The island rebuilt in time for the [[Second Great War]], when it was invaded and occupied by the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Royal Marine Corps (Urcea)|Royal Marine Corps]] in [[1938]]. The island was subsequently ceded to [[Urcea]] as part of the [[Treaty of Kartika]]. Due to the symbolic significance of the Messisorian Kingdom and [[Veltorine people|Veltorine]] majority on the island, the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]] relocated to the island in 1943. Negotiations between the [[Government of Urcea]] and government-in-exile began with the possibility of the government-in-exile assuming autonomous control of Herciana as some kind of free state, but the issue was a red line for [[Caphiria]] which threatened resuming war in [[1948]]. An early victory for the Caphirians in the [[Occidental Cold War]], negotiations were cut off and the government-in-exile was relocated to [[Lariana]]. After being governed by a provisional military rectory from 1938 to 1948, a civilian [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|Rectory]] government was established in 1948. | The island rebuilt in time for the [[Second Great War]], when it was invaded and occupied by the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Royal Marine Corps (Urcea)|Royal Marine Corps]] in [[1938]].

Herciana was the site of significant militarization during the [[Occidental Cold War]], with the construction of an expansive [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] base completed in 1951. The island was significantly invested in by the Urcean government until about 1970 as part of propaganda efforts to induce [[Veltorine diaspora]] to relocate to the island, efforts which were only partly successful and the project was later abandoned. Herciana saw significant out-migration with the establishment of [[Cetsencalia]] (now [[New Veltorina]]) in [[Crona]], with about twenty thousand Herci leaving the island for Crona since [[2016]]. | Herciana was the site of significant militarization during the [[Occidental Cold War]], with the construction of an expansive [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] base completed in 1951.

The signing of the [[Assumption Accords]] and end of the Cold War in [[1984]] was a mixed outcome for the island. Military investment dropped off dramatically, but net economic activity rose somewhat due to new markets available in neigboring [[Caphiria]]. The 1984 settlement was generally unpopular with the ethnically Veltorine Herci, but anger about the Accords generally receded as the economic benefits became clear.
