**Qrimi Island** is an island located southeast of Pataria. It is just off the coast of the Pentalian province of Canu. The island is a claimed by both Pentala and the Ford Motor Company for various reasons, currently the island is controlled by Ford Motor Company.

The name Qrimi Island is thought to originate from the Qirmi langauge which is now extinct.

## History

### Ancient History

The first inhabitants of the island came over from Pataria in around 2500 BSC. These early Qirmians were probably ancient Americans from the east, but it is still disputed where exactly from Pataria they were from. All that is known about them is that they likely were killed by Kazakh tribesman from modern day Canu in around 2000 BSC.

### Jatkorian Qirmi

Kazakh tribes started settling the island in 2000 BSC, and were in a constant state of war up until around 1405 BSC when the Kingdom of Sagin invaded. One of the tribes on Qirmi Island, Jatkor, united the island and conquered the Sagin. Jatkor then fell after trying to take the mountains in modern day Kux, when the mainland rebelled against them.

### Qirmi Republic

After Jatkor fell in 1091 BSC, the mainland formed the Republic of Canu. Qirmi Island, on the other hand, became an independent republic. However the Qirmi Republic was less of a republic then it was a federation of city states. Internal struggles were common place, and eventually the republic fell in 997 to the Pentalian Empire.

### Pentalian Integration

After the Qirmi Republic fell, the island became integrated to the Pentalian Empire in 996 BSC. The Pentalian Empire managed to hold on to the territory after the death of Namvar the Conqueror. The people of the island tried to rebel in 543 BSC, but failed, leading to a distancing between the people of the mainland and the people of the island. Qirmi Island became known as the Jatkor province after the tribe, and Pentala still recognizes it as such.

### Pentalian Republic

During the peasants revolt of 174 BSC, Qirmi Island sided with the rebellion and took up arms against the kingdom. They helped take Canu, and became a province of the new constitutional monarchy in 174 BSC. 2 years after the rebellion, the Devona Party took control and voted to kill the king. Qrimi Island supported this and voted yes, and was the deciding vote for the kings fate. During the civil war, the island sided with the Devona Party. They lost the civil war, and became a part of the Pentalian Republic, which they deeply resented.

### American Invasion

In 50 BSC, the communist rebellion started in Pentala. The people of Qirmi Island saw the opportunity to declare independence and rebelled. They took the whole island and governed themselves for 1 year. In 46 BSC the Ford Motor Company invaded the island and claimed it for themselves. That same year the communist won the rebellion, and formed Pentala.

### Modern Qrimi Island

Since the invasion and the formation of Pentala, the island has been a source of conflict between the two nations, who both claim it for themselves. Currently The Ford Motor Company controls the island.
