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. | In [[2015]], Urcea began efforts to organize eastern Venua'tino into a state due to its comparatively high urbanization and relative cohesion.

Beginning in late [[2026]], [[Urcea]] began the voluntary resettlement and relocation of some families from [[Varshan]] and the [[Seneca Islands]] to sparsely settled coastal regions of Venua'tino. These groups established the so-called "Captaincy Colonies". Many of these individuals purportedly claim Captaincy-era heritage from Venua'tino prior to their enslavement and deportation to Varshan. Urcean administrators have stated the preference for "repatriation" rather than "colonization", but a 2029 [[League of Nations]] report indicated that many settlers had completely unsubstantiated claims of ancestry and that the resettlement program "were largely accepting any applicants." As of [[2031]], approximately 2,000 Varshanis had been resettled or had completed their application for resettlement. | Beginning in late [[2026]], [[Urcea]] began the voluntary resettlement and relocation of some families from [[Varshan]] and the [[Seneca Islands]] to sparsely settled coastal regions of Venua'tino.

Urcea's continued control over the region has led to numerous critics - both within Urcea and abroad - making a negative comparison between the Urcean-controlled Mandate and the Varshani-controlled Captaincy. | Urcea's continued control over the region has led to numerous critics - both within Urcea and abroad - making a negative comparison between the Urcean-controlled Mandate and the Varshani-controlled Captaincy. |
