The day the [[Otisco Purchase]] was signed - 17 January 2032 - it took effect. Accordingly, that day the [[Concilium Daoni]] approved the sale and also passed the Governance in North Nysdra Act, formally establishing Otisco's Rectory government. The first Rector, Ambrose Hartnett, was dispatched to Otisco in the early morning hours of 18 January. From 18 January until 20 February, Hartnett governed the territory from the Mandate headquarters in [[Shenendehowa Bay]] as the first major refugee settlement-city, Fort St. Francis, was still being assembled. The Rectory government moved into Fort St. Francis - a settlement on Skanateles of about a thousand Varshanis and four hundred Urceans in prefabricated structures and trailers - at noon on 20 February.

The [[Pachoy Rebellion]] in [[Pachaug]] created a large number of criminals who had participated in an unlawful uprising against Pachaug's government. Due to the small nature of the country as well as the politically problematic status of many of the rebellion's leaders, it was determined that the criminals would have to be detained outside of Pachaug's borders. This was accentuated by the fact that many of its leaders and most prominent fighters were sentenced to life in exile. Accordingly, in November, a joint meeting of [[NSTA]] leaders determined to create a penal colony on the northern tip of Skanateles. The [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] corps of engineers began to lay out a basic grid system, imported hundreds of trailers and prefabricated buildings, and several public administrators were hired from [[Levantia]] to offer basic services in the new penal colony. The prisoners began to arrive in late December, choosing to call their new city Arononia - named for their leader Mikaere Arono. The city was formally chartered on 17 January [[2033]] under this name. The city was divided into a "cordoned" district - that is, the inner part of the city from which access in-and-out was loosely restricted as a condition of the exile - and the "support" district, made up of Levantine and Cusinauti employees who work in public administration and private enterprises in and around the city. In July [[2033]], families of exiles were allowed to relocat to the city. As of [[2035]], the population of Arononia was approximately 1,200, about half of whom were Pachoy and the other half were Cusinauti or Levantine.

In [[2034]], access in and out of the cordoned district was loosened further, with new foreign transport security measures placed on the territory as a whole instead. As of [[2035]], the population of Arononia was approximately 1,200, about half of whom were Pachoy and the other half were Cusinauti or Levantine.
