 ===State formation and mandate===
-In [[1967]], the [[League of Nations]] voted to establish an international mandate over [[Venua'tino]] which would eventually come under the protection of [[Urcea]]. Of the land so designated, Copake made up the vast majority of the habitable, non-tundra territory within the Mandate. The Urceans began a the project of forging a federated state in Eastern Venua'tino which would be able to represent the region on the world stage in 1980. The project involved significant cultural exchanges and efforts to forge local unity between political and cultural leaders, a four-decade long process that included politically contentious economic and educational investments by [[Urcea]]. Negotiations began to transfer sovereignty to a self-governing state began in [[2015]] against the backdrop of [[The Deluge]]. These proceedings were halted by the [[Final War of the Deluge]] and several skirmishes between rival parties took place during the conflict, slowing progress. An agreement was finally reached with the Treaty of Halfway in 2024. On 1 January 2025, the Republic of Copake was officially formed. The Republic is currently in the process of creating an initial constitution, currently being governed on a provisional basis under the terms of the Treaty.
+In [[1967]], the [[League of Nations]] voted to establish an international mandate over [[Venua'tino]] which would eventually come under the protection of [[Urcea]]. Of the land so designated, Copake made up the majority of the habitable, non-tundra territory within the Mandate. The Urceans began a the project of forging a federated state in Venua'tino with the [[Venua%27tino#Coastal_Coalition|Coastal Coalition]] in the 1970s, which many of the cities in southern Copake had been prominent leaders in. The failure of the Coalition in [[1979]] led to a period of multilateral engagement between Urcea and local polities, temporarily shelving the concept of a state in Venua'tino. The beginning of [[The Deluge]] reinvigorated the idea of statehood in Venua'tino, and Urcean leaders began to pursue the idea of partition to create a state or states in the area.  Negotiations began to transfer sovereignty to a self-governing state began in [[2015]] against the backdrop of the Deluge.
+In [[2019]], a major conflict broke out between the tribes and cities of Eastern Venua'tino, ostensibly over broken agreements between once-rival tribes. The [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] began an occupation of the entire Eastern Venua'tino region that year, ending the conflict and beginning negotiations for the establishment of a new, confederated state. Negotiations broke down several times in both 2019 and [[2020]], leading to low level skirmishes, before negotiations resumed in earnest in the autumn of 2020. With the outbreak of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], troop levels were drawn down and negotiations once again came to a halt as many local parties refused to consider a confederation agreement similar to [[New Harren]] until Urcea proved itself able to protect its Cronan allies. Negotiating breakthroughs occurred in 2023 and by 2024 the Treaty of Halfway was signed by the major local parties, establishing the Republic of Copake on January 1st, 2025. International experts and local parties collaboratively spent 2024 laying the groundwork for the basics of a state.
