Crucible:Isola
The advanced archipelago nation of Isola, located in the Northern Pacific, was originally settled by English-speaking colonists in the 1700s. Governed by Britain, Isola had been mostly a quiet but well-developed land, rich in resources, protected from wars by the oceans that surround it. Isola joined Britain and the other Allies during World War II, and achieved independence just after the war ended in 1948.
Several of the cities in Isola are built as single-building arcologies. The largest and most celebrated of these is Altima, which is stands over one kilometer tall and has a population in excess of two million.
Isola was catapulted onto the world stage during the Hero Wars, when a Karnak starcruiser crash-landed on Isolan territory. The enterprising Isolans managed to reverse-engineer much of the Karnak advanced technology, boosting their own economy.
However, this prosperity and advanced technology later made them a target for a full-scale invasion by Transasia . The super-team Watchstar was called in to defend the country, leading to a tremendous battle for Isolan freedom. Watchstar was also based here for a time as a guest of the Isolan government.
