With the end of the Ragucin Empire new states began to form in modern-day Juznik territory, the most prominent of these was the Duchy of Višnevas. At its height the Duchy controlled vast amounts of territory in southern and eastern Juznia with it's northernmost point being the town of [[Ariogala]] and it's southernmost point being the town of [[Klinkos]], it also controlled towns such as [[Ukmergė]], [[Kalvarija]] and [[Simnas]] with it's main settlement being [[Višnevas]], the modern-day capital of Juznia. Furthermore many surrounding towns and cities such as [[Karsuva]] became highly dependent on the Duchy. With the growing power of the [[Margraviate of Ezeravira]] between the 16th and early 19th century the Duchy began to lose a grip over it's territory and entered a protracted decline. By the 1810s the Duchy had become a vassal state of Hytekia and in 1860 the Margrave of Hytekia, Johannes III, became the Duke of Višnevas. During the early years the Duchy maintained some independence but with the ascension of [[Johannes II|Johannes IV]] to the throne this came to an end. Hytekia and Višnevas were united as the Kingdom of Hytekojuznia. | |||

Under the [[People's State of Hytekojuznia|People's State]] the population of Juznia rapidly urbanised as traditionally farming groups were moved to new apartment buildings built by the communist government.

As people fled the urban centres in the south of Juznia during the [[Hytekojuznik Civil War|war of independence]] and it's aftermath this rate fell to 67.6% in 1994. Since 1994 the urban population has been growing with 72.6% of the population living in urban areas.
