Tracing its foundations to a wave of [[Urcea|Urcean]] colonization in southeastern [[Crona]] during the 17th century, New Archduchy gradually became the lone remnant of [[Urcean people|Urcean]] culture in the region as a result of the rising fortunes of nearby [[Coscivian]] colonies. Gradually developing a strong economy and political life, New Archduchy underwent significant changes in the late 19th century. Chafing from administrative centralizations and political disturbances in Urcea during that period, fissures grew between Urcea and the colony. The foormation [[Crown Regency]] gave the country the pretext to declare independence in 1890, and two years later the Republic was formally established under a new constitution. New Archduchy's transition to independence and democracy have been mostly perceived as smooth and the country's independence was recognized by [[Urcea]] in [[1903]]. | ||
During the 20th century, New Archduchy became a well-used neutral refueling station along the [[Odoneru]], leading to significant economic development and a focus on mercantile interests. It maintained neutrality during the [[Second Great War]], though it served as a waystation for covert operatives and weapons smuggling for both sides of the war. During the latter half of the 20th century the nation remained neutral during the [[Occidental Cold War]] and became a popular {{wp|tax haven}} and tourist destination, greatly enhancing the nation's wealth. The country is characterized by a deep religious faith, like [[Urcea]], as well as considerable economic inequality, especially between the primarily urban Levantine-descendant majority and the primarily rural indigenous minority groups. | During the 20th century, New Archduchy became a well-used neutral refueling station along the [[Odoneru]], leading to significant economic development and a focus on mercantile interests.
