It is considered an [[Possession (Caphiria)|overseas possession]] and territory of [[Caphiria]].The island was developed in the mid-19th century with facilities for a private villa, a military fortification, and a military prison. In 1930, the island was converted into a forced labor camp after the discovery of rare earth metals. The island covers approximately 120,305 km<sup>2</sup> (46,450 sq mi) and has an estimated population of 275,000. The capital city, [[Port Leonoix]], is the only major settlement on the island. | ||
The initial inhabitants of Coribus were believed to be predecessors to the [[North Songun civilization]], with their arrival speculated to have been on [[Heaven Ships]]. Over time, these settlers established modest communities across the island. When [[Coscivian civilisation|Coscivian]] merchants discovered the island, they noted its limited fresh water sources, which made extended stays challenging outside the rainy season. Subsequently, the island caught the interest of the Kiravian [[Leonoix family]], who utilized it as a pivotal stopover for ships and a vital resupply point. By 1850, the island transitioned from being a mere maritime hub to a private resort for the [[Faneria|Fanerian]] royalty. Noteworthy during this period is the construction of a desalination plant in 1872, enhancing the water supply for permanent settlers and visitors alike. Following the [[Fhainnin Civil War]], the island became the exclusive property of the monarchy, even serving as a temporary residence for the last [[King of the Fhainn]], [[Antaine Lohr-Mártainn]]. However, in 1918, the island's ownership shifted as it was annexed by Caphiria. | The initial inhabitants of Coribus were believed to be predecessors to the [[North Songun civilization]], with their arrival speculated to have been on [[Heaven Ships]].
