The Hackleberry Islands, officially designated as The Peaceful Republic of the Hackleberry Islands, is a country located east of the mainland of Kennan, located to the south of the Sandwich Territories, to the west of The Bagel Lands and The Pie in the Sky, and to the east of Ethan Foley, located on the mainland. The nation is an island archipelago consisting of 5 major islands (Technically, there are 8, but the smaller islands of the Tide Isles are conglomerated into a single island, due to their size).
The nation was formed in 1866 after citizens who had migrated from the nearby Sandwich Territories wanted to govern themselves due to a very strong sense nationalism. The Sandwich Territories allowed the citizens independence, and the Hackleberry Islands was founded on July 26th, 1866. The government was founded under Jean-Louis Blueberry, the primary lobbyist for independence, and the political system was established shortly after. The Hackleberry Islands and the Sandwich Territories have since remained very close allies and signed a permanent peace treaty in 1869. The channel located between the two nations has since been named "The Sandberry Channel".
The nation, like neighboring Samukan, is a federal presidential republic, headed by the legislative Hackleberry Islands Senate & Roll House, the Judicial System, and the Presidental System. The economic system is heavily socialist, and mildly regulated by the government. Taxation is at 10% of citizens' yearly income; The government allows the people to choose where their taxes go. A large amount goes to education, environmental services, healthcare, and public services, with lesser amounts going to industry and manufacturing.
The Hackleberry Islands have an extremely varied climate over an area no more than 300 miles from the Sandberry Channel to the southern tip of the Tide Isles (north to south).
