Porto Greco, officially the Maritime Federation of Porto Greco (Mantellan: Federazione Marittima di Porto Greco), is a thalassocratic country located in the southern end of Eurth's Alharun continent. The country itself consists of 5 separate territories, all surrounding the Synthe Sea; the regions of Bartolomeo and Kaertoterra border Kertosono to the west, while the southern regions of Terra de Canalle and Gi Liontarion border Eulycea and Mesothalassia. Overall, Porto Greco amounts to 257,471 square kilometres (99,410 sq mi) in territorial extension.
The disjointed national territory was originally inhabited by many ethnic groups. The only exception were the territories that are part of today's southern Regions of Terra de Canalle and Gi Liontarion, territory that was flanked eastwards by a desert limiting influx of people. In Porto Greco's other regions, though, many ethnic groups were established, including the Salu. In the easternmost Regions of Bartolomeo and Kaertoterra, Kertic groups dominated local trade and relations.
Etymology
History
Porto Greco's origins remount to the rediscovery of the New Wurld, specifically in Alharu in western Eurth; this period was subsequently followed by a boom[3] in trans-Adlantic trade between the old Europan powers and the new settlements and colonies that were being created. The New Wurld and its promising potential encouraged sizeable groups of Mantellan and Tagmatine aristocrats and wealthy tradesmen to migrate into the general region.[4] This led to the creation and expansion of various settlements dedicated to commerce and trade.
Porto Greco, as the three most important settlements — Chavello, Perla Lucente, and Merlono — were beginning to be known collectively, quickly flourished as a trading center and a premier stop-over point for trans-adlantic ships. This quickly catapulted the founding settlements into a prolonged period of economic prosperity and social stability.[3] At the same time, there existed sharp ethnic divisions and the implementation of hostile policies against many indigenous groups. Further, the increased volume of trade was met by an urgent need to regulate and essentially monopolize the booming trade from Alharu and Aurelia to Europa and vice versa. Talks started between some top families and corporations in the region and culminated in the Convention of Chavello, formally establishing the Serene Corporation of the New Wurld.
Riding on newfound economic domination and stability born from the eradication of petty squabbles that weakened further exploration, the newly-founded Corporation began a flurry of eastwards expansions. This ultimately culminated in the occupation and annexation of the territory that would be incorporated as the region of Riva Monetta. This annexation expanded Porto Greco's economic might, maritime control, and ship-building capabilities, furthering its position as a solid middle power that due to its privileged position accumulated power in the Messothalasan region.
Modern Porto Grecan history begins with the promulgation of the 1871 Taddonio charter, which among other aspects established the Maritime State of Porto Greco as a modern state and stripped power away from the New Wurld Corporation. Retaining the electoral holdover from the nation's corporate past, Gemiliano Taddonio (who also promulgated the eponymous charter), introduced a sweeping series of political and economic changes aimed towards fomenting modern economics and liberalism in the country.
For Porto Greco, the latter half of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century were marked by immigration from elsewhere, most notably the Yellow Empire, and the end of expulsions that targeted the nation's Kertic and Salu minorities. Coinciding with the age of industrialization, these groups would transform Porto Greco from a relatively homogenous country, with the vast majority of the settlers being Europan in origin[5] into a multiethnic state. However, these ethnic minorities concentrated in their own territories and thus in relatively consolidated groups. Furthermore, such an arrangement gave way to rebellions and instability, most notably among the neglected Huangi and Salu ethnic groups. The aftermath of the catastrophic Salu rebellion forced the Reunion to transform Porto Greco into a decentralized federation in 1929 by the promulgation of the Federal Charter. As a result, regionalism began to play a more impactful role in Porto Grecan politics, thereby cementing and cementing ethnic confrontation within the country.
The country entered the 21st century facing several unique challenges. There was a decrease in international trade[6] and fewer ships used Porto Greco as a stop-over point in comparison to other periods throughout the country's history and domestic opposition to tourism.[6] These combined factors caused Porto Greco's GDP to shrink by 6% from 1997 to 2007[6]. The latter year would also initiate a further decline of Porto Greco both politically and economically; the 2007 Riva Moneta crisis, among high-profile cases of state censorship and suppression of various anti-government movements, significantly decreased international trust on Porto Greco, all causing the economy to further shrink by 4%[6].
While over the following years the economy has recovered, with the economy reaching 1997 levels in 2014 and growing at a modest average 0.6% of its GDP every year, Porto Greco's social development has stagnated: its HDI has remained stagnant for three years in a row[6], while its inequality score has actually increased from 2010 to 2020[6]. Regardless, Porto Greco maintains a highly advanced economy.[7] It is The country's economy is centered on commerce, banking, miscellaneous industrial activities and tourism. It also has one of the New Wurld's most stable records of social and economic freedoms, as well as a very competent navy capable of defending its extensive territories. This, together with its control of strategically important regions and trade routes, make Porto Greco a regional power.[7].
