In the 21st century, the military applications of the island declined, and the tourist industry grew rapidly. In [[2014]], Urcea acquired the island in exchange for [[Antilles]] as part of a mutual strategic interest realignment on [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]]'s parts. [[Urcea]]'s ownership of the island lead to a renewal of military and fueling efforts on the island given its position nearly halfway between [[Levantia]] and [[New Harren]].

=== St. Agnes Prison ===
St. Agnes was a private prison operated on Medimeria by the Dreyfuse Corporation. They held an unofficial and unpublicised event each year that was streamed live on the dark web each year. The ''Jocs de llibertat'' (Eng. Games of Freedom) were a deathmatch between criminals who are sentenced to die. The winner was awarded a private cell with almost any request granted, short of release. This typically was satisfied with not having to adhere to dress codes and schedules, the services of prostitutes, meals of their choosing, and unlimited access to the commissary. The Dreyfuse Corporation was estimated to make $430 million off of the event each year as of the early 2000s. It is difficult for the [[Revenue Guard]] to determine exactly how much was brought in because access is purchased with cryptocurrency and funneled through a number of money laundering fronts before it reached the Dreyfuse Corporation's coffers. While efforts to stop the practice have intensified in recent years, prisoners, as well as viewers around the world, have pushed back strongly.
The Games of Freedom came to an end with the closure of the prison and transfer of the prisoners to [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy|Burgoignesc possessions]] elsewhere.
