I present to you, Angel Island, which will be accessible until the Master Emerald is re-assembled.
The Zone Map:
Green - Ordinary Terrain
Light Gray - Echidnaopolis
Yellow - Sandopolis(home to the Dingo HQ)
Blue - Hydrocity
Red - Forbidden Zone(home to the Brotherhood of Guardians' HQ)
Dark Red - Lava Reef
Dark Gray - Marble Garden
Light Green - Mushroom Hill
Light Blue - Ice Cap(home to the Dark Legion HQ)
The Political Map:
-Dark Legion: Blackish Gray. The Dark Legion has been consistently led by Grandmasters, more specifically, those who descend from Knuckles' distant Uncle, Dimitri. Lord Rutan is the current Grandmaster, torn between his duty to serve the Legion and locate his mother, Lien-Da. The Dark Legion has a fetish for technology, as seen by their often cybernetic limbs.
-Brotherhood: Red. Knuckles' direct ancestors, the Brotherhood's members are few, but incredibly powerful, monitoring the world and its affairs. At the moment, however, they're concerned with keeping Dingo and Dark Legionaire alike in check. The Brotherhood has sided with the theocracy over the technocracy, but they hypocritically use technology in many of their pursuits, albeit amplified by Master energy.
-Dingo: Orange. The Dingos harbor a hatred towards echidnas, and once exterminated 90% of the Echidna population under Eggman's oversight. Thanks to the Master Emerald's powers, however, they were banished to the Sandopolis Zone, and now struggle to get by. The weakening of the globe, however, has enabled them to strike back.
Each of these factions controls 16 provinces on the Island. 7 provinces remain independent and disputed. 55 provinces total.
You can sponsor any of the factions, each having their own benefits/downsides:
-The Brotherhood will use their powers to make your Chaos Emeralds more potent, so they have +0.5% chance of producing a Chaos Crystal for each territory they own. So right now, +8%. The Brotherhood will try to steal your ME shards if they reach 50% of the island's mass. You can't get them back short of conquering the Brotherhood.
-The Dark Legion will put 0.1 point towards your tech per turn based on how much land they own. So right now, +1.6 gpt. If they reach 50% of the island, they will look outward, trying to steal the Master Emerald shards, and you can't get them back short of conquering the Island.
-The Dingos are too stupid to have much use. However, they won't try and steal your emeralds either, and may assist you militarily if they triumph.
Every turn the factions will do war with eachother. You do not need to meddle in the Island's affairs if you don't want to. Every faction receives ten armies per turn, or less if they have fewer than ten territories. Your sponsorship will give them extra armies; you can intervene directly on their behalf or just fund them(5 gold per army).
---
Completely separate from sponsorship is hunting for goods like gold, gems, etc. which the Island is full of. It costs 1 gold a try to find riches, with a 10% chance of success; success yields either 1-20 gold or 1-5 Chaos Crystals. To make this fair, anybody with a navy can access Angel Island even if they couldn't reach it otherwise. Your success is upped to 25% if you are sponsoring a faction as their forces will assist you(and of course if you request their help), but you will have to split the booty and thus get the greater half.

Emerald Readers: To use a complete Master Emerald, you must recruit either a Legionaire from the Dark Legion or from Albion(the island in the landlocked sea next to Link's nation). You MUST have access to the island to use these.

If the Master Emerald is returned to Angel Island, it will rise into the sky and become inaccessible until the Modern Age; everything will also be reset politically. Your vessels, if in the area, will be teleported back home.

Hence the name...
