Wuqi is an island controlled by the Jingdaoese Empire west of the Benacian continent. A small city that is known under the same name is located on it. It is also home to the as are bases of the Imperial Jingdaoese Navy and the Jingdaoese air force. Together with Hexiehaizei it is one of only two Jingdaoese overseas territories. Like Hexiehaizei the island only serves a strategic military purpose. Wuqi is home to a population of Tufucangshu, also known as tee-al by impure foreigners. These animals were introduced there in 1674 and have become a stable population. The animals are fed by releasing prisoners in their habitat. In order to control the population and avoid the spread of the murderous hamsters over the rest of the island, the prisoners are first ordered to swallow packets containing a high dose of birth control medicine.
The Blackstone Issue
Before the island was part of the Jingdaoese Empire, it was called Blackstone. The island has been in Jingdaoese hands since 1648 when Ludovic Verion, the Lord of Blackstone, invited the Jingdaoese Empire to annex the island which it did. Lord Verion later claimed that he expected that the Jingdoaese Empire would maintain Blackstone's unique culture. Jingdao on the other hand claims that no conditions were given for the annexation and that it can do with the island as it pleases. In late 1687, Jingdao cleared the ruins of the Iron Company and Verion Hall. The rubble was used for the construction of new docks and a pier.
