BTC Nyugat Sziget
The North Islands Trading Post
The taste of the local variation of Nightshade is pleasant, and not at all intolerable, unlike it's poisonous cousins. Or mine for that matter.The islands of the Nyugat Sziget are a twin pair of north south oriented islands that are covered in a dense subtropical forest. This has made it ideal grounds for the Barzengian Trade Company, as there is lumber resources aplenty, as well as local vegetation and fauna that make for rarer delicacies on Kokintras, particularly in the southern areas of Lorica, that have exclusive trade with the BTC.
The rub of the islands is the inhabitants. Apparently at some point in the modern area, Halflings escaped from under the Crysach, and formed a "Free-state" in the far west of Rubras, called Nyioria and also have some related cousins and blood that are local to the island, which has caused an increased level of hostility over the trading ports being built along the southeastern coast of the pair.
Demography and Population
There are a lot of Halflings in the territories. Most of the population in fact. At estimate, there are six to ten more halflings than goblinoid. The southern island, Nagoport, or "Large Island", has roughly 1000 Goblinoids of the BTC colony, and something on the order of 7500 Halflings. The northern island Kisziget has a smaller population, around 600 goblinoids and maybe 2000 halflings.
Territories
The North Islands Trading Post or the Nyugat Sziget in Barzengian, is a trading outpost that serves as a foothold for the BTC in Rubras, and serves as a refueling leg for BTC trade ships as they pass through the Krobermeer. It's a pair of islands in the northern seas, to the east of the jutting peninsula of Weglanger that forms the Stoutling Straits.
The territory is contested between the colonizing BTC, and the free halflings of Nyioria that live on the main continent of Rubras to the North East of the two islands. There is conflict between the Nyiorian armies and the security forces of the BTC frequently as the territory of the trading post stretches to occupy more of the island.

Military
The security forces on the islands are those of a protection detail against a guerilla war. There are several dozen soldiers of the BTC stationed in both the territory capital, Kimisorta, and the largest city on the smaller island Kisziget, Agispasset.
Trade & Transport
A lot of product from Kisziegt is moved south to the Nagoport via tradeship, traversing generally the eastern coasts to the ports between them. Mostly this consists of lumber from the more heavily forested island, while products such as vegetables and fruits move northward on the return trip in order to feed and supply the lumber-teams.

Currency
The BTC has it's own official currency for the colony, known as the Törzs, which was a coin of silver minted at value of one trunk of lumber sold to the BTC
Major Exports
The primary exports of the pair of islands include, Shrimp, Timber and Gold. There are healthy veins of gold throughout the island according to the surveys, leading even more to the determination of the smaller Flotilla force to not abandon the colony despite the larger halfling forces native to Nyoria and the islands.
Secondary goods include pelts, from both local fauna and some of the larger boars that were not native to the area but brought by colonists, that have escaped and thrived on the islands, other goods are things like the nightshade varaiant, paradicsom
