Potenzian Commonwealth of Nations
Geography and History: Tuscana's history is intertwined with the rise of the House of Medici, a family that ascended to political power by controlling the region's banks and wealth. Through shrewd alliances and strategic investments, they secured the backing of The Imperio of Potenzia, resulting in Tuscana's proclamation as a sovereign state. This alliance with Potenzia not only ensured military protection but also fostered a lasting bond based on shared values, culture, and economic prosperity.

The Principality of Balearica are a group of islands off the eastern coast of Potenzia. This archipelago is known for its heavenly beaches and coves, scenic coastlines, charming cities, and year round warm climate. The Islands of Balearica are a popular tourist destination for the Kingdom as a whole, attracting thousands of visitors annually. Balearica became part of The Imperio of Potenzia through the the marriage of King Thomas XII & Queen Marcia, under the Treaty of Union. |
Geography: History: In the 2010s, Larsai entered into a political union with the Potenzian Kingdom. This was largely due to the marriage of Grand Duke Keeth of Larsai and Princess Carolina of Potenzia, who gave birth to Princess Kaia in 2014. Since then, Larsai has become an official part of the Potenzian Kingdom and has seen increased investment and development. Culture: Tourism: |
Potenzia’s colonization of this newly discovered virgin land has been backed by three main goals; shifting the excess population of Potenzia to the colonies and giving settlers greater opportunities for success, discovering new resources, & making money, especially through timber woodchipping & mining. While the land originally appeared to be uninhabited, the settlers encountered natives as the colony began expanding north. The settlers were able to form positive relationships and integrate peacefully with the natives, bringing new opportunities, industry, goods, services and wealth to the lands. Years later, Potenzian Prime Minister Alan Bennett, the President of the United States, and the Governors of California and Nevada sign the Calivada Purchase Treaty, in which the US agrees to cede control of California and Nevada to The Imperio of Potenzia as part of The Viceroyalty of New Leon. In return, Potenzia agrees to pay 4 trillion Liberos to the United States and agrees to the condition that the Viceroy, or Governor, of New Leon will be a native-born citizen of the former California or Nevada territory. nation=new_potenzia/detail=factbook/id=1586218 With the dissolution of the Erimean goverment, international trade and shipping began to experience a negative impact, mainly due to instability surrounding the Panama Canal. In order to ensure economic stability and ensure that international trade runs smoothly throughout the Americas, The Imperio of Potenzia signed a Royal Decree to take control of the areas surrounding the canal. The former Erimean territories between Mexico & Panama then became maintained and operated by the New Leon. New Leon eventually sent military personnel to investigate the ports along the Mexican coastline. This investigation uncovered that high-level government officials had been involved with the international trafficking of illegal drugs, weapons, and humans. The Parliament of Potenzia, the Crown, & the Viceroyalty of New Leon later met to discuss the annexation of Mexico and Erimea as a solution to border issues, trafficking, and government corruption. |
Motto: Kęstelinule Ljurĕluse Population: 74,688,130 Capital: Velul Turanŏ Official Languages: Sulare, Oruzian, Aplaž Government: Legislature: Parliament Establishment: Land Area: 2,760,508 km² Elevation GDP (nominal): $12,032,800,000,000.00 Human Development Index (NS Version): 89.71 Currency: Libero Time Zone: General Sula Time (GST), East Blackarcrian Time (EBT) Drives on the: Right Calling code: +42 Internet TLD: .sul Overview Sulasburg is a country in The Liberal Democratic Union. Its nine constituent nations extend from the Nordsula to the Maxtopian and southward into the Madri Ocean, covering 2,760,508 km². It has only one land border, as the territory of Ardiel is actually located in northestern Blackacre. Sulasburg's capital is Démienne, and its three largest metropolitan areas are Démienne, Daliena and Hiruko. Most of Sulasburg is mountainous, with the mountains reaching right up to the sea in many places. Where they do, it results in fjords, while the places without such mountains consist of fertile coastal plains. All types of coastline are lined with beaches. Living within this landscape are 688,130,057 Sulas, most of whom reside in the incredibly dense coastal cities. The climate is reasonable mild along the coast, but the mountains and some of the higher valleys experience near-arctic conditions during the winter. The warmest area of Sulasburg is Alcañada, which has a subtropical climate. Human habitation in Sulasburg began around 17,000 BCE, when a land bridge connected Maxtopia and Alcañada. Several disconnected family groups crossed over, creating a nomadic lifestyle that involved following the migration of Suffalo herds. After a few thousand years, the tribes formed basic nation-states, ushering a period of peace that was shattered by a Floopinstani invasion in 7 BCE. The Floopinstanis ruled the nation ruthlessly for 321 years. They were eventually overthrown by King Sula The Great, after whom the country is named. He founded an empire, the first to cover all of the Sula isles, which collapsed almost immediately. During the ensuing thousand years, the nine nations that typify modern Sulasburg were formed. There was almost constant infighting, and it was only by the year 1600 CE that the Sula Kingdom emerged as the dominant political player. The 1673 Treaty of Daliena established a series of guidelines for international conduct within the isles, and a period of peace set in. A Blackacrian invasion in 1803, though it shattered the peace, united the Sula kingdoms for the first time in over 1,500 years. Slowly, the other nations joined Sula, and by 1870, when Kyrōheiji emerged from the Boshin War and ceded themselves to the Royal Novemarchy, modern Sulasburg was formed. The country declared itself neutral, and, over the next century, experienced a recession, changed from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy, and cultivated a reputation for liberal policy and environmental beauty. In 1963, Queen Margaret III issued the Sixteenth Governmental Amendment, which officially abolished all monarchical power in the nations. The Monarchy was replaced by a 249-member parliament, and, along with the subordinate Royal Council, takes a purely nominal role. The MPs are elected from each of the nine constituent nations: Kyrōheiji, Sula, Andouenne, Senbourg, Valkenburg, Cénace, Vineré, Alcañada and Grién Since that milestone event, Sulasburg has thrived. The economy climbed back from the brink, the environment has been successfully maintained, civil liberties have been championed, democracy has taken charge, and Sula happiness increased exponentially. The country ranks very highly on the HDI, being in the top 13 percent. Sulasburg is a peaceful nation, with one of the smallest regional armed forces, and peace, pacifism and acceptance are a large part of Sula foreign policy. The country has recently emerged into regional affairs, being elected to the Cabinet as home secretary and joining many international organisations: the International Defence Force, the Free Trade Organisation, and the Climate Pact. It was also one of two founding members of LDUESCO. Etymology The name 'Sulasburg' is thought to be a corruption of the name 'Sulasinbourg', meaning 'Sula's City' in Old Sulasien. Sulasinbourg was the capital city founded by King Sula The Great in 315 CE. Many outsiders referred to the nation with that name, and, after the 16th Governmental Amendment of 1963, the former Sula Confederated States were renamed Sulasburg. |
03/2024 — Following extensive, secretive and some public tests, the Potenzian Space Agency has announced plans to develop a base on the moon within the next few years. Supplies and crew are currently orbiting the moon in the recently constructed, “León-Luna Station” where they are expected to be the establishment of the base. Initial efforts will host scientists and engineers, followed by phase two, which will allow trained/vetted citizens to begin habitation of the moon. Many politicians and space advocates have expressed excitement for such events, while critics have urged the government to focus upon Earth as international conflicts continue to boil. 09/2025 — Across the Lunar orbit, rockets and pods full of equipment and personnel have begun to make their journey toward the moon, aiming at various craters and locations that would soon become Potenzian settlements. Eventual landings would all be successful, except for one supply pod that has landed further away from its target. Back at the PSA control room, loud cheering erupted following the crew’s communications confirming their landings. 10/2025 — Back on the Moon, the construction of a ‘dome village’ where the crews will live and sleep was underway along with solar panels, lighting and a nuclear fission reactor with long-lasting energy. Days later, the construction of the first Potenzian Lunar settlement, Valles Lunares, would be announced to the public, watched by billions globally. 12/2025 — With the establishment of Valles Lunares and various other settlements on the Moon, the region’s private aeronautic and space industries have seen a major economic boom with companies like Randian Star Company and Potenzian company, Nebula Corporation, tripling in value and bringing NebCo’s CEO, Alexander Cross, to be the region’s first trillionaire. With government permission, private companies are now expected to begin mining operations throughout areas of Valles Lunares. Hundreds of more satellites are to be launched into the Moon and Earth’s orbits to allow for refuelling, connection to the moon and cargo storage. 06/2031 — The transmission channel crackles with static as the distress call from Valles lunares, one of the last remaining lunar colonies, begins: Attention all vessels, this is Valles Lunares. We... [static]... distress call and require immediate assistance. Our colony has... [static]...experiencing a catastrophic event and... [static]...primary communication systems are down. Repeat, our primary communication systems are down. There's a pause as more static interrupts the message: We have... [static]...unable to contact any nearby facilities and our resources... [static]... quickly depleting. We are in urgent need of... [static]...and require evacuation as soon as possible. I repeat, we need assistance and evacuation. More static interferes with the message: Our life support systems are... [static]...down and we are experiencing extreme... [static]...situations. We have... [static]...emergency protocols and are doing everything we can to... [static]...but we need help. Please respond if you are receiving this message. The transmission ends with one final burst of static, leaving the listener unsure of the fate of the Potenzian lunar colony and the people who call it home. 11/2038 — As we approach the end of 2038, the Potenzian Space Agency (PSA) stands at a pivotal moment in history, fueled by a renewed sense of purpose and vision. The discovery of enerite in the Sahara Desert has not only reshaped our terrestrial ambitions but has reignited our lunar aspirations through the revival of the Artemis Program. In light of enerite's transformative potential, The Imperio of Potenzia has recognized the need to harness this newfound resource to propel our space exploration endeavors further. The Artemis Program, once dormant, is now set to experience a revival, with the aim of utilizing this newfound resource as a catalyst for sustainable lunar colonization and resource utilization. The PSA, in collaboration with authorities, has officially greenlit the Artemis Revival Program. The mission objectives are twofold: first, to establish a sustainable lunar colony powered by enerite, and second, to explore the untapped lunar resources for potential extraction and utilization. Cutting-edge enerite-powered spacecraft will be at the forefront of this revival, ensuring that our lunar missions are not only sustainable but also economically viable. The Artemis spacecraft will be equipped with advanced life support systems, energy-efficient technologies, and mining equipment tailored for lunar conditions. Other: Vantier |
The former South American colonies had a history of purchasing slaves from Vantier and the East china company. In an effort to put an end to this practice, The Imperio of Potenzia deployed soldiers to the Brazilian coast, gaining control of several port cities. All slave ships and aircraft carrying slaves to South America were confiscated, and the freed individuals were provided with refuge. During the initial months of these operations, the military of New Leon and the coast guard successfully rescued over 100,000 slaves from Vantier (VSC) and the East China Company (ECC). Notably, ECC not only sold slaves to Vantier but also engaged in breeding them. Potenzian forces intercepted numerous shipments, with many refugees arriving pregnant. As the refugee population in South America grew, Potenzia established refuge communities along the coasts. All refugees were granted asylum, and those born in Potenzian-American colonies were granted Potenzian citizenship. Slave traders who were apprehended were sent to maximum-security prisons to await trial. South America became a sanctuary for countless former Asian and African slaves. By halting the slave trade between the "old colonies" in South America and notorious slave companies, Potenzia offered these individuals newfound freedom and a place to call home. Potenzia introduced local economies in these settlements, utilizing a new currency informally known as the "liberty dollar," which is accepted within Potenzian colonial territories of South America. This initiative has facilitated job creation and the growth of local businesses, enabling settlers to earn and spend their currency as they see fit. Many of these settlement communities have achieved self-sustainability, boasting schools, farms, hospitals, production centers, and thriving local businesses. As the population continues to burgeon in these areas, some settlers have started to migrate away from the coasts. Reports have emerged of encounters with native populations and tribes residing in the vicinity of the Amazon rainforest. While the Potenzian government has yet to establish official contact with these native groups, they are committed to fostering peaceful relations and avoiding conflicts. |
