Although the territory was divided de jure between the three colonies, besides the large {{wp|kola nut}} plantations, limited land grant areas for smallhold farmers, and urban centers, most of the territory of the three colonies was under the de facto political control of native Cronan peoples, who continued to reside in the area alongside the Coscivian and Levantine settlers.

After the Beaver War, Kiravia was mostly without peer or legitimate rival in South [[Crona]], and after the war the presence of the Kiravian military within its colonies began to recede. Without a geopolitical rival in the area, the government in [[Kartika]] gradually began to cede governing authority over the three colonies to the XXX Company in the mid 1750s.

===National League of Crona and independence===

As concepts and thinkers related to the [[Kilikas Enlightenment]] became prominent in the three Cronan colonies of Farpoint, Songun Coast, and North Cape, many began to question both the pragmatic effect and ~~philsophical~~ basis for rule from [[Kartika]]. The first group to organize around these ideas was the ''Farpoint Correspondence Society'', which was briefly suppressed by colonial authorities but later allowed as a conciliatory measure. Similar societies sprung up among the educated elite of the major cities of the colonies, and in 1784 the various socieiies formed the National League of Crona, an organization that not only intended to lobby for greater political autonomy in Crona but also conducted research and debate about their own national identity. In time, the National League would come to be a pseudo-political party and even a geopolitical organizing entity. Efforts to reach out to [[The Cape|the Cape colonies]] for inclusion in the National League met with only limited interest.

Within the context of increased company control over the South Cronan colonies, several new ideas began to proliferate throughout the Cronan colonies in the 1760s. Historians cite two sources for these: concepts and thinkers related to the [[Kilikas Enlightenment]] from [[Kiravia]] began to spread, but the recently incorporated [[Urcean people|Urcean]] settlers of the [[Julian belt]] continued to adhere to their [[Culture_of_Urcea#Attitudes_and_worldview|traditional worldview on society and government]], viewpoints that spread to the Coscivian heritage settlers as well.
