The Norlandic Colonization of G'chanka was a colonial event that formed the Norlandic State of G'chanka. It was a Norlandic colony in Katkal, centered on the nation of G'chanka. Between 1708 and 1806, it was directly controlled by the imperial government of Norland, and between 1806 and 1848, a special autonomous region of Norland. The area came under Imperial Norlandic rule from 1708 to 1848. It was officially independent in 1852. Before the military rule was enacted, the land was largely owned by the STS in various trade deals and land acquisitions.
