Etymology

The country of San Giorgio was named after Saint George. Also known as Joris of Lysia, Geórgios (Laimaic: Γεώργιος), or Georgius (East-Aroman). According to oral tradition, he was a Lysian soldier in the Aroman army of the 4th Century CE. As an early follower of Christianity, he was ordered to reject his religious beliefs. When George refused to do so, he was sentenced to death. Saint George became one of the most revered Christian saints, especially in military circles.

The actual name “George” comes from γεωργός (geōrgós) and means “earth worker” or “farmer”. It is a combination of γεω (geō, “earth”) and ἔργον (érgon, “work”). This name was quite common in the rural areas of Occidental antiquity.

• Mantellan explorers landed on the island of Saint George on 23 April 1300.
• Colony of San Giorgio was established in 1309 AD and encompassed the whole of the island outside a couple Iberic trade cities on the north-east coast.
• Iberos and Mantella had several colonial skirmishes. One of these resulted in Mantella having to sell half of the island of Saint George to Iberos. The Iberics established their own colony of San Jorge.
• in $year San Giorgio declared independence from the shrinking Mantellan Empire. Great Anglia aided San Giorgio's independence. The revolution ended with Mantella and Iberos recognising San Giorgio's independence on 23 April 1901.
• San Giorgio only had one king, King Andrea Mediuci-Odell, from 1901 up until his death in January 1922.

Politics

Every 5 years is a general election for the Presidency.

Vice President, Alvise Barbato

Political families

Of the 19 elections and 13 presidencies, 12 of them have come from only 3 families: the House of Barbato, the House of Mediuci, and the House of Salvadori. The current president, Celso Salvadori, was publicly tutored under Alvise Barbato who was the 10th president of San Giorgio and now Celso Salvadori's own Vice President. San Giorgio's only king, Andrea the First, was from both the Houses of Mediuci and Odell via his father and mother, respectfully.

#	Name	Presidencies
1	House of Barbato	5
2	House of Mediuci	4
3	House of Salvadori	3

The only president not to come from one of the three presidential dynasties was Diana D'Aprile the 9th President of San Giorgio who held office for 9 years, forgoing her final year in office due to the death of her husband.
