"His Bravery Preserves The State"|discord=https://discord.gg/avbxA9Ke4P|succeeded_by=[[Arcandria|Commonwealth of Arcandria]] (Salerno dissolved on the 20th of December, 2023)}}
'''Salerno''' (officially the '''Kingdom of Salerno''') was a short lived semi-constitutional monarchy located on the continent of [[Karydia]] of [[CivMC]]. It was established on the 5th of December, 2023 by a group of new players, alongside a substantial contingent of former Papal States citizens and administrators. It officially succeeded the prior pontifical administration of the region under Lucius I's Papal States, following the ratification of the ''Sixth of December Agreement'' between the two powers. The Kingdom of Salerno was the protecting power of the [[Catholic Church|Brunsvik City State]], with relations between the two entities governed by the aforementioned ''Sixth of December Agreement''. The Kingdom of Salerno ceased to exist upon the end of the [[Grasslands Gambit|Post-Nut Clarity War]],<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18kucsw/partition_of_caerdun/</ref> with many of its citizens emigrating to the new [[Arcandria|Commonwealth of Arcandria]].
== Politics ==
Salerno was governed by a semi-constitutional monarchy, with a proactive monarch governing the state alongside a Prime Minister who is, by convention, chosen by the Royal Sejm (the national legislature). The Royal Sejm was composed of noble representatives (life peers), special representatives appointed for their expertise (appointees), and elected representatives (elected representatives). In practice, life peers
Although the Monarch maintained a sizable contingent of reserve powers, most actual authority was exercised by the Prime Minister and their cabinet, who serve while holding the confidence of the Royal Sejm. In particular, a group of former Curial administrators rose to become effectively paramount leaders of the Kingdom, making major decisions for the nation regardless of official laws and roles limiting their technical authority.

== History ==
Salerno inherited the property, equipment, and membership of the Pontifical Palatine Guard following the ''Sixth of December Agreement'', which formed the basis for the Salernan standing army (known as the Royal Guard), based out of the Lexington Bunker (named in honor of one of the Catholic Church's residents) in central Salerno. The Lexington Bunker in particular was disabled by
Salerno was a combatant nation in the Post-Nut Clarity War, fighting with its [[Gang Shi]]/[[Butternut]] allies following the DGP's first strike on the Gang Shi bunker. Salernan Royal Guards achieved one of the only kills of the war (despite not securing the pearl) and saw active combat on the
Salerno's decision to join the war was internally controversial, with many Salernan officials initially against the decision to join the war on the same side of [[Lambeau]] fighters who once stole the lands of the Catholic Church. However, eventually, all Salernan officials closed ranks and agreed to support the war effort (which was short lived, culminating in the rapid defeat of the Gang Shi/Butternut alliance).
After the war Salerno's Caerdun territory was forcibly de-claimed<ref name=":1">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18k1i3n/grasslands_gambit_sentencing_and_land_claims/</ref> and was split up between [[Northfort]] and [[Baile]] after those nations had discussed it with [[Icenia (CivMC)|Icenia]].<ref name=":0" /> The Asgard claims of Salerno were given to the Imperial Federation.<ref name=":1" />
== Economics and Culture ==
The Salernan economy was moderately advanced, with most important factories provided for public use by the Salernan government. Salerno operated primarily off of a command economy, with all economic decisions made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Much of Salerno's economy, like the previous Papal Administration, was based off of trade with Gang Shi (with relations initially established by controversial Papal representative [[Carter_t23]]), which contributed to Salerno's controversial decision to back Gang Shi in the
