Hashijima is a small island in the eastern Cantalle Ocean that is a foreign territory of Zoygaria. Inhabited by various cultures for tens of thousands of years, including Yuaneze, Emansian, and Sanpian empires, the modern settlements on Hashijima were originally utilized as a way point between the Zoygarian mainland and its Ausianan colonies. During the era of colonization, the island developed into a lucrative trading post and important naval base. Following the independence of the Zoygarian colonies in Ausiana, the island remained part of the Imperial Commonwealth, later being directly incorporated as a foreign territory. Hashijima remains a source of geopolitical tension between Zoygaria and Yuan, as the latter has sought recognition of its legitimacy over the island in a similar vein to the disputes over Gangkou, Yorojima, and Puale Isle.
