Northern Isle's Province is a province located in Slokais Islands, Although one of the largest by size, Northern Isle has the smallest population due to much of the province including uninhabited island possessions.

History

Before the arrival of settlers, the Northern Isles were inhabited by a number of tribes such as the Islayas people, the Islayas built fishing settlements as well as a number of stone structures related to their religion To-Keng or "way of being". The largest of these is located near Kirkwall and consists of 18 stone pillars leading to the highest point in the Northern Isles, Mt Jiaxiang. In 837, settlers of the White Flower Temple established a walled settlement on Kirkwall Island. They converted most of the local population to Minjian and built a temple on top of Mt Jianxing. During the Medieval period, the islands were taken by the Hman Knights, and a city was built on what's now Kirkwall. The Costeno authority largely ignored the islands until the 1820s when the first waves of settlers from Sanctaria arrived. These settlers created the Northern Isles Territory that joined the greater Dominion of Slokais in 1834. The islands became a territory of the country of Slokais Islands in 1890.

The Richmont Island Rebellion

In 1893 on Richmont Island, rural farmers and fishermen got tired of paying taxes on exports of supplies so they went to the Richland Township buildings and buried them to the ground, They then collected $40,000 from a local bank. In response a militia was formed by the Provincial Government and up to this point, the federal government could not respond. The Northern Isles Militia eventually captured or killed all rebels, burning the town of Leewell in the process, they then executed the leaders and began a 2-year occupation of the island. This event showed how the federal government could act on local issues.

Demographics

Northern Isles is the most ethnically homogeneous province in Slokais Islands. This is due to limited migration to the province and limited settlement. Despite this, it has the largest percentage of people with Haesanite ancestry, as of 2022, 17.4%.
