a rudimentary culture and language around the northern coast - outlining territory by forming paths from the sea to their communal settlements, in what scientists have called S'''noways'''. (colloquially "snowterways") |

The isolated community was discovered by Vistari Explorer Matthias |
The isolated community was discovered by Vistari Sempiternaic Explorer Captain Matthias Drieszoon Hagelwoud in 1612, who referred to them as the Aakkan, 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 reigning 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 Haglewoud Family continuing to bear the title of Lord-Protector of the territory to this day. |
