Isla de San Pablo

La Isla de San Pablo (Nollish: Island of Saint Paul) is one of the major southerly islands of the Free Republic of Arbolada, and is its most prominent southern landmass. With a total land area of 720 miles (1159 km), measuring 38 miles (61 km) from north to south, and 33 miles (53 km) from east to west, it is the second largest island in the Arboladan archipelago, beaten only by the eponymous island of Arbolada. It lies proximal to the Strait of Maravan between Arbolada and Anargua, and is known for hosting both the city of Saint Paul and the Santana Naval and Air Base of the Armed Forces of Arbolada. The island of Saint Paul encapsulates the majority of the Saint Paul Parish, and is surrounded by a plethora of smaller islands and cays.

The island itself was historically settled by the Southern Kairuani tribes of the Kairuani peoples and fell into Evrosan colonial administration during the age of exploration and colonization. However, the invasion of the southerly islands of Arbolada by the Nolton Empire in 224 CC brought the island under Nollish jurisdiction, where it was converted into a massive sugarcane and tobacco plantation island. The present Kairuani and Zanobian slaves were gradually replaced with imported indentured slaves of Shandic heritage, making the island heavily Shandic in demographics and culture. During rule under the Eunomian Federal Socialist Republic, the Santana Naval and Air Base was constructed on the southern portion of the island as a means of power projection into the Maravan Sea proper and the North Hyperian Ocean.
