Shaachrau

The Shaachrau Islets are a group of islands in Northern Archanta. Comprising of two major islands, the islets are divided between two political entities – the Kue People's Republic of Tucau and the Cinasian Mandate of Saukau. Located off the eastern coast of the Muinon Peninsula, the islets are located southeast of Kuehong and the east of Cinasia.

Settled by the Shaa people in 40,000 BC, the islets fell under the control of various Bai and Kue kingdoms and were annexed by the Ninwans in the 15th century. Administered as part of Bai Muinon, it became part of the Yuet Kingdom in the 17th century. The Yuet brutally suppressed all Shaa uprisings and isolated the island under its control. During the Muinon War, guerilla fighters of the Kuehong Free State and communist allies aided the locals to stage a successful uprising in 1931, leading to the establishment of the Shaa People's Republic.

Intercommunal violence among the Kue, Bai and Shaa communities led to the Federal States-backed coup and the establishment of the corrupt Chyy administration in 1945. With Chyy Gaopien's death and the resumption of communal violence in 1969, Cinasian and Kue forces intervened, escalating the Shaa Civil War. With an AN-backed ceasefire in 1977, the island was split into two. The islands continued to be claimed by both Cinasia and Kuehong, while the natives continued to push for their independence.
