Ellesborg: Difference between revisions

Despite the actions of its citizens, the Kingdom had historically sought to avoid entanglements in Arcturia, both due to the logistical challenges and out of fears of running afoul of the spheres of influence that had already been established by other powers. However, this time the Cryrian government was led by Prime Minister Ingvar Aberg, who had close financial and familial connections to the EMC, as well as colonial ambitions for his country. Aberg would prove to be a friendly ear for the Cooperative, and would arrange for a small expedition to be sent to secure Ellesborg. In exchange, the EMC agreed to transfer its governing mandate over the territory to the Crown, allowing ArbergAberg to present Ellesborg as a Cryrian possession and thus a matter of national pride. While the Ellesborg Uprising would be quashed, ArbergAberg's death the following year would effectively end any real interest the Cryrian government may have had in Ellesborg. While it nominally retained the mandate, much of the day to day governance would once again revert to the EMC's control.
