In the Black Plain cities annexed from the Brown Kingdom, the situation in these areas was somewhat different from that found in the other parts of this territory. That is, there was a prominent resident population there, with already well-developed economies, and most importantly, this was the only part that had not been affected by the war.
Some of these cities were previously ruled by the Gill, Austin, and Parkinson families. And in these, the actions of these organizations had been happening more naturally.
However, in the other cities, particularly those in the Red Valley region, there was some resistance on the part of the communities to follow Minos' plans with all sincerity.
Of course, they were not foolish enough to stand in the way of the actions of the dictator, who was now their leader. But many made structural changes difficult, refusing to sell land to the new governments, etc.
