Political event
After the kingdom had been ousted it did not take long for the merchants to take control of the politics of Du'hra. They had already planted the seed for decades and by the end, they had control of Du'hra in every way but name.
The first action made by the new trade republic was to make trade more free and allow merchants greater freedom in what to sell and where. Simultaneously they also clamped down on Du'gar in an attempt to limit their influence on Midway Island. They also allowed any merchant to be part of the government as long as they were doing business in Du'hra, with voting rights being roughly equal to their success.
