Line 104:
In part due to military pressure from the Okunbana and Mikubana in the north, and partly due to other factors such as [[Tavaris|Tavari]] military resistance, economic weakness, and a plague in the 14th century that affected only felines, Ni-Rao would rapidly decline by 1450 AD to only include its core holdings of territory, its smallest size in more than five centuries. With a void in the region now unfilled by Ni-Rao, Okunbana and Mikunbana found themselves faced with the Tavari, across the strait, in a competition to be the leading power. Economic rivalry would lead to armed conflict at the turn of the 16th century, and the two powers [[History of Tavari-Banian Relations|would have several conflicts]] over the next few centuries.
The decisive victory of the Tavari in the Fourth War would largely cement Tavaris as the dominant power in Northwest Gondwana. Bana began to look outward, seeking trade relationships with outside powers in particular. It established a relationship with [[Asendavia]], the leading colonial power in the region, and also established trading relationships with Raonite, [[Reijia|Reijian]], and later, [[Salovia|Salovian]] merchants. Due in part to the country's smaller size and its higher concentration of people in urban areas, Bana was able to modernize industry and infrastructure more quickly than Tavaris and had a much more industrialized economy at the turn of the 18th century.
