This period of uncontested rule of the island by the Dominion of Vorpest would be short lived, however, as 1909 saw the brewing of internal conflicts within the Ducal Federation surrounding the election of a successor to Emperor Alfred II. Though the colonial territories had no say on who would take the mantle of Emperor, debates over succession would coincide with disagreements amongst the states comprising Vistaraland over the nation's continued involvement in the Great War. The [[War of Imperial Succession]], as it came to be known, threw the colonial administrations into disarray over who held the legitimate claim to the [[See of Supremacy]] and, therefore, what allegiance they had in the overarching conflict.
The people of Blokkarim, which had only recently joined the Empire and resided in waters which would be difficult to maintain supremacy over for the Imperial Powers, would side with the majority of the other colonial administrations in expressing support for the claim of Tyrene van Molebaai. This would cause a number of difficulties for the island's military administration, whose orders from mainland Vistaraland were from the High Command in Vierbak, which remained loyal to the House of Sereena, who had crowned Emperor Stijn I in spite of a lack of consensus in the Ducal Council. After considerable infighting within the territorial administration, it was decided the island would not hold official stance on the legitimate Imperial Government, and would receive orders from Sint Arend until the matter was resolved.

Consistent with the administration set out by the Kartesolt Wartime Governance Act, Blokkarim Island has been self-governing since 1911, through an elected parliamentary government. The system of administration for the island was formalized in 1926 as an incorporated territory within the Dominion of Vorpest, now the [[Vorpest|Grand Dominion of Vorpest]] as part of the [[Vistaraland|Imperial Vistari Confederation]]. Following its cession by Suvania, the island was to coronate the Emperor of the Visatara as it s Baron, though the process would be stalled due to the [[War of Imperial Succession]], leading to Tyrene I being coronated as the island's first Baroness in 1926. This continues to the present, with [[Marium I]] as head of state for the territory, with the appointment of a government for the island done officially on her behalf. ▼

▲}}Consistent with the administration set out by the Kartesolt Wartime Governance Act, Blokkarim Island has been self-governing since 1911, through an elected parliamentary government. The system of administration for the island was formalized in 1926 as an incorporated territory within the Dominion of Vorpest, now the [[Vorpest|Grand Dominion of Vorpest]] as part of the [[Vistaraland|Imperial Vistari Confederation]]. Following its cession by Suvania, the island was to coronate the Emperor of the Visatara as it s Baron, though the process would be stalled due to the [[War of Imperial Succession]], leading to Tyrene I being coronated as the island's first Baroness in 1926. This continues to the present, with [[Marium I]] as head of state for the territory, with the appointment of a government for the island done officially on her behalf.
In exchange for this large degree of autonomy over internal affairs, the people of Blokkarim Island are not officially represented in the [[Imperial Parliamentary Council]], though they may participate in elections to the [[Vorpestian Unified Assembly]], as with Vistari citizens on Ny'Tewien Island. The Vorpestian Government appoints a Commissioner to serve as an intermediary between the administrations of the island, Vorpest and Vistaraland as a whole. This Commissioner, alongside the Commissioner for Terwenia, head the Dependency Office of Vorpest, which is responsible for ensuring the continued security and democratic process on the two islands. This includes the composition and enactment of [[w:Election law|electoral law]] on the island, which was used to repeal the disenfranchisement of the Suvan population in 1931.
