Background

Creeperian Civil War

Main article: Creeperian Civil War

Rakeoian post-civil war economic struggles

The end of the Rakeoian Civil War in 1955 saw the parliamentary government collapse, a military dictatorship secure power, and the rise of pseudo-legal paramilitary groups. A program of full independence, to be achieved through near complete isolationism, was instituted by Richard Cornell in 1956. Almost immediately, the Rakeoian economy began to falter. A lack of coal imports plunged millions of people in Rakeo into darkness, stalled industries, and fields previously used for profitable exports went fallow. As a consequence, the remaining industries were pushed by the government to become more productive.

As political turmoil damaged more energy dependent sectors, fishing maintained profitability, and a record number of fishing vessels were deployed. When the agriculture sector rebounded, the price of fish fell considerably. In response, fishers began to search for better waters to fish in.
