In the early modern period, [[Kiravia]] militarily subjugated the Netanic state but did not establish economic overlordship or settler colonies beyond the immediate coastal littral, which became [[Porfiria]]; accordingly, the arrival of the colonial era changed very little beyond becoming part of Porfírian colonial claims. In the place of the old monarchy, the eight social tribes established the Hukon League, which eventually became the official representative of indigenous people in the territory claimed by Kiravia; it concluded with the Treaty of Vittēmur in [[1773]], which created a line beyond which [[Occidental]] people could not settle. The Vittēmur line eventually became a jurisdictional boundary between the colonial Porfírian government and the Hukon League, and today forms Netansett's southern border. During the 19th century, the Hukon League would begin social and political integration of its various constituent elements while also gradually gaining further autonomy from the Porfírian colonial government.

The destruction and disintegration of the Netanic League in the mid-18th Century splintered the twelve former member tribes, who all sought divergent interests under their new Kiravian overlords while at the same time vying for the favor of said overlords in hopes of attaining some sort of influence over the other tribes. Eventually, four of the twelve tribes would find themselves becoming direct subjects of the Kiravian colony of Porfiria through land seizures in the coastal littoral; these four tribes would be disintegrated as a result, thus leaving eight extant tribes. After about a decade or two of economic and military power struggles in the hinterlands of Porfiria, the eight remaining tribes, under the mediation of Porfirian colonists, signed the [[Treaty of Hukon]], named after the village in which it was signed, thus forming the [[Hukon League]] in 1764. The Hukon League was established to serve as a means to represent the extant indigenous tribes in Porfiria and as a way for the colony to effectively influence the tribes without shedding further blood. This allowed for the nascent indigenous planter aristocracy to retain immense power and privileges in exchange for paying a {{wp|flat tax}} to the Porfirian colonial government to contribute to the overall prosperity of Kiravia. A further treaty, the [[Treaty of Vittēmur]], was signed in 1773 and established the Vittēmur line which forbade non-indigenous people from settling in indigenous territory, thus recognizing the Hukon League as a separate entity within Porfiria.

Throughout the rest of the 18th Century and up until 1840, the Hukon League provided a stabilizing presence for the remaining eight Netanic tribes, allowing them to rekindle inter-tribal friendships and unite so as to potentially avoid the fates that the lost four tribes have met. Indeed, it was during the years of the Hukon League that a distinct and unified Netanic identity would emerge, combining various cultural aspects of the eight tribe as well as the spoken tongues and written languages of said tribes. The resulting standardized Netanic language, [[Quonish language|Quonish]], was created in 1812 to be the unified language of the Netanic peoples in both spoken and written language, and it became one of the major catalysts behind [[Netanic nationalism]]. It was also around this time when the Hukon League began to request autonomy from the colonial government of Porfiria as well as consolidating the eight member tribes of the League into a more centralized form of government in great contrast to the confederated governments of both the early years of the League and the previous Netanic League from before. In the late 1830s, the Hukon League soon began to negotiate with the colonial government about the possibility of securing independence. Through compromises and various deals between colonial and indigenous elites, the Hukon League was soon transformed into the independent Dominion of Huconia by April of 1840.

As part of the overall plan to Occidentalize the nation's economy, Autocrat [[Maitsoi Taphanso]] implemented an ambitious policy in [[2018]] to seize vast plots of land for the construction of major infrastructure, such as highways in exchange for half of its fair market value. This program would inevitably put the government and ruling classes in opposition to the nation's powerful and largely aristocratic planter classes, as their cash crop farms occupied the vast majority of the land area that was to be seized in the interior part of Netansett. Several attempts were made by leading planters to end the policy, but by [[2024]] it was clear these efforts had failed. In response, about a third of the Council of Ministers and the Chief Minister, aligned with the planters and owning large plots of lands themselves, resigned in protest. This had the effect of both alienating the planter class from the political ruling elite Tsailists but also practically eliminating the influence of the planter class in government. Accordingly, between [[2025]] and [[2030]], the rate of land seizures had accelerated, except many of these lands were auctioned off to private Netanic economic interests or even to foreign investors, deeply angering the planter elite. This divide set the administration of Autocrat Taphanso and the planter elite on a political collision course throughout the first half of the 2030s, especially as the continually-growing middle class continues to demand further reforms.
