==Great War==
{{Main|Great War}}
Mikaere III's reign saw the start of the Great War. The war was fought between the Pacific Coalition headed by [[Asendavia]] and the Imperial Powers headed by Great Morstaybishlia and [[Packilvania]]. Wary of the imperialistic appetites of these nations as well as the Oan Isles recent history of war, Mikaere III swiftly declared neutrality in the conflict. Riding on the coattails of the financial and political reforms that were introduced under Mikaere III, the Oan financial sector grew wealthy from loaning money to nations that were involved in the war. Furthermore, the Oan Isles sent artisans to train in foreign nations in the craft of arms manufacturing. The Oan Isles began forgone weapons for nations participating in the conflict leading the formation of the Oan Armaments Company by the Government of the Oan Isles (which eventually became the [[Metatron Corporation]]).
 
==Democratic reforms==
Mikaere III was described as an astute political actor in that he could detect the changing political fortunes of monarchies such as that of the Oan Isles. He stated that he believed that a time was coming in which absolute and semi-absolute monarchy would no longer be a viable way of running increasingly complex modern nations. For this reason, he asked the Council of Elders to draft a report and advise him on the formation of a new constitution. The Council of Elders consisted of prominent people in society on whom the monarch relied for advice.
