With a rapidly increasing population, post-war Nolis began to industrialize. Retaining its war-time status as a neutral port, the city’s economic output continued to grow as it became the focus of both Urcean and Caphirian investment. The city’s unique position allowed it to become a financial centre, especially as waves of immigrants arrived from across Sarpedon. | With a rapidly increasing population, post-war Nolis began to industrialize.

The arrival of new immigrants, and the increase of the dominion’s population to 3 million by the late 1960s, brought a host of social tensions. Many of these immigrants faced both economic and social challenges. Therefore, the dominion government attempted reform; establishing a rapid transit network, improving housing, and introducing partially-free elections. Although these were successful, they failed to address the political differences between the new immigrants and the existing culturally Urcean dominated society.

Although these were successful, they failed to address the political differences between the new immigrants and the existing culturally Urcean dominated society. In 1969, a series of protests broke out across the city as a response to a proposal brought forth by the then-powerful Catholic Church to extend the reach of the dominion’s canon law legal system. This led to increased calls for secularization from Nolis’ Istroyan majority, which led to the drafting of a new, secular Basic Law. | ||
As a dominion under the Urcean crown, Nolisian constitutional changes still required approval from Urceopolis. From 1933, the constitution was primarily contained in the Urcean Nolis Act, passed by the Concilium Daoni. Although the new Basic Law was passed by the Legislative Council of Nolis almost unanimously, its final approval faced much opposition from Urcean lawmakers. As such, the Executive Council began planning a referendum proposing a declaration of independence and a republic of Nolis in the case of Urcean refusal. Following 14 months of political rhetoric and deadlock, in an attempt to keep the city under the crown, the new Basic Law, and an article of patriation, was finally approved by a narrow margin in the Concilium. | As a dominion under the Urcean crown, Nolisian constitutional changes still required approval from Urceopolis.
