| abstract
| - Yakashima is a stratovolcanic archipelago of 521 islands. The 3 largest are Meitochi, Botonishi and Engishima, which make up the majority of Yakashima's land area. Yakashima's population of 36.9 million, making it the 37th largest in the world. 6.7 million people live in the Sentomachi area, making it the 39th largest city in the world Archaeological evidence indicates aboriginals, known now as the Orichoro, lived in Yakashima since about the year 300 . These people likely immigrated to the islands from Japan and settled in the western islands of the nation. In 1266, Japan gained control of the islands, but they were almost forgotten during the Edo Period. In 1612, Dutch sailors landed on the eastern shores, and a clash between the Western and Eastern societies continued until Yakashima's independence in 1798, as Japan began entering the Meiji Period. Yakashima is a member of the UN and the G20. A minor economic and political power, Yakashima is a developed country with the world's ninth largest economy by nominal GDP. IN 1933, Yakashima renounced its right to declare war, but still has a small military and navy. Yakashima ranks high in measures of freedom, civil liberties, rights, equality and education, and ranked 3rd in the 2014 Human Development Index.
