Avalonia experiences a small wave of travel to various lands, particularly into the South, as the extension of southern nations into Avalonia's sphere has caused some curiosity about these nations. While many go simply as tourists, some become citizens and residents of these nations. This, in turn, causes the amount of mail between Avalonia and the rest of the world to elevate immensely as Avalonians abroad write home to their families about what they encounter, including other Avalonians who moved away during the Great Migration. Travel books regarding Avalonia's various, far flung, neighbors become somewhat popular in Avalonia, adding to the growing fields of writing and printing.
In response to the wave of travel, Grúzia-Nec's border along the north is set up to be more-so 'established'. This is, as well, done with the eastern borders. These actions involve bringing up somewhat hastily-made fortifications to be manned and guarded by a minimal military police-like force. From this, mail being brought in from Avalonia to Grúzia may face difficulty or delay along their route. Though, as for Avalonians who have been able to find an area to live, may write with the mentions of the rather dense, industrious cities along the Lehr or Rhon rivers, or possibly the vandalized or impaired and more slum-like labor areas of the annexed lands which once were Sunyong, which seem to be receiving much less food than they may have before.
The Gendarmerie is founded within the K.g. Army, (kaiserlich-georgien armee) being responsible to act more as a policing or occupational unit. Alongside this, the standard military attire receives a small change. Rather than the same large, rounded hats that had been common for infantry in the earlier times, are now replaced by smaller service ski caps. This, along with newly made pike-grey uniforms, become the new standard for the military, though specialized and cavalry forces receive newer helmets rather than caps.
