The Rectory of New Harren began the new millennium stable, relatively prosperous, and with favorable relations with most of its neighbors in [[Cusinaut]]. It served as a primary trade hub through which Urcean and Levantine goods entered Cusinaut, increasingly becoming one of the primary economic hubs of the area. The territory remained partly militarized due to increasing instability within the [[Northern Confederation]] as well as negative relations with the neighboring Tepetlcali people. Various raids against parts of New Harren in [[2002]] and [[2003]] led to reprisals by the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]], damaging the Tepetlcali military and economic apparatus. Nevertheless, efforts were made to maintain a diplomatic posture until [[2006]], when severe fighting between the Tepetlcali and Mixcala people within the Confederation broke out. The Urcean government seized the opportunity to stabilize New Harren's northern border, forging an alliance with the Mixcala and beginning what would become the [[War of the Northern Confederation]]. The war saw Urcea and its local allies destroy the Tepetlcali as a political entity and also reorient several other neighboring tribal groups. The war also led to the [[Algosh coup]], transforming the unstable Northern Confederation into the outwardly hostile [[Algoquona]], dominated by ethnically Algosh people. | The Rectory of New Harren began the new millennium stable, relatively prosperous, and with favorable relations with most of its neighbors in [[Cusinaut]].

During the War of the Northern Confederation, New Harren became a critical staging ground for [[Urcean military]] forces, which saw the dramatic militarization of its northern border as well as an explosion of maritime and air transportation activity. Troops, supplies, and other wartime materiel were ferried into New Harren, particularly through Port St. Charles, greatly expanding the local economy. During this period, the Urcean diplomat Martin de Daphan used New Harren as a diplomatic hub of potential allies within the Northern Confederation. | |||

In the wake of the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], [[Urcea]]'s position in [[Cusinaut]] saw it in direct control of the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#New_Harren|Rectory of New Harren]], allied with the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#Mixcala|Mixcalan state]], sharing a condominium over the former [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#Weluta-New_Mixcala|Tepetlcali lands]], and with various treaties and agreements with several former members of the [[Northern Confederation]]. These agreements varied in type from legitimized military occupation to mutually agreed upon dependency. Prior to the war, a new confederation aligned with [[Urcea]] was envisioned, but the idea of incorporating the Rectory into a new confederated Kingdom structure was discussed among members of the [[Concilium Purpaidá]] as early as October of [[2009]] while the war was ongoing. The idea was proposed to Urcea's new allies and dependents in secret negotiations beginning in December of that year, and it was agreed the formation of a [[benefactor confederacy]] with [[Urcea]] as a strong hand might prevent the new confederation from collapsing as the [[Northern Confederation|old one had]]. | In the wake of the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], [[Urcea]]'s position in [[Cusinaut]] saw it in direct control of the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#New_Harren|Rectory of New Harren]], allied with the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#Mixcala|Mixcalan state]], sharing a condominium over the former [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#Weluta-New_Mixcala|Tepetlcali lands]], and with various treaties and agreements with several former members of the [[Northern Confederation]].

The newly reorganized state was formed by the Crona Organic Act of 2010, an act of the [[Concilium Daoni]] which formally divested Urcea of its Rectory territory and recognized its independence as a new [[House de Weluta|de Weluta]]-ruled realm. The incorporation of the constituent parts was alluded to by the Organic Act, but not formally accomplished until a treaty could be reached with each constituent part, a process which was completed by November of 2010. The Organic Act, the treaties, and the Conciliar Proclamation would form the basis of an {{wp|unwritten constitution}} for the Kingdom until [[2024]]. In December of 2010, [[Riordan VIII]] traveled to Port St. Charles and was crowned King of New Harren by the Archbishop on 4 December 2010. After his coronation, he held a council with the leaders of the various constituent parts in the traditional style of the [[Northern Confederation]], signifying his commitment to their traditional rights and autonomy. In the council, the King then issued the "Conciliar Proclamation", a document providing for the basic administrative and legislative governance of the confederation. The Proclamation had been negotiated beforehand, and all of the principal leaders accepted the Proclamation on behalf of their constituency. After the council, the local leaders offered obeisance to the King in the traditional [[Occidental]] manner before the King and leaders departed. | The newly reorganized state was formed by the Crona Organic Act of 2010, an act of the [[Concilium Daoni]] which formally divested Urcea of its Rectory territory and recognized its independence as a new [[House de Weluta|de Weluta]]-ruled realm.

Martin de Daphan, who was well known to the local leaders and who had been instrumental in forming the alliances which preceded in the Kingdom, was appointed Governor-General, de facto chief executive of the new Kingdom. | ||
