The idea of an international nature preserve was discussed as early as the years immediately following the [[First Great War]], but no international body existed that could govern such a location and siting the preserve was a contentious issue. Most advocates argued the preserve had to be completely free of sovereign influence, and few nations which otherwise supported the project were willing to surrender territory for such a purpose.

Most advocates argued the preserve had to be completely free of sovereign influence, and few nations which otherwise supported the project were willing to surrender territory for such a purpose. Land in northern [[Crona]] - particularly within sparsely populated portions of [[Venua'tino]], which had been under [[League of Nations]] authority since 1967 - became a viable option during [[The Deluge]] as the region received renewed international attention. The League of Nations subsequently passed a Preserve Act authorizing the creation of a preserve in 2016. A land survey conducted in 2017 found significant non-populated and non-grazing areas which were suitable for use, and the Cronan preserve was formally designated in 2018. | ||
