After decades of military rule, the strict control of the Naval government was relaxed, and by the 14th century, mainland Liberta was increasingly internationalized. A greater public knowledge and increased curiosity in the foreign, brought attention back to the isolated protectorates. This eventually spread to Ila, when the government of Liberta proclaimed and subsequently ordered that settlement of the island was to be initiated. Men and women, most of them impoverished, joined the journey on the hundreds of boats heading for the island. A few struck it well, many struck it fine, but most struck little to no luck at all, and ended up as either {{W|Domestic worker|domestic workers}} or {{W|Sharecropper|sharecroppers}} on the new estates of the island. Mass anger ensued, as many had been promised a better life, when most returned to similar arrangements as back home. Still, even those who were {{W|Farmhand|farmhands}}, the least prestigious occupation, lived under significantly better circumstances than those with equivalent jobs in mainland Liberta. All farms were still required to export all food that was not consumed to the Libertan mainland. | After decades of military rule, the strict control of the Naval government was relaxed, and by the 14th century, mainland Liberta was increasingly internationalized.
