Talk:Farmandie: Difference between revisions

The Trade War of Farmandie spanned from [[1713]]-[[1724]] and was the precurser to its neglect and self goverment period from ([[1743]]-[[1788]]). The island was rich in [[RESOURCES]] but the cost and expense to extract them and transport them safely was not worth the price. This was especially true of [[Kiravia]] whose nearest colony was [[Sarolasta]] through the [[Polynesian Sea]] leaving them vulnerable to [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] commerce raiding before they came into the protection of their own fleets protective range. Alternatively, the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] could hug the coast until they reached [[Sudmoll|Sud Moll Colony]] and then [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] and their respective colonial fleets. [[Kiravia]] didn't fully abandon their colony on Farmandie until both nations were forced to focus elsewhere in the 1740s but the [[Bay Trading Company]] put less focus on the island than did the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]]. Both colonies forming naval militias but the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]] garrisoned 100 troops and a small but permanant naval presence on the island in [[1719]], a cost the [[Bay Trading Company]] did not feel was justified.
