Masako

Masako is one of the seven main islands of Oyashima, and the homeland of most of Gernon's Simian population.

Geography
The island is situated in the north east of the archipelago. Despite its close proximity to the Spice Coast, the island is one of the least populated and most closed to foreign involvement due to the intensely unforgiving landscape. A heavily jungled and mountainous island, it is highly inaccessible to all but the most skilled of survivalists once you go in more than a mile from the coast line. Traveling overland is all but impossible without the climbing skills of the Simians, and the dangerous beasts of the inner jungle make even Simians avoid these dangerous areas.

Population
The majority of the population of Masako are the Simians, a group of tailed and furred humanoids resembling lesser primates. The island's population is estimated to be around 180,000 in 40 asr, with about 165,000 being Simian, another 10,000 humans, and 5,000 half-simians.
