Kiravian exploration of the Mid-Atrassic region probably began in the 1570s AD, and there is cartographic evidence therefor from the 1580s. From bases on the island of [[Atrassica]], Kiravian navigators would fan out to chart the shores of [[Alpachnia]], [[Yordest Bay]], and points south. | Kiravian exploration of the Mid-Atrassic region probably began in the 1570s AD, and there is cartographic evidence therefor from the 1580s.

In the Chapatec lands, large-scale Coscivian settlement was attempted on tracts of pericoastal land purchased for such purposes from Chapatec tribes, but was thwarted by high mortality rates due to a poorly-understood waterborne disease known as [[Atrassic diarrhœa flagrans]], which is of unknown {{wp|etiology}} but suspected to be caused by endoparasitic protozoa. | In the Chapatec lands, large-scale Coscivian settlement was attempted on tracts of pericoastal land purchased for such purposes from Chapatec tribes, but was thwarted by high mortality rates due to a poorly-understood waterborne disease known as [[Atrassic diarrhœa flagrans]], which is of unknown {{wp|etiology}} but suspected to be caused by endoparasitic protozoa. Whatever its vector, the disease was evidently not endemic on the offshore island of Atrassica, which supported substantial Coscivian settler populations and would become a permanent appendage of Kiravia in the region. | ||

On [DATE], based on a preponderence of evidence from broad spectrum of intelligence sources, Prime Executive Candrin issued a {{wp|proclamation}} that the Nanzi central state had irretrievably ceased to function, abrogating its sovereignty, and that as the ''de facto'' authority with monopoly over use of force in the eastern half of the former country, Kiravia had established {{wp|paramountcy}} there. Now known as the Paramountcy Proclamation, the missive also granted ''bona fide'' recognition of native chiefs (albeit as {{wp|Popular monarchy|rulers of peoples}}, not territories) within their traditional remit. Kiravian sovereignty would not be formally declared until [DATE] | |||
During the process of formalising the boundaries between Daxia and Kiravia concluded the [[Touxian |Touxian Agreement]] to delineate the boundary between the enlarged [[Xisheng]] and [[Mid-Atrassic Crona]], which would bisect the former capital of Rigo. Given Rigo's large population and its central position with regard to the surviving infrastructural networks of former Nanzitolclatl, it was decided that the city and its environs would be administered as a {{wp|Condominium (international law)|condominium}}, the [[Rigo Joint Security Area]]. | During the process of formalising the boundaries between Daxia and Kiravia concluded the [[Touxian |Touxian Agreement]] to delineate the boundary between the enlarged [[Xisheng]] and [[Mid-Atrassic Crona]], which would bisect the former capital of Rigo.
