'''Pavia''' (/ˈpɑː.vɪ.ə/, officially the '''Empire of Pavia''') is
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. The Empire is also deeply enmeshed in the economic systems of the world, serving as the physical home for institutions such as Monument Group (and its subsidiary Monument Bank) and Artificial Industries. Furthermore, Pavia is also home to numerous monumental building projects, including its Town Hall, Windermere Castle, the Cathedral of Pavia, and the many unique builds and build styles of the duchies. The capital City of Pavia is wildly regarded as an exemplar of urban design, incorporating grand monuments, a prosperous mercantile district along Main Street, and is connected to other nations such as Volterra, Griffin, the Imperial Federation, and Icenia through the International Rail Station.
Pavia is a semi-constitutional monarchy with elements of a nobles' democracy. The Imperial Court consists of the the seven (7) reigning dukes and the numerous lesser nobles underneath them and the Pavian Crownlands. The dukes select from amongst themselves one to fill the role of Emperor, while the Imperial Court as a whole elects a Prime Minister from amongst the reigning dukes every 4-10 weeks (barring resignation or assassination). The Emperor serves as ceremonial head-of-state, empowered to appoint an interim Prime Minister in the event of a vacancy in office and serve as a representative of the nation. The Prime Minister is endowed with supreme legislative, executive, judicial, and diplomatic powers by virtue of the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/117kt9Zl2PF5wAaz1LrdlDNKkkWAjrhpB/view Pavia Reform Act 2024.]The Prime Minister may also appoint ministers and secretaries to a variety of bureaus, ministries, and agencies to aid in the administration of the Empire, including Semiography, Housing, and Security among others. Additionally, they administer the Pavian Crownlands in the name of the Emperor, alongside their own ducal territories.
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 Duchies. As of June 27th, 2024 there exist seven (7) Duchies, four (4) Churchlands, and substantial Crownlands that cover all remaining territories, including administration of the Pavian protectorates. Within the Duchies, each Duke is empowered to create minor nobles under their purview and subject to their laws. These minor nobles may also be granted territories within their given Duchy and become landed nobility with their own titles and coats of arms.
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 July 13th, 2024, the throne of the Emperor of Pavia is held by His Imperial Majesty, [[Seekinq]] I, High 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.

===== 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 ⟶ 27:
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
In the afternoon of the 3rd, the Dukes of Pavia unanimously approved Pavia's Initial Claims and post them into the Pavia discord publicly.<ref name=":8">{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=BritishWanderer|sender=Danny|url=https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957406624950157352/982286652233887775|text=3rd of June 2022 [with accompanying claims image]|date=June 3, 2021|access-date=August 10, 2021|channel=cartography-office|server=The Principality of Pavia}}</ref> The Bureau of Semiography posted an updated, illustrated, and more detailed map of the claims on the 4th.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=hitobashuru|sender=hitobashuru|url=https://discord.com/channels/523673816698978313/957406624950157352/982585390995230770|text=4th of June 2022 [with accompanying claims image]|date=June 4, 2021|access-date=August 10, 2021|channel=cartography-office|server=The Principality of Pavia}}</ref>
Later on in the day, the people of [[Griffin]] traversed through Pavian lands and
===== Cave Life =====
Line 34 ⟶ 38:
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 ⟶ 51:
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 ⟶ 60:
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

''Main Article: [[Lyrean Community]]''

''Main Article: [[Elysian Pact]]''
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,
==== First Global Conflict (July - September 2022) ====
Line 188 ⟶ 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 204:
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:
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:
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.
One of the first things Gobblin II did after his election was to decree 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>

===== End of Reign & Death =====
Gobblin 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.
====
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.

=== 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:
* Pavia First, founded by Cissonius, Duke of Braemar. The PF party platform centers on revitalization of the Pavian security apparatus and implementation of new development strategies.
* Annihilating Merry Party (AMP), founded by CedarValiant, Duke of Avalonna. The AMP platform centered on 'annihilating' perceived inaction and disrepair within Pavia, focusing on decaying infrastructure and sharing the concern over the ineffectiveness of the Coast Guard with Pavia First. Later, CedarValiant would release a 'day-one' pledge to codify Pavia's precedent-based ban on bounty-hunting.
* Renew Pavia, founded by ArtificialDriver, Duke of Highgrove. Renew Pavia, or simply Renew, was built on a platform of economic and social reform from the ground up, with the stated aims of delivering economic prosperity while further opening and democratizing Pavian society.
Within hours of the election announcement, two major candidates had arisen, with Renew Pavia backing the Duke of Bedford, BritishWanderer, and a combined AMP-PF coalition lining up behind CedarValiant. Untold hours of electioneering, polling, and interviewing were conducted over the course of two days, with many members of the nobility and citizenry alike declaring openly for their chosen party. During this, the non-partisan Pavia Finance interest group was established by the Duke of Lugano, creepi0n with the purpose of uniting the business community's interests around one banner. Pavia Finance would make a number of press releases arguing for the parties to make promises of zero taxation and continued support for Pavian industries. Initial polling seemed to indicate a plurality of voters and citizens either intended to vote for Renew or believed Renew would achieve victory. However, data also indicated that if the AMP-PF coalition pact held, then AMP could count on victory in the final tally.
As the polls closed, Pavians would wait as State Tabulator hakr_ compiled the totals. On June 8th, 2024, the final results were released to the public. With a total turnout of 68% among eligible voters, in the First Round, AMP would receive 7 votes, Pavia First would take 6, and Renew would receive 4. With no outright majority achieved, the lowest tallied candidate was eliminated and second choices tabulated. In the Second Round, AMP would take 9 votes to Pavia First's 6, leading to CedarValiant becoming the first elected Prime Minister in Pavian history.
===== Premiership of CedarValiant =====
Prime Minister CedarValiant, elected with a clear mandate to pursue revitalization and enhanced security for Pavia, began their tenure with the appointment of Toaxbis as Pavia's first Secretary of State. CedarValiant's premiership would also see the rise of another political party in the United Pavia Party founded by gobblin, Duke of Windermere. The UPP laid out a plan for improving security, immigration controls, and controlling dissent within the Imperial Council. Early on June 10th, 2024, Prime Minister CedarValiant would resign their premiership after just under two days, stating a need to step back and prioritize themselves first. Emperor Paagf I would later appoint Cissonius to head a caretaker government before new elections called for June 15th, 2024. The Annihilating Merry Party would dissolve later that day.
===== Interim Premiership of Cissonius =====
Interim Prime Minister Cissonius would begin their premiership with the appointment of multiple cabinet positions. The First Visucius Cabinet would come to include, in order of appointment:
* GetSkinny, as Minister for Justice
* SirFrenchie, as Minister for Security and Defense
* BritishWanderer, as Minister for Levelling Up (previously Minister for Overseas Territories, Ambassador for Overseas Territories)
* Seekinq, Minister of Rural Affairs
* 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 Visucius 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.
June 22, 2024 would see one of the largest public projects in recent Pavian history come to fruition as the joint efforts of nearly a dozen Pavians completed the Pavian Crop Exchange in 10.5 hours. This exchange is intended to provide a fresh source of income to newfriends and long-time residents alike by holding 27 floating exchanges for materials ranging from gunpowder to melons, all convertible to diamonds. Additionally, the 'Crop Shed' was linked to the existing Pavian ice road network. On June 27, 2024, Prime Minister Cissonius would conduct a major reshuffling of their cabinet, with the group now comprised of the following according to the priorities of the government:
* Gamer_Time69, as Minister for Security and Defence
* BritishWanderer, as Secretary of State for Levelling Up and Industrial Affairs
* Seekinq, as Minister of Rural Affairs & Minister for Semiography
* Nekroz09, as Minister for Housing and Domestic Affairs
* 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.
==Duchies of Pavia==
The Duchies of Pavia represent the land of the highest ranking nobles in Pavia
All Duchies hold their own flag, title, and coat of arms which are designed by the Bureau of Semiography, these titles, COAs and flags last for as long as the current Duke stays in power, with the emblems shifting as the incumbent house changes. Every Duke of a Pavian Duchy is the original ruler since it's creation via the Magna Pavia or the Privy Council, meaning there are currently no secondary inheritors as of
Duchies may be dissolved through a majority plus one vote of the Privy Council,

[[File:PLR-07-03-2023.png|thumb|551x551px|Map of land use within Pavia, current as of 7th March, 2024.]]
Pavia is an elective meritocracy, in which talented, contributive individuals are promoted through a system of titulature, and are endowed with the right to vote and elect from amongst their number those willing to lead. This system is rooted in the Empire's founding document, the ''Magna Pavia'', as well as its amendments in the ''Pavia Restoration Act 2023'' and ''Pavia Reform Act 2024''.<ref name=":2">https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRnU034yiZVgwFFJwg6D0mo72LNKD_nmj39fk9Nsg-9B5Vsuhq4R0EODF8rZktxUTQXzrZCJbgO5rjT/pub<nowiki/>from: https://www.reddit.com/r/CivPavia/comments/unl094/29th_april_the_dukes_of_pavia_have_voted/</ref><ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1th9kR0-YOj_1zDbSo4yMVQQWZAX7dVtc/view</ref><ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/117kt9Zl2PF5wAaz1LrdlDNKkkWAjrhpB/view?usp=sharing</ref>
Under the ''Pavia Reform Act 2024'', all landed nobility within the Empire were granted the right to elect a Prime Minister from among the ranks of the sitting Dukes, who in turn is endowed with the ability to seat ministers and secretaries of state for various bureaus and agencies within the government.
=== Elections in Pavia ===
The serving Prime Minister is elected by a majority of the nobility no sooner than every four weeks (barring resignation or assassination) and no later than every 10 weeks.
'''Election Process'''
Upon the declaration that the role of Prime Minister sits vacant, eligible candidates will have twenty-four (24) hours to publicly announce their candidacy. After this, a campaign period of at least twenty-four (24) hours will begin in which candidates may release platforms and manifestos, and in which members of the public may elicit commitments in exchange for their support.
All elections must occur over the weekend, defined as the period from Friday-Sunday. The premiership will sit vacant until the next election can be held during the weekend. The Emperor may appoint an 'acting Prime Minister' to maintain a caretaker government following the vacancy of the seat, who will then sit until the conclusion of the next election.
All elections are conducted through private, ranked-choice voting. Voters may select multiple candidates ranked according to their preference which will then be counted by the State Tabulator. In the event no candidate receives 51% of the first-choice votes in the first round, the candidate with the lowest vote tally is removed, and those votes are retabulated with their second-choice candidate. This will continue until a candidate acquires the necessary 51% majority.
In the event of a tie between the final pair of candidates, the State Tabulator will present the anonymized vote tally to the Imperial Court and will request that everyone submit new votes until such time as a candidate attains the necessary 51% majority.
'''State Tabulator'''
The State Tabulator is elected unanimously by the Dukes and shall serve indefinitely until their removal or replacement. This role is currently held by Hakr_, a noble of Highgrove.
'''Dice Day'''
The wide breadth in time between electable periods is due to the Pavian National 'Dice Day'.
For the first two Crown Princes, the reign length of the Monarch lasted six weeks before dice days would take place, however this was changed by unanimous vote at the end of BritishWanderer II's tenure via the '''''Crown Prince Reign Length Amendment, II (C.010)'''''. The new reign length is an initial 4 weeks, followed by dice days every Saturday afterwards. Following the declaration of the Empire in June 2023, Crown Prince would be restyled as Archduke. In June 2024, Archduke would be restyled to Prime Minister as an elected role by the full nobility.
{| class="wikitable"
!Dice Day
Line 581 ⟶ 715:
''*** Emperor BritishWanderer I did not engage for dice days during his reign, which would last 62 days in total: 29 as Crown Prince, and 33 as Emperor.''
'''
At any time, the Prime Minister may be assassinated by another sitting Duke of the Empire. A legal assassination will meet the following three (3) criteria:
# The Prime Minister must be killed and pearled by another Duke ''personally''.
# The pearl of the Prime Minister must be immediately placed in the designated Royal Slammer. This is to be a chest in the Cathedral of Pavia, reinforced to a Ducal-exclusive group, and made available to the reigning Dukes.
# The assassinating Duke must, without delay, announce the pearling of the Prime Minister and the location of the Royal Slammer to the public discord, and bring awareness of the event to the other sitting Dukes.
Any assassination which fails to follow any and all of the above criteria is considered illegal and punishable. While pearled, the Prime Minister may not exercise any of their sovereign powers.
Should no Duke free the Prime Minister within twenty-four (24) hours of internment, the Prime Minister is legally removed from office and a new election is called for the nearest following Saturday. After this, the former Prime Minister is released with no delay.

===Institutions of Pavia===
The Institutions of Pavia are the established bodies deemed of vital importance to the health of the
'''Bureau of Semiography'''
The Bureau of Semiography is responsible for designing and maintaining all heraldic symbols, coats of arms, and flags. The Bureau has also taken on the de facto responsibility for the creation and maintenance of maps related to Pavia's land use, alliances, and claims. This Bureau was initially founded under and held by the Seigneur of San Selano Hitobashuru, who was responsible for creating the coats of arms (CoAs) for six (6) duchies and one (1) seigneury.
CoAs are made with continual advice from the noble and are made to reflect their traditions, colours, and their attributes. As of June 27, 2024, the position of Minister for Semiography is currently inhabited by [[Seekinq]], a noble of the Crownlands and High King of [[Griffin]].
'''Bureau of Architecture'''
The Bureau of Architecture is responsible for outlining, innovating upon, and enforcing the build-style of Pavia. They also maintain control over city planning within established urban areas. As of June 27, 2024, the position of Head of Architecture is currently inhabited by Gobblin, Duke of Windermere.
'''Pavian Coast Guard'''
The Pavian Coast Guard was first established in June 2022 by Crown Prince BritishWanderer I. in response to the imminent threat of criminals trying to gain a foothold on Pavian soil. He handed over the Head of Office to Cissonius, Duke of Braemar, endowing the office with extended rights and powers. A month later on July 13th, 2022, BritishWanderer II reinforced the Pavian Coast Guard by passing the Coast Guard Regulation Act. This Act instituted a meritocratic promotion system and training regimen for members of the Coast Guard.
On the 26th of September 2022, the Privy Council of Pavia would amend the Magna Pavia with the '''''[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GuxDM5sKejGgdVwxZQIl7pBU22K1R0QD/view?usp=sharing Coast Guard Institution Amendment],''''' enshrining the Coast Guard as an institution of Pavia. This amendment expanded the responsiblites of the Coast Guard to include that of ownership and management of the Terminus Vault, as well as establishing a funding structure whereby the Coast Guard retains its own funding pool, separate to the state treasury. This military funding pool is funded by the issuance of a military budget by each ascending Crown Prince. As of June 27, 2024, the position of First Lord of the Admiralty is currently inhabited by Cissonius, Duke of Braemar and Prime Minister of Pavia, with SirFrenchie as Deputy Head.

==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 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.
===Recognised Pavian Companies===
'''Monument Group'''
The [[Monument Group]] (MG) is a property management, design, and construction conglomerate headquartered in the City of Pavia. First established to construct and market properties within Pavia, MG has been a leading investor in local development projects throughout the Empire and neighboring regions, while also diversifying its products to include tools, armour, and consumables at its physical storefront on Pavia's Main Street. MG also had the honour of becoming the first publicly-traded and shareholder-run company on CivMC, with all roles on the Executive Board (except CEO) open to election according to shareholder stake in the company.
Established in April 2023 as a subsidiary company of the larger Monument Group, [[Monument Bank]] (MB) is a multinational financial services company headquartered in Pavia. MB quickly became a cornerstone of the Pavian economy managing tens of thousands of diamonds in assets for hundreds of clients by June 2024. Since May 2023, MB has operated autonomously through Bertha the Bank Clerk, a bot run through the Pavia Discord that manages transactions and other services on behalf of MB's bank tellers. Bertha manages all customer assets including diamonds and any held securities.
Artificial Industries (aka Art.Ind, ABee) is a general store that specialises in bee products and bulk stone. Artificial Industries also houses a specialized redstone division with its own storefront. It is run by ArtificialDriver.

=== 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:
* [[Monument Group]]
* Artificial Industries
* Tusk Armory
* Moria Mart
* Nord Co.

Line 2,682 ⟶ 3,347:
Outside of the capital in the duchies, the Dukes of Pavia are still responsible for building within the build style, but the Bureau takes a step back and provides the Duchies with greater power to decide who can and cannot build within their territory. As a result, Duchies may elect to allow anyone to build within their land. This can be seen in the Bedford Commons, where new players may build their own home freely and are simply requested to maintain the style as best they can. While currently not clearly defined in law, the precedent that has been established is that the Bureau will not get involved with a building in Duchy territory so long as it remains 'sufficiently' close to the desired build style. The Bureau may request a Duke to take action in cases where a building is in blatant violation of the build style.

'''The Townhall'''[[File:Pavia Townhall from Main Street.png|thumb|386x386px|The townhall from Main Street. Pictured is the western tower which hosts the Prime Minister's Office and is the main entrance to the townhall. ]]
The townhall in the City of Pavia is likely the most famous structure within the Empire itself. This monumental building was built within the first 18 days of the server, with ground being broken on the structure within 24 hours of the server's launch. This entire structure containing hundreds of thousands of blocks dominated the focus of the Pavian government and citizenry during the early days of the server, with every citizen being involved in the build. During the construction, citizens lived within a cave located just to the west of the City under what is now the Museum of Pavia. The building represents both the centre of the nation's capital and the centre of Pavian life as a whole, with all important government agencies and programs operating within the structure - it is the building that most citizens will visit multiple times per session.
The building is composed of multiple key areas.
* '''The Main Chamber -''' Dominating the centre of the Townhall's structure is a huge domed chamber which represents the heart of the nation itself. It is from this room that all key aspects of government and state are linked. Guests to the nation will walk through the chamber when walking from the station to city, and the chamber is home to sign walls that have existed since the second day of the server holding messages from hundreds of guests to the city.
[[File:The Emperor's Throneroom.png|thumb|388x388px|The Emperor's throne room in the townhall of Pavia]]
* '''The Factory Building -''' This room is accessible to citizen's only. It provides Pavian citizens access to factory access and has room for extra civic facilities to be provided as required. It is accessible from the south side of the Main Chamber, and by an external door on the south face of the townhall. This room was formerly the 'Grand Exchange', a government-owned and operated block service that sold subsidised blocks to citizens. After the closure of this service, a new Grand Exchange was opened in a new Grand Exchange building to the south of the townhall. This is now a publicly accessible shop that sells blocks and is funded by the Pavian Grand Exchange - a business operated jointly by the Pavian Bureau of Architecture and Monument Group.
* '''The Throne Room''' - The throne room is the seat of the Emperor. This represents the centre of the Pavian State and contains a large number of seating that can be utilised when the Emperor invites an audience. It is most well known for it's ornate golden roof.
* '''
* '''
* '''The Newfriend Expo''' - The Newfriend Expo is a detailed interactive walkthrough of the key plugins used by CivMC. This allows new players access to a hands-on introduction to the server that cannot be acquired via. the usual newfriend book that is provided when first joining. It can be accessed directly from the Main Chamber, using the northern door.
* '''The Cartography Office -''' The Cartography Office is primarily used by services ran by the Pavian Government, including the Bureau of Architecture and Bureau of Semiography It is primarily composed of offices centred around two large chambers - one hosting a globe with a sunlight providing light to the office, and a second hosting a large number of flags and books. These offices are mainly accesssed via the southwest staircase from the main chamber.
* '''The Model Room''' - Located in the top floors of the northern half of the structure above the roof of the throne room - this building holds a miniature scale model of the City of Pavia.
* '''The Council Chambers -''' The council chambers hosts the Imperial Council when summoned by the
[[File:The dome of Pavia.png|thumb|392x392px|The dome of the main chamber of the townhall. ]]'''The International Rail Station'''
The international rail station of Pavia is the gateway to the nation for visitors and tourists around the world. It is the second half of the Townhall complex and is connected to the townhall by the Townhall Gardens. This station is generally larger than stations typically found around the map because the Pavian Government has elected to primarily focus on direct connections to nations rather than to embrace connections to RailSwitch /dest networks. The advantage of this system as viewed by the government is an easier to understand rail system and greater reliability of the lines as there is no additional connections or junctions added to existing rails. However, Pavia still maintains a connection to the OneDest rail network for the convenience of citizens in nations that maintain exclusively a OneDest connection.
Line 2,714 ⟶ 3,380:
* '''Platform 2 - Direct rail to [[Estalia|Estalia (0, 0)]] -''' This rail provides a direct connection to Estalia's 0,0 market. However, an additional /dest connection is available to the [[Volterra|Crowned Republic of Volterra]].
* '''Platform 3 W - [[One Day War|OneDest]] connection -''' The western track of platform 3 is a single-tracked connection to the [[OneDest]] network, and can be used to access a multitude of nations around the map.
* '''Platform 3 E - Bedford Commons connection''' - The eastern track of platform 3 is a single-tracked direct connection to the Bedford Commons, a major population centre in the Empire of Pavia.
* '''Platform 4 - Direct rail to [[Griffin]] -''' This rail provides a direction connection to fellow Lyrean Commonwealth state Griffin, it also provides access to the state of SPQR in the far north via a /dest command. This rail goes over the Northern Viaduct, a over thousand block long viaduct that cuts through the entire Empire and continues into nation of [[Griffin]]. /dest SPQR can be used to continue straight through to SPQR without stopping at Griffin.
* '''Platform 5''' - Direct rail to Nassau
Line 2,729 ⟶ 3,398:
* '''Platform H''' - Direct rail to the [[Imperial Federation (CivMC)]] '''Platform I''' - Direct rail to [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)]]
* '''Platform J''' - Open
'''The Cathedral of Pavia'''
The Cathedral of Pavia hosts the spiritual heart of Pavia, while not currently subscribing to any particular religion - the building is primarily used to host weddings of players around the server. In addition, it hosts the box that is used to hold the Prime Minister's pearl if the Dukes of Pavia choose to assassinate the Prime Minister.
This building and the hill that it stands on was built within 11 hours by a number of citizens of Pavia.
