It had been some weeks since the official move had taken place, and it had been a rocky experience. The Sappa did not take kindly to the Harmajaans moving in so unannounced and protested day and night. Bricks had been thrown through nearly every window and there were, at any given time, at least twenty ominous people milling about outside the headquarters.
Extra security was brought, and elements of the Harmajaan military were sent as well. While this did assure safety, it only further frustrated the Sappa, who now saw the transition as an invasion. Nothing had happened yet, but there were rumors of coordinated resistance that had started circulating.
Still, construction in Sappa, the settlement, had begun in earnest. Hospitals, better roads, schools, etc. were all being built, under the watchful eye of the Harmajaan military and other government elements. A highway was being constructed as well, to accomodate auto traffic to Sappa. Previously there had only been a single, seldom-used rail line.
In Harmajaa, advertisements were circulating telling intrepid young Harmajaans that they would be paid handsomely for moving to the "great white north" of Sappa. The intention was that, if enough Harmajaans moved in, they would soon drown out the Sappa who would be able to do little to resist.
The expectation was that many would simply accept the changes and adapt to the new lifestyle. Send their kids to the schools, use the roads, hospitals, etc. Others would simply move into the wilderness to live their nomadic lifestyle as they did before. While Harmajaa was investing in the region, there was still plenty of wide open spaces where civilized life had never existed. By leaving no other options, the Sappa would adapt or leave.
Still, others would likely resist violently. They would be dealt with in time.
