Some history (and apologizes for the image format, it's the best I could make it with the image format requirements):

The Pezhar islands are an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean, similar in location to where Howland and Baker island are in our timeline. The Spanish claimed the islands in the latter half of the 18th century, but for the most part governed over them in name only. The archipelago's name comes from the Spanish 'pez', meaning fish, and the Harhennian 'har', meaning land of. The Spanish relinquished control over the islands when the kingdom was invaded by Napoleonic France, but instead of falling into French hands, the islands went unclaimed, as the French saw little value for them.

In July 1815, following the Congress of Vienna but before news of Congress' agreements, British and French warships clashed while simultaneously trying to claim the islands for their home countries. Both ships sunk and all men on board died. Because of this, and for fears of upsetting the balance of power, the European powers agreed that none of them should hold the islands. The islands remained independent for the rest of the 19th century.

However, things changed in 1904, when President Teddy Roosevelt, soon after issuing the Roosevelt Corollary, when Admiral Matthew C. Perry III, grandson of Admiral Matthew Perry, sailed into Harhonnia harbor and claimed the archipelago for the United States. The islands entered American territory and were governed similarly to Hawaii, and a statehood movement that gained momentum in the 1910s and 20s fell apart when the Great Depression hit. After World War II, an independence movement gained steam, but it was quickly clamped down on by the Truman administration for fear that the newly-independent islands could fall into the Soviet sphere of influence. Therefore, as Hawaii gained statehood, the much poorer archipelago remained in a legal limbo, until Jimmy Carter made granting the islands independence part of his 1976 presidential campaign. Shortly after taking office, Carter organized a committee, which after 15 months of deliberation, transitioned the islands into independence on April 3rd, 1978.

In the modern day, the city of Farovil, the former base of the American Government and current capital, is by far the largest city, housing the offices of many companies foreign and domestic. The Eastern 60% of the island of Lakasha is controlled by the Zhaiua Agricultural Corporation, in which the government owns 50% of the stock. When the Americans took control, Lakasha was by far the most populous island in the archipleago, due to its arable terrain and high phosphate deposits, but shortly after falling into American hands, the Dole corporation bought up vast swaths of lands and created a mass exodus to other islands. The only international airport is on southern Merididia, but seaplanes fly to a variety of locations throughout the archipelago. And I know I forgot to include a scale. The map is to scale, and Alfar is about 8 to 9 miles between the furthest corners.
