'''Pavia''' (/ˈpɑː.vɪ.ə/, officially the '''Empire of Pavia''') is a nation on [[CivMC]] located in the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)|Lyrean Sea]] region of Vinteria. Many of Pavia's founding citizens were previously citizens of [[Gabon]] on [[CivClassic]]. A founding member of the [[Lyrean Community]], the [[Lyrean Commonwealth]], the [[Elysian Pact]], and the [[Four Continent Concordant]], and a participant in the [[Generic War]], Pavia has been a key player in major military conflicts and political alliances throughout CivMC's history. Pavia is also known for its large-scale builds, including its town hall.
Pavia is a monarchy, with seven Dukes of Pavia making up the Privy Council underneath the Emperor. The Emperor enjoys a wide breadth of powers domestically and abroad when representing the country on the international stage, with the head of state only being answerable to death whether it be natural or by assassination. Additionally to the Privy Council, all nobility and government members from across Pavia make up the Imperial Court to discuss matters of state, diplomacy, and internal affairs. Pavia was previously known
The Empire's territory is divided into three distinct classes as outlined by the foundational law of the country, the Magna Pavia: Churchland, Crownland, and
As of February 2nd, 2024, the Emperor of Pavia is His Imperial Majesty, paagf I, who also serves as the sovereign of the larger [[Lyrean Commonwealth]].
==History==
Line 17:
===== Founding of the State =====
On the 3rd of June 2022, many Pavians set off into a brave new world to search for their forever home. Their Graces, paagf & Creepi0n both found themselves lost in a river in the - , + quadrant for over an hour, whilst Cissonius of [https://civwiki.org/wiki/Pavia#Duchies_of_Pavia Braemar] was sailing the vast middle ocean hoping for a sight of land. Duke of [https://civwiki.org/wiki/Pavia#Duchies_of_Pavia Windermere], Gobblin, was exploring southern regions across jungles and marshes hoping to wander into the supposed promised lands.
In the late morning hours of the 3rd, BritishWanderer I stumbled across lands now known as Auldmarche and began to explore, calling upon his fellow Dukes to join him in mapping out the surrounding territories. Upon exploring the initial claims, a debate ensued about whether Pavia was settling down too fast before scouting other regions of the map and whether there was a risk of missing out on a more suitable spot. To resolve this quandary, The Dukes of Pavia agreed to set a time, midday, by which if no finer land was found then the people of Pavia would settle on the landmasses found by BritishWanderer I. Midday came by and with plenty more lands prospected, it was concluded that the best lands were those that had already been discovered and charted. The people of Pavia swiftly made their way to the new lands and settlement sprung up inside of an expansive cave complex located on the northern tip of Auldmarche.
Line 23:
The Bureau of Architecture, led by Gobblin immediately began to survey the lands for a suitable Townhall spot, which required swaths of smooth land due to the size of the planned structure. Blueprints were drawn up for the Townhall, designed by the Duke of [[Pavia#Duchies of Pavia|Vetranio]], paagf, to be placed on the western portion of the 'Great Pavia' landmass and as such the people of Pavia ferried resources from the cave complex in Auldmarche to a new cavern closer to the planned cityscape.
As soon as the landmasses were fully explored, the Duke of [https://civwiki.org/wiki/Pavia#Duchies_of_Pavia Lugano] immediately undertook the arduous task of signposting the entire shoreline to mark out the claim to dissuade any foreign settlers & scouts. This was later accompanied by a noteblock snitch network laid by BritishWanderer I. On the 4th of June, an island

Later on in the day, the people of [[Griffin]] traversed through Pavian lands and
===== Cave Life =====
Line 34:
The newly settled cave, on the north western peak of the 'Great Pavia' landmass is an expansive cave, with it's roots extending as far as Auldmarche and as deep as bedrock. There are three entrances, two of which are commonly used and another that is utilised as a skylight for the cave's growing flora. Due to the cave's extensive underground networks, the people of Pavia gained mild riches and collections of build materials with ease, which aided greatly in speeding up the erection of the Town Hall foundations. The cave network continues to be Pavia's primary domestic source of quarried stone and other stone-related materials.
All citizens of Pavia from every social standing agreed to remain to inhabit the cave until the Townhall of Pavia was completed, and construction on the rest of the city could begin. Citizens endeavored to make the cave more homely,
The Pavian Tribune was the first firm to set up since the settlement of the cave, publishing their first article on June 5th. On the 11th of June, the great hole of Pavia came to host its first commercial property, a Topington shop which sold cobble, andesite, and prismarine. This shop was a popular hit and
===== Early Island Disputes =====
'''Quiet Isle'''▼
Although not originally surveyed in the 'initial claims map of Pavia', the people of Pavia soon discovered two islands directly to the west, just 150m from the mainland's shoreline. The then-Crown Prince, BritishWanderer I, immediately led an expedition to these isles, consisting of himself and [[Hitobashuru]] of the Semiography Bureau, hoping to claim the islands before another party did so. This matter was viewed as of importance as the isles themselves sit in direct line of sight to the town hall and planned city of Pavia, and any construction there was sure to impact the view and nature of the western coastline. Signs claiming the land were quickly erected across both islands, however their fears of another claimant were realised upon the discovery of a small hovel in a cave on the larger isle.
Line 47:
On the 6th of June, SeniorGryphon communicated that he was abandoning the island and moving to the - , - quadrant. As a result of this information, the Pavian government at the behest of BritishWanderer led another expedition to these islands, to plant three flags and more signage to reinforce Pavia's claim to the islands. Upon their arrival, they found numerous signs stating that the islands are haunted, these signs coupled with the dilapidated state of the lighthouse and surrounding terrain earned the larger island the moniker of 'Quiet Isle' for its eerie feeling.
The Lucassio Islands are the largest and closest set of islands to the Pavian mainland, with the island chain itself spanning nearly 500 blocks north to south. These islands are numerous and spread out over a large sea-area, making patrolling and effectively snitching a challenge, with the island chain becoming a security issue almost immediately after their claiming.
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
Gobblin returned back to the mainland whilst BritishWanderer and Hitobashuru attempted to repair the damage, and rebuild the flag. Hitobashuru also brought with them snitches that were used to reinforce the security of the Lucassio islands to further prevent any troubles from occurring again.
Merely 30 minutes later, snitches spotted wiz_cheese boating around the western shoreline of the Pavian mainland, assuming that he was looking for a new spot the Pavians ignored these pings. However, these pings were a sign of things to come, as eventually the Lucassio Island snitches lit up with sightings of
This sole event led the Crown Prince BritishWanderer I to enact a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xs_cjVrXsMXHW2Qjg26-XbQsAObpZd8-H0tRE7wA5pw/ decree establishing the Pavian Coast Guard] under the purview of the Duke of Braemar, Cissonius.<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xs_cjVrXsMXHW2Qjg26-XbQsAObpZd8-H0tRE7wA5pw/</ref>
Line 90 ⟶ 89:
The Principality of Pavia was approached by [[Estalia|Estalian]] officials on the 14th of July regarding a defensive pact and economic treaty with themselves, Pavia, [[Jorvik]] and [[SPQR]]. The Privy Council was consulted that evening, with the Dukes advising then Crown Prince, BritishWanderer II to draft a document to be discussed between all parties. The draft was accepted by the Privy Council via unanimous vote, and was then proposed to the other prospective nations of Estalia, Jorvik and SPQR where it was promptly accepted and signed on the 15th of July, formally creating the Elysian Pact. The naming convention for the Pact was short, and a name suggested by Estalia as 'Elysian Pact' was ultimately chosen via general consensus. On the 18th of August, hitobashuru of Pavia would create a flag for the Pact, which was adopted unofficially and displayed on the Elysian Pact wiki page.
==== First Global Conflict (July - September 2022) ====

On the 19th of November, Pavia hosted its first '[[Farley wars|Farley War]]' an series of sportive war games, first done on [[Civcraft 2.0]], named after an ancient player of [[Farley50]]. The Pavian farley war was a success, with over 20 people in attendance the competitors enacted multiple team-based fights in iron armour equipped with stone swords.

Line 213 ⟶ 211:
The introduction of the refugees into the Pavian community arguably marked the beginning of globalisation of the Principality. A majority of the citizens, and the bulk of residents within the City were now either dual citizens or refugees. These citizens bought with them their culture, wealth and activity which boosted Pavia to heights previously unseen, refugee labour was instrumental in a number of construction projects and assistance in excavating defensive infrastructure and was of a general great benefit to Pavia.
Creepion I passed away on December 3rd, with his cause of death being disclosed as "poisoning by an unknown source”. Creepion enjoyed the joint-longest reign of any Crown Prince up to this point with a reign length of 7 weeks. He was remarked as 'The Diligent' for his economic reforms and conservative policies in which he enacted effectively and efficiently, reorganising the entire economy of the principality. House Von Thusis redefined the powers that the Crown Prince maintained over the Pavian economy, and continued to centralise the nation.
Line 219 ⟶ 217:
With the death of Creepion I, and no deemed successor in place, the Privy Council would elect Gobblin II as a stable and trusted candidate to take ahold of the Pavian mantle. The immediate issues of Gobblin's reign was that of the Finite War and its increasing potential of consequences for the Pavian state.

With the situation having been stagnant for a month at this point, and the leader of the Temporal Isles held by an officially non-participatory party in Icenia, and later [[Arsenio Pact]], the war officially concluded on December 11th, 2022 and a ceasefire between Temporal Isles and Arnen was called.
''Main Article: [[Four Hour War]]''
After PhysicsGamer's release in an agreement which did not involve Arnen, dredd_kiji and ErrorL chased PhysicsGamer, attacking and killing him in Pavia. Following diplomatic pressure by Icenia and others, the pearl was released, but a war declaration by Pavia, Imperial Federation, the remainder of the [[Elysian Pact]], Temporal Isles, and Valyria spelled the destruction of Arnen in the [[Four Hour War]]. Kallos annexed Arnen's territories after dredd and Docker were pearled the next day, and dredd_kiji and DockerImage were sentenced to 2 months pearl time and reparations for damages both to PhysicsGamer during the initial killing in Pavia and to other parties involved.

===== Election of BritishWanderer VI =====
=====
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.

Interim Prime Minister Cissonius would begin their premiership with the appointment of multiple cabinet positions. The

* Toaxbis, Secretary of State
* Nekroz09, Minster for Infrastructure
* Walkers, Minister for Fishing (removed after approximately 10 minutes due to backlash towards perceived “fun” appointments)
* Owain_X, Minister for Rail Transport
Within 24 hours of taking office, Interim PM Cissonius would usher in a new age of expansion and Pavian influence on the global stage, declaring with immediate effect the creation of protectorates for the nations of [[Moloka]] and the Deepslate Corporation Isles, concurrent with the ennoblement of representatives for these nations as Crownland nobles. Additionally, the [[Dirt|Sovereign Nation of Dirt]] was placed fully under the jurisdiction of the Pavian Crownland, with haakr I of the Dirtgrove Initiative being elevated to landed nobility. The Interim PM would also state publicly their wish to pursue closer relations with the neighboring nation of [[Djani'hweh|Mehri]] in the hope of welcoming them into the [[Lyrean Commonwealth]] in the near future. Additional commitments were made to further relations with the recently-established [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat]] protectorate.▼
As Pavia’s second election campaign began, the Cissonius Cabinet was rocked by accusations leveled by the UPP of permitting open theft and raiding in the Bedford Commons, as well as accusations of impropriety in business and real estate dealings regarding the Interim PM’s personal holdings and their previous two-year administration of the Pavian Coast Guard. This arose out of an alleged horse theft and raiding party in the Commons just meters away from the serving PM, and subsequently the alleged thief successfully fleeing Pavia while hundreds of diamonds were spent on investigative efforts. These accusations were further supported by the Renew Party, whose spokesman articulated a stance that the administration, having just declared the largest state expansion in Pavian history, had failed to properly secure Pavia’s existing holdings.
The Interim PM’s response was to level dueling accusations that the decline in security within the Commons was in fact a result of the “broken windows” effect, and the responsibility of the reigning Duke of Bedford to resolve. The administration promised to hold the Duchy of Bedford accountable for improving Commons security, and to coordinate revival efforts, with some members of Pavia First even volunteering to conduct additional Coast Guard patrols in the area.
Unsatisfied with the government response, both the UPP and Renew, while firmly disagreeing with each other’s platforms and refusing to openly coordinate, traded barbs with the government. The UPP further alleged that the Interim PM had come into at least one of his residences by illicit means, charging that Cissonius had never properly paid for his Union Hill property, a home in one of Pavia’s most prosperous neighborhoods. This was disputed and the records remain unclear as to which side is correct.
Political dialogue reached a head when the UPP alleged that Cissonius had improperly managed the Duchy of Braemar’s islands, implying that the Duke had leveled protected natural habitats to build military infrastructure, while also stating that the Braemari populace should ‘return to their islands’. The Interim PM immediately demanded an apology to the Duchy and its people from the UPP and its leadership, which was not forthcoming.
While Day 2 of the election campaign would prove to be quiet, it did see the slow release of major party platforms from the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NVX8ysvbf8d9fE-J_L3S5Wu6VUKZWODR/view UPP] and [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fEVmlwlodJJLIgqOnK-Voaha3d9hPkqt/view Renew Pavia] party, joined the next day on June 13th by the release of [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zDZOPFOgNeNgACjrc9rYI4F1Cqyx93Ey/view Pavia First's]. Release of final manifestos unleashed another torrent of dueling accusations of inaction and financial impropriety against all parties. Both Renew Pavia and the UPP charged that the Interim PM had done precious little to alleviate the Coast Guard of its diamond debt while serving as First Lord of the Admiralty, while also arguing that the Pavia First manifesto had not been appropriately costed. The Interim PM responded that all parts of its manifesto had been written in line with the goal of generally uplifting Pavia's economy and therefore its financial stability. Both Renew and UPP leaders stated that they had personally engaged in mining efforts for both iron and diamond ore with the goal of supplying direct aid to Pavia's military budget. Questions over whether this portended a Renew-UPP coalition in the election and subsequent denials of such quickly led to conflict between the two parties over the responsibility for the Bedford Commons housing district between the Duchy of Bedford and the Bureau of Architecture. With the UPP labelling the Commons as 'slums', and proposing the imposition of greatly increased dual-citizenship fees, the Renew Party responded with firm support for the Commons' goal of providing newfriend housing, while charging that the UPP's denigration of foreigners leaves them unfit for a government role.
[[File:Pavia - General Election - Opinion Polling 5.png|thumb|Pavian General Election Polling between 07/06/2024 and 15/06/2024.]]
As campaigning continued, the various parties also continued releasing new campaign promises and made a number of press appearances in their bids to sway voters. Both the Renew and UPP candidates embarked on days-long, publicly-lauded mining ventures with the goal of acquiring fresh resources to support the Coast Guard and putting material towards other planned projects. Renew also began releasing a number of other day-one promises to the public, including the creation of a new, citizenry-elected position with a Mayor of Pavia and the passage of an omnibus infrastructure bill that would set up new security programs, create jobs, and overhaul both Pavian and allied infrastructure. The UPP later released a promise, to some pushback, to formalize the Church of t as the established religion of the Empire. Interim PM Cissonius withheld releasing further promises, instead pointing to their record in office since the resignation of PM CedarValiant. Polling indicated a sharp rise in Pavia First support, pushing over 70% approval of the government, and over 60% stating they were likely to vote Pavia First on the first balloting.
As balloting began on June 15, most trends indicated an overwhelming Pavia First victory was on its way. At the same time, it had become increasingly clear that the Renew Party was preparing candidates to retain or assume ministerial roles in a cabinet coalition government alongside PF. Pavians again waited anxiously as the nobility's votes were submitted and tabulated. Finally, State Tabulator Hakr_ released the final totals taken from 24 votes out of 32 eligible, a 75% turnout rate, up from 68% the week before. In the First Round, Cissonius retained the premiership with a supermajority of 14 votes, with BritishWanderer taking 6 for Renew, and Gobblin taking 4 for the UPP. Interim PM Cissonius now possessed a comprehensive, democratic mandate to continue their Pavia First-Renew coalition government.

===== Second Premiership of Cissonius =====
Now-Prime Minister Cissonius, having been granted the assent of the people and an appointment from the Emperor, set about restructuring their cabinet. The Second Braemar Cabinet maintained the general composition of the First, with several notable changes:
* BritishWanderer, as Secretary of State for Levelling Up and Industrial Affairs (previously Minister for Levelling Up)
* Toaxbis, as Minister of Internal Communications (previously Secretary of State)
* ArtificialDriver, as Chancellor of Pavia
In addition to cabinet restructuring, PM Cissonius' first official act of the term involved the restructuring of the Pavian Coast Guard, beginning with appointment of SirFrenchie as the first Deputy Head of the Coast Guard. This was to be the initial stage in a complete overhaul and reformation of Pavian defense. As the new government took shape, negotiations had formally begun with the Mehri (or Mery) of [[Djani'hweh]] to welcome their people as a protectorate of the Empire. This was finalized on June 19, 2024 with the extension of a protectorate over the Mehri and their lands in the Lyrean Sea region, completing the overland linkage between Pavia proper and the Lambat protectorate to the south.
