==History==
===Origins===
The first colony on [[St. Ives]] was founded by refugees of the Hong Kong Free State in [[2197]] after the occupation of Hong Kong by Republican China.<ref name="HL(TCC)p9">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 9: "Liao And Its Neighbors"</ref> When the Terran Alliance commissioned the [[Alliance Grand Survey|Grand Alliance Survey of Populated Worlds]] in [[2235]] it was noted that St. Ives didn't consider itself to be even nominally under the authority of the [[Terran Alliance]],<ref name="HL(TCC)p9"/> and in [[2244]], just a few years after the survey, St. Ives became the capital of a new nation: the [[St. Ives Mercantile League]], sometimes referred to as the [[St. Ives Mercantile Association]].<ref name="HB:HLp12">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 12: "Timeline: Capellan Zone"</ref> In the early [[twenty-fourth century]] the [[Edicts of St. Ives]] were established by the St. Ives Mercantile Association, confirming the need for a central ruling family to rule the state - the intended family being the '''Ling family''' of St. Ives - and the nationalization of all industry for the success of the state. The Edicts of St. Ives would go on to play a significant role in the formation of the system of government used by the Capellan Confederation, and before that were adopted in part by the government of the [[Sarna Supremacy]].<ref name="HB:HLp125">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 125: "Politics and Movements"</ref>
