During the early 1900s, Tolu Manatu was considered a Territory of Second Class, which gave its citizens the right to travel freely to metropolitan Cartadania and its other territories, but limited its rights within the union as compared to territories of First Class, which enjoyed much of the same freedoms as the states. Though Cartadania kept to its promises of protection and retention of the archipelago's culture, the [[Great War]] increasingly strained Cartadania to the point of Congress essentially exhausting a large portion of its resources to the islands. Though its consequences were short lived, the short-term impact was quite severe as many living in the islands had grown accustomed to the way of life introduced to them. In hearing of the war, many of the Cartadanian-born residents left the islands to serve in the war, leaving behind many families and children. Perhaps ironically, a large swath of Lotoans also enlisted and traveled to [[Amar]] in [[Porta Bianca]], where they assisted in improving maritime travel technology and served mostly in the [[Cartadanian Navy|Navy]], as they had great experience in being on the water for extended periods of time. | During the early 1900s, Tolu Manatu was considered a Territory of Second Class, which gave its citizens the right to travel freely to metropolitan Cartadania and its other territories, but limited its rights within the union as compared to territories of First Class, which enjoyed much of the same freedoms as the states.

Following the war's closing and Cartadania's expulsion of Galicia and Porlos, Congress again set its sights on Lotoa, this time with way more ability and money to boot. Again, Lotoa began a time of prosperity and Cartadania introduced new technologies to the islands, such as cars. Lotoa's high council, to the surprise of now-Queen Telila, advocated for the full inclusion of Lotoa into the union, and Congress, seeing it as an opportunity to expand its knowledge base and other aspects of its union, accepted this concept of a fully-integrated territory. Thus, the process began as it had with many other territories, to determine the conditions and codes of the new territory, and on 3 January 1980, Lotoa became a Territory of First Class and was the most recent territory to do so until [[Santa Domenica]] followed suit in 2008. | Following the war's closing and Cartadania's expulsion of Galicia and Porlos, Congress again set its sights on Lotoa, this time with way more ability and money to boot.
