The Far East Colony was established by the [[Ularien Trading Company]] in 1638 to put pressure on the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]]. The original colonial effort was a series of military outposts in the lands of the various factions along the border of the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]] from where they made incursions. The Iles Evangeline were part of the colony's 'Outer colonies', the furthest populated islands from the mainland. They were sparsely populated for most of the duration of the Far East Colony, Burgoignesc settlers mainly dedicating to fishing, small scale farming or trading with the natives goods brought from elsewhere in the metropole. Rule of minor Oyashimane samurai was progressively replaced by Burgoignesc minor barons setting up shop on advantageous geographic features such as hills or the mouths of rivers. The displaced samurai often turned to brigandage as a way to survive and to exact vengeance on the outsiders for displacing them, forcing the Burgoignesc to repel them and protect the natives with which they traded. In this manner the colonists slowly gained in acceptance and cemented their own positions of authority in the Outer colonies. | The Far East Colony was established by the [[Ularien Trading Company]] in 1638 to put pressure on the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]].

In 1817, facing financial difficulties at home and a series of peasant rebellions that decimated the profitability of the spice trade in the colonies, the Duchy of Marialanus sold the Far East Colony back to [[Oyashima]]. Most of the local Burgoignesc barons chose to cut their losses and relocate to other colonies or back to the metropole. | In 1817, facing financial difficulties at home and a series of peasant rebellions that decimated the profitability of the spice trade in the colonies, the Duchy of Marialanus sold the Far East Colony back to [[Oyashima]]. Most of the local Burgoignesc barons chose to cut their losses and relocate to other colonies or back to the metropole. There was some residual Burgoignesc influence left in the form of children of mixed marriages, several Burgoignesc placenames, foods and sailing techniques; all of which would be found to have survived albeit slightly changed when the islands where handed by [[Daxia]] back to [[Burgundie]] several centuries later. | ||
