The Commonwealth of Vitosium, formerly the Kingdom of Vitaso, is a nation in the Coalition of Crown Albatross located on the continent of Adula, bordered by Kuresa, Mulfulira, and Durnstaal, with a coast along the Olympic Ocean and a maritime border with Greland.

The country was discovered in 1789 by an explorer named Alexander Agostinio, who was also the captain of the ship, Vitaso. He would command his crew to begin construction of a city that would house his own personal palace where he would see himself as a king. With the city complete, Agostinio began to expand what he would declare a new country named Vitaso. Now known as King Alexander of Vitaso, his "thirst for blood", as historians call it, lead to a country-wide mutiny and death of the royal family in 1811. The leader of the revolt, Bruno Saivas, was named the very first Prime Minister of the new democratic country. In an attempt to erase the history of Alexander Agostinio, the country was renamed Vitosium.

In 1844, a group calling themselves The New Capital Society began negotiations with the Prime Minister at the time, William Cimantal, to make the small city of Colburn the new capital city as opposed to Etherset in an attempt to further distance the country away from Alexander Agostinio. The country was divided over where the capital city should be, leading to the 1844 Civil War. In the end, Colburn became the new capital city and was later renamed Gatovita.
