Changes

Fifty years after the Archipelago capitulated as a Mlorbik colony, the Mlorbik Empire collapsed in 1703. News of this reached the government-in-exile in 1704, and an army was raised under Pope Enzo I. Although this was great news for the nation, the influence of education and propaganda was limited. The generation born during the time in exile were split in three, all Serrian, but in different corners of the world. To them, this was their opportunity to unite once more. Settling preparations centers were already prepared in case of this occasion, and by 1720, the settling and recapturing forces were sent. Demoralized and needed elsewhere, the Mlorbik forces pulled back into the continent of Mlobra, the islands of Vellina and New Serria were taken within the first two weeks. Ships containing troops and civilians landed on the main island near the southern sections of the city of Serria, Dan Stagnilo, and the city of Francesco was taken, with assistance from the resistance in loyal revolutionaries under occupation, in under a month. Despite the first ships landing in January of 1721, by May 6th, 1721 CE, the entire archipelago was recaptured. The House of the Grand Master, for the first time in 119 years, flew a Serrian banner. Grand Master Enzo I declared a decade of rejoice, which saw a resurgence of cultural output, artwork, and industrialization known as the Reunification boom.

Roads were rebuilt, schools were integrated using similar methods from the foreign territories, and the ancient aqueducts were refurbished to be used in modern society. By 1746, the archipelago was in better economic shape than it was before the occupation, and with a thriving global colonial empire. Monuments were constructed, some which are still standing, to honor those who failed to defend the island, and those who succeeded in retaking it.
