Edo acquisitions are placed under a temporary occupation zone that lasts 1 year (6 IRL days) and in that time the Edo Empire will focus on rebuilding and redeveloping their occupation zone; the Caribbean will also assist in the restoration of destroyed infrastructure using the laser-grid technology, which is specialised in this task. In 1 year, a referendum will be held in these territories to see if they want to remain under Edo rule or become independent.
