Kernsport, officially the Crown Colony of Cyber Island, is a small colony of the Brettish Isles located off the southwestern coast of Keltia, in the Cyber-Island Chain.

Geography

Cyber Island is one of several small islands comprising the Cyber-Island Chain, an archipelago off the southwestern coast of Keltia, east of Lyrica, and north of the Skerry Isles.

History

Kernsport was established on the ancient ruins of Kernsopolis, the old capitol of Cyberia, once one of the most advanced nations of Micras and also one of the oldest. After the fall of Cyberia the island was taken over by the nomadic tribes of Chelkran Kesh, who were subjects of Gralus. The Chelkrans occupied the islands for several centuries, but as a nomadic tribe did little to develop the region. As one of the outlying islands, Kernsopolis lost its place as a major economic center and fell into disrepair. Eventually it was abandoned, sprouting several hamlets out of the surrounding suburbs. The bay area along the eastern shore became Kernsport.

Government

Cyber Island is a crown colony of the Brettish Isles. As such, the head of state is the Brettish Monarch, currently King Landon. The King appoints the Governor, although this is typically a local politician of high standing. The power of the Governor is checked by an Executive Council that is elected by the islanders.

Foreign relations

As a colony of the Brettish Isles, Kernsport does not conduct its own foreign relations. All treaties and international agreements must be negotiated through Westminster.
