The Return of Pakoura

History
Located on Shenewa's coast, the trading city of Pakoura had been promised to the Theykans in exchange for their support of the First Emperor in his wars to unite Shenewa. When this finally occurred in 1813, he duly made way for Theykan merchants and businesses to establish themselves in Pakoura. However, as with other concessions made to outside powers before unification, this gradually came to be seen by the Shenewan ruling classes as a humiliation. Not least among these was the First Emperor's grandson (insert name here). Upon his accession to the throne, he began to pursue a policy of reclaiming territories ceded and breaking concessionary treaties. In some cases this led to war. However, in the case of Pakoura the issue was solved peaceably. The Theykans had no interest in fighting so far from their island home and so rather than fight to keep Pakoura, they preferred to negotiate. The deal eventually reached in 1858 was that the Shenewan Empire would regain control of the wealthy port of Pakoura but in exchange Theykan merchants and vessels would pay no customs when they brought goods into Shenewa.
