Hi Farmandie! Welcome to Ixnay!
Here are some resources for your consideration for your history:
Early colonization (1700-1742)
In 1705 Kiravian Bay Trading Company received an order to establish a permanent colony on the on the northern coast of the Isle of Farmandie. The assigned fleet arrived to the island in late 1707 and got ashore at the mouth of River Vænd. After the Burgoignesc government learned about the Kiravian colony on the island it placed an urgent order to establish a competing colony on the island. A fleet from the Bourgondii Royal Trading Company (BRTC) arrived to the northeastern coast of Isle of Farmandie in summer of 1712 and got ashore on Point_St. Matheus, claiming the territory as a satellite colony of Sud Moll Colony. After few days of scouting the area surrounding the Kiravian_settlement_name and the mouth of River Vænd the commander of the BRTC fleet ordered the settlement to be built on the opposing bank of the river. At first the Kiravian settlers were very suspicious about the sudden appearance of the Burgoignesc on the island and what their intentions might be. The commander of the BRTC fleet Hercule Bahanor demanded to have a meeting with the commander of the Kiravian_settlement_name. He succeeded in persuading the the peaceful nature of Burgoignesc intentions and concluded an agreement of ? with the Kiravian_settlement_name's commander commander_name. For months the relations between the two colonies stayed peaceful and included mostly trading of goods. Language barrier induced disagreements and distrust between the two ethnic groups caused the relations to turn hostile and after certain_escalation_event freguent and deadly skirmishes and ruthless competition of the islands scarce resources between the two colonies were common. Referred as the trade war of Farmandie.
Role of Farmandie in the Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars
Main article: Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars The Trade War of Farmandie spanned from 1713-1724 and was the precurser to its neglect and self goverment period from (1743-1788). The seas around the island were rich in Whaling, and OTHER RESOURCES but the cost and expense to extract, process them, and transport them safely was not worth the price. This was especially true of Kiravia whose nearest colony was Sarolasta through the Polynesian Sea leaving them vulnerable to Burgoignesc commerce raiding before they came into the protection of their own fleets protective range. Alternatively, the Burgoigniacs could hug the coast until they reached Sud Moll Colony and then Equitorial Ostiecia and their respective colonial fleets. Kiravia didn't fully abandon their colony on Farmandie until both nations were forced to focus elsewhere in the 1740s but the Bay Trading Company put less focus on the island than did the BRTC. Both colonies forming naval militias but the BRTC garrisoned 100 troops and a small but permanant naval presence on the island in 1719, a cost the Bay Trading Company did not feel was justified.
