===Venice and the Jeffersonian Confederacy===
Venice, the floating city upon which Venera is built, was originally constructed by user Macndeeze (formerly known as TheOnlyMatt) shortly after his joining of CivClassics in 2018. Originally traveling to [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic)]], he was exiled from the city due to his involvement in an incident of civil unrest. For a while after this, he found himself living as a hermit in southern MtAMount Augusta, until he came into contact with an individual who owned an incredibly small chunk of land off the coast. Convincing the user to sell it to him for "like 10 iron ingots or some ridiculously cheap amount," Macndeeze sailed off to stake his claim. The island itself was roughly a 5x5 square of sand upon which Macndeeze would construct his city.
 
With his newly acquired island and an inventory full of resources, matt got to work. To begin, he leveled the island and built his home, which now stands as the guard tower, Venne's oldest building and one of its protected historical landmarks. He then set up the essentials for the time, such as a farm and a mine which is in use by the residents of Venne to this day. Over time, he would expand the area to include apartments, a general store, a town square, and more. With the city's expansion came the need to define its shape, and thus he began using the cobblestone he had acquired to construct a wall around the city, hoping to restrict builds and create a densely populated metropolis along the lines of [[Yoahtl]]'s capital of Nixotlan, claiming that, "This would resolve the issue MtA had where it was absolutely massive and difficult to traverse."

===Dereliction and Griefing===
While sporadically coming on to engage in projects such as the rail to Brodre, JC (now [[WesburyOakhurst]]) or the general maintenance of the city itself, Macndeeze's activity on CivClassics eventually faded in favor of the newly arising CivEx, which the Jeffersonian Confederacy largely shifted over to due to beliefs at the time that CivClassics may soon go down for good. Effectively abandoning Venice in favor of the construction of "NeoJefferson" on CivEx, Macndeeze entrusted the care of Venice to CryptoBlok, a founding member of the Jeffersonian Confederacy in early January of 2019. During this period, Venice would weather the throes of the server, being griefed at least one confirmed time and almost certainly many other incidents that went unreported.

===The Vennish High Council===
The government structure of Venne is 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 is a body of three members, directly elected by Vennish citizens, that are in charge of governing the nation. This body is in charge of negotiating with foreign nations and can make other decisions with 2/3 approval of the council members. The High Council also considers proposals submitted by Vennish citizens. If the council majority approves of a proposal, it will be put up for vote by all Vennish residents. If the proposal fails, it can be amended and vetoed by the Council three times before it can no longer be proposed. Elections for the Vennish High Council are held on the first of every third month.
