Satoaika

Satoaika is a fictional archipelago and sovereign entity created for use in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing settings. It is described as lying in temperate waters of the northern seas, composed of twelve main islands and numerous smaller islets, with volcanic interiors on several islands. The terrain ranges from forested highlands to mangrove-fringed coasts, and the climate is maritime with mild winters and warm summers.

Satoaika operates as a constitutional parliamentary republic. The president serves as a largely ceremonial head of state, while an elected legislature selects a prime minister who heads the government. Local administrations on the larger islands manage regional affairs.

The population is around 1.2 million. The majority ethnic group is the Satoaikan, with communities from neighboring archipelagos. The official language is Satoaikan, with minority languages such as Aongan and Treval spoken in coastal communities. The culture features seafaring traditions, crafts such as woven textiles, and a maritime harvest festival that marks seasonal transitions.

The economy relies on fisheries, aquaculture, forestry, tourism, and light manufacturing. Renewable energy projects, including wind and tidal power, are expanding. The archipelago includes several protected areas that conserve coral reefs and migratory routes, while ports and logistics facilities support regional trade.
