'''Hvaloaszna''', officially the '''Akuan Federal Republic of Hvaloaszna''' is a country on far-west [[Yasteria]] and the island chain is located in [[Rotantic Ocean]]. The country is made up of three islands, which distinct culture due to his history of colonization by the Borean Trading Company (Z'rei), [[Norgsveldet]] and [[Vistaraland]]. [[Vistari Kabeiland|Vistari colonization in Kabeiland]] - the easternmost island of modern day Hvaloaszna, has been suggested by experts as the most environmentally destructive due to measures taken to maximize the extraction of natural resources. Such policies, which continue to affect the region's ecology today, coincided with the seizing of land and cultural artefacts - marking what some experts refer to as a cultural genocide far more severe than the later [[Akuan Atrocities]] undertaken by Norgsveltian officals in the 20th century. Hvaloaszna's official language is [[Nys'tat'en]] at a federal level, with the recognized national languages of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_language Norgsveltian] on the most western island, as well as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_language Vistarian] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_language Vorpestian] in Kabeiland. The largest cities being spread across the Western and Central island, with a majority of the Eastern island being more rural.
The early inhabitants of the isles came from southern [[Borea]], specifically the Ny'Akøhav cultural group estimated sometime during the 318 BC establishing a fishing and farming communities. Salt being discovered in the 339BC, later the various city-states and villages came together to form a confederation of isles in 510 BC. The confederation came to a end in 1710 AD, after the three trading companies from [[Norgsveldet]], [[Vistaraland]] and the Borea Trading Company ([[Zreiru'a]]) divided the isles between themselves. Later [[Norgsveldet]] outright buying ownership of the other two islands and later annexed the Norgsveltian Borean Trading Company in 1750. The isles was renamed to Hvaloaszna due a mistranslation by a Norgsveltian officer, and the colony was designated for exploitation rather than transitioning towards a settler colony. After the [[Akuan Atrocities]], the colony was granted independence in a rapid fashion, leading to a period of administrative confusion.
== History ==
=== Iron Age, Settlement and Confederation Era ===
Early settlement by Akuanists from the Southern reaches of Borean, began in the late iron age estimated to be around 317 BC with ships landing on the middle island searching for tin and copper mining deposits. Later expanding out their foothold in the island chain by settling on the other two islands in 327 BC. While minerals were never discovered between the three islands, the land was rich and the seas nearby were noted to be full of fish, in tablets sent back to
Salt was later discovered on the central island in 339 BC, making it into an important trade hub through the region. The settlement that harvest the salt from the nearby mine being the foundations for the city of Skiendore. Salt trade brought in new amounts of wealth and trade to the trio of islands with the central island collecting most of the wealth from the trade, while the other two lagged in comparison. The collection of city-states mostly formed a government around the merchants that traded the salt and the Brewmasters of the cities. City states eventually came together in a confederation in the late 510 BC, to formed a unified front in protecting their trade of whaling and salt. The Confederation lasted until the 1710 AD, where the combined might of the Borean Trading Company, Norgsveltian Borean Trading Company and Vistari Colonial Company forced the dissolution of the confederation according to the Treaty of Non-Compliance and Commerce. The Confederation was made up of brewmasters and elected figures (often the merchants within the cities) to form the government. The Confederation required unanimous consent by all brewmasters and representatives within the congress to pass or create laws for the Confederation.

The Norgsveltian Borean Trade Company was the second of the major companies to venture into Hvaloazna in 1650, though was least successful among the three as most of its attention was placed into building up their gains in modern day Rikevaarland. It was heavily dependent on the Imperial Realms Navy to force the Confederation to give concessions to the Company, mainly in the aspect of getting trade access to western island and to allow its ports for Norgsveltian navy’s usage. By the 1670s Norgsveltian Borean Trade Company had full control of the island, in all but name. But was dependent on the Norgsveltian monarch to keep hold of it.
The Vistari Colonial Company arrived on the eastern island in 1651, overtaking strategic ports in order to monopolize exports. While the colony was nominally successful, overtaking a large portion of the island, it was notably only a passing interest
=== 1700s ===
In the 1750s, the Norgsveltian Borean Trade Company made a move to buy out the assets from the other two competing corporations. With the Borean Trading Company suffering budget cuts due to its bloated military spending in keeping its main colony in [[Nystatiszna]]. Thus the move to sell the unprofitable colony was quick to accept the offer from the Norgsveltian Company, hoping to cut their losses and refocus efforts on primary colony. Later the offer was extended towards the VCC which they quickly accepted to leave the island for the Norgsveltian crown to deal with, having carelessly extracted the majority of its remaining wealth and sold it off more than the land was now worth.
It was noted that NBTC, didn't send any teams to survey the other two islands, instead they relied on reports from the other two trading companies despite informing the Norgsveltian Crown other wise. Both the BTC and the VCC drastically falsified reports about the colonies. With the BTC reporting the salt mines was still in production despite the mines themselves having to be closed due to flooding at the time of the sell. The VCC, reported on having several copper mines on the island, sending along photos from colonies in north [[Gondwana]] as well as ore samples from the colony. The VCC never
When the NBTC questioned the BTC about the flood mines after the sell. The BTC said the mines was in operable condition when they left and suggest it was native sabotage. After a investigation, the mine was flooded for nearly two years before the sell and the BTC simply didn't remove the water due to it being to high of a cost of pumping the mine clear. The NBTC went to the BTC with this information in which the BTC official stated that all deals are final and left the meeting.

By 1890, at the request of the Norgsveltian Crown. Gerjik Torjskdal reformed the colonial laws in Sentrik and Kabeilland in which he gave limited autonomy. In which Brewmasters from both islands were allowed to propose laws to the Colonial Council that was ruling Crown Colony. Though only one law proposed by the Brewmasters was accepted, which was one that changed the name of Sentrik Island back to its native name of Ny'Akøy'En'Hvit Krystall

==== Textiles ====
=== Agriculture ===
Valoasan's largest crops is rice, sugar beets and cotton which acts primary exports in to the [[North Concordian Economic Forum|NCEF]] and to the [[Federation of the Southern Coast|Federation]]. The policy of agricultural use has divided up between the three islands, however primary island for farming being the central island due to the Eastern island having it's nutrient depleted by the period of Vistari Colonial Company rule. The Western Island, formally had a large amount farmland however the industrialization process that took happen on the island took significantly effort that replaced the traditional farming methods translating into a more manufactory based economy.
==== Fishing and Whaling ====
The Whaling industry has been a core part of Hvaloaszna diet and culture since the settlement period of the country.
