This system, initially designed for efficiency, shifted towards authoritarianism as challenges arose. Mounting resistance, internal corruption, and economic pressures led to stricter controls, increased military presence, and marginalization of both the Kandari and the Colonial Council. Local militias were replaced by professional regiments controlled by the Governor-General, tightening the grip of the central administration. | This system, initially designed for efficiency, shifted towards authoritarianism as challenges arose.

Cote d'Or's administration thus reflected a stark hierarchy, with wealth and influence concentrated in the hands of the colonial elite. While non-[[patroon]] settlers held a semblance of participation, the Kandari people remained disenfranchised, foreshadowing the tensions and conflicts that would mark the colony's future. | Cote d'Or's administration thus reflected a stark hierarchy, with wealth and influence concentrated in the hands of the colonial elite.

The colonial administrators were master negotiators and strategists and were always looking for ways to expand their colonial boundaries. They used the [[Expulsion_of_the_Protestants#TerreRaubeuers|TerreRaubeuers]] to masterful effect and generally kept the colonists engaged in [[Expulsion_of_the_Protestants#Colonial_militarism|Colonial militarism]] and proselytization. They also knew and worked to keept he tribes divded and at war with eachother. They were also adept at using the {{wp|Doctrine of Lapse}}. | |||

The bustling economy of [[Cote d'Or colony|Cote d'Or]] showed the [[Expulsion_of_the_Protestants#Pharisedoms_and_the_Burgoignesc_Colonial_Empire|tenacity, resourcefulness, and ambition]] of its [[Bergendii]] and [[Deric]] colonists. They set about building roads and ports as soon as they arrived and connecting their emporia to the existing [[Silk Road]] with haste. The initial and staple commodity that led to the colonization of the area was salt. The [[patroon]] system allowed them to establish latifundia immediately which soon boasted towering date palms, yielding sweet fruits and sap, which was exported as a delicacy and sweetener. As the colony expanded into the semiarid interior, massive cotton latifundia were established, which was fed into the existing textile industry in Kandara. [[Bergendii]] and Kandari weavers became renowned for their skill, crafted fine cloth coveted across [[Levantia]] and [[Sarpedon]]. As they spread further into the foothills, the humid highlands was harnessed to industrialized the cultivation of cardamom, ginger, turmeric, and, in select highland pockets, tea plantations. Nestled amidst the secrecy of the highlands, poppy fields bloomed, yielding raw opium, a highly profitable commodity that was used in Kandara as well as other colonies when the population was unruly. | The bustling economy of [[Cote d'Or colony|Cote d'Or]] showed the [[Expulsion_of_the_Protestants#Pharisedoms_and_the_Burgoignesc_Colonial_Empire|tenacity, resourcefulness, and ambition]] of its [[Bergendii]] and [[Deric]] colonists.
