Strategically positioned on the farthest fringes of the Trinterian empire, the military frontier was developed an important defensive lodgement as well as the foremost entrepot in Trinteria's foreign trade. This commercial importance reached its apex during the heydays of the [[Trinterian treasure fleet]] - a series of global sea voyages chartering new trade routes partially financed by the Salted Coast - the returning knowledge and wealth of which propelled [[Salted Coast mercantilism]] to a global scale spanning almost every major continent, and whose complexity and lucrativeness necessitated the Fefsenistic world's first unified trading and customs system. The region in its modern form took shape around the time of the 16th and 17th centuries [[Wars of Trinterian Succession]], whose devastation and sheer length widened the gulf between Ymirodraeth and the Salted Coast. Spurred by the collapse of the Commonwealth during the Second Succession War, the High Government Junta confirmed its secession in 1654 before repelling a [[Lorand's War|Mirhaimian invasion]] immediately afterwards. The nascent country was soon embroiled in political tug-of-war between the [[Salted Coast guilds|urban bourgeois]], their allies in the peasantry, and the [[Salted Coast lairds|hinterland nobility]], leading to the latter's political liquidation in the ensuing [[Great Dysccephaly]]. The 1668 Costalani constitution ensured that the rights of the nobility would be significantly curtailed and codified the {{wp|Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment}}-driven humanist, republican, and centralizing currents which would come to influence Costalan.
