{{For|Pavia's predecessor in [[CivClassic 2.0]]|Gabon}}

===From the Founding of the State to the First Global Conflict ===

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.

Later on in the day, the people of Griffin traversed through Pavian lands and settle north of the river, and both nations were joined by Lambat settling to the east on the 4th of June.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v4lrvs/the_east_rises_again_lambats_official_claims/</ref>

The peoples of Pavia originally settled inside of a cave at the northern tip of Auldmarche, quickly extracting resources out of the cave walls and establishing storage rooms, as well as living areas. However once the Bureau of Architecture decided to construct the foundations of the Pavian capital on the western coast of the greater landmass, it was collectively agreed to move to a cavern closer to the site.

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.

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.

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>

The Town Hall was finally completed on June 23rd 2022, marking Pavia's, and most likely the server's first megabuild.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vito3i/a_townhall_big_enough_for_the_whole_town_pavias/</ref>

''Main Articles: [[Estalia-Rhode Island War|Estalia - Rhode Island War]], [[Pavian Theater]]''

The newly elected Crown Prince, Gobblin I was barely 24 hours into his reign when the Estalia - Rhode Island conflict broke out on the 24th of July. The Principality's initial reaction was that of concern over potentially being dragged in via the defensive clause in the Elysian Pact,<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/july/25/estalia-rhode-island-conflict-threatens-elysian-pact-members/</ref>the Pavian government recognised that it was woefully unprepared to defend itself from raiders and the like, especially as Estalian fighters would be distracted by the on-going war. The newly appointed diplomat to the Elysian Pact & Rhode Island, Duke of Bedford BritishWanderer, engaged both parties to express Pavia's neutrality and wish to remain uninvolved, this wish seemed to be respected by Capri of Rhode Island and by Estalia with their assurance to not invoke the defensive clause of the Elysian Pact.

On July 26th, the Pavia Tribune reported on a battle that occurred just 200m off of the western coast, the ensuing battle resulted in a Rhode Island causality. The Privy Council immediately sent their diplomat, BritishWanderer to demand answers from Estalia for this usage of Pavian land to further the conflict, as a result of these conversations, Estalia promised to avoid using Pavian territory to conduct military strategy going forward in the conflict. Rhode Island also contacted the Pavian Government for answers the same evening. <ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/july/26/conflict-strikes-close-to-home-with-body-found-in-tunnel/</ref>

The Coast Guard apprehended an obby bomber and murderer who wreaked havoc in the city of the Grand Imperium on August 11th, taking his pearl back to the 'trainstation' bunker.<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/august/11/coast-guard-apprehends-international-fugitive-wanted-for-serious-crimes/</ref> This pearl took up the current prison population up to 2, joining UnholyOutlaw in the [[Jargon|spike]], who was pearled by BritishWanderer for raiding SPQR.

In the early hours of the 1st of August, reports would come in that Estalia's 0,0 infrastructure, shops and statue were obby-bombed by Rhode Island militants<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wdckwm/rhode_island_obby_bomb_break_00_signs/</ref>, this marked a turning point in the war where controversial actions in war became more commonplace. The Principality of Pavia immediately sought to condemn these actions and urged that all countries should join in calling for a worldwide commitment to rule out any destruction of civilian infrastructure whilst continuing to call for a strong and durable peace between both countries in a post by Duke of Bedford, BritishWanderer. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wderv6/the_principality_of_pavia_condemns_rhode_islands/</ref>

In the early hours of the 17th of August, five Rhode Island fighters faced off against a contingent of Estalians and Titan fighters in SPQR lands, with one causality on the Rhode Island side<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/august/15/allied-forces-defend-sqpr-vault-against-rhode-island-attack-attempt/</ref>. This further pushed the conflict towards Pavia's borders. After this skirmish, Rhode Island fighters were spotted snitching various portions of Pavia's landmass, and scouting the shoreline, once again breaking the instructions to remain out of Pavian territory.

The leadership of Rhode Island changed once again on the 17th of August leaving Danirague in-charge of the nation, shortly after assuming sole leadership, they made a formal declaration of war on Pavia and it's allies public.<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/august/17/rhode-island-declares-war-on-pavia/</ref> <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wqvgbt/the_olive_branch_is_no_longer_extended/</ref>Immediately following this post, Rhode Island fighters then bombed travel infrastructure connecting Pavia with its allies and re-entered Pavia to place more snitches.

Rhode Island fighters subsequently decimated Pavian builds and lands with the spread of reinforced obby across the landscape, bombing indiscriminately. Although Pavian Coalition fighters attempted to catch them off numerous times, they continued to return throughout the evening and pile up obsidian, with some pillars of obsidian reaching 13 blocks high. Estalian forces attempted to put an end to the obby bombing, engaging in small skirmishes with Adderral & RonPaul in the north-west of Pavia, however to little effect as the obby bombings would continue until the north was littered with obsidian.

When cleaning up obsidian on the western shoreline during the late evening of the 17th, Duke of Braemar Cissonius was set upon by 4 Rhode Island fighters, Cissonius was over 400m from the vault and without any reinforcements. He successfully kited back to Terminus, whilst a joint force of Estalian and Pavian fighters gave chase to the Rhode Island attackers, the Estalian portion of the defense force chased the assailants nearly 300m into the western ocean.

In the early hours of the 20th of August, reports came through to Elysian Pact high command that SPQR infrastructure was under assault by a contingent of Rhode Island forces, made up of Adderral, HOODRATSLAYA, RonPaul & Dollaz. Estalia took the initiative to assemble a sizable force of fighters from Pavia, Jorvik & Estalia to counter-attack RI in SPQR, led by S4NTA & Gregy165 and supported by BritishWanderer, Gobblin, Quinndolin, Stardarkness, thejkh, tomyy789. Upon the Estalian response force's arrival into SPQR, the Rhode Island fighters promptly fled west thought by the Estalian force to be fleeing back towards their home country. However, the Rhode Island forces would loop south by 2000 metres and land on the shores of Pavia which was left virtually undefended with most of the present Elysian Pact pvpers in southern SPQR, Walkers from Estalia engaged in a 4v1 clash in the fields of Pavia whilst the Elysian Pact force made it's way back down south, attempting to cut off any potential escape by the Rhode Islanders. The Rhode Island combatants, having successfully baited the Elysian Pact forces north and now back south, took flight back west towards Rhode Island before any causalities were realised.

Following on from the initial Call to Arms by the Principality of Pavia<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wr2bzv/a_call_to_arms_from_the_principality_of_pavia_and/</ref>, on the 21st of August, the Duke of Bedford renewed his call to arms in a new Reddit post, stating that, despite continued attacks by Rhode Island, "Pavia, the Principality, and our Coalition of allies remain standing strong, successfully holding the Lyrean front against all odds." BritishWanderer dubbed the group consisting of Pavia, its allied countries as well as individuals who help it as the Coalition or the Pavian Coalition.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wu7dt1/the_pavian_coalition_calls_for_your_aid/</ref>

The 28th of August would see another incursion by Rhode Island, TheKingCacti pushed into Pavia himself and ultimately overextended resulting in his pearling by Estalian fighter, S4NTA. <ref>https://i.imgur.com/SV5Cgb2.png</ref>It was another week until the next incursion by Rhode Island into Pavia took place. In the early hours of the10th of September, Adderal rushed into the bedrock area of the Terminus Vault and attempted to break entry pressure plates and doors on the west side of the vault before quickly retreating upon response by Pavian and Estalian fighters.

The incursion by Adderal would be followed up on the 11th of September, with a large contingent of Rhode Island fighters returning to Pavia. The Rhode Islanders created an attack tunnel which ran from RI claims to the Pavian Vault, using this tunnel to remain undetected by snitches and coalition fighters, they quickly broke city bastions around the western claim and destroyed multiple vault bastions at bedrock. Upon the realisation of the attack, Estalia quickly mobilised 10 of their fighters to counter the offensive, and engaged in combat. The tight spaces and broken bastions, allowing Rhode Islanders to place reinforced blocks of their own, resulted in the loss of JKH, an Estalian fighter. Rhode Island withdrew as a group with the pearl back to their home country.

A copycat attack would take place on the 13th of September by Rhode Island, with Adderral, Ez2clutch, CostcoFruits and Hangoverd storming the bedrock of the Terminus Vault, however the attackers would quickly be repelled by a large cohort of coalition fighters, with the skirmish leaving minimal damage to Pavia.

The 17th of September began with an attack on Pavian soil led by Dollaz and joined by CostcoFruits and MrFlipkin, they bored a tunnel south of the Town Hall and laid an obsidian trap below the surface. They were quickly set on by Pavian & Estalian fighters, led by Walkers & Gobblin who routed the Rhode Islanders back to their country.

----

The conclusion of the Pavia - Rhode Island conflict sparked an immense boom in construction within Pavia. By the 21st of September, the Bureau of Architecture finished erected the first two townhouses in the City of Pavia, which became the start of fulfilling a promise made by the Government to house those who lived inside of the cave of Pavia. These constructions were especially necessary due to the obby-bombing that the cave had endured during the war, which made it practically uninhabitable and unusable by any of the citizenry.

The Duchies of Pavia represent the land of the highest ranking nobles in Pavia bar the Crown Prince. Duchies are created from a majority vote of the Privy Council, however the Crown Prince controls expansion of the Duchies as the sole arbitrator of the Crownland territories. Dukes retain final-say over their land, with each Duchy acting as a de-facto self governing region of Pavia, with the ability for it's own rules, governance and way of life. Splits in the culture and evolution of the typical Pavian architecture is encouraged within Ducal land as a manner of promoting a diverse set of regions across the Principality. Duke hold the ability to grant portions of their held land to lower nobility, enshrining citizens as 'landed nobility'. These nobles have powers over their own territory much like a Duke possesses however they lack the same protections, as their title may be stripped, and their lands reabsorbed at any time by the reigning Duke.

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, meaning there are currently no secondary inheritors as of October 2022.

Before the recognition of the claims of Pavia, the official state religion was to be the [[Church of t]].

The Institutions of Pavia are the established bodies deemed of vital importance to the health of the Principality, and as such the institutions along with their bureau heads are enshrined in the Constitution, requiring a unanimous vote to overhaul them.

The Heraldry of Pavia is under the purview of the Bureau of Semiography, which is currently led by Hitobashuru. Hitobashuru has been responsible for creating the Coat of Arms for 6 Dukedoms, and 1 Seigneury. The CoAs are made with continual advice from the noble and are made to reflect their traditions, colours, and their attributes.

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. The position of Head of Architecture is currently inhabited by Gobblin, Duke of Windermere.

The Crown Prince's rule would be the longest of any Crown Prince up until this point and as a result, their reign would oversee a myriad of monumental changes in Pavia, through its diplomacy, law, architecture, and geopolitical changes. BritishWanderer III would begin their reign under the tumultuous period of the Rhode Island conflict, culminating in the last stand of the vault and a no-surrender decree days before victory was eventually declared on the 18th of September. The end of the war caused an architectural and building boom the likes of which Pavia hadn't seen before, the Pavian Cathedral would be erected and would host a grand wedding and crisis during this period.
