Sandao

"Not to be confused with Sandia or Sanjiao Island."Sandiao (Chinese: 三島省; pinyin: Sāndǎo shěng) or Sandao is a state in Tseng. It's Tseng's only island state and the least populous state. Its capital and largest city is Callentown.

Sandiao means "three islands" in Chinese and those three islands are: Sanjiao Island, Jingwu Island, and Dahu Island (often combined with Jingwu).

History
The islands of Sandiao was first inhabited by the indigenous peoples. 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, Sandiao was called Sanshima Prefecture. This would be the predecessor to Sandiao. After WWII to 1955, Sandiao's population dropped rapidly, from a 408,281 in 1945 to a 192,333 in 1955. The reason was corruption. Sandiao County (under Nankou jurisdiction)'s premier, Adam Luo, ruled Sandiao with an iron fist that made Sandiao lose possible state status and made Sandiao lag years behind Tseng.

On January 1, 1984, Sandiao State was created.
