Ishikawa is a volcanic island known for its rugged mountains and remote villages. Before the Mercia subjugated its tribes in 1823, they were a fiercely independent people who had resisted outside influence for centuries. Mercian scouts had discovered large veins of precious metals and gems on the island, resulting in an invasion. The Ishikawan people fought fiercely against the Mercian invaders, but were eventually defeated by the superior firepower of the Mercian army.
Under Mercian rule, Ishikawa became a major centre for mining and resource extraction, with the island's natural resources fuelling the Mercian economy. However, the Ishikawan people continued to resist Mercian rule in various ways, with some even resorting to guerrilla warfare tactics.
In 1970, Guerrilla warfare resorted in the execution of the ruling monarch Queen Nakagawa. The local Mercian garrison responded accordingly with harsh crackdowns, imposing martial law and arresting suspected rebels without trial. The conflict escalated into a full-scale insurgency, with bombings and attacks on Mercian military installations becoming increasingly common.
The international community began to take notice of the situation in Ishikawa, with many countries calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The Mercian government initially refused to negotiate with the rebels, but mounting pressure from the international community eventually forced them to the negotiating table. After years of negotiations, a peace agreement was finally reached in 2011. Ishikawa was granted independence from Mercia, and a new democratic government was established on the island. The Ishikawan people finally achieved their long-held dream of self-rule, and the scars of the conflict slowly began to heal.
Today, Ishikawa is a thriving democracy, with a vibrant economy and a rich cultural heritage. The island's people are proud of their hard-won independence, and remain vigilant in guarding their sovereignty against any potential threats from outside forces.
