Settlements
Malina
The capital of Mercutio, Malina stands strong as a link between the natural and modern world. With its majestic roots sprouting life in this sprawling city, it has become a mass destination for trade, transit, and tourism. Malina is home to Mercutio's Council, as well as every single Mercutie (citizen) due to Mercutio's free housing law.
Tomo
A farm settlement in the savannas of Mercutio with an architecture unique to it, Tomo is immediately recognizable by its two enormous, man-made lakes and Tomo Tower, erected on June 9th, 2023.
Monkey Island
Monkey Island was annexed by Mercutio in January 2023, and is administered in honor of the late Monkey King, who vanished without a trace. It serves as a farming zone for Mercutio, and is home to the nation's cocoa greenhouse. Monkey Island is accessible via pedestrian bridge or via the domestic overland rail.
East Islands
As of April 21, 2023, Mercutio has gained control (thanks to a treaty with Icenia) of the Eastern most islands found on the Mercutio Claims map. These islands have thus been named the 'East Islands' and stand to assist in further controlling Mercutio's access to the Karydian Sea.
Friar Island
The southernmost island of Mercutio, serving as a short pit stop on travels.
Nightshade
Founded on June 3rd 2023, Nightshade began settlement following the annexation of a portion of Thrall territory. This town is currently under development.
Verona
Verona is a burgeoning settlement located on the island north of the river Tybalt, with high peaks and deep dark oak forestation. It is accessible via boat.
Foreign Affairs
Alliances & Treaties
Treaty of Marettimo
Amid concerns of a potential Thrall attack and the discovery of secret tunnels beneath Mercutio territory stemming from Verminblight, Mercutio sought to solidify its defense via diplomacy and found common ground with the recently sovereign South Bruma, later reformed as the Realm of Aeros. On April 11, 2023, formally signed the Treaty of Marettimo, solidifying a formal defensive alliance between Mercutio and Aeros.
International Sports
Mercutio was an avid participant in the Nara-Danzilona Olympics, taking part in many of the events both as individual athletes and as a team. The nation famously made its hockey debut against the host country of Nara, with an incredibly intense and hard fought game ending in a score of 15-0. By the end of the event, Mercutio successfully achieved its goal of making it to the medal table, with SonicFrost taking home a gold in the Chess event.
