Treaty of 232

The Treaty of 232 is the formative document that allows the Republic of Novac to exist. The treaty transfers the unorganized and undeveloped strip of land between the then Kingdom of Kordowyn and the Kingdoms of Garman and Naomh Dubhí.
The Varisian Republican Movement, lead by Peter Rioux, had begun trying to negotiate the purchase or lease of land for a new nation from the Kordynian Government under King Owain V, proceeding slowly. With the death of King Owain and the ascension of Arthwr III, the VRM had to start over. Eventually, donations from wealthy members of the VRM helped persuade Kordowyn to part with the tract, which they had been hesitant to settle due to the somewhat hostile Kingdom of Naomh Dubhí and various tribes of bandits and hill folk. Novac promised to remain a subject of Kordowyn and to develop the land "properly".
