'''Colonization of Gapolania''' was a period in [[History of Gapolania|history of Gapolania]] between 1523 and 1531, started by the arrival of [[Domenico Sarutina]] in the bay of Astia and finished by the establishment of the [[Governorate of Gapolania|Governorate of Nassea]] by [[Alberto Gappolani]]. Following the discovery of the north-eastern parts of [[Asteria Inferior]] by Povelian explorers, the region was subjected to extensive marine and inland expeditions, {{wp|Italians|Vespasian}} settlement, wars with the indigenous people and slavery.

'''Silvio Amindè''' (April 7, 1762 – November 22, 1816) was a Gapolanese theologist, writer and politician, who led the Republican Movement of Gapolania from 1806 to 1808, signed the declaration of independence of Gapolania in 1808 and ultimately served as the First Citizen of the [[First Republic of Gapolania|Republic of Gapolania]]. Popularly associated with the [[Pantheonisti]] movement in the country, he advocated for the unification of the former [[Etruria|Etrurian]] colonies in Asteria Inferior and creation of the religious state known as [[Heavenly Asteria]] (''Asteria Celeste'').  
[[File:Medieval_carrack_-_detail_by_Pieter_Bruegel_the_Elder.jpg|thumb|200px|''La Orchidea'', Domenico Sarutina's ship, is described as the first vessel to reach the coast of Gapolania.]]
Discovery of modern-day Gapolania is commonly attributed to Domenico Sarutina, a Povelian trader, however, Sarutina initally was a part of a bigger fleet of [[Raffaelle di Mariran]]. Di Mariran's expedition was ordered by the Doge of the Exalted Republic of Poveglia, whose goal was to map the coast of the Asterias and establish outposts that would expand the republic's trade opportunities. The expedition departed from Povelia in 1522 and reached the New World a year later. While di Mariran arrived on the coast of [[West Arucian Sea]], several ships, including ''La Orchidea'', commanded by Sarutina, were blown off the course during storm and ventured further east. It is unclear why the ships did not attempt to rejoin di Mariran and instead kept on sailing east, ultimately discovering Gapolania. Several studies claim that it was Sarutina's ambition and desperation for an achievement of his own that led the rest of the fleet there, making it simply a personal and emotional reason, while others do explain that by taking into consideration logistical factors - dwindling supplies, reaching fully unknown waters and having no information of the main fleet's whereabouts caused Sarutina to sail to the first safe spot encountered along the way, trying to establish contact with di Mariran and Povelia upon disembarking.


In April of 1523, Sarutina's crew arrived at the Bay of Astia on the northwestern tip of Asteria Inferior. According to the reports, 339 people landed, most of them exhausted or with {{wp|scurvy}} symptoms. Upon discovering that di Mariran had reached [[Asteria Superior]] and had engaged in a war with Oaexicun Empire, Sarutina claimed the area for Povelia and established an outpost of [[Astia]]. This marked the beginning of an intense colonization period. In the upcoming year, over 10 thousand people migrated into the region.

Following the discovery of Gapolania by Domenico Sarutina, the land quickly attracted several other traders, military figures and explorers. Often, in the name of Povelia, these people would claim power, accomplishments and rewards for themselves, as settling in Gapolania promised a land to own, resources to trade and people to command. Starting in 1523, there were four major marine expeditions to Gapolania.

[[Giovanni Senafori]] was a Povelian trader that had been previously trading spices from [[Bahia]]. When di Mariran reached the coasts of Asteria Superior, Senafori had already gathered a small fleet, ready to assist di Mariran in his conquests. Many of the crew members were experienced traders and soldiers. Senafori departed from Povelia in late 1522 but and reached [[Marirana]] in the summer of 1523 but, upon learning oabout the discovery of Gapolania by Domenico Sarutina, sailed further east, thinking that his fleet would be needed more there. The flotilla reached the coast of Gapolania in late 1523, passed the Cape of Basaìa and disembarked in the Basaìa Bay, founding a small outpost of [[Baria]].
 
Surrounding area was inhabited by the indigenous tribes of Dajù and Kanimoka. Initially friendly, the natives were expelled by force from the coast as Senafori claimed it for Povelia. The terrain around the town of Baria proved to be decent for sugarcane harvesting, soon making it one of a major sugar producers for Povelia. Senafori himself engaged in a dispute with Sarutina, with Sarutina worried about increasing Senafori's influence over the region. While many groups started to settle around Baria and ventured deeper into the continent, Sarutina forbid them from passing the [[Semara river]], claiming the territory had already been assigned to the settlers arriving in Astia. Personal conflict ended in 1526, when Sarutina was killed in the clash with the indigenous people. Senafori played a significant role in developing Gapolenese industry, supporting Gappolani's governorship.
