<!-- The comparatively remote yet strategic location of the islands made them a haven for pirates and smugglers for some time. After Ardmore's incorporation into Kiravia, Kiravian authorities were often willing to turn a blind eye to these illicit maritime undertakings for the right price, and during times of war Ardmore was an important home port for privateers. -->
<!-- The Republic of New Ardmore enjoyed very close relations with the [[Kiravian Remnant]]. The two were in a very similar position as anti-socialist {{wp|rump state}}s on the losing end of socialist revolutions, both with an eye to retaking their respective mainlands. New Ardmore became a haven for political emigrés from Kiravia after [[Kiravian Civil War|its Civil War]], mainly of Gaelic, Féinan, or Ĥeiran backgrounds. The regency was especially welcoming to veterans of the anti-Kirsok 'Publican' militias who had combat experience and were willing to offer their services to the Prince-Regent. In 1941, the Ardmori Republic agreed to lease the Kiravian Remnant land on Island №2 and near Newshannon to build airfields in order to help maintain flights to [[Suderavia]] and [[Scapa]]. From 1950 to 1989 the Remnant rented a "material-technical support point" in Dunway Harbour to service vessels of its Odoneru Fleet. An unwritten agreement accompanying these leases was that Kiravian forces based in New Ardmore would be at the disposal of the Prince-Regent in the event of an invasion by Red Ardmore. Indeed, while neither party wanted to risk the provocation of a public mutual defence pact, it is now known that the two governments has an "enduring understanding" that they would aid one another militarily against their socialist counterparts. Prime Executive [[Séan Kæśek]] made several official visits to Rosmore, and reciprocally hosted the Prince-Regent several times in [[Sirana]] and [[Cities of Æonara#Vaśyansar|Vaśyansar]]. -->
