'''Apricus''', officially the '''State of Apricus''' is a federal state located in [[Western Varisia]] along the Great Shomerisian sea that borders [[Hiraeth]] to the south. The geographical location of Apricus has kept it under the shadow of [[Hiraeth]] and largely dependent on it. The country's population is known to be largely introverted.  
'''Zama''', officially the '''Kingdom of Zama''' is an absolute monarchy located in [[Western Varisia]] that borders [[Hiraeth]] to the north and [[Marsonia]] to the west. Since its foundation, the country has been notorious for its fragile stability and intermittent periods of political turmoil. Located mostly within the mountainous region of Western Varisia, the country lacks access to clean drinking water, which has played a primary role in most conflicts in its history.

The borders of contemporary Apricus are the result of the gradual and slow mass withdrawal of the Grand Queendom of [[Betancourt]]. Its territory was part of the larger Athemian tribal land and hence was part of the Greater Athema province within the Grand Queendom of [[Betancourt]].
Throughout its history, Zama was the site of multiple ancient cultures and civilizations; Zama's prehistory reveals some of the earliest evidence of human existence. The area of modern-day Zama formerly consisted of parts of southern Greater Athema and all of Eneda. Through a series of conquests beginning in 1653 with the capture of Eneide, King Rein Lang founded the Kingdom of Zama in 1676.
With the withdrawal of the Grand Queendom of [[Betancourt]] in 1698, Apricus gained independence under President Antonio Lorenzo in 1700. Apricus's history since independence has been marked by relative political stability and prosperity based on Ceva's position as a regional center for finance and trade.

Apricus gained a measure of independence during the Betancourtian mass withdrawal. President Antonio Lorenzo, the Head of the National Athemian Convention, played a major role in the independence of the nation. Under political pressure from both inside and outside Apricus, President Antonio Lorenzo announced the independence of Apricus on 5 July 1723, and later on proposed that Apricus would mandate over the rest of Greater Athema upon the dissolution of the grand queendom. Elections were held in 1725 and Antonio Lorenzo was elected as the first president of Apricus.

Niccolò Palazzo began planning to seize power shortly after his dismissal as the Governor of South Apricus. While Niccolò Palazzo had been in de facto command of South Apricus since 1730, Antonio Lorenzo and his supporters still held all the formal trappings of power there. Niccolò Palazzo was invited to attend the Annual Congress Meeting held on 1 October 1734. At the congress, Niccolò Palazzo was condemned by Antonio Lorenzo's congressional bloc for weakening the federal state in South Apricus. However, before attending the congress, Antonio Lorenzo had broadcasted to the southern territories of Apricus loyal to him that the congress had planned to officially withdrew their declaration of intent to mandate over the entirety of Greater Athema. The congress was swarmed by angry mobs that accused the congress of treason.
Niccolò Palazzo ordered loyalists to arrest the leading members of Antonio Lorenzo's government. While many leading middle men were offered posts in Apricus' embassies abroad, Antonio Lorenzo refused, telling Niccolò Palazzo, "The streets of Athema will be painted with your blood one day." In response, Niccolò Palazzo imprisoned Antonio Lorenzo who was later executed for treason.

Geography

The narrow and discontinuous coastal plain stretches from the Hiraethian border in the south to central Apricus. The Apricusian mountains rise steeply parallel to the Great Shomerisian coast and form a ridge of limestone and sandstone that runs for most of the country's length.

The mountains of Apricus are drained by seasonal torrents and rivers. Apricus has 24 rivers all of which are non navigable, 20 of which originate from Mount Ceva and run through the steep gorges and into the Great Shomerisian.

Demographics

The population of Apricus is estimated to be 189,421. Apricus has witnessed a major migration wave of over 40,000 people in the 1720s, 1730s and 1740s, mainly for its relative higher standards of living.
