Creice (/ɡɹeɪs/, Creicean: Κρήτης, tr. Krítis), officially the Venerable Tryphonate of Creice (Creicean: σεβάσμιος τρυφωνικός της κρήτης, Sevásmios Tryfonikós tis Krítis) is a sovereign state in Esvanovia. It is located on the southern end of the continent of Anagonia with the Strait of Prónoia to the south, with New Caqueta to the north, Mon Sold to the east and Drakanduna to the west. The country is comprised of the Kardiá mainland and thirty-one barrier islands. The capital city of Creice is Vousa, while Kriva is the country's largest city and cosmopolitan center. The population of 114.6 million people live mostly on the coastal plains and barrier islands, with the country's interior a mixtre of mountainous highlands and grasslands cultivated for agriculture.

The country is divided into twenty-five provinces called Katástasi and the Vasilikí Synoikía, or Royal District. Each of the country's provinces and royal district are managed by the central government in Vousa. The thirty-one islands are each semi-autonomous units within the Tryphonate called Nisiotikí that act mostly like the Katástasi with some minor variations on internal governance. Creice has a high HDI score and is considered a technologically-advanced country, though it suffers from moderate income inequality and a rising poverty rate compared to its neighbors.

Creice was first occupied by human inhabitants during the tail end of the upper paleolithic period (circa 12,000 BC). The ensuing Xenophanesic Era would see hunter-gatherers begin to transition into agriculture, seeing the first sustained settlements along the coast where farming and fishing were prevalent. The Ancient Creicean language was created around 6000 BC, eventually supplanting local dialects to become the predominant language of the region by the time of the Anaxagorasian city-states. In August 2605 BC, the philosopher-scribe Heraclitus began a revolution against the feudal city-state of Vousa; this revolution would ultimately lead to the formation of the Bronze Republic and the birth of democracy in Creice. The fortunes of the republic would ebb and flow over the course of two millennia, though rising corruption and political intrigue would ultimately see the death of the republic and the rise of military control, the First and Second Directorates. During the Second Directorate, the warlord Tryphon of Kokkinchorio would wipe awawy the last remnants of the old republic and begin the period of the Tryphonate. Internal intrigues would plague the monarchy through its first millennium of existence, with many civil conflicts over lines of succession creating periods of crisis. Since the advent of the House of Ioannidis in 973 AD, the country has enjoyed an unbroken string of domestic peace and civil stability, leading to its economic and military growth as a regional power.
