Equine Isle, officially The Equestrian Island Kingdom, was a Kingdom of Cartonia, home to the horse species. The nation was annexed into Vulpus in 723. 
Once an island nation, Equine Isle did not have any natural land borders with another Kingdom. 
==Geography==
Equine Isle was separated from the rest of Cartonia by the Equine Strait and Unity Sea. It was closest geographically to Ursus and Eusuchia. The entire island alternated between hills and plains, and many areas were left uncivilized in order to preserve racing territory. The capital of Equus was situated at the southern tip of the island. Of all the pre-War Kingdoms, Equine Isle was the rainiest. 
==History==
Equine Isle pledged allegiance to the Harmony Crown in the Year 1, thus uniting the Cartonian continent. It follows Leprolia and precedes Bovo in the rotation. 
The monarch of Equine Isle is addressed as "My Liege" or "His/Her Liege." This is the only nation to use this moniker. The heir apparent to the throne is known as the Heredera or Heredero, depending on the gender. 
At the outbreak of the War in 708, Equine Isle declared neutrality. This changed in February 709 when Queen Vixen VII of Vulpus abolished the Harmony Crown. Bovo immediately joined the Granite Bloc alliance in opposition to the Vixen Queen. 
When the War Plague broke out between 712 and 715, Equine Isle was one of the nations hit hardest. King Horatio V lost one daughter, two grandchildren, and many other members of his extended family. 
Equine Isle fell during a seaborne invasion in 723. The royal family escaped to the mainland and remained ruling in exile though the nation was quickly occupied and annexed by Vulpus. 
King Horatio died in 724 after 72 years on the throne. He was succeeded in exile by his eldest daughter, Navarra II. She was the last monarch of the nation, and fled Cartonia. 
==Trivia==
*Equine Isle's name and its capital are based on the collateral adjective "equestrian." 
*The flag of Equine Isle is green and blue; the green represents the grass and plains of the island, and the blue represents the water that surrounds it. 
*Races is based on Chateau de Chambord in France, and its name is a reference to horse racing.
