In [[2018]], the region was bisected by the creation of the [[International Nature Preserve]] in the sparsely populated central region of Venua'tino. The bisection divided the territory into Western Venua'tino and Eastern Venua'tino, which both remained under the purview of the League Commission but under now seperate departments. The creation of the Preserve also precipitated the compensated relocation of the few tribes and peoples living within its boundaries, leading to the growth of small settlements in the remaining Mandate territory into moderate sized cities in the Mandate interior. These cities, an unprecedented development in the history of Venua'tino, created an opportunity for cultural exchange as well as cultural tensions. These new cities also required major investment into infrastructure by [[Urcea]], which began in earnest with the construction of highway networks throughout both Eastern and Western Venua'tino. In [[2018]], [[Quicksilver Industries]] arranged a [[international charter city]] treaty with [[Shenendehowa Bay]], removing it from the territory.

In [[2019]], a major conflict broke out between the tribes and cities of Eastern Venua'tino, ostensibly over broken agreements between once-rival tribes. The [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] began an occupation of the entire Eastern Venua'tino region that year, ending the conflict and beginning negotiations for the establishment of a new, confederated state. Negotiations broke down several times in both 2019 and [[2020]], leading to low level skirmishes, before negotiations resumed in earnest in the autumn of 2020. With the outbreak of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], troop levels were drawn down and negotiations once again came to a halt as many local parties refused to consider a confederation agreement similar to [[New Harren]] until Urcea proved itself able to protect its Cronan allies. Negotiating breakthroughs occurred in 2023 and by 2024 the Treaty of Halfway was signed by the major local parties, establishing the Republic of [[Copake]] on January 1st, 2025. International experts and local parties collaboratively spent 2024 laying the groundwork for the basics of a state.
In [[2015]], Urcea began efforts to organize eastern Venua'tino into a state due to its comparatively high urbanization and relative cohesion. These proceedings were halted by the [[Final War of the Deluge]] and several skirmishes between rival parties took place during the conflict, slowing progress. An agreement was finally reached with the Treaty of Halfway in 2024. On 1 January 2025, the Republic of Copake was officially formed. The Republic is currently in the process of creating an initial constitution, currently being governed on a provisional basis under the terms of the Treaty.


On January 1st, [[2025]], Eastern Venua'tino officially became the Republic of [[Copake]], reducing Mandatory Venua'tino to its western portion.
