The Independent Islands of Loft are a coalition of small self-governing islands, banded together for mutual benefit. They hold each other to high standards: The constituent islands are democratic, and guarantee decent conditions for their inhabitants. Most of them have specialized within the federation, economically and militarily, and become famous for their particular niche.
