The century-long accumulations of the people in the Mountain Front Territory turned entirely into fuel for the flames of war.
At the same time, what were the city-states of Vineta doing?
Answer: The Venetians were watching, while by the way, making a killing.
Large numbers of United Provincials, both commoners and nobles, fled to Vineta to avoid the chaos of war—bringing with them wealth, technology, and manpower.
While Ned Smith and the Duke Butcher bloodily sawed back and forth in the Federated Provinces, the wool textile industry in Vineta flourished.
The United Provincials' saying, "Every time the United Provincials fight a war, Vineta gets rich," refers to this period of history.
In a word, after the Sovereignty Wars ended, the wool textile industry was no longer monopolized by the United Provincials, and the newly born Vineta Republic could now compete with the United Provincials on equal footing.
