===Modern History===
The area of land the Tavari had established control over was relatively small, especially compared to the holdings of the Banian humans to their immediate north, and the Tavari established very early on that they would need to grow in economic strength in order to be able to survive. In contrast to the Acronians whose religion taught careful stewardship of the environment, the Tavari quickly began cutting down the forests not only to sell the wood but also to build ships to trade with other countries, especially the growing [[Asendavia|Asendavian]] presence in the region. Later, trade relationships were established with [[Salovia]] as well. With the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and capitalist economies, Tavaris very quickly established an economy of heavy manufacturing. Additionally, Tavaris established the first financial market in the region, and the Tavari Stock Exchange continues to the present day.
Tavaris launched [[History of Tavari-Acronian Relations|several attempts]] to re-conquer their former territories on Avnatra between 1617 and 1714, none of which were successful. Tavaris also fought against Acronis in the [[Great War]], during which time it seized control of the disputed territory Metrati Anar. Tavaris has never formally ceded claim to either Metrati Anar or the island of Avnatra, which it holds it was forcefully exiled from. Except for a brief period at the end of the 19th century, Tavaris and Acronis have remained bitter enemies and never had formal relations until relations were normalized in 2020 after the Good Harbor Agreement was ratified. Prior to the Good Harbor Agreement, international relations between the two countries were handled between the [[Asilica|Asilican]] embassies in each country.
In the year 2009, Tavaris established a comprehensive defense agreement with [[South Hills Council of Governments|South Hills]] as a response to [[Acronis]] joining the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]]. Under the agreement, South Hills established military bases in Tavaris and gained the right to operate in Tavari airspace and territorial waters. In 2021, after the Good Harbor Agreement merged Bana and New Rania into the Tavari Union, Union Premier Talu Bronai announced a plan to expand the agreement to allow South Hills military bases in the states of Bana and New Rania, as well as a plan to increase trade relations with South Hills. The Tavari Union has also historically maintained good relations with [[Asendavia]], with whom they have regularly interacted with and traded since Asendavia established a colonial presence in the region.
