 The [[Trade War of Farmandie]] spanned from [[1713]]-[[1748]] and was the precurser to its neglect (from [[1745]]) and self goverment period (from [[1748]] to [[1788]]). The seas around the island were rich in {{wpl|Whaling}}, and [[Seal]] but the cost and expense to extract, process them, and transport them safely was not worth the price. This was especially true of [[Kiravia]] whose nearest colony was [[Sarolasta]] through the [[Polynesian Sea]] leaving them vulnerable to [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] commerce raiding before they came into the protection of their own fleets protective range. Alternatively, the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] could hug the coast until they reached [[Sudmoll|Sud Moll Colony]] and then [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] and their respective colonial fleets. [[Nevisar Austral & Antarctic Company]] didn't fully abandon their colony on Farmandie until both nations were forced to focus elsewhere in the [[1740s]] but the [[Nevisar Austral & Antarctic Company|NAAC]] put less focus on the island than did the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]]. Both colonies forming naval militias but the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]] garrisoned 100 troops and a small but permanant naval presence on the island in [[1719]], a cost the [[Nevisar Austral & Antarctic Company]] did not feel was justified.
 ===Neglect and self goverment (1743-1788)===
-The extremely long sea voyages in often unpredictably harsh and cold weather conditions resulted in that both colonies got deemed a waste of time and resources by their colonial overlords and the colonies got sent fewer and fewer resupply shipments until they were completely forgotten and neglected. This led the two colonies to get almost completely isolated from the rest of the world by 1745. The colonies realised their neglegted state on winter of [[1748]] after not receiving any shipments for 3 years straight the two colonies agreed to settle their differences and merge together as one larger settlement in favour of working together to survive on the island. This is often referred as the establisment of the capital [[Kæn]], the first town on the [[Isle of Farmandie]]. In the beginning the former hostilities still fresh in memory complemented with language barrier, food shortage and the punishing conditions led to settlers developing heavy drinking habits and grudges between the two ethnic groups. Disagreement especially between individuals of different ethnicities often led to violent escalations on a major scale after a heavy night of drinking. These drunken group fights were often referred as the small civil wars.

 ====Kæn====
-The town of [[Kæn]] was established on the mouth of [[River Vænd]] in late winter of [[1748]] after the signing of the [[peace treaty of River Vænd]] that ended the 35 year long [[Trade War of Farmandie]] between [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]] and [[Nevisar Austral & Antarctic Company|NAAC]]. Both sides agreed to sign a peace treaty after learning that either side had not received any resupply for 3 years and would be better off by working together and combining and rationing their extremely low stocks. The first buildings of the town of [[Kæn]] were built out of repurposed lumber from the fortifications that protected the former settlements from hostile actions.

 ===Recolonisation attemp (1789-1812)===
 In summer of [[1789]] a small [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]] fleet arrived on the eastern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]]. It was the first [[Burgoignesc]] trade fleet in 43 years after the previous trade fleet had sailed from [[Kæn]] never to return. Because of the extremely bad weather conditions around the northern and northeastern coast at the time the crew was forced to get ashore at [[place_name]] instead of their intended destination [[Kæn]] on the northern coast of the island.
