Rock Island

Rock Island is one of the states in the United States of Naomi. It consists of a single mountainous island in the Naomi Ocean, east of Butsky Cape and west of Gay Island, another state in the Union. The state is also commonly referred to as Rock Town, as this settlement covers most of the island and doubles as the capital of the USN.

History
Together with Gay Island, Rock Island is said to have suddenly appeared from the sky at the dawn of the Third Age. It was quickly colonised by settlers from Naominnesota, who at the time were exploring the coasts of the Naomi Ocean for new development opportunities. Soon it was discovered that Rock Island offered unique resources such as diorite, andesite, granite and most notably emerald, leading to the development of the Emerald Mine, one of the most extensive mining complexes in all of Pisa Manama. As Naominnesota shifted focus to the southern colonies, the United States of Naomi was founded and its government decentralised. Because of its central position relative to the other states, Rock Town was chosen as the Union's capital, bringing in lots of investment from the mainland. Rock Town quickly grew in size and became the most populated region of the Union, second in number only to Cactocide City.
