United Island Federation / U.I.F (neighboring entity)

The United Island Federation (shorthand: U.I.F, previously settled as Nordland) is an island nation north of Seaward Islands. Seaward Islands connects to U.I.F via the North International Railport in Crescent Beach, North Seaward Islands.

Diplomatic Recognition

Seaward Island's Governmental Affairs Division (G.A.D) established diplomatic relations with United Island Federation shortly after it's founding, a few days after the Hurricane Herobrine disaster in Valor Islands, which destroyed it's local land, railport, and beach. This caused a local refugee crisis in which refugees were settled in portions of Seaward Island. U.I.F could not have accepted refugees at the time because the federation was not a sovereign state at the time and had no local government installed.

Seaward-U.I.F Friendship Bridge

Both governments have funded a road (signed as the Seward-U.I.F Friendship Bridge), which makes transit easier between the two nations. The bridge connects the end of North International Railport (Railport Loop Rd, Cresent Beach, North Seaward Islands) to the Meridian-Macintosh International Railport (Applause County, U.I.F)

Economy 

As the United Island Federation is a new nation, it is still establishing it's local government and divisions. It currently has three main counties (sidenote: U.I.F divides its local areas as counties instead of cities, and possibly as multiple metro areas unlike Seaward's main Metropolitan Seaward). One of the biggest cities in U.I.F is Meridian, located in Applause County, with its metropolitan area stretching in: Applause County, McCokepede County, and Orion County. After the time of this writing, two new counties were created: Lithia County and Emeralde County.
