The Captaincy is noteworthy from a historiographical standpoint as it is the first time in which the various peoples and regions of Copake were documented. A group of four surveyors from Varshan traveled throughout modern Copake and the modern [[International Nature Preserve]] from [[1652]] to [[1659]], meticulously documenting nomadic groups they came across, villages, languages, local religious practice, and the viability of various groups to be procured (by traditional deportation or by trading goods) for slavery. These documents, now collectively known as the "Great Survey", have proven an invaluable tool both to Occidental scholars as well as those in Copake attempting to define a shared and antique national identity. | The Captaincy is noteworthy from a historiographical standpoint as it is the first time in which the various peoples and regions of Copake were documented.

The Polar Captaincy, with Varshan, entered a period of decline in the 1950s, leading to increased violence between the settled and nomadic peoples and between the nomads themselves. In the 1960s, [[Quetzenkel]] conquered the Brudxaan Province, severing Varshan's access to the Nysdra Sea. Varshani forces and citizens were ordered suddenly to withdraw on the evening of 17 March [[1964]] following an agreement between Varshan, [[Daxia]], and [[Quetzenkel]] to allow them safe passage. In the wake of the withdraw, public order broke down across Venua'tino. The Varshani-appointed ethnically Copaish Ethnarch of Tekuma attempted to usurp the title of Polar Captain and unite all of Venua'tino as a sovereign entity using the same administrative apparatus of the Captaincy, but without Varshani military force he was unable to consolidate power. The Tekuman Polar Captaincy collapsed by November forcing the self-proclaimed Polar Captain to flee. In [[1965]] and [[1966]], a clear lack of governing authority inaugurated a period of significant economic uncertainty and political violence as Venua'tino descended into anarchy. | |||
