=== Urcean incorporation ===

The Principality's traditional governance and autonomy would come to an end in the 1600s. Urcea had become the dominant power in [[Crotona]] and was ascendant in [[Tromarine]], giving it a significant presence in the [[Sea of Canete]]. This geopolitical change required a administrative reorganization to meet the new domestic political reality. After several years of negotiations and new laws implemented in the 1650s, the [[Kingdom of Crotona]] was established in [[1660]] as a consolidation of Urcea's insular territories. It formally abolished the role of Prince of Halfway, instead incorporating Halfway as a [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|rectory]] divided into six [[Government_of_Urcea#Prefectures|prefectures]]. The Great Court was allowed to remain intact primarily as an advisory body for the island's rector, now sent from the administrative court in Toulonium. In practice, however, the institutional inertia of the Great Court meant that the abolition of the role of Prince and Principal Vicar and their replacement with a mere Rector established the political supremacy of the Great Court. Several attempts by Toulonium and Urceopolis-based officials to abolish the Court were eventually abandoned by the time of the [[Caroline Wars]], and the crown granted a major concession to the local authorities in [[1745]] when the appointment of Rector was made subject to Great Court ratification.
