[quote=@The Captain] I was thinking they'd either be independent or, as you suggested, beholden to Resia by way of dominion status. I'm not entirely certain of which I prefer or the means by which we reached that conclusion, even if I'd already written a few paragraphs regarding some level of armed conflict (obviously not final). I was considering, hypothetically, some amount of outside interference in colonial affairs, such as enemy states' spies goading agitated locals and settlers into this push for autonomy/independence. All in all, I'd prefer a state to play a state that's on good terms with Resia, or at least making inroads towards reconciliation with them post-revolution. A big part of this, I think, is my population. I have 72 million people, of which approximately 10-15 million are Resian descended or 'old world' descended settlers. This is a relatively large amount of people, and I'd wager that agitation towards some degree of self-determination and a formative national (or at least regional) identity would not at all be unlikely.
