History
While many nations that Seylos had diplomatic relations with had turned to colonizing lands in other continents, Seylos itself did not yet own any overseas territories. There were discussion amonst the Royal Council regarding the possibility of aquiring colonies, however most on the council found the concept of conquering foreign lands for their own as morally objectionable. Still however, Seylos could see that its peers on the internation stage were growing their hold across Alharu and Aurelia and discussions were held on how to ensure Seylosian presence in these regions. Interest was peakled however when a Seylosian explorer and businessman, Skylar Woodrow had independently purchased large quantities of land in Esonice and had setup a rice farming collective. At the time, rice had become a high class status symbol and was served at large meals since the crop wasn't grown in Seylos. Due to the lack of any known natural resources in the area, the Seylosian crown entered into negotiation to purchase the land from Esonice, for a total of 250,000 Seylosian pounds, the equivalent of 36 million pounds Seylosian today.
After the purchase, the Crown allowed Skylar Woodrow to continue their farming operations in the area and began to build extensive trading port facilities on the land. The possibility of exclusive new land for Seylosians to settle on drew a large amount of people from the home island, and soon the port became an important location for trade back to Eastern Argis. Despite Esonice closing itself in the 1830s, Seylos managed to maintain a mostly cordial relation with the country which led to many immigrants into the territory.
