The Commonwealth of Vitosium, formerly the Kingdom of Vitaso, is a nation in the Coalition of Crown Albatross located on the continent of Adula, bordered by Kuresa, Mulfulira, Jyau, Nancaya, Rulani, and Durnstaal, with a coast along the Olympic Ocean and a maritime border with Greland. The country's capital city is Gatovita. The country is also considered the "entertainment hotspot" of the CCA.

The country was colonized in 1789 by an explorer named Alexander Agostinio, who was also the captain of the ship, Vitaso. He would command his crew to begin construction of a city that would house his own personal palace where he would see himself as a king. With the city complete, Agostinio began to expand what he would declare a new country named Vitaso. Now known as King Alexander of Vitaso, his "thirst for blood", as historians call it, lead to a country-wide mutiny and death of the royal family in 1811. The leader of the revolt, Bruno Saivas, was named the very first Prime Minister of the new democratic country. In an attempt to erase the history of Alexander Agostinio, the country was renamed Vitosium.

In 1844, a group calling themselves The New Capital Society began negotiations with the Prime Minister at the time, William Cimantal, to make the small city of Colburn the new capital city as opposed to Etherset in an attempt to further distance the country away from Alexander Agostinio. The country was divided over where the capital city should be, leading to the 1844 Vitosium Civil War. In the end, Colburn became the new capital city and was later renamed Gatovita. In 1853, Colburn was renamed Gatovita.

Vitosium is highly placed in rankings of Most Secular (1%), Most Influential (6%), Largest Basket Weaving Sector (10%), Least Corrupt Governments (10%), Largest Automobile Manufacturing (10%), and Largest Tourism Industry (7%). Vitosium is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of Vitosium enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct. The Vitosian economy is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing.

On May 6th, 2011, Vitosium, alongside Austrolis and Timeria, established the Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord (TAFCA).

As of April 18th, 2016, Vitosium joined the Western Euronia Defense Alliance (WEDA).

History

The Conquest of King Alexander

Before King Alexander's conquest, in 1775, here is the state of what would now be Vitosium. There were a few nations as well as unclaimed land.

The year was 1775. Born in the country of Kallamar Island, Alexander Agostinio, the captain of a crew of twenty-five, would set sail for unclaimed land in a ship called The Vitaso. Having met a native from Corta Village two years prior, he hoped to find the village and begin his conquest there. When he and his crew arrived in the village, he influenced the natives to follow him and commanded the local native tribes, as well as his crew, to build a city now known as Etherset. He promised the native tribes money and power in return, feeding on their desires but had no desire, himself, to fulfill his end of the deal. After the construction of the city, Agostinio murdered the leaders of the native tribes and forced the natives to work for him moving forward. From there, Agostinio set his sights on the small country known as Saintle Andne, which was governed by King William Lauzstanngo II. He befriended King William in 1781 and offered him the natives as slaves. However, the slaves were ordered beforehand to kill as many guards as he could while he would kill King William himself. While over half of the natives lives were lost, Agostinio found himself successful and declared his city of Etherset and the fallen country of Saintle Andne to be a new country called Vitaso, named after his ship.

The landscape in 1788 after Saintle Andne, Tevitanbu and Kallamar Island were conquered.

In 1783, Agostinio, who forced everybody over fourteen to become soldiers, declared war on the neighbouring country, Tevitanbu. After a rough five year war, Vitaso barely came out successful and merged Tevitanbu into Vitaso. King Bertrand of Kallamar Island, scared of Agostinio's power, offered his country in exchange for safety. Agostinio accepted then executed King Bertrand. About a year later, in 1789, his sights were set on the countries of Ablium, Llieviedo and Mudrouca who were at war over the unclaimed land beneath Ablium and Llieviedo. Once Llieviedo declared war on and conquered Ablium the following year, King Alexander and King Nuviado of Llieviedo formed a truce and, after four years of friendship, the two countries, now close, declared war on Mudrouca in 1894. Following an intense three year war, the two comrades were victorious and split the land between the two countries. Only seven months later, King Alexander would arrange an assassination that left Llieviedo without a leader. After much turmoil, Alexander would claim the land for himself and, while neighboring countries would threaten war if he did not cease his conquest, they soon backed off. As of 1801, the shape of the nation we know today, plus where the now-nations of Jyau and Nancaya are, were now part of the Kingdom of Vitaso.

In 1806, Soli Cardassio, a native, began to rebel within the walls of Etherset and, over the course of the next five years, turned the other natives and citizens against King Alexander. In 1811, after King Alexander had Cardassio executed, Bruno Saivas, another native, took over the role of leader of the rebellion and organized destruction and anarchy with the goal of avenging Soli Cardassio and killing the royal family. Most of the country were against the king and joined the rebellion out of spite and vengeance. The large-scale coup-de-tat was grueling and many lives were lost on both ends. In the last month, Queen Euphrasia, who was a former innkeeper named Euphrasia Forger-Dominetti, was relentlessly beaten and tortured by the king, having endured his wrath as he let out his aggression over the people turning on him. Ottoviano Madovera, an aide who was also an insider, came to the hideout where the royal family was staying after a series of hidden messages were passed back and forth, but lost his life in an attempt to save her. This led the queen to write one final message to members of the rebellion, purposefully giving away their location in the process. She also spoke of the aide and his bravery and asked any who would read the letter to cherish the life he had and bring an end to the king. Having been killed by the king later that night, the message was still able to reach the rebellion, leading to the king and his children being slain, ending his conquest and leaving the nation without a leader.

Remember me as Euphrasia Forger-Dominetti and not as the queen of a tyrant.

— The last line in Euphrasia's letter to the rebellion before her death.

A New Democracy

With the country leaderless, Bruno Saivas took on the role in 1812. One of the first things the new king did was rename Kallamar Island to Maydover Island in commemoration of Ottoviano Madovera, one of King Alexander's aides who was revealed to have been an insider for the rebellion and was one of the last people personally killed by the former king himself. Another reason for the island's name change was due to it being the birthplace of the late king as well as King Bertrand's cowardice. Bruno Saivas felt like a new beginning for the island was the best way for it to move forward. Following that, he declared that the country would establish itself to be a democracy as opposed to a monarchy, choosing to give himself the title of Prime Minister, which he was inspired to do by other countries. Only four months later, he decided to change the name of the nation from Vitaso to Vitosium. In Corta Village, the language spoken, Audani, had three words that resonated with Saivas. Those words were vitoas (life), tosial (peace) and sumapadi (paradise). As such, he decided to combine all three words to make Vitosium (vito-si-um).

Two years later, in 1814, he established the Estate of Commons and began work on the country's constitution with the help of Adam Bassett-Michael, Augustino Fioganati, Bertram Albarate, Mariano Brewys-Vigo, Matthew Nysell and Montgomery Albirio, who would all sign it in a monumental ceremony in 1815.

In 1838, a military conflict known as the Pia Peninsular War occurred from July 1838 to September 1939 between Vitosium and Kuresa. The war itself strained tensions between the east and west of Vitosium, leading to many parts of the country wanting to distance the country's future away from future wars. The mindset, ironically, eventually culminated in the 1844 Vitosium Civil War.

In 1844, an organization formed with a mission to distance the country from Alexander Agostinio's legacy. While the natives took back the country, the organization, known as The New Capital Society did not want Etherset as the capital city as that was the city Agostinio made. Protests and riots stemming from The New Capital Society lead to the Prime Minister at the time, William Cimantal, to try and negotiate with them. The ongoing conflict lead the country to be divided between whether the capital city should be Etherset or Colburn. Eventually, the divide grew violent and a civil war broke out. The war lasted four years and, in 1848, The New Capital Society was victorious, Colburn (later renamed Gatovita) became the new capital city, and Cimantal resigned from office.

In 1917, Jyau and Nancaya, two provinces in Vitosium located to the west of the province of Ventden, requested secession from Vitosium. The two provinces, who were once kingdoms conquered by King Alexander, were intent on independence with the majority of the population wishing for a peaceful separation. However, extremists on the side of then-appointed Governor of Jyau, Peter Semmens, formed rebel cells that attacked Vitosium military outposts and checkpoints as well as sabotaging convoys and factories and creating general chaos specifically in the population centers of the country. This lead to Prime Minister Rudolph Raymond relieving Semmens of his governship, blaming him for the attacks.

In 1919, the provinces of Jyau and Nancaya were granted autonomy after the referendum passed in the Parliament of Vitosium. Prime Minister Raymond signed the Hickling Act, which solidified Jyau and Nancaya's independence.

On April 18th, 2008, John Longetti led his cult to kill around 5820 people in Sassarta, Vondera before manipulating the cult to kill themselves to avoid capture by the police. This event led to many denouncing their religion due to event taking the lives of 13 000 with many blaming religion for what transpired.

From 2014 to 2018, former Prime Minister Raymond Venancias' carelessness led to a near economic shut down and dangers to the country's environment, leading to many protests and riots calling for Venancias' resignation. Vincent Gatostico, the son of former Prime Minister, Apollo Gatostico, would win against Venancias in the 2018 Vitosium Election and begin to restore the economy to what it was.

Geography

Only 12% of Vitosium is mountainous and 9% of that is located in the province of Ventden. Mount Maitland makes up that 9% in Ventden. National parks cover about 15% of the country.

Climate

Annual average rainfall in the mainland varies from just over 3,200 mm.

In some areas, such as Cunzava, annual diurnal average temperatures can be as high as 34 °C, and summer highest temperatures routinely are over 42 °C. The record high of 49.4 °C was recorded in Amalfeia, although this might not be the hottest spot in summer, according to satellite readings.

Vitosium has around 2300 to 3200 hours of sunshine a year, an average of 4–6 h in winter and 10–12 h in the summer, with higher values in the south-east and lower in the north-west.

Biodiversity

Boar, red deer, roe deer, and the Vitosian velvet panther, are reported to have expanded greatly during recent decades.

These natural environments are shaped by diverse flora and include widespread species of pine and Vitosian oak. There are 57,000 species recorded of faunal biodiversity.

Most of the avian species congregate along the Pia Peninsula.

Demographics

Religion

Due to King Alexander Agostinio, Catholicism was adopted into the cultures of Vitaso, now Vitosium. On top of that, Tevitanbu, a nation conquered by King Alexander, also heavily practiced Catholicism. However, most of the nation went agnostic or atheist after the Johnville Massacre.

Language

Members of the nation speak English, Portuguese and Italian. This is due to the countries conquered by King Alexander as the nations spoke at least one of those. Now, it is common for a Vitosian to speak English and know Portuguese and Italian or even be very fluent in all three.

Provinces

The seventeen provinces of Vitosium.

There are seventeen official provinces of Vitosium. While there were nineteen, Jyau and Nancaya got their independence in 1919 thanks to the Hicking Act. Each province has their own capital city, which is a municipality holding primary status in a department, country, state, province, or other administrative region, usually as its seat of the government. Some other cities, however, are considered capitals in their own way, such as the "beer capital" or even the "breakfast capital" due to their legacy to the public. While these are not official capital cities, those nicknames are mainly for jest.
