Celestial Islands

The Celestial Islands are an archipelago of islands in the continent of Parania, having maritime borders to Cagneux and Dalamatia to the north and the Pasian country of Peisybaku to the south, making it quite between the two continents. The island is chiefly based on the Azores in real life. The country is home to 230,000 people, making it one of the least populous countries in Parania, as well as being over 1,260km long, making it stretch down close to the port of Sakih in Peysibaku and stretch up to Windsure in Balyshel. The main religion is Catholicism with over 97% of the population following the religion, the other 3% following Sunni Muslim which is prominent in the south of the archipelago. The island is known for its century-old cathedrals, folk food like grilled fish, clams, lobster, and pork sandwiches, and many boat markets. Despite being much more south then The Celestial Islands and closer to the equator, Peisybaku tends to have much more snow, rain, and cooler weather then the Celestial Islands due to its abundance of mountains (The Peisybaku Mountains).
== Culture ==
The culture is based around Roman Catholicism, though there are considerable secular traditions meaning anyone can contribute to them. Some include many statues of The Virgin Mary, which is, of course, a Catholic tradition, while others include fishing, knitting and candle making. Many of the churches there welcome anyone of any religion to enter and worship their faith in peace. The island is known to be a peaceful island.
== Flora and Fauna ==
The Celestial Islands are home to a wide, uncommon, distinct range of animals, like many crustaceans, sperm and bottlenose whales, spiny dogfish and killer whales. Terrestrial animals include the common hedgehog, black rats, roe deer, rosebud hamsters and ferrets, there is little-to-no dangerous species in The Celestial Islands, the only ones being found in the ocean. However, the most “dangerous” terrestrial species is probably the ferret and the black rat which rarely contains diseases and rabies. Birds include the glossy ibis, sandpipers, sanderling and many species of spoonbill, the most common one being the royal spoonbill.
