The 25th Ward was seemingly established by [[Kinshiro Nakane]] using his wealth and power. Plans for it began at least as early as 2003, as seen by Mikoshiba's poster in {{CL|25}}, on which he promotes the Ward 25 plan, suggesting that he was also involved with its creation from early on. The 25th Ward was designed to take in certain kinds of residents from all over the country; in Nakane's words, "people are not made. People are scouted." It was also designed as a political plan to reconstruct Kanto itself and theoretically act as a new capital. However, at the same time, different factions in the Ward were conducting experiments to gather observational data collected by [[observer]]s; it is suggested that this is the true purpose of the Ward.

In [[05 electride|#05 electride]], Mikoshiba gives a speech for the election term announcing his intention to establish the Ward as an independent state separate from the greater government. This would not come to pass, as he is found dead not long after. Even if he had lived, though, the 25th Ward would not have existed for much longer regardless. At the conclusion of the experiment, seemingly, bombs are detonated under the Ward and it sinks into the sea.

At the conclusion of the experiment, the Ward is destroyed in a protocol known as the [[Earth Rage|Rage Earth Plan]] and sinks below the sea.
