The '''
The islands were inhabited by the Kōhatuan people, a branch of the West Polynesian family for hundreds of years. They share a close ancestry and relationship with the other people of Polynesia. They share similar religious beliefs and a language, the Kōhatuan language (the official language).

== History ==
{{Main|History of the Oan Isles}}
===Great Arrival===
Before circa 1000 CE (1 [[Oan Lunar Calendar|BU]]), the Kohatu Isles were uninhabited. But when [[Ahua the Great]] became the [[Rangitanga-a-te-Moana]] of the Oan Isles, he purged that nation of adherents of folk religions. The introduction of [[Thaerism]] and the persecution of traditional folk religions, drove ardent adherents to seek a better life elsewhere. Thus, South West Pacific Islanders in the territory that eventually fell under rule of Ahua the Great and became part of the Oan Isles began migrating to the uninhabited Strathepole Archipelago straddling the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]] and [[Caven Sea]] including the Kohatu Isles.
Line 94 ⟶ 95:
== Geography ==
{{Main|Geography of the Oan Isles}}The area of the Kohatu Isles comprises 3 islands spanning approximately
▲The area of the Kohatu Isles comprises 3 islands spanning approximately 20,000 square kilometres. The largest of which is Gemica, followed in size by Stonica then Jewelica. The country lies between the Caven and Morstaybishlian Seas. As an island nation, it has a large exclusive economic zone over waters many times the size of its land territory.
The islands generally have a low lying topography. The highest mountain is only 670 metres above sea level. Despite which, the inland terrain has a hilly topography. The coastal areas are low lying and covered with white sandy beaches. On the coasts, salt water mangrove forests thrive, the largest of which are on Gemica island. In land forests are mostly tropical boreal forests.
Line 108:
== Politics ==
{{Main|Politics of the Oan Isles}}The politics of the Kohatu Isles take place in the framework of a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy. The ''Constitution of the Kohatu Isles'' ([[Wikipedia:Maori language |Oan]]: ''Kaupapa Ture o Nga Motuere Kohatu'') is the supreme law of the Kohatu Isles. It sets up the structure of the government and protects the fundamental rights of the people. However, the constitution explicitly gives the [[Politics of the Oan Isles|government of the Oan Isles]] various responsibilities and roles in Kohatuan political life which ''de facto'' makes the Kohatu Isles a dependent territory of [[the Oan Isles]].
The Oan Isles has tried to project the image that the Kohatu Isles is an independent nation that forms part of a greater [[Polynesia|Polynesian civilisation]] that the Oan Isles is a leader of (such as including it as a member state of the [[Polynesian Union]]), but international customary law recognizes the Kohatu Isles as a dependant territory. Part of this is a ploy to showcase Polynesia as a unique multi-cultural and multi-national civilisation that implicitly includes Polynesian people in [[Justelvard]], [[Lapimuhyo]] and the [[Morstaybishlian West Pacific Territories]].
Line 123:
===Foreign relations===
{{Main|Foreign relations of the Oan Isles}}The foreign relations of the Kohatu Isles are administered by the [[Foreign relations of the Oan Isles#Oversight|Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Oan Isles]], currently [[Arana Marama]] under the [[Politics of the Oan Isles#Executive|Council of Ministers of the Oan Isles]] and by extension, the Prime Minister of the Oan Isles, currently, [[Maui Uye-Ahua]]. Nevertheless, the Minister of External Affairs of the Kohatu Isles can counsel the Oan Foreign minister on foreign affairs insofar as they relate to the Kohatu Isles.. The two offices meet regularly to ensure that Kohatuan interests are represented in Oan Foreign policy. The Minister of External Affairs manages interactions with foreign nations that fall within the powers afforded to them by Oan foreign policy more broadly such as student and cultural exchanges. However, they are not on charge of immigration, treaties and international organizations, diplomacy and so on, as the government of the Oan Isles administers this on their behalf.
The Kohatu Isles is thus subject to and part of the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]]. Although it does not have any decision-making powers in that body, the High Representative for the Kohatu Isles, currently Topaz Hapene forms part of the Office of the Councillor of the UNAC for the Oan Isles presently Iparema Huinga. Further, is is part of the [[Kirib Monetary Union]] under the Oan Isles. There is no Kohatuan participation in this body at all. As part of the Oan Isles, it is represented in the [[International Forum]], [[Peacekeeping Forces of Urth]] and [[IRSA|Intercontinental Regional Security Accords]]. The Kohatu Isles has a close relationship with [[Peregrinia]] as their closest neighbor and biggest partner in the petroleum extraction industry. The East Gemica-Kohatu Dialogue facilitates discussion and coordination between the two countries especially with regard to emergency response, migration, marine life and oil resources.
===Administrative divisions===
{{Main|Administrative divisions of the Oan Isles}}[[File:Administrative divisions of the Kohatu Isles.png|thumb|Administrative divisions of the Kohatu Isles]]
The Kohatu Isles is a unitary state, so the central government has all the decision-making and political power. However, it is subdivided into
===Military===
{{Main|Oan Defence Forces}}The defence of the Kohatu Isles is the responsibility of the Oan Isles. Thus, the [[Military of the Oan Isles]] is responsible for the defence of the Kohatu Isles. The Oan military is under the political leadership of Minister of Defence, General [[Oahuoa Uye]]. The Malachite Military Base is the hub of the Oan military presence in the Kohatu Isles.
There, the 178th and 133rd Infantry Batallions, 76th and 34th Artillery Batallions, 27th and 48th Flight Squadron and the 8th Military Health Formation are located in the Kohatu Isles. They are under the command of Lieutenant General Hanoru Ngahere. In total there are 7,000 service members and support staff, 7 commissioned vessels, and 65 aerial combat units located in the Kohatu Isles. The Kohatu Military Training Academy is located on Jewelica 13km from Pounamupa. It receives 1,200 applications every year, accepts 930 students and about 453 pass on time. 67% of the candidates are Kohatuan, however 59% of the forces stationed in the Kohatu Isles are Oans.
Line 139:
== Economy ==
{{Main|Economy of the Oan Isles}}The economy of the Kohatu Isles was dominated by the corporate interests and political allies of the Diamond Authority that once ruled the islands. Competition was stifled and large monopolies rested in the hands of the political elite. This presented issues when the country was liberated from the Diamond Authority because many critical sectors were under the control of their cronies and families. ▼
▲The economy of the Kohatu Isles was dominated by the corporate interests and political allies of the Diamond Authority that once ruled the islands. Competition was stifled and large monopolies rested in the hands of the political elite. This presented issues when the country was liberated from the Diamond Authority because many critical sectors were under the control of their cronies and families.
The Kōhatuan and Oan governments are working together to bring these companies under the control of the new democratic government. Moreover, the rule of the Diamond Authority brought corruption and many people occupy positions for which they are not qualified. As part of the reforms, skilled technicians and professionals from the Oan Isles were brought in to provide training, expel incompetent and illegally appointed officials, cut wasteful expenditure and terminate unethically appointed and useless suppliers.
Line 166 ⟶ 165:
Native Kohatuans are actually mixed race between Caven and Oan people and they inherited the culture, language and ancestry of both nations which in turn evolved over time into a single ethnic group. They comprise 82% of the population, 12% are Oan and 4% come from other nations.
===Urbanisation===
76% of the population live in urban areas while 34% live in rural areas. The top
===Education===
97% of the population is literate. 93% completed primary school. 85% completed high school and 21% completed tertiary education. The largest university is the University of the Kohatu Isles was established in 1987 by the Diamond Authority. The Kohatuan Department of Education administers education policy. The [[University of Tokapa]] maintains an agreement with the University College of Akatepa to award degrees taught by that institution in its name. The University of Anapa has a similar arrangement with the University College of Pounamupa. High schools follow their own curriculum which is gradually being replaced by the Oan Standard Secondary Education Curriculum to make them better eligible to enter Oan universities. Of the 56,000 in tertiary education in the Kohatu Isles, 17% are self-funded, 23% are on a student loan, 39% are funded by the Government of the Kohatu Isles, 16% are funded by corporate bursaries, 15% are funded by universities. 75% of students are doing an undergraduate qualification.
