Due to their nomadic lifestyle and their disinterest in engaging the [[occidental]]s, the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Marialanii Ularien Trading Company]] largely left the Bedouins of the Bulkawan Peninsula alone and built their colonies around them. By the 1630s timber from Majanub was being brought to build a sprawling complex of fortified towns and salt mining operations. Businesses to support the efforts became very lucrative and wainwrights, shipwrights, and engineers flocked to the area. Beyond the Chott al-Rezid the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]] build operations at the Chott al-Mouza and the Ben Ghilli Salt Flats. These operations brought millions into the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]]’s coffers and is one of the primary financial activities that allowed for unfettered expansion in [[Audonia]] and [[Alshar]]. The salt mines brought tens of thousands of colonists from [[Burgundie]], the Levantine Protestant communities on [[Torlen]] and [[Medimeria]], as well as from other parts of [[Audonia]]. The port cities of Avelie and Sant Marten both surpassed 20,000 residents in the 1690s making them bigger than [[Vilauristre]] and [[ | Due to their nomadic lifestyle and their disinterest in engaging the [[occidental]]s, the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Marialanii Ularien Trading Company]] largely left the Bedouins of the Bulkawan Peninsula alone and built their colonies around them.

The back-breaking work and the blistering heat made for a seedy type coming to seek work in the colony of Bulkawa. This led to rapid development of the vice sectors like prostitution and drinking halls. It also required the establishment of a vast drinking liquid network. This drove the development of the tea plantations in Vitale, [[Pukhgundi]], and other parts of [[Alshar]]. Becoming the most profitable colony of the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]] also made it the most important and the center for the formation of the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Marialanii Ularien Trading Company]]. Seeking to exert more control on the political environment that fed into its colonies and to which it exported, the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]] formed a government in Avelie and formalized its army, navy, and diplomatic corps reorganizing itself as the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Marialanii Ularien Trading Empire]]. This was met by outrage in many nations both in [[Audonia]] and the [[Occidental]] world, however fear of embargo brought most countries to recognize the sovereignty of the empire in [[1757]]. | ||
In the Presidency Act of 1771, the Presidency of Bulkhawan was announced, covering much of the colony of Bulkhawa but ceded some of the western interior to the nomads as they were pushed out and forced to renounce their nomadic traditions. This led to intense bad blood between the colonial state and the locals. Colonial Battagnuuri knights were brought into to escort the Bedouins from their villages but clashes erupted in a number of areas leading to the massacre of the tribal peoples. In the 840 recorded Bedouin encampments in the area with an estimated population of 969,000 people, only 694 encampments and 539,000 people were successfully relocated. The remainder were assumed killed or dispersed into the vast desert waste. The brutal effectiveness of this dispossession of tribal homelands become a model for colonial powers post-independence powers for centuries afterwards. These “Trails of Trauma” paved the way for a huge boom in colonial growth and land redistribution. Vast areas formally reserved for the Bedouin were settled and huge irrigation projects were started to reclaim parts of the desert that were adjacent to littoral areas. There was even an ambitious plan to dredge a channel to the salt-stripped Chott al-Mouza in [[1793]] that was never realized. | In the Presidency Act of 1771, the Presidency of Bulkhawan was announced, covering much of the colony of Bulkhawa but ceded some of the western interior to the nomads as they were pushed out and forced to renounce their nomadic traditions.
