The first century of the Second Republican era was also marked by a few attempts to restore the classical [[Caphiric Republic]], with prominent Emeritans arguing that the collapse of the Second Imperium has proven that there were many fundamental flaws with what they deemed to be the "royalist disgrace" that has emerged since the fall of the Caphiric Republic and that the only way to restore stability and prosperity is to establish a stronger republic based on the ideals of the classical era while making a few necessary modifications to prevent the rise of perceived royalist demagoguery that was said to have plagued the latter years of the Caphiric Republic. However, the Republic was at the time too far away from mainland Sarpedon and too small to effectively wield enough influence to do anything beyond declaring themselves to the true heirs of the old Caphiric Republic, and any and all ambitions of restoring the old Republic on the mainland were soon dashed with the emergence of the [[Caphiria#The_Third_Imperium|Third Imperium]] in 1283, though that did not stop the Emeritans from attempting to establish a hegemony across the Catenias. | The first century of the Second Republican era was also marked by a few attempts to restore the classical [[Caphiric Republic]], with prominent Emeritans arguing that the collapse of the Second Imperium has proven that there were many fundamental flaws with what they deemed to be the "royalist disgrace" that has emerged since the fall of the Caphiric Republic and that the only way to restore stability and prosperity is to establish a stronger republic based on the ideals of the classical era while making a few necessary modifications to prevent the rise of perceived royalist demagoguery that was said to have plagued the latter years of the Caphiric Republic.

Through this new effort, they sent out landing parties to attempt to set up outposts from which Emeritan settlers would use to essentially establish multiple Latinic republics throughout the archipelago. From ''Isula de su Bentu'' (now [[Port de Vent]]) to ''Isula de Grassi'' (now the [[Krasoa Islands]]; scholars are still unsure if ''Krasoa'' was in fact a corruption of ''Grassi'' or just a coincidence), the Emeritans have established the [[Ventese Republic]] and the [[Crassian Republic]], respectively. In theory, these two {{wp|sister republics}} were allowed to determine their own affairs so long as they paid a tribute to the Emeritan Republic, but in practice they were more akin to vassal states and had to rely on the Republic for their protection. However, their status allowed these two sister republics to take advantage of the economic opportunities they had through trade with the Republic, which in turn made them flourish under this new [[Emeritan System]]. | Through this new effort, they sent out landing parties to attempt to set up outposts from which Emeritan settlers would use to essentially establish multiple Latinic republics throughout the archipelago.

Although the Republic would never again fall under direct [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] domination, it would soon find itself under the suzerainty of a nascent and newly-unified [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] vassal kingdom in western [[Sarpedon]], the [[History_of_Pelaxia#Great_Caphiravian_Kingdom_of_Pelaxia_(1485_to_1618)|Great Caphiravian Kingdom of Pelaxia]]. First contact with these [[Pelaxia]]n emissaries began in [[1499]], by that time [[Pelaxia]] had already established a [[Pelaxian colonization of Vallos|colonial empire]] in [[Vallos]] ([[Pelaxian_colonization_of_Vallos#Vicerotalty_of_Puerto_Negro_(1487)|Vicerotalty of Puerto Negro]] and the [[Pelaxian_colonization_of_Vallos#Enclaves_of_Bahía_de_Los_Ruma_(1497)|Enclaves of Bahía de Los Ruma]]). Because of the republic's relative stability compared to most of the polities in [[Vallos]] and overall [[Latinic]] homogeneity, the Republic was not to be made into a colony, but rather a protectorate. The republic became incredibly important to the [[Pelaxia]]ns as a frontier to maintain its hold in the [[Southern Route]] to [[Audonia]], in the mid 17th century onward. | |||
The establishment of Pelaxian suzerainty over the Republic saw the emergence of a pelaxianised Latinic culture within the span of fifty years as Emeritan elites took on Pelaxian customs, traditions, and even a [[Emeritan Pelaxian|new vernacular of the Pelaxian language]] with many Latinic loanwords. By the year 1554, the Emeritans had effectively became a Romance ethnic group, a far cry from when they had seen themselves as a Latinic ethnic group. However, not all Latinic people were as welcoming of the Pelaxians as the Emeritans were; the Ventese and the Crassians felt that the fact that the Emeritans were so eager to essentially submit to a foreign power so quickly as well as abandoning their cultural roots to take on the Pelaxian identity was an indicator to them that the Emeritans were not as keen on becoming the next Latinic hegemony and were more interested in retaining their privileges at all costs. The Republic, not wanting a potential rebellion opted to forcibly remove the leadership of the two republics and instead appointed Emeritans to handle their governance. | The establishment of Pelaxian suzerainty over the Republic saw the emergence of a pelaxianised Latinic culture within the span of fifty years as Emeritan elites took on Pelaxian customs, traditions, and even a [[Emeritan Pelaxian|new vernacular of the Pelaxian language]] with many Latinic loanwords.
