However, the seeds of decline were sown during this period ([[1785]]-[[1795]]). The [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|SSETC]] became increasingly corrupt and focused on prestige, neglecting efficient administration and development. The vast size and mismanagement of the [[Cote d'Or colony]] proved unsustainable, leading to discontent and separatist movements. High taxes and tariffs on both settlers and native populations fueled resentment, while insensitive leadership and disregard for native customs sparked widespread mutinies within native regiments. The Great Rebellion of Slavery Bay ignited a domino effect, leading to uprisings across major colonies, a mass exodus of [[Occidental]] settlers, and plunging the colonies into chaos. Poor leadership and internal conflicts within both the colonies and the [[History_of_Dericania#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Marialanii metropole]] ultimately resulted in the loss of [[Cote d'Or colony]].

The legacy of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonization]] remains deeply embedded in contemporary Kandara. While resistance left its mark, lingering influences of [[Burgoignesc language]], religion ([[Mercantile Reform Protestantism]]), and architecture are still discernible. The extractive colonial economy left Kandara with depleted resources and underdeveloped infrastructure, contributing to its current status as a least developed country. Perhaps most significantly, the fractured tribal landscape exploited by the [[Bergendii]] continues to influence Kandara's political complexities and internal divisions, shaping the nation's ongoing, violent pursuit of unity and development.

====Colonial administration====

In [[Cote d'Or colony|Cote d'Or]], power flowed downwards from the [[History_of_Dericania#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Duke of Marialanus]], through the appointed Governor-General and the ever-watchful [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|South Sea Expedition Company (SSETC)]]. At the heart of the system lay the [[patroon]]s, powerful individuals granted vast Latifundia in exchange for loyalty, resource extraction, and settlement development. These semi-autonomous lords held sway over their domains, levying taxes, administering justice, and commanding local militias.

Tenant farmers and non-patroon settlers, primarily [[Deric]] and [[Bergendii]] protestant immigrants, possessed a limited voice through a Colonial Council. This body, however, held little real power, serving more as an advisory board than a true decision-making body. The Kandari people, meanwhile, were excluded entirely from formal power structures, governed only by their own traditions and facing limited opportunities within the colonial hierarchy.

This system, initially designed for efficiency, shifted towards authoritarianism as challenges arose. Mounting resistance, internal corruption, and economic pressures led to stricter controls, increased military presence, and marginalization of both the Kandari and the Colonial Council. Local militias were replaced by professional regiments controlled by the Governor-General, tightening the grip of the central administration.

Cote d'Or's administration thus reflected a stark hierarchy, with wealth and influence concentrated in the hands of the colonial elite. While non-[[patroon]] settlers held a semblance of participation, the Kandari people remained disenfranchised, foreshadowing the tensions and conflicts that would mark the colony's future.
