New Ardmore: Difference between revisions

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.
