Noreleho Islands



The Noreleho Islands, commonly known simply as the Norelehos, are a group of islands northeast of mainland Pua in Taatiklatar. They consist of three main islands, and several smaller minor islands and rocks. Politically, they are part of Pua province and Noreleho Region.

History
The Norelehos were first explored and settled in C.Y. 36, by a group of people originally from Vargasville, Pua, who were supposedly angry about the results of a recent mayoral election in the city. They founded Port Noreleho, giving it its name via a contraction of the Puan words "norete" (meaning north) and "lehose" (meaning far.) It was originally marketed as a getaway destination for wealthy Taatiklarians or Puans, but its unappealing climate turned many away. By the time of the C.Y. 85 Puan annexation referendum, fifty cypriot years later, the population of the island chain had only grown to about 1100. The small population of the Norelehos voted overwhelmingly against Puan reunification with Taatiklatar, but the overall referendum narrowly passed in favor of reunification.

Geography and Climate
The Noreleho Islands are rugged islands that form parts of the West Gematia Ocean Seamount Chain along with nearby Pua and several other large islands and island chains. They have a warm subtropical climate, with some of the lowest temperature variation throughout the year in the entirety of Taatiklatar due to their oceanic location and relatively southern latitude. They receive lots of precipitation throughout the year as well.
