Nauta Normand has been a seasonal fishing, sealing, and whaling station for [[Coscivian]]s for centuries. It was not permanently settled until the Burgoignesc arrived in the 1700s. For the first half century the [[Coscivian]]s and whalers from the [[Duchy of Martilles]] co-habitated the island during the various whaling, fishing, and sealing seasons. | Nauta Normand has been a seasonal fishing, sealing, and whaling station for [[Coscivian]]s for centuries.

[[1753]] | In the summer of [[1748]] the [[Duchy of Martilles]] set charged the [[Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company|Martillien North Levantine Trading Company (MNLTC)]] to establish a year-round presence on the island. Harsh winter conditions killed or forced the retreat of the first three expeditions. However, in [[1753]] the Martilliens were able to survive the winter and established the Nauta Normand colony in the modern capital, Soix. The colony was administered by the MNLTC for the next 123 years. During that time there were numerous small clashes with [[Kiravia]] as part of the [[Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars]] but none that caused the island’s sovereignty to come into question. | ||
