For the other iterations of Lusitania see Lusitania (CivClassic 2.0) or Lusitania (CivRev).
Lusitania (luːsəˈteɪniːə), officially the Kingdom of Lusitania, is a sovereign independent nation in the Southeastern quadrant of CivMC, in the continent of Oriente, bordered to the south by the Medi Sea, the world border to the east, Rozia and The Khaganate to the north and Ila'Kyavul to the west.
Lusitania is world famous for its wine production, being very profficient with the Brewery plugin, its pacifism, and the country being heavily inspired on Portugal.
History
First Settlement
Lusitania was settled on the first day of CivMC, posting its claims on the second[1].
The first house of Lusitania was the yellow townhouse that can be found on the southwest peninsula of the mainland of the nation.
With several islands under Lusitan jurisdiction, two new counties were established, those being the county of Olimpia and the county of Cascais. Both islands are similar in format, having one main island with several smaller surrounding islands in its proximity. Both counties have rail access to one another and to the mainland via a domestic underground rail system.
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 and Greater Duskwood. However, due to Lusitania's portuguese roots, sea food, like Codfish is a very common sight in a fully stocked Lusitan pantry.
Lusitania prides itself in its alcohol production, having produced wine for a long time[2], 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 are proud of their pacifist ways, attempting to solve conflicts through diplomatic means, and in general tend to be hsm and chill to talk to.

Island Territories
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.
Olimpia
The county of Olimpia is an island located West of the mainland, with several smaller surrounding islands under its jurisdiction. The current Lord of Olimpia is PCRato06, having established the county on June 6, 2022. The population of Olimpia is steadily growing, with several Lusitan citizens having decided to settle on the island.
The main island is home to a flower biome, enabling the expansion of Olimpia's logging industry. Olimpia also boasts of a carrot farm ~1.000 blocks in area, which supplies the rest of Lusitania with carrots.
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.

Interim Government and the first elections
On the 21st of May of 2022[3], the former prime minister of Lusitania[4], DarkDevil2135, left the Lusitania discord, prompting King Metriximor to appoint PCRato06, the then Minister of Economy of Lusitania[4] as the interim Prime Minister, tasked with coordinating the initial settlement efforts in CivMC. Rato kept some of the old government and added new ministers to the cabinet, such as ArtificialDriver. Spurred on by PCRato06, on the 1st of July 2022[5], the King Metriximor announced that elections would be held to form a more legitimate government. PCRato06, Melonist, specificlanguage and AKJanklin presented their candidatures[6] and the elections formerly started at 11:58PM of the 7th of July 2022[7].
The elections started with an early lead to specificlanguage however over time they slowly turned around and PCRato06 got the lead and has kept it until as of the last few hours of the election.
PCRato06 has stated that he intends to restructure the constitution of Lusitania and has focused on Economy, Defense, Foreign Policy, The State, Culture and Infrastructure as his main electoral points.[6]
