Formation
The people of Sicily were tired of being under Italian war, and so on June 27, 1946, they declared war on Italy. British and Soviet soldiers allied with the Sicilians and helped defeat the Italians. On December 28, 1947, the Italians surrendered and let Sicily be independent, on the condition they chose a new name. Someone suggested "Uchija" as a joke, but the people liked it, and it stayed, along with some of the British and Soviet soldiers. Over time, their languages merged into one, and the Uchian language (Üchijō Ringo) was formed.
