Satavia, officially the Republic of Satavia (Satavian: Republiek van Satavia) is an island nation located off the tip of Nuvania, located in Asteria Inferior. Satavia shares no land borders with any other recognised countries, but shares a Maritime Border with Nuvania. The Capital and Largest City is Hopetown, also called Hoopstad in Satavian. The Country has two official languages: Estmerish and Satavian, a creole largely consisting of Estmerish and Hennish. One of the country's two largest industry is Viticulture, commonly called 'Wine Growing'. Specifically, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec are the most common grapes grown, as the country's climate accomodates the grape's perfectly. The Sheep and Cattle rearing industry are also a prominent part of the Country's economy. Satavia is a member of the inter-governmental organisation AFDC, now rebranded as ASTCOM.

Etymology

'Satavia', or in it's native form 'Sátiva', a given name from the Muisca Peoples, also refered to as the 'Muisca Tribe'. Post independence, the newly-elected government, lead by Sir Cecil Browning, wishing to distance itself from the colonial name of the 'Hope Colony', and later, the 'Dominion of Hope', chose to adopt a new name. The previous name, 'Hope' came from the Hennish 'Hoop', derivating from the 'River Hope', or in Satavian 'Rivier Hoop'.

History

Pre-Historic

Pre-Eucelan

Hennish Colonisation

At some time around March 1677, the Hennish explorer and poet, Jan van Breyetenbach, landed at the mouth of the River Hope. Van Breytenbach established the settlement of 'Hoopstad'. During September of that year, van Breytenbach was officially appointed 'Gouverneur van de Hoop Kolonie', or in Estmerish, 'Governor of the Hope Colony'. The colony was plagued by difficulty to begin with - a lack of sanitation in Hoopstad lead to an outbreak of Dysentery among the settlers. The colony also had trouble with the native population - up until 1679, when Chief Uk'anwa met with Jean de Flaissane, a colonist who arrived from Gaullica with the task of promoting Gaullica's interests in the colony, negotiated a treaty. The Treaty, often erinously refered to as the Treaty of Hoopstad, although actually called the ''Native-Flaissane Agreement'', ended hostilites with natives for the next 150 years. In 17

Hoop Kolonie (1711) by Adriaen de Wiart depicts the Hennish Settlement at Hoopstad. In reality, the painting is highly inaccurate, and de Wiart never visited the Hope Colony. Instead, he painted it off descriptions of the colony.
