Etymology
The country of San Giorgio was named after Saint George. Also known as Joris of Lukia, 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. Because of his inextinguishable faith, Saint George went on to become one of the most revered Christian saints, especially in military circles.
The actual name “George” comes from γεωργός (geōrgós). This means “earth worker” or “farmer”. It is a combination of γῆ (gê, “earth”) and ἔργον (érgon, “work”). This name was evidently quite common in the rural areas of Occidental antiquity.

History
WIP
- (Something about the first Azano-Marenesian settlers. Look at nearby countries such as Ayubi, Damak Var and Bainbridge Islands. Also include the historic Chulo Empire.)
- San Giorgio is an ex-Mantellan colony on the western side of the island of Saint George.[1]
- 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.
- With no heirs, San Giorgio transitioned into a republic. However, the old aristocratic plantation families (Barbato, Meduici, and Salvadori) remained incredibly powerful.
Politics
Government
Every 5 years is a general election for the Presidency.
WIP. List of presidents, as hinted elsewhere. Must have elections every 5 years. Must also count the correct number of members from each political family. Include D'Aprile who didn't finish her second term. After running the maths, this proposal seems to fit the proposed lore.

- Mr $Firstname Mediuci (1932-1947; reelected)
- Mr $Firstname Barbato (1947-1962; three terms because of global conflicts; term limits established)
- Mr $Firstname Salvadori (1962-1972; reelected)

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.
