Sandao

"Not to be confused with Sandea."Sandao (Chinese: 三島省; pinyin: Sāndǎo shěng) is a state in Tseng. It's Tseng's only island state. Its capital and largest city is Callentown.

Sandao means "three islands" in Chinese and those three islands are: Sanjiao Island, Jingwu Island, and Dahu Island.

History
The islands of Sandao were first inhabited by indigenous people. The first European contact was the Spanish, who landed on Sanjiao Island in 1753. They created a colony, Spanish Sanjiao. Spanish Sanjiao was handed over to the British in 1755.

The Jingwu and Dahu islands wouldn't be developed until the 1840s. They were first spotted by the French in 1778.

During the Japanese years, Sandao was called Sanshima Prefecture. This would be the predecessor to Sandao. Once Tseng achieved independence, Sandao was administered as a county under Nankou state. However, there was a chance that Sandao could have become its own state as early as 1950, due to its economic powers and unique culture. Unfortunately, after WWII to 1955, Sandao's population dropped rapidly, from a 408,281 in 1945 to a 192,333 in 1955, mainly due to corruption. Sandao County's premier, Adam Luo, ruled Sandao with an iron fist that made Sandao lose possible state status and made Sandao lag years behind Tseng.

In 1970, Sandao County was divided into two: Sanjiao County in the western largest island while Jingwu and Dahu Islands were grouped as Zhuzhou County.

On January 1, 1984, Sandao State was created.

Geography
Sanjiao Island (三角島), literally 'Triangle Island' is located in the west of Sandao and it is the largest and most populated of the three islands. The capital Callentown is located on the northern end of the island.
