Continental Boom

The Continental Boom was an continent wide economic boom following the first Frumaheivian sailors reaching Ocatainala. Bringing with them, pack animals and mass production agriculture. Launching a gilded age in Hitaianala, which eventually burst and caused a massive powershift to the rising powers of Ocatainala.

Background
The advent of the triangle sail allowed for easier passing of the continental straight. Frumaheif took advantage of the breakthrough establishing new untapped trade routes to nations that were lagging behind in many technical areas. Able to negotiate on much stronger terms than their new partners wealth flowed to Frumaheif. A new and influential merchant elite formed. The merchant elite pushed for more and more dependency on the trade routes they had established. Frumaheif began a circle of wealth, the trades routes produce wealth to make more trade routes. In spite of not receiving fair trade the wealth still trickled into the nations of Ocatainala. Eventually learning to adapt the practices and technologies for themselves.

Nabaefan
The first nation to experience the boom, was ironically the last to receive anything from the trade routes. Nabaefan wasted no time in becoming self-sufficient from the trade cycle. The Nabaefani economy nearly doubled in size in only 5 years. Self sufficiency then spread southward back to the starting point of the trade cycle. Until only some Senic Houses remained trade partners. Without the need for constant expenditure on imported tools, livestock, etc. The entire continent began to experience the same explosive growth Nabaefan did. As Frumaheif collapsed under the weight of dry trade routes. Their former benefactors shot upwards to become the new world leaders.

Nabaefan would change from a barely sustainable backwater nation to the world leader in economics in a mere century. Much of Nabaefan's manpower was devoted to attempting to farm its small amount of arable land. As no pack animals are native to the region. The introduction of the Frumahavian Steer allowed for Nabaefan to farm their land with a fraction of the manpower, and with greater efficiency.

Senic Order
What would become the modern Senic Order was still several independent royal houses. Tanen House, considered one of the lesser houses at the time, sought close ties with Frumaheif. Allowing the house to expand and modernize faster than it's rivals. Along with the Monarch's other decisions made at the time, Tanen House went from being backwater to launching what would be known as the Unification Period
