Later on, the Huitica Federation offered Aldan migrants the territory as a vassal state. On January 6th of 2022 The Kingdom of Alda was official recognized along with it's new province The Duchy of Aldalor. It was later renamed to The Duchy of Amaterra and on June 16th, an internal border change was issued and included new cities and territories.
