Jari (island)

Jari is an uninhabited and heavily militarized island located between Hangala and Obanacia that is divided between the both countries. It was previously used as a bridge between the two countries, and its landscape and greenness makes the island prohibited to be permanently settled by anyone under laws of both countries.

Jari is one of the only land borders in the Nesionytan Islands. Several military bases were established in the island, and travel to the island is heavily restricted. In 2014, there were calls by the hardline Nutaderrami group Kholat Jaminda Nutaderramin to end all military activity and remove all troops from the island.

History
Jari has always been an uninhabited island, at the time mainly for religious reasons. It was believed that the island was the home of the Nutaderrami god of land, Tizikhat. Many of the religious Nutaderramis want to preserve the island's nature and prohibit anyone from living there. Several Obanacian kingdoms banned anyone from visiting the island.

In 1789, the Hajor Kingdom lifted the ban on visiting the Jari island, which spawned outcry from the Nutaderramis, and later the decision was reversed. In 1901, the ban was lifted again, but only as a land bridge to go from Obanacia to Hangala and vice versa. For years, the island had remained unadministered by Obanacia.

On November 1, 1970, at an invasion attempt by Hangala, half of Jari was conquered by them, which led to Obanacia annexing the other half of the island to prevent further conquest, creating a land border between the both countries. Both sides established military bases among the border and completely banned anyone from visiting the island until 2002, when Jari was reopened for tourism and journalism.
