History
Claimed in 1687 AN after the breakup of Krasnocoria, Ijubicastagrad came under the protection of the Raspur Pact during Operation Dyre-Storm 87. Utilised as a beachhead for the evacuation of Raspur Pact nationals and the rescue of assets and personnel associated with ESB Jaris from the island, control of the territory was subsequently transferred to the Military of Alduria-Wechua, with the initial garrison consisting of a squadron from the 623rd Pioneer Regiment, supported by a multi-specialism task force from the Federal Support Corps, a detachment of marines, and the auxiliary cruiser Rocinante. The deployed force is further supported by two locally raised territorial regiments - the Ijubicastagrad Volunteer Rifles Regiment, recruited from the incoming settler community, and the Jaris Native Constabulary drawn from amongst the Black Traveller community and commanded by Antican officers.
In 1688 AN the Honourable Company opened a stock subscription in the International Mandate, through the Apollonian Directorate of the conglomerate, for investors to underwrite the dispatch of sixty ships and thirty thousand settlers to the Ijubicastagrad colony.
Ijubicastagrad was initially governed by a Military Governor, a senior officer of the Military of Alduria-Wechua.
Under the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, the King was authorized to issue Letters of Official Settlement to establish new Alduro-Wechua territory, with said territory established as "unincorporated territory" under the direct rule of the King or to another legally incorporated body "on behalf of the King". In the absence of an organic law (a lawful regional, state, or local constitution or charter) approved by the federal legislature, a territory is classified as unorganized. Selected constitutional provisions apply, depending on legislative acts and judicial rulings according to Alduro-Wechua constitutional practice, local tradition, and law.
In 1691, new Letters of Official Settlement were issued to Atacama Corporation, a corporation existing and registered under the laws of the Imperial State of Constancia, via its Chief Executive and Court of Directors, to govern Ijubicastagrad directly, and its Chief Executive, Matthäus Koeppen, essentially became its first direct civilian Governor.
The surprise election of Bjørn Koeppen, the son of its former Chief Executive, Matthäus Koeppen, established impetus to the Ijubicastagrad project. Open elections were immediately called for a 50-member Consulative Council from among the residents, to serve for 3-year terms and to advise on domestic matters, as well as to propose policy.
