'''Pavia''' (/ˈpɑː.vɪ.ə/, officially the '''Empire of Pavia''') is an independent nation on [[CivMC]] located in the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)|Lyrean Sea]] region of Vinteria. Pavia also holds a number of protectorates over several neighboring nations including [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat]], [[Moloka]], the Deesplate Corporation Isles, and the [[Djani'hweh]] Mehri, extending the Empire's domains into the Middle and Northlandic Oceans. Many of Pavia's founding citizens were previously citizens of [[Gabon]] on [[CivClassic]].
Line 11:
Previously known as the Principality of Pavia, the Empire was declared in June 2023, with additional reforms in August 2023 that instituted split administration between the reigning Emperor and a governing Archduke with the support of the Privy Council. This system was further reformed in June 2024 with the implementation of the Reform Act that changed the role of Archduke to Prime Minister and made that role subject to election by the entire nobility.
 
As of FebruaryJuly 2nd13th, 2024, the throne of the Emperor of Pavia is held by His Imperial Majesty, paagf[[Seekinq]] I, whoHigh King of Griffin. The Emperor also serves as the sovereign of the larger [[Lyrean Commonwealth]]. As of June 15th, 2024 Pavia is led by the Second Visucius Cabinet under Prime Minister Cissonius, Duke of Braemar. The current government has declared a general platform of reviving Pavia's defence sector, reinvigorating its economy, and expanding the Empire's territories and diplomatic reach through new alliances and treaties with neighboring states.
 
==History==
Line 190:
 
On the 15th of October, BritishWanderer III would pass away, having been the longest serving Crown Prince of Pavia up to this point. He was succeeded by Creepi0n I of Lugano who begun their reign on the same day.
 
----
 
==== The First Von Thusis Period (October - December 2022) ====
Line 234 ⟶ 232:
 
===== Domestic Developments Under Gobblin II =====
One of the first things Gobblin II did after his election was to establishdecree the establishment of the Privy Council of Pavia for a purpose of streamlining the dukes’ roles.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957405493435973692/1050374000049655968</ref>
 
A month later, on 8th January 2023, he presented an updated Pavian Land Registry with two newly created Countiescounties, leading to the appointment of Spoonce as Count of Corvo and ArtificialDriver as Count of Stonehaven.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957405493435973692/1061815454487818290</ref> Spoonce was also appointed to the post of Duke of Cintra, becoming the seventh Pavian duke.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957405493435973692/1063029979618746409</ref>
 
===== End of Reign & Death =====
GoblinGobblin II's death occurred on January 14, 2023 at a Pavian construction site in the west of the country, the cause of death being a “fatal fall”. At that time he ruled the country 6 weeks.
 
==== The Era of the Rat King (January - February 2023) ====
After the death of Gobblin II, the “Rat King”, Cissonius, was elected by all 7 votes of the Privy Council. During his reign, the Solberg Estate was established as a new type of Pavian political entity, answering directly to the Crown Prince rather than a specific Duke.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957405493435973692/1070946223823003708</ref> Despite the Purple War that took place later in his era, shortly before it the Pavian national threat level was lowered to Possible - at the time the lowest level since its introduction during the Generic war.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/973224986493997107/1067216661347840060</ref> In February, Cissonius issued his controversial naming decree, changing the formal address of the Duke of Windermere, causing “injustice” among dukes, so his successor Paagf I revoked it the same month.
 
===== The Purple War =====
''Main Article: [[Purple War]]''
 
===== End of Reign & Death =====
On February 18, Cissonius I died, “his body found crushed” at an unsafe structure in Kallos, which had been occupied during the Purple War. Like his predecessor, his reign lasted 6 weeks.
 
==== Election ofThe House Lucatore Period (Feburary - May 2023) ====
During the House Lucatore Period, Pavia underwent substantial bureaucratic and architectural improvements. Paagf I's reforms strengthened governance, while Paagf II further fostered economic growth and cultural development, enhancing Pavia’s prominence as a commercial and financial center. Despite the success of this period, it was also the first to suffer a reduction in the number of Pavian dukes, caused by the removal of Spoonce from the post of Duke of Cintra.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/973224986493997107/1103765832212951061</ref>
 
===== Election of Paagf I =====
With the death of Cissonius I and no designated successor, the Privy Council elected Paagf I for his potential to boost the economy and architecture, and his desire to keep Pavia away from wars.<ref name=":1">https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/973224986493997107/1077332771795640451</ref> His reign began as one of the safest periods for Pavia, with the lowest foreign threat to Pavia up to that time.
 
===== The Bureaucracy of Paagf I =====
Upon his election, Paagf I revealed plans to support the Pavian economy, construction, culture and foreign relations through extensive reforms involving a stronger bureaucracy.<ref name=":1" /> The reforms included the addition of new roles to the Privy Council and the establishment of the Pavian Noble Societies, whose purpose was to oversee the efforts of their respective sectors. There were four Noble Societies at the time of their establishment:<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957405493435973692/1085318854038790255</ref>
 
The Pavian Commission for Foreign Relations (PCFR) - Diplomatic affairs
 
The Princely Society of Arts and Sciences (PSAS) - Architectural and Artistic affairs
 
The Office for Societal Advancement (OSA) - Societal affairs
 
The Chamber of Commerce (CC) - Commercial affairs
 
The bureaucracy of Paagf I was well received and probably contributed to the later election of Paagf II.
 
===== End of Reign & Election of Paagf II =====
After 6 weeks of reign of Paagf I, Paagf II was elected as his successor during the Ninth National Election of Pavia, presumably because of the merits of his “father” to the Pavian state. Paagf I was appreciated for his ability to manage the state and his particular excellence in architectural development and legislation.
 
===== Reinvigoration of the Principality =====
In the spring of 2023, under the rule of Paagf II, the Principality of Pavia experienced a significant revival marked by economic and cultural advancements. The Chamber of Commerce was empowered to enhance commercial activities, leading to the renovation of shops and the founding of new companies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957405493435973692/1099106245455122542</ref> Additionally, the introduction of the Pavian Medal for Outstanding Contribution celebrated citizens' achievements.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957405493435973692/1103817766059921439</ref> Under the leadership of BritishWanderer IV, Pavia saw continued growth in population and international status, cementing its place as a global commercial and financial hub.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/973224986493997107/1104902622244241468</ref>
----
 
==== Controversial Period (May - June 2023) ====
The Controversial Period began with the unfortunate death of Paagf II from “seeing King Charles III in daylight” and lasted until the sweeping government changes at the Anniversary of Pavia. It was marked by the frequent accession of citizens to the nobility, with extensive additions in the March 13th Land Registry update, including the creation of the new County of Upper Lucassio under What777 and even the Duchy of Highgrove, resulting in the appointment of ArtificialDriver as Duke of the newly created Duchy, bringing the number of Pavian Dukes back up to 7.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957405493435973692/1106757805324632074</ref> These internal political changes were part of BritishWanderer IV’s policy of expanding the opportunities for citizens to ascend the Pavian ladder and assume leadership positions. Other developments included the securing of the Pavian borders through the FENCE and FORT Decree and the so-called Operation FENCE, including the wall construction on the Mery border.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/973224986493997107/1107773723039236117</ref>
 
===== Accession of BritishWanderer IV =====
On May 6, the day of Paagf II's death, BritishWanderer IV was elected the next Crown Prince of Pavia by all six members of the Privy Council. His unanimous election was due to his plans to make the government more active in keeping up with the rapidly developing Pavia, as well as the governing experience of House Wanderer.

===== Pavian Transition to a Nobles’ Democracy =====
 
On June 5th, 2024, the Dukes of Pavia unanimously approved the Pavia Reform Act (2024) which was in turn presented to the public by Archduke BritishWanderer VI. This act, among other additions and amendments to the Empire's governing documents, replaced the title of Archduke with that of Prime Minister, and opened the voting franchise to all nobility in the Empire through an anonymous, ranked-choice system. With candidates selected from amongst the reigning Dukes of Pavia, the Prime Minister was granted the ability to appoint secretaries and ministers for a variety of competencies including Infrastructure, the Coast Guard, and Semiography, among others.
=== Aristocratic Democracy ===
 
==== Enfranchisement Period (June 2024 - Present) ====
On June 5th, 2024, the Dukes of Pavia unanimously approved the Pavia Reform Act (2024) which was in turn presented to the public by Archduke BritishWanderer VI. This act, among other additions and amendments to the Empire's governing documents, replaced the title of Archduke with that of Prime Minister, and opened the voting franchise to all nobility in the Empire through an anonymous, ranked-choice system. With candidates selected from amongst the reigning Dukes of Pavia, the Prime Minister was granted the ability to appoint secretaries and ministers for a variety of competencies including Infrastructure, the Coast Guard, and Semiography, among others.
 
===== Transition to a Nobles’ Democracy =====
The first election period from June 5th to June 7th, 2024 saw the establishment of political parties and interest groups for the first time in Pavian history. Three major parties would arise over the two-day campaign period:
 
Line 354 ⟶ 380:
* Owain_X, as Minister for Rail and Transport
* ArtificialDriver, as Chancellor of Pavia
* GetSkinny, as Minister for Justice and Legal Affairs (as of July 9)
* SteelHand7, as Minister for Development and Recordkeeping (as of July 9)
As part of its continued agenda of revitalizing and expanding Pavia’s economy and global position, the cabinet released a pair of acts on July 9, 2024 to enable fresh development. The Commons Oversight and Development (CODA) Act authorized the creation of a Keeper of the Commons position, an appointed noble representative under the Duke of Bedford and the Crown to oversee the Bedford Commons’ development and support the onboarding process of newfriends. SteelHand7, a resident of the Commons and noble of Avalonna, was appointed to serve as the first Keeper.
 
The Commerce Act of 2024 was authored by Pavian Chancellor ArtificialDriver, and superseded all previous commerce acts. Granting further powers to the Chamber of Commerce and creating a Lord of the Chamber of Commerce position, the act has empowered the government to begin foreclosure on inactive Pavian businesses and provide stimulus funds to prospective shopkeepers. Within days, the Chancellor would make public that several businesses have already been foreclosed and efforts are underway to acquire new merchant partners.
 
This period of peaceful growth and reform would be interrupted on July 12, when news arrived that Pavia’s friends in Winterbourne to the north had been raided by a group known colloquially as the “Wet Bandits”, consisting of known raiders Gruht, SOGGYHOBO, and ZibeZabir. The group would be successful in breaking into numerous Winterbourne structures and pearling numerous residents. Evacuations would begin shortly thereafter, with many refugees flocking to Pavia for safety. The situation would grow grim as news of the crisis reached Pavia’s Imperial Household and Emperor paagf I. Upon hearing of the tragic losses suffered by their longtime friends in Winterbourne, the Emperor fell gravely ill, and passed just after noon. The Emperor’s death, the first under Pavia’s new form of government, led the Prime Minister to convene the Privy Council to select a new sovereign for both Pavia and the Lyrean Commonwealth. While Pavia’s government convened, word was released by PrincessBow of Winterbourne that the perpetrators had also committed raids against the realms of Pacem and Baile, with five residents across multiple nations being pearled. Thankfully, the five would be released shortly after when the pearls were found unguarded in a raider’s chest.

==Economy ==
 
The Empire of Pavia possesses a high standard-of-living economy with a diverse array of industries, services, and opportunities. Most economic activity is driven by the thriving Pavian construction and real estate sectors which contribute new and evolving builds both large and small throughout the nation and world as a whole. Simultaneously, the capital City of Pavia is also home to a bustling Main Street, where dozens of physical storefronts offer an assortment of stock and services for discerning customers. It is here that Pavia's other major industries are focused, with strong tool and exp sectors making up many of the Street's most-successful ventures.
Pavia is a high standard-of-living nation with a mixed economy. It is dominated by the construction and real estate sectors, with tools and exp also being of great importance.
 
Pavia is also world-renowned for the volume and variety of exchanges on offer, with floating exchanges for materials ranging from essence and iron to gunpowder and melons. These exchanges allow newfriends and long-time residents alike to buy and sell according to market forces, upholding Pavia's firm beliefs in the value of a free market and free trade as an instrument of growth and development. In addition to these exchanges, Pavia also serves as home to CivMC's growing financial services sector, playing host to international banking and securities-trading institutions with worldwide reach.

=== The Pavian Stock Exchange ===
[[File:PSE Logo.png|thumb|The official logo of the Pavian Stock Exchange, incorporating the arms of the Duke of Bedford.]]
The Pavian Stock Exchange (PSE) is a first-of-its-kind market for publicly-traded securities on CivMC. The PSE has its origins in the initial public offering (IPO) of Monument Group in December 2022, joined by Artificial Industries in October 2023, Moria Mart in March 2024, and Tusk Armory in May 2024. Shares in each company entitle the holder to dividends according to the rates set by the company boards and laid out in their prospectus documents. Additionally, shares impart voting power relative to the holder's percentage stake in the company.
 
Publicly-traded companies are expected to remain in compliance with all regulations and obligations of the market. This is generally defined as having sufficient diamonds on hand to pay their next dividend to shareholders and following all other contractual obligations as stipulated by the PSE. Current companies on the Exchange include the following:
'''Canopy Initiative'''
 
* [[Monument Group]]
The Canopy Initiative is a charity run by RektTangle, which aims to improve the biodiversity of Pavian flora by building a wide variety of custom trees.
