History
See also Timeline.

Wingsik was founded by Qilinian Emperor Golden Autumn who seeked to preserve all knowledge and create a great education center for the highest scholars of the empire.

The Emperor selected an island for the project and had monumental libraries and universities built in it and many of the knowledge across the empire copied and stored there.

To ensure the project would last, the Emperor tried to ensure Wingsik's independence, giving it self-governance and separating its leadership from the empire. He also had sturdy walls and watchtowers built around the island and made its military out of a regiment of imperial guards that would watch over the walls and fight off would-be invaders from either his successors or external powers.

Government
As established by Emperor Golden Autumn, Wingsik's government consists of a democratic republic where all decisions are reached by consensus of its inhabitants.

Military
The Wingsikese guard has always boasted experimental unusual weaponry thought up by the wise scholars of the island, such as gatling crossbows centuries before the invention of the gatling gun.

The watchtowers around the island are topped by metal statues of dragons that shot incendiary rockets out of their mouths. They can be rotated to aim in specific directions but they are rigged to never aim inwards.
