Saint Sienia, officially the Republic of Saint Sienia (Temrian: La Repubblica di Santa Siena), is an island nation located in Stratea that covers an area of 6,359 km2 (2,455 sq mi) and has a population of over 2 million people. Saint Sienia is entirely surrounded by the Tenific Ocean, but is located very close to Gagium to its northwest. Saint Sienia's largest city and capital is Saint Sienia, with a population of roughly 485,000, which is nearly 25% of the island's total population. The city of Saint Sienia is the political, economic, and cultural center of the nation. Other large cities in Saint Sienia include Camnago, Razza, and Basovicca. Saint Sienia is renowned for its substantial tourist industry and tropical resorts.

It is believed that the island of Saint Sienia has been continuously inhabited since 900 BCE, when the city of Havguria was founded by Baninian nobleman Lemyrus. The island was conquered by Provitia in the aftermath of the Second Toustrellian War in 200 BCE, and once again conquered by the Mavonan Empire in 2 BCE. The island would be integrated into the Mavonan province of Baninia in 6 CE. The Mavonans took a special interest in the island, believing it to be the birthplace of the Gagian god Eroses. The Mavonan Emperor TBD ordered the construction of a grand villa on the island in 70 CE, and the island would remain a popular destination for the Mavonan wealthy. However, the island would fall out of popularity following the TBD Scare, a deadly plague that mainly ravaged Mavonan Provitia and would lead to the Masidrian Collapse. In 402, per the decree of the late Emperor TBD, Saint Sienia became part of Lower Mavona as the Mavonan Empire was split into five states as part of a scheme to preserve the greater empire.

Etymology

The nation is named after Sienia of Escounets, who is venerated as a saint by the Benevian Church. Sienia was the wife of TBD, King of Suntone from 832 to 849, and was known for convincing her husband to convert to Benevianism after claiming to receive a vision from Jesus Christ. The day of her feast, 18 March, corresponds with the day in the year 73 that Emperor TBD's villa on the island was completed. It is believed that Emperor TBD held a party a year after, on 18 March 74, where he proclaimed that the island was the "sole valuable piece of land in Baninia." Additionally, according to the renaissance-era Gagian historian Aymeric Barthet, Sienia briefly visited the island in 852, where she is said to have driven out Gagian pagans from the island.
