The '''Barretoan Wars''', sometimes known as the '''Great Adula War''', were a series of interconnected conflicts which took place across Central and Southern [[Adula]] in the early 19th century. These conflicts marked the decline and eventual collapse of the Skithan Empire. The conflict began on March 5th, 1830 with a Skithan invasion of southern [[Durnstaal]] and northern [[Alcarres]] from occupied [[Emmiria]] and [[Saudi Jiddiya|Jiddiya]]. Though Skith's imperial territories in [[Euronia]] and [[Ausiana]] had dissolved in the previous decades, largely in part to the [[Zamastan War of Independence|Zamastanian revolution]] and other rebellions, they still held significant control over Adulan lands from [[Kuresa]] to [[Saint Croix and Bens]]. Trying to recover from their losses, the Skithan emperor [[Hang Almarez II]] ordered his armies to secure a border from growing Central Adulan threats to the empire's Emmirian territory, which resulted in an alliance of [[Durnstaal]], [[Alcarres]], [[New Elkland|Elkland]], and [[Alonnisosa]] pushing back against the invasion in the [[Kalater Mountains]].


The war progressed with intense fury as the allies of the [[Pan-Adulan Coalition]] fought brutal campaigns to push the Skithans out of Emmiria and Jiddiya, at which point the Free Emmirian government joined the Coalition. In Southern Adula, resistance arose in [[Zalluabed]] and the [[Qolaysia]]n isles against Skithan occupiers at key ports, while [[Timeria]]n and [[Unified Sera]]n naval vessels joined the fighting in the [[Albarine Sea]] and [[Emmiria Sea]] to deter Skithan movements attempting to counter the Coalition. Seran invasions and occupations of the western Emmirian coastlines created a divot for allied forces to begin pushing Skith out of the ancestral home of the Emmirians. Significant fighting also occurred in the [[Croix Sea]] as Skithan forces attempted to hold onto their key ports in [[Beresa]] and [[Bennom]]. Eventually, the Coalition was able to push Skithans out of the East Adula Desert and back within their modern territory and even further, freeing occupied [[Mulfulira]], [[Andaluni]], and [[Kuresa]] before reaching [[Quetana]]. To save face, Emperor Almarez granted Quetana independence in 1837 with the promise that their resistance forces would not join the Coalition, and then focused the imperial forces' attention to defending Skith's homeland. Quetanan rebels did join the [[Pan-Adulan Coalition|PAC]], however, and opened a second front to Skith's north. The war concluded with the surrender of [[Skithiana]] on July 7th, 1838.
'''Vongane''' is the capital and the largest city of [[Quetana]], with an estimated population of 3,505,526 within its administrative limits in an area of 100.05 km2. Vogane's urban area, which consists of the Vongane Administrative Division and sections of the [[Fiutania]] urban area extends beyond the city's administrative limits with a population of around 2.8 million people, being one of the most populous urban areas in [[Adula]] outside of [[Emmiria]] and [[Cadair]]. About 7 million people live in the Vogane metropolitan area, which represents approximately 42% of the country's population. It lies on the coast of the [[Olympic Ocean]]. Most of the headquarters of multinational corporations in Quetana are located in the Vongane area. It is also the political center of the country, as its seat of government and residence of the head of state.


[[Skith]] maintained a hold of only two overseas dependencies following their surrender; [[Ossinia]], which gained independence on March 6th, 1903, and [[Saint Croix and Bens]], which gained independence on August 31st, 1917. The war was named after Skithan general [[Mireya Barreto]], who began the conflict and directed the Skithan armies for the entirety of the war. He became notable for his charisma during conflict, which amounted to his soldiers performing extraordinarily well during the heat of battle despite tactical faults. It is estimated that more than 7 million people died during the conflict, including over 1 million non-combatants. Most of the deaths occurred in the first half of the war, when the intensity of the Coalition's venture to oust their invaders initially proved difficult. In the aftermath of the war, [[Timeria]], [[Unified Sera]], and the Central Adulan nations grew in economic prominence. In particular, Timeria's navy grew to become the most prominent in the [[Albarine Sea]], and the occupation of Farshara and Adhair by [[Unified Sera]] resulted in a lasting feud between Emmirian Muslims who claimed it as their ancestral home. The Barretoan Wars are widely credited with the destablization and ethnic tensions of Eastern and Southern [[Adula]].
Vongane is recognized as an alpha-level global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. It is one of the major economic centers on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Adula's Olympic coast. Vongane is one of the oldest cities in the world, and one of the oldest capital cities, predating other modern capitals by centuries. It hosts one of the [[Coalition of Crown Albatross]]'s main Judiciary Courts of Humanity, which became well known following its role in the [[Vongane Trials]] at the end of the [[Second War in Vulkaria]]. The city also serves as a major port of both entry and departure for immigrants arriving in and departing from the continent of Adula, with the [[Vongane International Airport]] (often aboard [[Quetana Airways]]) being one of the busiest on the continent, serving more than 48 million people in 2020. It has one of the highest levels of tourism of any city on [[Iearth]], with over 19 million visitors in 2020. The city has hosted two [[World Cup (Iearth)|World Cups]] ([[1984 Vongane World Cup|1984]], [[1998 Vongane World Cup|1998]]) and the [[2010 Summer Olympic Games (Iearth)|2010 Summer]] [[Olympic Games (Iearth)|Olympic Games]].
