View source for 1723 Norfolk Isles dispute

In {{AN|1723}} the ruins of the island city of [[Tymaria (city)|Tymaria]], the equatorial capital of a [[Tymaria|fleeting global empire]], were occupied by forces from [[Çakaristan]] following the claimed shipwreck of a Çakari flagged merchantman offshore from the island. On the basis of this occupation a claim was subsequently registered with the [[Micras Cartography Society]].

[[Floria]], deeming Tymaria to fall within its own territorial waters since the annexation of [[Port Balaine]] in {{AN|1706}}, protested the claim and tasked the Norfolk Isles Squadron of the Florian Navy with investigating the scene of the reported shipwrecking incident.
