Civcraft2Import:Repatriation policy

= Repatriation (Policy) =

The Repatriation policy (Arabic: العودة إلى الوطن, el-'Aoudeh ila l'watan) was an expansionist foreign policy adopted by the Islamic Sultanate of Istanbul in the month following its independence from Gensokyo.

Repatriation was pursued aggressively by the newly established Istanbulite state against its neighbor to the South, Mt. Augusta. The purpose of repatriation was to take back historical Skepsian lands south of Mount Istanbul that had been lost to Augustan expansion over time due to Istanbulite inactivity and political erosion. Repatriation also served the purpose of creating buffer zones and developmental spaces around the cliff-side for the planned Grand Bazaar.

Dar el-Beida
The Istanbul waterfront neighborhood ofDar el-Beida was originally an unincorporated territory of Augusta named Waterfront Region. About a week after the independence of Istanbul, a surveying team from Augusta arrived on the territory, hoping to develop it. The leader of the surveying team, mindful of Istanbul's proximity, chose to contact both Sultan GTAIVisbest and Mayor ProgrammerDan for permission to build on the site. While ProgrammerDan signed off on the project, GTAIVisbest agreed to sponsor the development of the Waterfront Region if it was developed under political administration of the Sultanate. The builders agreed without notifying Augustan central authority, and Dar el-Beida was erected over the span of a few days, adding a large chunk of territory to the Islamic Sultanate. The acquisition of Dar el-Beida marked the beginning of repatriation by the Istanbulite government. &lt;WRAP left 250px&gt;

Renny Strip
The Renny Strip (named after local Augustan farm-owner RennyB) refers to the small strip of land in front of the southern cliff-side of Mount Istanbul. Following the independence of Istanbul, the Renny Strip was considered an uncontested part of the North Augustan Farm District (previously Istanbul Farms). After the acquisition of Dar el-Beida and the escalation of the repatriation policy by the Istanbulite government, Istanbul contacted the owner, RennyB, of three public farms on the southern valley of Mount Istanbul. Istanbul proposed an offer of 50 diamonds for the transfer of the three farms, and RennyB agreed. In a controversial, illegal move, Istanbul bought what became known as the Renny Strip from Mt. Augusta and proceeded to raze the farms in preparation for development of the planned Grand Bazaar entrance. The government of Istanbul sought further acquisition of territory into Augusta, but the passing of the Autocracy Act and the Augusta Sovereignty Act authorizing military action to protect Augusta's borders put an end to the attempt and the repatriation policy as a whole. &lt;WRAP left 250px&gt;

West Istanbul
West Istanbul, nominally a part of Augusta, then comprised of fields and some abandoned houses, was slowly absorbed into Istanbul. The release of the first Istanbul map showed West Istanbul under Islamic control.

Planned Annexation of Augustan Farms
After the successful purchase of the Renny Strip, Istanbulite plans were drafted to slowly encroach southwards until control had been re-established over all of the North Augustan Farm District, as these had been the farms of Skepsian Istanbul during the peak of the Skepsian Caliphate. Farm-owners were contacted and deals to purchase the land (or seize it, in the case of inactive farm-owners) were drafted. The passing of the Autocracy Act and the Augusta Sovereignty Act shortly after the purchase of the Renny Strip thwarted such efforts, however, and all plans of re-integrating the Istanbul Farms were scrapped shortly thereafter. &lt;WRAP left 250px&gt;
