Rovaīon became an important node in the Kiravian overseas trade network, serving as a permanent base for merchants trading with [[Oyashima]], [[Kagoyama]], and [[Metzetta]] (and later [[Corumm]] and [[Tanhai]]), linking ports in these countries to [[Cape Town]] and [[Cities of Kiravia#Sar-i-Pául|Sar-i-Pául]], from whence Alshari wares could pass on to the valuable markets of [[Sarpedon]] or to [[Great Kirav]] itself, and where Kiravian exports (such as whiskey) could be taken on for the return voyage west. The infrastructure required to facilitate such business in Rovaīon and maintain a strong naval presence there to protect the Kiravian merchant marine required more in terms of food and basic materials than was feasible to reliably import from the Cape, and more than local indigenous economies were equipped to provide at scale. This encouraged the development of a colonial primary sector manned by a transplanted productive class of Kiravian farmers, fishermen, and lumberers, and the concomitant formation of a {{wp|settler society}} on Rovaīon and nearby parts of mainland Cusinaut. | Rovaīon became an important node in the Kiravian overseas trade network, serving as a permanent base for merchants trading with [[Oyashima]], [[Kagoyama]], and [[Metzetta]] (and later [[Corumm]] and [[Tanhai]]), linking ports in these countries to [[Cape Town]] and [[Cities of Kiravia#Sar-i-Pául|Sar-i-Pául]], from whence Alshari wares could pass on to the valuable markets of [[Sarpedon]] or to [[Great Kirav]] itself, and where Kiravian exports (such as whiskey) could be taken on for the return voyage west.

The Corned Beef Excise Dispute of 1672 moved colonists living in the mainland settlements to agitate for a separate legislature, which was granted by the Porfíria Act of 1674, though Rovaīon and the mainland settlements continued to share a high court and a governor. Rovaīon was separated from Porfíria and granted its own charter in 1680. | |||
