The initial | The '''military frontier''' was not a constituent state of New Harren but existed as a territory of the Kingdom from its incorporation in [[2010]] through [[2032]], though its size was drastically altered between its formation and dissolution. The initial [[Treaty of Narasseta]] contemplated the creation of a transitory zone between New Harren and Algoquona's borders which would allow traditional migratory peoples to continue their way of life undisturbed while also allowing historic grazing patterns to continue. It was initially envisioned that the frontier would be patrolled by the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] rather than using static border protections in order to ensure the maximum viability of the project. Over time, it became evident that [[Algoquona]] would not create the corresponding transitory area provided for under the treaty, gradually leading to militarization of the frontier area. | ||
The military frontier was governed directly by local commanders of the Royal and Imperial Army with consultation and coordination with the government in Port St. Charles. It was divided into various military zones of operation, which at times also included jurisdiction of adjoining active state militia forces. Disputes between Port St. Charles and [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] throughout the 2010s led to a gradual reduction of the mandate of military commanders over local resources and forces, but with the beginning of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] zone commanders received functionally unlimited power to act and control local forces. These zone commands were gradually transferred to the new [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] as Urcean regular forces redeployed to face [[Varshan]]. | |||
In its initial construction, the military frontier stretched from New Harren's northwestern border with Algoquona in the free tribal area to the eastern coast in the Tonawandis dominion, and was roughly ten miles deep. Some alterations were made to the territory in the period between [[2013]] and [[2018]], removing and adding territory based on natural geographic features at the request of the constituent members. By [[2020]], the frontier was just a mile wide at its smallest point and 50 miles wide at its deepest. | |||
The Final War of the Deluge significantly altered the character and nature of the military frontier. As Algoquona was slowly beaten back and territory removed from it, new lands were provisionally added to the military frontier as its martial nature allowed for quick transition to military governance. The establishment of the [[Nysdra Provisional Republic]] negated the need for most of the initial boundary of the frontier. New territories added to the Kingdom following the annexation of the Republic and subsequent addition of plurality Algosh-populated buffer zones required a major expansion of the military frontier, which was confirmed in [[2024]]. Although its original purpose was no longer present, the military frontier became the de facto method of organizing the large amounts of unorganized, unincorporated territory added to the Kingdom. It would become a major political issue in the late 2020s, as the central government and various constituent states disagreed over the future of these territories. | |||
In [[2032]], the central government began to partition the military frontier. The Mixcala were given a large {{wp|exclave}} of territory in exchange for their sale of the Condominium of Weluta-New Mixcala to the Rectory of New Harren. Most of the frontier was partitioned among the Tonawandis and Cheektowaga dominions who had traditional pastoral uses of the territory. One of the most prominent free cities, Canisteo, was joined to portions of the frontier it had longstanding economic and social relationships with to become the new Dominion of Canisteo. | |||
