=== 1700s ===
In the 1750s, the Norgsveltian Borean Trade Company made a move to buy out the assets from the other two competing corporations. With the Borean Trading Company suffering budget cuts due to its bloated military spending in keeping its colonies. Thus the move to sell the longer longer profitable colony was quick to accept the offer from the Norgsveltian Company, hoping to cut their losses and refocus efforts on Nystatiszna colony. Later the offer was extended towards the VCC which they quickly accepted to leave the island for the Norgsveltian crown to deal with, having carelessly extracted the majority of its remaining wealth and sold it off more than the land was now worth.
The Norgsveltian crown nationalized the islands and formed a proper colony instead of leaving it to be run by the NBTC. When a local was questioned about the name of the islands, the local misunderstood the question asking what was their profession. Stating they was a Hvaloser, a whale hunter in Nys’tat’en. Later the crown official when he was writing down in his notes, a nearby military officer who lied about knowing the Nys’tat’en language stating it he misheard the name and it’s actually Hvaloaszna. The crown official sent back his reports, stating the islands were quite poor, lacked development and the only value being the people itself, the fish, the whales and the salt. Overall it was an incredibly bad trade deal for islands that wasn’t worth too much.
=== 1800s ===
The Crown Colony of Hvaloaszna went for nearly a century without much interaction from Norgsveldet besides establishing naval bases along the coast. Much to the disagreement from the local Akuanist population, who yearly complained about them by hosting a peace festival right next to each of the military bases. By the 1850s, the colony grew in size, as a newly discovered nickel mineral deposit was discovered on the Western island. Minerals brought wealth and attention from the Norgsveldian officials, wishing to exploit the deposit.
The Western island grew in wealth compared to its sister islands, the central island losing its position as the richest island among the three. The Eastern island completely stagnated economically, with refugees fleeing from the devastation onto the central island. Blowing up its population greatly and driving the economy downwards as there weren't enough jobs to go around.
