Kaiya Islands

**Important:** Kaiya could not be identified during the 2023 survey.

**A028** is the temporary name of this Microcontinent located at Coordinates 570-575/1205-1209, in Grid Sector E12, North - West Ocean. The official name is **Kaya Islands**.

## History

When first discovered by SLGI team, Kaiya Islands were a large subcontinent, made of 22 sims and almost compact. In June 2015, only 17 were found. The missing sims tend to fragment the grid structure. It was close to Wild West continent, who later moved far to East.

## Structure And Geography

Kaiya Islands have 17 sims and not compact. It is a Tropical Beach Paradise. All sims offer a tropical beach paradise, with a lot of Water, beaches and tropical vegetation. The main difference compared to other estates is that here the estate owner will come and help you create and built your desired place.

Each sim holds usually a single island. Each island is separated into smaller parcels by mountain ranges (usually lower then 50 metres, but we found even 90 meters high peaks). Water surrounds each island and allows access to each parcel. Unlike other estates, here are also obstacles on water, so that residents that live here will have more privacy and in the same time the advantages of a community.

## Information

The following information was delivered to us directly from the estate owner:
