Implantation of Officials and Military Personnel

Aggressors may carry out the mass relocation of their administrative and military apparatus to colonized territories. Stationing regular military garrisons and appointing loyal officials from the metropole allows the colonizer to establish strict physical and bureaucratic oversight, preemptively suppress nascent resistance on the ground, and integrate the region into its own state system, displacing local institutions of self-governance.
