===== 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 Braemar was sailing the vast middle ocean hoping for a sight of land. Duke of Windermere, Gobblin, was exploring southern regions across jungles and marshes hoping to wander into the supposed promised lands.

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 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 ~~evdenvour~~ led by Hitobashuru saw flags erected on all of Pavia's claimed islands.

===== 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, ~~they~~ primarily achieved this by introducing vast amounts of flora & ~~fuana~~ into the cave system, with a family of cows & sheep joining the cave inhabitants on the 5th of June. The peoples of Pavia began carving out inlets in the walls to make homes, with some of the grander dugouts hosting a kitchen, living room and bathrooms, ~~for~~ those that didn't have facilities of their own, a public toilet was established in the cave on the 11th of June.

The Pavian Tribune was the first firm to set up since the settlement of the cave, publishing their first article on June 5th.

This shop was a popular hit and ~~sell~~ out frequently for the period that it was in operation.

===== Early Island Disputes =====

Line 57:

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 mr cheese yet again at the Island that he had just griefed. As Hito & British were in the area, they quickly made their way back to the north island and upon being spotted by wiz, he boated away from the island. Hito and British began a pursuit in their own watercraft, beginning the first coast guard chase in Pavia. Immediately after hearing of the commotion, Gobblin got into his own vessel and joined the chase successfully. Wiz_cheese performed evasive maneuvers and at times, eluded the three pursuers in the vast western ocean. The hunt for them and the pursuit of their vehicle lasted almost 18 minutes before coming to its fatal end. The pursuit was written about in the Pavian Tribune and was one of it's first public articles.<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/june/04/you-will-not-make-pavia-home-coast-guard-stood-up-by-crown-prince/</ref>

If no candidate reaches a majority of ducal votes in the first round, the State Tabulator shall then eliminate the lowest tallied candidates and tabulate second choices. This process repeats until a Duke reaches the majority needed to ascend to the position of Prime Minister.
+The Prime Minister, previously the Crown Prince is elected from amongst the reigning Dukes of Pavia by the entirety of Pavia's nobility. The nobility vote anonymously by messaging the State Tabulator their ranked choices for Prime Minister; their choice must be a reigning Duke to be counted as valid. The State tabulator then counts the votes and should a candidate receive a simple majority then the election is concluded and they are selected as the head of government for Pavia until their death. If no candidate reaches a majority of votes in the first round, the State Tabulator shall then eliminate the lowest tallied candidate and tabulate second choices. This process repeats until a Duke reaches the majority needed to ascend to the position of Prime Minister.
