Constituent states of New Harren: Difference between revisions

Port St. Charles, governed as a polis, is the oldest city in the Rectory of New Harren. Originally serving as an important coaling station into "inner Crona" (the internal Sea of Nysdra region), the city became an important military port in the years leading up to the [[Second Great War]], as the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] established the city as the headquarters of the new [[Royal Navy (Urcea)#Fleet%20Structure|Nysdra Squadron]], established in 1927 to protect the colony from foreign aggression. The colony was not harmed during the war, and following the conflict some veterans were given parcels of land in the colony. Despite these developments, New Harren remained somewhat populous for a colony but largely irrelevant until the [[War of the Northern Confederation]] and discovery of uranium further north. With the establishment of the Kingdom, the Rectory of New Harren has become the cosmopolitan hub of the Kingdom and residence for many non-Levantine descended New Harrenic. Port St. Charles, as the Kingdom's capital city, has grown substantially with the establishment of political and diplomatic quarters; a large service economy has grown up around the Kingdom's central government apparatus, leading to beneficial ripple effects throughout the entire Rectory. The Rectory's population is overwhelmingly of Levantine descent, with 93.1% of the population in 2024 recording "some or entire Levantine ancestry", though the non-Levantine population is on the rise as Port St. Charles continues to grow as an economic hub. The growth of the city and attraction of people throughout the Kingdom has turned Port St. Charles - and the Rectory as a whole - into a cultural melting pot, developing new and interesting variations on both indigenous and Levantine cultural traditions.

In [[2032]], the Rectory annexed most of the territory that was previously part of the Condominium of Weluta-New Mixcala. The territory, at the time of annexation, was about two-thirds indigienous with one-third Levantine-origin minority. This new northern portion of the Rectory has become a major site of settlement of refugees from Varshan, filling the vacancies left by the disposessed Tepetlcali people. With the annexation, Rectory officials changed policies officially allowing the Tepetlcali people to return and settle in their homeland.

The annexation of the condominium has had an overall net negative effect on the overall statistical wealth of the Rectory, though significant public investments into the area are planned. In addition to the return of the Tepetlcali people, large tracts of land have been set aside for purchase by Levantine settlers or for settlement by Varshani refugees.

The Rectory is largely urbanized and has extensively developed infrastructure, ranging from highways, railways, and the nation's only major international airport. Port St. Charles is a major seaport in the [[Nysdra Sea]] and northern [[Crona]] region.
