Somewhere around January or February of 2021, Shadowvdark logged on for the first time in months with the urge to explore in the Augustan region. Initially running around CSA, he took to the sea and shortly afterwards stumbled upon a heavily griefed and unreinforced Venice, which had laid empty for almost two years at that point. Deciding to stay a while, Shadow brought over some materials to attempt to revitalize the city. Not too far into this project, he lost motivation at the monumental task of fixing Venice by himself. Thus, for a few more months, Venice would be empty oncemore.

In the weeks and months following Venne's acquisition of new mainland territory, the nation saw great development with the continued refurbishing of the main city area, a [[Great Overland Railway|GOR]] route going through the mainland, as well as the construction of various new structures. In addition to all of this, the constitution was written and thus the Vennish High Council saw its introduction. All of this only fueled Shadowvdark's interest in joining the [[Augustan Federation]], the premier alliance in the region. Thus, the resolution became one of the very first proposals to the council and in June of 2021 it passed with Shadow being elected representative preemptively shortly after. After some deliberation, Shadow approached [[SandFalls]] of the [[Confederation of Socialist Augusta|CSA]], who had previously shown support for Venne's inclusion in the alliance. Upon clarifying some details, she proposed Venne's council membership to the Augustan Council. The vote passed, with all participating representatives voting 'aye'.

The government structure of Venne iswas that of a direct democracy. The Vennish Constitution, ratified on June 1, 2021, was signed by all current citizens of Venne at the time. The document consists of a variety of rules and creates the Vennish High Council. The Vennish High Council iswas a body of three members, directly elected by Vennish citizens, that arewas in charge of governing the nation. This body iswas in charge of negotiating with foreign nations and cancould make other decisions with 2/3 approval of the council members. The High Council also considersconsidered proposals submitted by Vennish citizens. If the council majority approvesapproved of a proposal, it willwould be put up for vote byto all Vennish residents. If the proposal failsfailed, it canwas able to be amended and vetoed by the Council three times before it cancould no longer be proposed. Elections for the Vennish High Council arewere held on the first of every third month.
