===Death of the President-Regent and civil turmoil===
After the Kirosocialist takeover of the Kiravian mainland, Ardmore did not recognise the [[Kiravian Union]], instead remaining loyal to the [[Kiravian Remnant]]. Kirosocialism had never been popular in the islands, which had only a small industrial sector and rather narrow wealth disparities. Early on, Ardmore was considered a desirable haven for émigrés departing from the Eastern Seaboard. [[Koskenkorva]] was cold and underdeveloped, and the [[Suderavia]]n economy was under great strain due to the sudden influx of refugees. In contrast, Ardmore was warm and well-supplied, with secure lines of communication to Æonara, and was particularly inviting to Gaelic-speaking émigrés. However, with the defeat of the [[Farravonian Counterrevolution]] and the fall of Koskenkorva, it found itself in a less favourable position, which became acutely precarious in 1948 AD with the outbreak of the [[Carnish Revolution]]. With a communist victory looming in Carna and the overextended Remnant reeling from its defeats in Farravonia and Koskenkorva, the Kiravian administration of the islands urgently appealed to [[Urcea]] for aid. The Urcean government under [Procurator of the time] responded with a rapid deployment of the Royal and Imperial Army to the imperilled archipelago.
===Protectorate period===
With the civil apparatus of the Republic of Ardmore in shambles after five decades of rule by the President-Regent, pro-democratic elements managed to seize power. With an invasion by [[Ardmore]] appearing imminent, the new provisional government struck an accord with [[Kiravia]] to become a protectorate. Kiravian influence had been significant on the island since the 1950s, and a potential protectorate was proposed as early as 1960, though the prevailing [[Kirosocialist]] regime made such an agreement unlikely. The [[Treaty of Electorsbourg]] in 1989 officially transferred the islands to [[Kiravia]]n control, who established the Free State of New Ardmore; the Republic's government transferred its sovereignty to the Free State the same day the treaty was signed. As part of the Treaty, the new Free State no longer claimed sovereignty over the entirety of Ardmore and used the territorial name of "New Ardmore", long used abroad to refer to the rump state, as its new official name.
Although Ardmore would nominally maintain its allegiance to the Kiravian Remnant for the duration of the Sunderance, electing Delegates to the Rump Stanora and all that, the local administration came to operate largely independently of the Æonara authorities in its internal affairs, who were preöccupied with the Western Hemisphere and content to hold Ardmore by a long leash. Direct federal taxation of Ardmore was suspended by the Rump Stanora in [YEAR]. At the same time, Ardmore began to function as a ''de facto'' Urcean protectorate, becoming more reliant on the Apostolic Kingdom not only for military protection, but also for financial support, indirect diplomatic representation in many matters, and trade. Cut off from the Kiravian Union and Carnish economies, the economy of New Ardmore naturally reoriented itself toward Urcea and South Levantia, and the geopolitical worldview of its leadership and public shifted in this direction as well. Following the formation of the Levantine Union, Ardmore participated in the Levantine integration process on a bilateral basis, concluding a number of agreements with the supranational union and implementing many internal regulatory reforms to maintain synchrony with the LU economic space as it evolved.

The economy of New Ardmore was historically agrarian, and agriculture remains an important activity across much of the archipelago, although services now employ the majority of the Ardmorean workforce. Ardmoreans engaged in many maritime-related business ventures during the age of the sale, ranging from legitimate commerce, ship repair and oceanic fishing to smuggling, privateering, and piracy. These activities declined with advances in shipping technology, which led to a long-term economic downturn for the archipelago, but have since been replaced with growing tourism, distillation, and healthcare industries.

Remittances from Ardmoreans working in other parts of the Kiravian Federacy are crucial to the islands' economy, with up to 26% of Ardmorean households classified as remittance-dependent by the state's Department of Human Economics.
