The island was established as a slave colony that produced primarily Flax produce, but by the late 18th century became a major exporter of tropical fruits, including olives and mangoes to Morstaybishlia through its ideal tropical climate, on plantations which were under horrific conditions and which led to the death of over twenty thousand slave workers. The islands capital, originally named after its settler Berin Vanbere as Vanberetown, was a major slavers hub from Morstaybishlian ventures into east Gondwana, and was renamed after a type of Bourbon whiskey that was created by V. B. Towning in 1851 to become Bourbonsville, which it was later best known for.
 
Today, Saint Matilda is one of Morstaybishlia's smallest overseas territories. It has representative government through its colonial administration, though several efforts since the 1970s have called for home rule or independence. It has a large population of Andorec descended peoples and a large but minority of Staynish and CalthianKaltariz settlers from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. It is one of the worlds leading producers of olives and the leading producer of flax-based [[Wikipedia:Damask|damasks]], [[Wikipedia:Lace|lace]] and [[Wikipedia:Bed sheet|sheeting]].
