Federal State of Higashiyama-Delhurst

The Domain of Higashiyama-Delhurst is a part of Vinacada, which itself is part of the Third Ombrian Republic.

Brief History

The Domain of Higashiyama-Delhurst was formed on July 28th, when the formerly independent Principality of Delhurst untied with Fortisola to form the State of Vinacada within the Third Ombrian Republic. During this time, Delhurst was renamed to Higashiyama, and the state renamed to Higashiyama-Delhurst. Delhurtian culture not only continued but flourished, and new islands claimed and the state expanded. 2 New islands were added to the domain, Pienensburg, and Ishijima.

The government of Higashiyama-Delhurst retains its co-principality system that is used during the Principality of Delhurst, however, the Co-Principality has been renamed as a Noble House to fit in with the Vinacada government structure. Higashiyama is one of the larger states and wealthier states within the state of Vinacada.

The Islands

The Domain of Higashiyama-Delhurst is made of 3 islands. Higashiyama, Pienensburg, and Ishijima. Higashiyama is the main island, where most of the development and economy is centred, as well as where the entire population of Higashiyama-Delhurst resides in. The island of Pienensburg, named in honour of Pienaric, the former minister for War, is being developed into an island resort, with Bar Varsova constructed and several more attractions planned or under construction. On Pienensburg, you can visit the bar, swim in the ocean, or go splunking in the splunking cave.

The island of Ishijima is the largest and least developed out of all of the islands. It is an artificial island, and is still under construction. Ishijima is planned to house the current Delhurtian honey industry, as well as several new villages and a temple complex for the Delhurtian religion of Krumism.

Political Climate

The Domain of Higashiyama-Delhurst is one of the most politically unstable states. Uniting with the Third Ombrian Republic under Vinacada was very unpopular with the general population, leading to protests, riots, and even a small civil war between the Pro-Unionists and the Anti-Unionists. The Civil War ended when Ombrian Peacekeepers entered the state, quelling the violence. Still, around 90% of the population is against the Third Ombrian Republic, and there have been calls for independence and revolt against the Ombrian State, which may cause issues in the future...
