Argaea was lightly colonized by the [[Duchy of Martilles]] from [[1705]]-[[1875]] as a whaling station and later as a penguin and ice factory. It was never a full-fledged colony and as never self-sufficient, but its revenue was important to the [[Duchy of Martilles|Duchy]] and the ice gave the [[Duchy of Martilles|Metropole]] a taste for refinement. The colony never had permanent population of more than 200 people, mostly men, spread across three whaling stations on Argaea Maior and Argaea Minor. | |||
