Comona Islands

The Comona Islands are an archipelago state of Ed Island located to the immediate north, in the same island chain as Snowjave and the Culldrome Isles. One of the most populated states of Ed Island, the Comona Islands are known for being the location of Comona Base, the primary launch facility for the Astronaut Corps.

History
The Comona Islands had been under Frankterran colonial rule until 1878, when Imperial Ed forces invaded the territory during the Franko-Pruscan War, 'liberating' the archipelago and claiming it as a territory of Ed Island.

In 1960, the Comona Islands were officially granted statehood within Ed Island. Officially this was because of a territory-wide vote to become so, but politically it streamlined much of the processes in constructing EIAC and nuclear research facilities within the islands.
