Kiravian military supremacy and political control was more complete and secure over Æonara, as a relatively smaller offshore landmass (along with Tævuon, an even smaller island), than on the South Cronan mainland, and as such, it was regarded as a safer destination for aspiring smallholders and families emigrating from [[Great Kirav]]. By the time of the National Revolution in the Cape, around three-quarters of the population of Æonara were either mestiço or Coscivised Cronite ''[[Kolakoskem]]'' ("Land Coscivians") or creole ''Farakoskem'' ("Sea Coscivians") of Kiravian extraction; a markedly higher proportion than on the Mainland. For this reason and others, the revolutionary spirit did not burn brightly in Æonara, which emerged as a key Loyalist stronghold. | |||
After the success of the National Revolution and the Kiravian withdrawal from the Cape, Æonara was flooded with Loyalist emigrés and became the new base for government bureaux and numerous commercial enterprises previously located in [[Cape Town]]. | |||
The Loyalist emigrés tended to be of an archconservative and Coscivian imperialist mindset and were staunchly opposed to modernist ideologies such as nationalism and socialism. Keen on preventing the revolution in the Cape from replicating itself in Æonara or the other colonies, prominent Loyalists organised themselves into a fraternal association, the United Empire Loyalists, through which they and their descendants would become an eminent political and social force in Æonara until the [[Kiravian Sunderance|Sunderance]], after which they would continue to influence the ruling [[Renaissance Party]]. | |||
