Santiago became quite popular for immigration in the 18th century forward as well. Located just off the north shore of the Attalus Bay, Newport Island was also a primary point of entry. Cartadania also welcomed immigrants from across the Commonwealth, as well as by land border with Volonia and Caphiria. Cartadania's population dynamics began to change in the middle of the 19th century, though, as it joined the Industrial Revolution. The pace of industrial growth attracted millions of immigrants over the next century, with especially large numbers arriving from Aciria, Caphiria, Pelaxia, Volonia, and the Coscivian isles off Cartadania's west coast. | Santiago became quite popular for immigration in the 18th century forward as well.

The First Great War saw a shift in the opposite direction as Alahuela completely stopped all immigration from the east as a result of conflicts with Caphiria. The imperial encroachment of the continent left the country in disarray, and after the fall of the eastern states, Caphirians seeking asylum were turned away in droves in the first instance since the nation's inception. Veltorinans fleeing imperial reign were granted asylum but were required to present documentation proving their status. This became the status quo until the upheaval of the second Great War, where Cartadania annexed the land previously held back into its control. The policy on imperial immigration continued to stand, with Alahuela further imposing restrictions on [[ | The First Great War saw a shift in the opposite direction as Alahuela completely stopped all immigration from the east as a result of conflicts with Caphiria.

The policy on imperial immigration continued to stand, with Alahuela further imposing restrictions on [[Daxia]], [[Dericania]], and [[Faneria]], though Cartadania opened its borders to much of the rest of the world at this time. These restrictions fell, one by one, until Alahuela finally relaxed all restrictions on Caphirian immigration in 2014, restoring the prior 5-year rule. | ||

Irregular migration to Cartadania is the act of foreign nationals entering Cartadania, without government permission and in violation of the given nationality law, or staying beyond the termination date of a visa, also in violation of the law. Despite the positive attitudes towards immigration that Cartadania possesses, there are instances in which people illegally immigrate to Cartadania, such as during the restriction period from 1896 to 2014 when various restrictions were codified against Alstin (1896-1906), Caphiria, | Irregular migration to Cartadania is the act of foreign nationals entering Cartadania, without government permission and in violation of the given nationality law, or staying beyond the termination date of a visa, also in violation of the law.

The primary paths for this irregular migration was typically through obscurity (e.g., false citizenship in another country, entering via Lake Parima), avoidance (e.g., entering across the Volonian border), or by deliberance. | ||
In order to deal with the overwhelming numbers of illegal immigrants, the government initiated an amnesty in 2005 to reduce the problem, though some critics believe this will only encourage Chain migration. | In order to deal with the overwhelming numbers of illegal immigrants, the government initiated an amnesty in 2005 to reduce the problem, though some critics believe this will only encourage Chain migration. | ||
