Warsiene Islands

The Warsiene Islands (officially the United Commonwealth of the Warsiene Islands) is the 11th state of Carolina and the only state to be created from a former territory, having received statehood on April 11, 1963. The Warsiene Islands are often considered the southernmost state in Carolina and are often considered to be the only Carolinian state in the Caribbean. The Warsiene Islands are also the only state of Carolina not located on continental North America. The capital, Nij Heide is often considered the business capital of the Caribbean. The Warsiene Islands are a part of the Eastern Time Zone and recognize daylight savings time.

The state covers the entire Warsiene Islands archipelago and officially covers all islands west of the South Floridian island of Key West. There are more than 35 islands inside of the state, however the main islands are Hilliege Thomas and Hilliege Joseph. Hilliege Joseph is the largest island and also the most populated island, with Nij Heide located on the northern side.

The culture of the Warsiene Islands is a mix of both Carolinian, Freigan, and Caribbean cultures (particularly the Cuban culture). Until the 1960's the culture of the Warsiene Islands highly resembled Florida and the rest of Carolina. However extensive immigration from Cuba and other Caribbean Countries such as the Dominican Republic has brought large amounts of Spanish and Caribbean influence to the islands. The Warsiene Islands also have a strong tourist presence which has changed the culture over the last 50 years.

The Warsiene Islands is the 2nd least populated state, with only Qualla having a lower population. The state also is the 2nd smallest in land area, with Qualla being the smallest. However, the Warsiene Islands have the highest population density of any Carolinian state. Hilliege Joseph is the most populated with a density rate of 1310 people per square mile.
