A period of popular resistance driven by Arzalist priests followed. The Daxian military enacted brutal mass reprisals and deportations that however succeded in quieting down the situation. Civilian varshani administrators were summarily dismissed, Arzalist shrines shuttered and all public gatherings of over three people prohibited. Whatever produce was imported from the mainland was requisitioned by the army to supplement its rations, the locals were introduced to a new diet consisting of disgusting [[Daxian Aspic|aspic]] food rations courtesy of [[Agario]]. Four months after introduction, there was a riot at a food distribution center in which twenty tons of aspic rations were set on fire. Daxian rule of the unruly islanders was becoming more expensive and less advantageous than previously thought. | ||

The economy of the islands is relatively developed and varied as they possess significant natural resources that the Varshani state sough to develop. Iles Evangeline have significant reserves of {{wpl|copper}} and thus strip mining of these is a major economic activity with an estimated production of four hundred thousand metric tons extracted in 2021. All of Iles Evangeline's copper mines are now under the control of the Department of Trade which is introducing the use of newer technology to increase copper production. Also present are large deposits of blue {{wpl|limestone}} and {{wpl|diorite}} which were highly valued by the Varshani for use in the construction of their monuments and temple complexes. So important were these materials to the mainland that most of the mines were nationalized and placed under the direct control of state run Arzalist foundations that directed the materials specifically to temples under construction in the mainland. Another important economic activity is the cultivation of {{wpl|aloe vera}}, which is used in Varshan's traditional medicine. Under Varshan rule, almost one third of the island's arable surface is dedicated to planting aloe fields. | The economy of the islands is relatively developed and varied as they possess significant natural resources that the Varshani state sough to develop.

The partial restoration of the [[Blood Fane of Buruso]] saw a marked uptick in arzalist pilgrimages to the site so much that the Varshan Control Commission lodged at formal complaint with Daxian authorities, fearful of arzalist proselytism.

The ethno-racial makeup of Iles Evangeline has changed considerable over the years. Originally lightly settled by peoples from [[Oyashima]] since around the year 200 CE, the islands never held more than a few thousands at their population peak. The disastrous aftermath of the Tezomoc Expedition for the [[Oyashima]] fleet led to an almost complete exodus from the islands, with [[Varshan]] bringing in thousands of its own laborers to work on the many mines on the islands in the late 19th century.

This demographic dominance by peoples of [[Varshan]] origin continues to the modern day, altough the brief [[Daxian]] rule and now the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] administration has resulted in the return of some [[Oyashima]]ns along with new [[Corumm]]ese, [[Rusana]]n, and [[Bergendii]] arrivals. [[Corumm]]ese and [[Rusana]]n residents were offered a stipend to leave the island upon the transfer of power to [[Burgundie]]. | ||
