With the beginning of the Varshani occupation, most of the population of the region were removed from their nomadic way of life and centered in towns and villages which amounted to concentration camps; many contemporary Occidental scholars referred to this practice, which was used across Varshan and not just in Chakailan, as "slave manufacturies." During the occupation, the skill of the local tribes as guides and scouts continued to be valued, and many locals were enslaved for their work in the mountainous regions of Varshan where they would work capably for the Varshani overseers. Around 1910, it became stylish among high Varshani society to relocate their old or disabled slaves to remote parts of the state as a work of mercy and to instill the values of obedience to the young among the "lesser peoples" ruled from Anzo. While a majority of slaves who could no longer work were simply killed or sacrificed according to the tenets of [[Arzalism]], a significant number began to be relocated to what would become Chakailan in hopes that the old men might reproduce and create more strong and capable slaves while the disabled might prove to be an example to future slaves. Between 1910 and 1960, when social views shifted back towards predominant sacrifice, more than 75,000 slaves were deposited in what is now Chakailan, creating a massive cultural shift and integration of the mores, traditions, and cultures of those slaves into the native tribal populations. The type of work that the slaves were trained for also generally enhanced the "mountain man" culture and ethic that emerged within the country. In [[1980]], economic reforms in [[Varshan]] ended the grain delivery to the region, leading to the abandonment of the concentration camps and a resumption of nomadic grazing activity for most people, though the Varshani government also sponsored the creation of slave-worked plantations with new hybrid plants created by Occidental experts imported by the Anzo regime. The varieties of mountain agriculture now grown by a majority of the population for subsistence farming began with these imported scientific developments.

With the invasion of [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] forces in the [[Final War of the Deluge]], the area was quickly abandoned by the Varshani military as it was beyond the natural defendable borders of the country. Most Varshani overseers simply abandoned their plantations and other enterprises in the country with retreating Varshani forces, and economic devastation swept the countryside as most of the technical experts and managers left overnight. Occupied by Kiravian forces during the war, significant investment was done by the Kiravian government in education and restoration of the productive enterprises of the region. Most Chakailani instead took to the traditional nomadic lifestyle or subsistence farming on the lands of former plantations, which were divided up into lands with title by the occupying Kiravian forces in June 2023. Many refugees, most of them liberated slaves, came to settle in the area as the war progressed, with as many as 10,000 settling in the region. Local leaders began to organize a provisional government under Kiravian occupation in late 2023 and the area was determined by [[League of Nations Command]] to be capable of self-governance in March 2024, with its recommendations included in the Electorsbourg peace negotiations that commenced with the end of the war.
