J.P. Island, also spelled JP Island and officially known as the United States of Quentin Federal Territory of J.P. Island, is an island located in the north Lankanata Ocean, also recognized as a federal territory of the United States of Quentin. The island, which was named after Quentinian founder J.P. Marketington, is near the Pearwish Islands as well as the Azurian Isles, and in the past J.P. Island has been the center of most Azurian-Quentinian relations, with the Azurians having their embassy in the capital city, Marketington.
J.P. Island was formerly a colony of the Protectorates of Allia, however in 1852 Allia negotiated the Brodgan Treaty with the USQ, which included the transfer of J.P. Island, along with military equipment, to the USQ in exchange for a reduction of trade tariffs. In 1853 it became a federal territory by the vote of Congress, recognized today as the oldest Quentinian territory that still exists today. Today J.P. Island is based on agriculture, and does large business with agricultural products. It also benefits from the fact that most drugs are legal there, as in all federal Quentinian territories, and operates as a middle-man between drug dealers and Docneighland, something that has caused issues recently. The territorial government there uses English and Farmine as its official languages, and the territory is run by the Brodginian Territorial Assembly, Brodginian referring to the native name of the islanders, Brodginians. JP Islanders are not considered citizens of the country, however under the 1940 Territorial Status Act, all citizens of JP Island are considered territorial citizens, giving them some rights of travel and trade, however not federal election or representation rights.
