Venetia (French: Vennisseaux), officially the Principality of Venetia (French: Principauté de Vennisseaux) is a country located Eracura in Tyran. It is bordered to the north and east by Acrea. Together with Acrean Venetia, it comprises French Eracura, also known simply as Venetia. The Venetian Principality is unique in Tyran in that it is a confederation. Composed of the four constituent duchies of Tessin, Vallon, Cahors, and Arconnay, it remains a Principality due to the retention of the title of Prince as the head of state, whom is voted into office from among noble candidates by the executive council.
For most of its history, the Venetian Principality was a part of Greater Acrea. It first came under Acrean control in the first centuries of the Acrean Empire, previously having been settled by Latin-speaking peoples from the Sabrian Empire who settled in Eracura. Following Acrean integration of Venetia into the Empire, the population became mixed with both Nordic and Latin peoples. The modern borders of the Venetian Principality were first established in 1502, when Venetia was divided between east (Vennesmark) and west (Venniseaux). The Venetian Principality gained its independence in 1964, after a referendum on independene passed with a margin of 61% to 39%. The independence ceremony was held in the Principality capital of Cabourg. Today, the Principality is a well-developed minor power. It retains close ties both politically and economically to Acrea. Acrea is responsible for the Principality's defence, and as a result the Principality maintains only a small army and large gendarmerie.
