Pavia (/pɑːˈvɪˈə/, officially the Principality of Pavia) is a maritime nation located in the Lyrean Sea region of Vinteria, comprised of citizens of the former 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: Churchland, Crownland and Dukedoms. These classes administrate their own territories with full authority and cannot be superseded by another.
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 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.
History
((I am basically writing pure story-drivel of notes, please edit as you see fit to condense, contextualize and make sense of my ramblings))
Early History
Founding
On the 3rd of June 2022, many Pavians set off in a brave new world to search for their forever home. Their Graces, Paagf & Creepion 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 sight of land. Duke of 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 that there was a risk to 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.
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 in the northern tip of Auldmarche.
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.
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 would later be accompanied by a noteblock snitch network laid by BritishWanderer I.
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 inhabiting the cave until the Townhall of Pavia was completed, citizens would make the cave more homely over time by adding vast amounts of flora & fauna, and by June 5th would even introduce domesticated animals into the great hole as it became named by residents. Inhabitants would begin carving out inlets in the walls to make homes, with some of the grander dugouts hosting a kitchen, living room and bathrooms. On the 11th of June, the great hole of Pavia would come to host it's first commercial property, a topington shop selling cobble, andesite and prismarine. This shop would be a popular hit and sell out frequently.
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 townhall.
On the 5th of June, the Bureau of Architecture under the led of Duke of Winderemere, Gobblin and Duke of Vetranio, paagf would begin flattening, and terraforming vast tracts of land in preparation for the construction of the townhall. This terraforming would be completed the following day and efforts would commence on the bricklaying.
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 townhall 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, this coupled with the dilapidated state of the lighthouse and surrounding terrain earned the larger island the moniker of 'Quiet Isle' for it's eerie feeling.
Lucassio Islands
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 to 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 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 joined 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 it's 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.

Crown Prince Elections in Pavia
The Crown Prince of Pavia is elected by a majority of the Dukes no sooner than every six weeks and no later than every 12 weeks.
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 sided die and roll the dice, should their chosen number appear then they are deemed dead by the state and an election for a new Crown Prince is held immediately. Should the Crown Prince's number not appear, then they are safe from death until the next Saturday when they must roll again. However, this time picking two numbers, as the amount of numbers picked each Dice Day shall correspond to the number of Dice Days they have endured in their current reign. For instance if it was the Crown Prince's 3rd Dice Day then they will pick 3 separate numbers off of the dice, giving them just a 50% chance of survival.
Election Process
Elections are to be done anonymously, with each Duke informing the State Tabulator privately of their desired candidate for Crown Prince. If no Duke reaches the threshold of a majority, or if there is a tie, then the State Tabulator presents the anonymized vote tally to the Dukes, and voting shall continue in the same manner until a majority is reached. Within this system, elections for Crown Prince may go on for multiple rounds until a candidate is chosen.
Elections always take place on a Saturday, and in the event of a legal assassination of the Crown Prince, the election would be held on the nearest Saturday.
State Tabulator
The State Tabulator is elected unanimously by the Dukes and shall serve indefinitely until their removal or replacement.
