Pavia: Difference between revisions

====Border Security / Island Disputes====

Although not originally surveyed in the 'initial claims map of Pavia', the people of Pavia would soon discover two islands directly to the west, just 150m from the shoreline. The Crown Prince immediately led an expedition to these isles of himself and hitobashuru of the Semiography Bureau, hoping to claim them before another party did so. This was seen as a matter of importance as the isles sat in direct line of sight to the town hall and eventual city, and any construction there could impact the view and nature of the western coastline. Signs claiming the land would be erected across both islands however their fears would be realised upon the discovery of a small hovel in a cave on the larger isle.

Later on in the day, on the 3rd of June, the western island's inhabitant contacted the Pavians in local chat to inquire about the signs that had been placed around the shore. SeniorGryphon would request an audience with the Crown Prince to discuss the situation and the status of his island & Pavia. Discussions between the two were friendly and would broach a myriad of topics. SeniorGryphon would reveal that he was unaware of the Pavian landmass, having only mapped up to his island before settling down. Whilst initially SeniorGryphon expressed mild interest in joining Pavia as a constituent country, it would eventually be agreed that Gryphon was welcome to remain independent on his islands so long as the land was not granted to any foreign power in the future.

On the 6th of June, SeniorGryphon would communicate 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 the first would lead another expedition to these islands, to plant three flags and more signage to reinforce Pavia's claim to the islands. Upon their arrival, they would find numerous signs stating that the island is haunted, 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. As these islands were numerous and spread out over a large area, patrolling and effectively snitching would be a challenge and the chain would become a security issue almost immediately after their claiming.

On the 5th of June, snitch pings would alert the government of Pavia to an individual known as 'wiz_cheese' arriving on one of the northern Lucassio Islands, these pings would continue for upwards of an hour before the first contact would be initiated. The Duke of Windermere, Gobblin, would reach out to wiz_cheese and enquire about their business, wiz responded that they were settling down on the islands and just constructing their home, Gobblin wishing to avoid any issues offered wiz_cheese to relocate into Pavia and join as a citizen where he could live with others. wiz_cheese reportedly refused this and the snitch pings continued, it was there that the Crown Prince would decide to gather up Gobblin & Hitobashuru to lead an operation to investigate what wiz was up to. Upon their arrival they found wiz_cheese breaking the Pavia flag that was flying on the northern island, and noticed that the shoreline & tops of the islands had been partially destroyed and terraformed away. Horrified at the sight, the Crown Prince asked wiz_cheese to vacate the islands, which wiz_cheese agreed to, recognising that he was outnumbered and left the general area.

Gobblin would return back to the mainland whilst BritishWanderer and Hitobashuru would attempt to repair the damage, and rebuild the flag. Hitobashuru also brought with them snitches that would be used to reinforce the security of the Lucassio islands to further prevent any troubles from occurring again.

Merely 30 minutes later, snitches would spot 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 would be a sign of things to come as eventually the Lucassio Island snitches would light up with sightings of mr cheese yet again at the Island that he had griefed, as Hito & British were in the area, they quickly made their way to the island, upon being spotted by wiz he would boat away from the island, however, Hito and British would begin a pursuit in their own watercraft, beginning the first coast guard chase in Pavia. Immediately after hearing of the commotion, Gobblin would get into his own vessel and join the chase successfully. Wiz_cheese would perform evasive maneuvers and at times, elude the three pursuers in the vast western ocean. The hunt for wiz_cheese and the pursuit of his vehicle would last almost 18 minutes before coming to its fatal end. The pursuit would be written about in the Pavian Tribune and would be one of it's first public articles.

This sole event would lead the Crown Prince BritishWanderer I to enact the decree establishing the Pavian Coast Guard under the purview of the Duke of Braemar, Cissonius.
