Colonies

Beside mentioned 7 regions, Irdminia has 3 colonies known as Irdminian Overseas Autonomous Territories (Irdminikk Ew Muurgdtu Atonomii Polvemz). All 3 of them claimed their autonomy a long time ago. Each of them has their own history, and besides Irdminians also other nationalities are living there with caused some problem in the past - especially in Fjofgrodt region when huge minority of Sunettians is living.

For about 70 years of administration their relations with Irdminia was rather hard - in fact their independence was really close - but were still represted by Irdminian government at the international area. Eventually, lately this trend started to change and the biggest sign of it was acceptance of one common currency and what's more important, one constitution ruling in all regions.
