(Joint claim with SocDyl)
This is a revival of a Pre-Expansion Briefing Room - Step 1 - The East Pacific - Tapatalk in another form. Barbanera would have been a part of Aponivia had it been completed, but we are resurrecting it as a new, independent entity which is a former colony of Celanora (an upcoming claim from Tret and others to fill in the gaps in the lore that Aponivia left).
Elements are structured in this claim as follows: De jure for the whole island (and de facto in the east) / De facto for the west of the island
