View source for Reformation of Greater Aontas

The reformation of Greater Aontas put to end the 34 year long period between the first and second administration of greater Aontas. This period between the two unions was largely defined by nationalist separatist movements and fragmenting of the previous states followed by a near unanimous growth of pan-aontism as these conflicts drew to a close.

== Background ==
The first Greater Aontas gradually faded out of existance after the 2115 war of the three grestins. Technically it continued to exist only on it's western territories, but it was largely considered to be a rump state until union with [[Iroa]] caused [[Phoenia]] to form. From then on it existed purely as a territory operating within Phoenia. Around this time new states consisting of the Aontan linguo-ethnic group began to take shape and conflicts erupted. 

By the end of the [[Sahren Civil war]] Pan-aontism movements became far more legitimate as every country making up the larger Aontan ethnicity in theory had stable and compatible political systems.

== 2149 Cath accords == 
=== Negotiations with the Svoboda government ===
Representatives from [[Sahr]] and [[Phoenia]] met at Cath in month 2149 to discuss acts of union. Svoboda was hoping that by setting in motion the act of union he would bring stability and effectively tie the Sahren government to it's Republican roots. Another aim of the meeting was to solve the status of the Egercian speaking lands in Phoenia which Sahrland claimed as their own. Both sides agreed to the condition that they must be allies in foreign policy, but quickly devolved into arguing when solutions to the Egercian problem were presented. The Sahren government did not back down in part because any further strain on the administrative capacity of the country would have possible triggered another conflict, which meant there was not a legitimate reason to offer anything but complete capitulation to Sahren terms. An account by one of the diplomats present at the meeting paints the scenery well.

{{Quote|After the third time of asking for transfer of Egercian speaking provinces, the Sahren diplomat began arguing that it wouldn't matter because the two components would be in one country. The Phoenian then described the new borders as awkward and the process of changing power to be ugly. The Sahren then stopped speaking Tekkian and said "Phoenians must explode when they see their own people if this is how they react to an ugly border!" in the Egercian dialect. The Phoenian then stood up and yelled that they should have just invaded Sahrland in the Strait war. This was then repaid by the Sahren stating they would have stolen all the Tekkian gas as soon as their vehicles crossed the border. It then devolved into a series of objects being thrown and many interventions to prevent an all out brawl, which happened anyways. All things considered, this was the most peaceful meeting since the Cath Accords began.|cite=}}

Despite these disagreements, the Cath accords of 2149 became a basis for further integration. They lifted restrictions on trade and immigration, along with developing a unified foreign policy. 

=== Withdrawal of Bastia and Wuste ===
Initially Wuste and Bastia were included in the accords but quickly pulled out as being included in an increasingly Aontan centric union would have marginalized their interests. This created the peculiar situation where Sahrland-Bastia and Sahrland as political entities remained in the agreement, but the Bastian entity was not included. 
=== Negotiations with the Frakchiya government ===
Karlo frakchiya's presidential campaign promised the reunification of Greater Aontas and was supported by pan-Aontan nationalist groups. Frakchiya compromised on the issue of Ria, reasoning that the more Tekkian character of the city would make it harder for Sahrland to integrate the territory. He and many others in his government were in favour of a government encouraged internal population migration northward. With this compromise reached, the Phoenian administration agreed to the transfer of Rokfor and Baile under the condition that if Sahrland were to leave the provinces would go back to Phoenia. These terms were considered acceptable by both sides and the treaty was ratified on month 2150.
