History
Annexation of Hingol
In about year 1200, Sippar annexed the region formerly known as Weka through a "caretaker clause" in their trade agreements. Weka, to benefit from the medicinal care available in Sippar, agreed to be annexed and officially recognized as part of Sippar though they maintain their own cultural identity. The reason the annexation went through was because of an outbreak of a unique water-borne disease that spread rapidly through the many islands. Sippar at the time had recently developed vaccinations for their own common diseases and were intent on being able to move freely through Weka to study this outbreak.
Unbeknownst to Weka, Sippar experimented on several smaller islands to test the success of their vaccines. While ultimately curing the disease and finding the root cause— whales with a particular bacterium from close to the Rim dying in the shallow archipelago that carried water through the small nation— more lives were lost to Sippari experimentation than anticipated. Sippar has documented these experiments and locked them behind specialist knowledge cases, but it was discovered in 1560 and Sippar ended up paying reparations to the former nation.
