'''Pavia''' (/pɑːˈvɪˈə/, officially the '''Principality of Pavia''') is a maritime nation located in the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)|Lyrean Sea]] region of Vinteria, comprised of citizens of the former [[Gabon|Free Republic of Gabon]], as well as others.
The Principality's territory is divided into three distinct classes as outlined by the Magna Pavia these are
The Principality of Pavia is an elective monarchy, with the six Dukes in Pavia making up the Privy Council that convenes to elect the Crown Prince of Pavia through a majority vote. The Crown Prince 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 Royal Court to discuss matters of state, diplomacy, and internal affairs.
As of June 2022, the Crown Prince of Pavia is His Supreme and Serene Highness, BritishWanderer II, elected by the Dukes on the 11th of June.

====Founding====
On the 3rd of June 2022, many Pavians set off
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
Later on in the day, Griffin would traverse through Pavian lands and settle north of the river, and both nations would also be joined by Lambat settling to the east on the 4th of June.
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
The Bureau of Architecture, led by Gobblin would begin to survey the lands for a suitable Townhall spot, requiring swaths of smooth land due to the size of the planned structure. Blueprints would be drawn up for the Townhall to be placed on the western portion of the 'Great Pavia' landmass and as such the people of Pavia would ferry resources from the cave complex in Auldmarche to a new cavern closer to the planned cityscape.
Line 32:
In the afternoon of the 3rd, the Dukes of Pavia would unanimously approve Pavia's Initial Claims and post them into the Pavia discord publicly. The Bureau of Semiography would post an updated and more detailed map of the claims on the 4th.
All citizens of Pavia from every rank agreed to remain
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 erecting the foundations of the
On the 5th of June, the Bureau of Architecture under the leadership of the Duke of Winderemere, Gobblin, and the Duke of Vetranio, paagf, citizens would begin flattening
====Border Security / Island Disputes====
'''Quiet Isle'''
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
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
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,
'''Lucassio Islands'''
Line 51:
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
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
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.

'''Dice Day'''
The wide breadth in time between electable periods is due to the Pavian National 'Dice Day'. After six weeks of rule, the Crown Prince must partake in Dice Day; a randomized dice-based system that will determine when they 'die', and their reign ends. Every Saturday after the 6th week, the crown prince must choose a number off of a 6

If no candidate reaches a majority in the first round, the State Tabulator shall make every Duke aware of the anonymous tally, and then ask for everyone to submit their votes again, this process repeats until a Duke reaches the majority needed to ascend to the position of Crown Prince.
