| '''Gapolania''', officially '''Republic of Gapolania''' ({{wp|Italian language|Vespasian}}: ''Repubblica Gapolanesa''; {{wp|Croatian language|Novalian}}: ''Gapolanijska Republika'')) is a sovereign country in [[Asteria Inferior]]. It borders [[Caluchia]] to the south-west, while bordering the East Arucian Sea to the north-west and the [[Lumine Ocean]] to the north and east. The country is a parliamentary unitary republic, divided into 11 governorates (''governatorato'', ''namjesništvo'') and a capital domain of [[Nassea]], which is also the republic's most populated city. | | == Background == |
| | [[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. |
|
| |
|
| Povelian settlers first arrived in the region during early 16th century, establishing a port town of Nassea. This was followed by mass Vespasian migration and spread of Catholicism in the newly established state. Following the establishment of [[First Etrurian Republic]], republican ideas spread to Gapolania and, upon restoration of monarchy in the metropolis, the country declared its independence in 1810, being the last Etrurian colony in [[Asteria Inferior|Asterias]] to do so. The republic saw large influx of Vespasian and, particularly, Novalian immigrants in the second half of 19th century, resulting in rapid economic development, based on principles of industrial revolution that took place in [[Euclea]]. Rising tensions between Vespasian and Novalian immigrant, as well as a worldwide economic crisis, resulted in a far-right movements coming to power. In 1915, Lorenzo Castiglione established "Regime of the Sun" (''Soleggiato''), focused mostly on economic development through investments in heavy industry, discrimination of Novalians and indigenous people and xenophobia. Castiglione's politics were largely influenced by functionalist ideology of Gaullica and the country joined the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] as an ally of [[Entente]]. After deafeat, Gapolania descended into political instability and economic decline, sparking a nation-wide revolution led by Dušan Oseja overthrew Castiglione and established a {{wp|Peronism|supportist}} state, however, continuous economic instability and inflation led to [[1981 protests (Gapolania|protests in 1981]] and Oseja was forced to resign as a president. Since 1980s, Gapolania has developed economically and socially, becoming a full democracy.
| | 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. |

| Gapolania is a developed nation, with mixed market economy based on petrochemical industry, wood manufacturing, shipbuilding and fishing. Most of nation's energy supply comes from renewable resources, including hydroelectric facilities and wind parks. It's considered a high-income country and ranks well in economic freedom and income equality. It's a socially progressive country, with state-wide indigenous languages reintroduction and heritage protection programs. It's a member of [[Community of Nations]], [[International Council for Democracy]] and [[International Trade Organization]]. | | == Colonization == |

| | [[File:Gapolania_colonial_map.png|thumb|left|Map of sea and land expeditions in Gapolania.]] |
| | 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. |
| | ==== Expedition of Giovanni Senafori ==== |
| | [[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]]. |
|
| |
|
| == Etymology ==
| | 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. |
| Name Gapolania is directly attributed to Alberto Gappolani, the first governor of the land since 1531. While Povelian expeditions discovered and settled in the territory of modern Gapolania almost a decade earlier, the land beared no particular name, most commonly being referred to as Nassea, coming from the main town on the coast of the Eastern Arucian Sea. Governor Gappolani himself did call the colony Nassea as well, and only after his death in 1548 the Povelian authorities granted the state a new name, honoring Gappolani.
| |
| | |
| The land had different names within indigenous groups. Several groups used varying titles but those usually referred only to a smaller area, often under a direct control of each tribe. Later in 17th and 18th centuries, a few Jimoka groups forged the term ''matikando'', meaning "different kingdom", expressing their unwillingness to accept Euclean authorities. This term is not used nowadays, though ''mati'' expression appears in Jimoka slang.

| The territory of current day Gapolania had been inhabited by at least a millenium before the arrival of Povelian settlers, primarily by Jimoka speaking groups. There had been at least 20 distinct tribal groups, most of whom were nomadic or semi-nomadic, dependent on local climate and availability of resources. There had been around 5000 indigenous people in Gapolania on Povelian arrival, who had been largely pushed back inland by Euclean settlers. Several of the tribes remained nomadic and unpacified until the end of 19th century.
