In 1744, the Alkari government convinced King Giogioré of Zullabora to sign the Treaty of Zullabora, written by Alkari officials to arrange for ZullaborZullabora to come under Alkari control through a tributary relationship in which the King of ZullaborZullabora would "owe fealty to the Alkari monarch" and require that he pay annual tribute in "gold, gemstones, or other treasures." In return, Alksearia would agree to defend ZullaborZullabora and aid them against their enemies. The Treaty of ZullaborZullabora formed the constitutional basis for Alkari-Viquellan relations, but in recent years scholars have started to scrutinize its lawfulness; some argue that it was not made clear by Alkari officials to King Giogioré of what, exactly, he was signing, and that the King of ZullaborZullabora was under the impression he was only paying the Alkari as mercenaries and not signing over sovereignty of his city-state. Nevertheless, Giogioré died only three weeks after the treaty was signed, of circumstances that were considered suspicious even at the time—it was and still is widely believed, though not confirmed, that the Alkari had him poisoned. ZullaborZullabora would instead be governed by an Alkari Viceroy with the title of "Prince-King of Zullabora."
