Columbia

Columbia is a small island off of the northeastern shores of Cafeyete. A rocky spit of land, it was deemed uninhabitable for a long time and lay unclaimed by the closest government, that of Candelana. A group of intrepid colonists, led by the alchemist Dr. Malcolm Cohen, settled and terraformed the area, turning it into an unaffiliated country of its own. As it houses less than 20,000, and the inhabitants keep to themselves beyond some trade for resources, Cafeyete is willing to allow the island's sovereignty. 
The residents of Columbia are secluded and insular, being extremely watchful and selective of who is allowed to land, visit or move there. The culture is dominated by the concept of the Augmented Human Project, an experiment they are all invested in to some degree, which has resulted in the people of the island possessing lifespans, magical abilities and pigmentation not seen in other humans, only rivaled by elves and native outsiders such as changelings.
