===Civil war===

Following independence from Kiravia, the ~~Paulastra colony~~ found itself free of a ~~foreign ruler~~. Native peoples and colonial settlers suddenly found themselves no longer unified by a common identity and government. ~~Settlers~~ and ~~Tribal leaders~~ sent representatives to Farpoint to discuss the formation of a new government. Theses talks failed as tribal leaders each claimed ownership of the lands of Paulastra with each tribal leader wanting complete control over the lands at the expense of the other tribes and settlers. The country side soon found itself in total chaos as the tribes fought for dominance. As the violence escalated ~~Colonial settlers~~ formed an emergency government to handle the civil war that had engulfed the countryside.

Following independence from Kiravia, the National League of Crona found itself suddenly free of foreign rule. The sudden nature of independence meant that the National League, which remained a political organization only loosely tying the officially separate three states together, had little preparation for the establishment of a permanent political order. Native peoples and colonial settlers in three different states suddenly found themselves no longer unified by a common identity and government. Besides the three states, many tribal nations existed within the National League's territorial sovereignty, and many of these argued that their agreements remained with [[Kartika]] rather than any new local government. Both the states and tribal nations sent representatives to Farpoint to discuss the formation of a new government. Theses talks failed as tribal leaders each claimed ownership of the lands of what would become Paulastra with each tribal leader wanting complete control over the lands at the expense of the other tribes and settlers. The country side soon found itself in total chaos as the tribes fought for dominance.

As the violence escalated, the leaders of the National League deposed the three state governments and formed an emergency government to handle the civil war that had engulfed the countryside. This action quietly set aside the political structure which had divided future Paulastra for nearly three centuries.

=== Southern Islands Conflict===

The kingdom has owned the colony of the western islands since about 2 years after the unification of the kingdom. Coastal cities of the newly unified kingdom were being raided by people from the islands to the west. While the King tried his best to build and organize strong coastal defenses after the subsequent raid and sack of a major coastal town the king realized that if stronger action was not taken he would lose power and the kingdom would become undone. So he ordered a call up of soldiers in order to invade the island nations and bring them into the fold. At which point his ordered the formation of ten battalions of his newly expanded king’s guard to lead the attack on the islands. The invasion and takeover of the islands went was rather quick, however some of the natives of the colony refused to submit to the king’s rule and formed an organized resistance, they continued to take up arms against the Kingdom and brought about a frustrating and protracted military campaign. After several major military victories 5 years after the invasion the islands were officially conquered and brought into the Kingdom as a colony of Pauldustllah. However while the natives of the islands were considered subjects of the kingdom they were not granted the full body of rights and privileges granted to those of the main land this is due to the fact that the kingdom suffered major losses of soldiers and noblemen. So in order to keep the Nobility from grumbling and as punishment for the rebellion the king granted those subjects on the colony half citizenship.
