In the 21st century, the increased presence of the [[Urcea]]ns led to a gradual abandonment of the island by the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces|military]]. The arrival of the [[Urcea]]ns also greatly increased both the tourism and mining sectors on the island. In [[2014]], [[Urcea]] acquired the island in exchange for [[Antilles]] as part of a mutual strategic interest realignment on [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]]'s parts, and in that year the island was organized as a Rectory of Urcea with specific autonomous rights added to the law governing Urcea's overseas territories specifically to accomodate Medimeria's culture of self-governance. Urcean influence did slightly change the governance of the island, however, with the new Rector taking on the role similar to a president in a {{wp|parliamentary republic}} and political parties being organized on the island for the first time. | In the 21st century, the increased presence of the [[Urcea]]ns led to a gradual abandonment of the island by the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces|military]].

[[Urcea]]'s ownership of the island | [[Urcea]]'s ownership of the island led to a renewal of military and fueling efforts on the island given its position nearly halfway between [[Levantia]] and [[New Harren]]. The military facilities at Port Marie were significantly renovated between [[2016]] and [[2019]], adding increased base capacity for both ships and personnel. The island's small international airport was expanded significantly for increased civilian and military air traffic. Significant investments were also made into the island's emergent phosphate mining sector, and as of [[2030]] Medimeria's phosphate mines produce a large amount of the raw phosphate material used in fertilizers in [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] countries in addition to significant exports to [[Levantia]] as well. | ||
