'''Lusitania''' (luːsəˈteɪniːə), officially the '''Kingdom of Lusitania''', is a sovereign independent nation in the Southeastern quadrant of [[CivMC]], in the continent of [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Eastern Continent|Oriente]], bordered to the south by the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Medi Sea|Medi Sea]],

Line 37 ⟶ 35:
===First Settlement===
Lusitania was settled on the first day of CivMC, posting its claims on the [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v45ke3/kingdom_of_lusitania/ second]<ref>https://reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v45ke3/kingdom_of_lusitania/: Claims post of Lusitania : Consulted on 13 July 2022</ref>.
The first house of Lusitania was the yellow townhouse that can be found on the southwest peninsula of the mainland of the nation.
Line 44 ⟶ 42:
== Culture ==
Due to the location and climate, ''Bread and Wine'' is the staple meal eaten in Lusitania, being freely given to any visitors and supplied to its neighbors of [[Rozia]], [[Khaganate]] and [[Greater Duskwood]]. However, due to Lusitania's [[W:Portugal|portuguese]] roots, sea food, like ''Codfish'' is a very common sight in a fully stocked Lusitan pantry.
Lusitania prides itself in its [[Brewery|alcohol production]], having produced wine for a long time<ref>{{Cdisc|sender-link=Metriximor|sender=Metriximor|date=7 March 2018|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/422250595911729155/463776398730067972|text=The first bottle of Lusitan Wine|channel=general|server=Lusitania|access-date=11 July 2022}}</ref>, producing and exporting the world famous [[Lusitan Wine]] among a miriad of other alcoholic drinks. The sight of people enjoying a sip of wine is very common in Lusitania.
The Lusitans
== Subdivisions ==
Lusitania operates under a political structure that divides the nation into counties, each of which is governed by a Lord. These counties enjoy a significant degree of autonomy, except in matters concerning foreign diplomacy and the presence of central government infrastructure within their loosely defined borders.
The nation of Lusitania can be broadly categorized into three distinct regions: the mainland, the exclaves, and the islands.
Overall, Lusitania's political structure grants counties a degree of self-governance, while the nation's geographic divisions encompass diverse landscapes and climates that play a crucial role in the country's agricultural and natural resource strategies.
=== Mainland ===
The mainland encompasses a considerable landmass characterized by a blend of flat and hilly terrain, with numerous rivers traversing its expanse. The climate in the mainland is generally warm, although the land itself is not particularly fertile.
===== Portucale =====
==== Provence ====
The county of Provence is a mountainous region of the mainland of Portucale, that is split in half by the Limena river (see:Geography). The founding lord of Provence was [[RektTangle]], who was declared Lord of Provence on the 14th July 2022<ref>{{Cdisc|sender-link=Metriximor|sender=Metriximor|date=14 July 2022|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/452975786727702538/997248928246403122|text=Heya everyone, just wanna announce that @Rekt will be the Lord of the newest Lusitan county of Provence, a mountainous rural monastery southern france-ish themed county where you can chill and brew (and drink) some wine.
Rekt's own description of it:
Sleepy railside town with monastery and fishing boats down stairs next to a big rail viaduct
Countryside hill sheep farming and cheese and wine making aesthetic
Sandstone and terracotta and cottages and cobble town squares
Thank you and have a nice day 🍷 :ptblob:

PS: annexed is the rough borders of the county|channel=announcements|server=Lusitania|access-date=18 July 2022}}</ref>. The theme of the county is to have a ''"Sleepy railside town with monastery and fishing boats down stairs next to a big rail viaduct, Countryside hill sheep farming and cheese and wine making aesthetic. Sandstone and terracotta and cottages and cobble town squares"'', with a heavy focus on being a rural place, for would be tourists that wish to relax.
=== Island Territories ===
Lusitania's territory also includes three archipelagos: the Açores, Olimpia, and Cascais arquipelagos. These islands exhibit a fertile, humid, and temperate climate, making them ideal regions for the cultivation of Lusitania's entire supply of timber.
Due to the close proximity of both islands to the world border, both Olimpia and Cacais have parts of their island inaccessible. Additionally, part of the islands are also not reinforcable, thereby losing some value in terms of construction.
Line 66 ⟶ 86:
==== Cascais ====
The county of Cascais is an mountainous island South of the Mainland and Southwest of Olimpia. Cascais also holds within its jurisdiction several surrounding islands, topographically similar to the main island. The current Lord of Cascais is [[ArtificialDriver]], having founded the county on June 6, 2022. The geography of Cascais is very mountainous, with over 30 blocks of amplitude between sea level and the island's highest point. The surrounding islands are largely comprised of granite, adding a red tint to the surrounding area.
==== Açores ====
=== Exclaves ===
The exclaves, are located in warm and humid environments, primarily consisting of dense jungles. These areas serve as vital locations for cultivating and harvesting the more exotic crops necessary for Lusitania.
==== Selva ====
Line 79 ⟶ 102:
=== Rivers ===
==== Douro River ====
===== Limena River =====
The Limena river, named by [[RektTangle]], separates the temperate climates of Lusitania from the harsher hotter climates of the east. Its name comes from a combination of the real [[W:Lima River|Lima River]] and the latin word for "threshold", ''Limen.'' The mouth of the Limena River ends in [[Lusitania#Provence|Provence]].
=== Interesting geographical features ===
==== Coroa de Picos ====
==== Atlas Mountain ====
== Politics and Government ==
Originally founded as a [[Lusitania (CivClassic 2.0)|constitutional monarchy]] by [[Metriximor]] and [[savalaia]], the kingdom has adapted to respond to situations presented to it by Civ, over the years. With the main theme of said changes being more direct democracy to the people and more control of foreign affairs by the monarch.
''Citizens'' are able to propose laws in the ''House of Commons'', where they get voted by all the citizenry. Traditionally these votes are proposed by the incumbent government, but anyone can propose them. If the vote reaches a simple majority, it will either be approved into law by the monarch or vetoed.
''Prime Ministers'' are elected by the citizenry after a brief candidacy period and then appointed by the monarch. They then go on to name people as Ministers of a specific topic to aid them in governing the nation.
