<br />
As we move to a new age in OGF where we seek a more collaborative world history, we need to finally discuss about the "Romantish Empire". As we all should know, we have an equivalent to the Roman Empire, however, with no official decision being made, the name, extension and duration of the empire was never defined, this creates a few issues. With no limitations, the Empire can have been as large or small as we wish, as long as territories decided to include the empire in their history, so we should set in stone it's general extension. <br />
<br />
In this Forum, we will define:<br />
* The Extent of the Empire<br />
* The Name of the Empire<br />
* The Capital of the Empire<br />
<br />
What is discussed here comes from long threads from Discord that will be shortened, since no consensus has been made.<br />
<br />
* Empire Extension:<br />
<br />
Through discussion, I have brought a proposal for the extent of the Empire, during it's history, the Empire would most probably have large issues of movement of troops, limiting it's extension. The empire would border the Prettanic Lake and The Great Rift in the North, the Surian Plains in the East, the Sea and "Indian" to the South and a messy border to the West. The issue of geographic barries would create a few important policies for the empire, like, most probably the creating of multiple client states and outer provinces of the empire with more self-authority to allow a better control of the politics inside the land.<br />
Romantish Sathria, the Original Hellenisian land, some Kalmish Kingdoms and the "Phoenicians" would most probably be dominated by the Empire but given a type of sel-authority so that local elites would be less willing to revolt.<br />
<br />
Ta Seti, though it would be heavily influenced by Hellenisian culture, the Romantish would not be able to reach as far as Ta Seti.<br />

<br />
Here I request, if you have any other proposals or ideas on this, please contribute.<br />
<br />
* Empire's Name:<br />
<br />
We must change the name of the Romantish Empire, using Rome in any type of way is counter active to our attempt to distance this empire from the Roman one. So I request contributions to a name, after that we will discuss and most probably vote. The Roman Empire was named by historians because of the influence of one city on the entire empire, and since we are trying to move from that comparison, we should not name the empire after a city. That being said, here follows my proposals.<br />
<br />
- Nostro Empire (Coming from the Latin Nostro Imperium, or Our Empire, most likely the coloquial name that citizens would call the empire, since Nostro Mare was the roman name for the Mediterrenean, it wouldn't be so far fetched that the coloquial name of the empire would carry over through history).<br />
- Triaum Empire (Reipublicae Popularis Triaum, Popular Republic of Tria, would be the official name of the Empire, but instead of being named after a city, it would be named after a people, the Tria people, even thought Tria means Three, we can consider the Tria a mithological name, maybe after three goddesses, family members or anything related to the number 3, I think Triaum is a nice name.<br />
<br />
* Capital of the Empire:<br />
<br />
There has been a long discussion of Osianopoli not being the empire's capital. So I propose an idea, Osianopoli WAS the original capital, but contrary to the Roman Empire, here, the city was not needed to be the centre of power. The Popular Capital, where most things go, where holidays are celebrated, where victories are celebrated would be Osianopoli, however, during the growth of the empire, the political capital would be moved to a more centralized area. Here are my proposals:<br />
<br />
- Triaum Urbs Imperial/ Triaumpolis Imperial / Triaum Imperial (Named after the empire itself if the empire is to be named Triaum, it would probably in the coast along UL08e, UL08b, UL08e, Etoe in Sathriada, Mitras or Northern Castellán, however I would like to avoid putting the capital in the territory of a current owned territory).<br />
- Civitelle (It would have been moved there, meaning in Italian, just, small city, it would probably show how the political capital is smaller than the historical capital)<br />
<br />
We could also have the political capital be in an unknown place, maybe locations have been proposed but not archeological evidence was able to fully prove that one specific place was the capital.<br />
<br />
I ask of all of you your ideas so we can finally settle this issue. {{Unsigned|Davieerr}}<br />
<br />
==Ideas==<br />
===Extent of the Empire===<br />
I would like to see the empire extend further north to include Tircambry (and UL10-98 & 99) because there are a lot of Latin-origin words and placename elements in Welsh (OGF Cambric) which date from the Roman occupation. A number of common English placename elements also have Latin origins from this era, either directly or via Brittonic (pre-Welsh), e.g. ...cester, ...chester, ...port... , so I'm not sure it makes sense to exclude Ingerland either. This creates an empire which is much bigger than the Roman Empire but still smaller than some other pre-industrial empires (Mongul, Chinese, Islamic), so would it be unrealistic?

:This is how I imagine the Romantian Empire to have looked like: https://imgur.com/r5XR7ew<br />

:darker red: empire proper; lighter: dependencies; ellipse: area for possible imperial capital --[[User:Stjur|Stjur]] ([[User talk:Stjur|talk]]) 13:20, 24 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
::Personally, I think I prefer this sketch of the empire's extent. The OGF:Roman Empire having less influence over Turquan Uletha could perhaps aid in explaining why there is a very abrupt cultural border between Romance and Turquan cultures in our world. A "French Rome" could be an interesting way to reimagine the potential capital of Franqueterre. As for the role of Osianopoli within this version of the empire, it could have been an important city for maritime trade rather than political power in the empire. Alternatively, if we imagine our Roman Empire got divided much like its real life counterpart, perhaps Osianopoli became the seat of power for one of the empire's more notable successor states? --[[User:Timboh|Timboh]] ([[User talk:Timboh|talk]]) 19:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
:::While I have other thoughts about the Empire I'll write up here soon (hopefully), I just want to say that I agree that a historic capital in Franqueterre would be ideal in my opinion, and would remove the empire further from IRL:Rome (and I don't think Osianopoli has necessarily been mapped as a historic capital). I also don't think a division between a political/popular capital makes sense as Davi has proposed, while classics isn't my area of expertise it's my understanding that Rome depended on the city being the centre for everything --- having a geographic disconnect between the political elite and the popular public I don't think would have gone over well. --[[User:Lithium|Lithium-Ion]] | [https://opengeofiction.net/user/Lithium-Ion|OGF] ([[User talk:Lithium|talk]]) 02:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
::::This might be a bit outside the scope of the discussion, but I do think a Roman capital in Franqueterre would be a creative way to give Franqueterre a notable capital without simply reiterating Paris. We can still take ideas from French urbanism, but with a strong influence from ancient Roman architecture and landmarks like what you might find in central Italian cities. I think the synthesis of these two high concepts could be a quite compelling base for a more unique Franqueterre, not just for its capital but its spatial development in general. I don't think this has to diminish Roman influence in Plevian urbanism either - Roman urbanism and engineering spread far and wide in the real world, so I see no reason why it couldn't in our world either. If that isn't enough to support Plevia's history, perhaps at the decline of the empire it was the provinces in Plevia that styled themselves as the successors of the empire, while the "core" in Franqueterre developed in a different direction and adopted the influences that eventually lead to a distinct Franquese culture. I am by no means knowledgable in Roman history so I don't know what cultural developments are plausible, but I hope some of these ideas might contribute to the discussion. --[[User:Timboh|Timboh]] ([[User talk:Timboh|talk]]) 18:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
::I think Stjur's ideas would work, but I think that the territories should be continuous. [[User:Imperator|Imperator]] ([[User talk:Imperator|talk]]) 22:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Stjur and Pawl, thank you for your contributions, I was wondering about the size of things, however, expanding the empire north to Tircambry AND Ingerland makes it too large for the general size of nations at the time, my counter proposal would be to consider a population shift of celtic and germanic populations, allowing for germanic/celtic populations that had been influenced by latin to move north and west, this would also allow Sathriada and other nations that seem to be really far from latin influence to survive in smaller forms. <br />OGF:Roman Empire should have latin influence, since places like Qennes and Malesoria, so I believe that at least northern parts of turquan lands should be under romantish control. Only if we consider the Hellenisian influence to be continued after the fall of the rest of the hellenisian sphere of influence, with maybe a few powerful romantish families moving into the enitities that were created after, instead of having romantish conquer so east. Again, I believe that the original seat of power MUST be in Plevia, the latin language would not create italian if there was another original language there, it would be a conglang, if we are not going to consider that, than I at least suggest that the original people that created the empire are from the coastal plevian region. Maybe we can consider that Franqueterre had a powerfull city that once was conquered became the official capital of the romantish empire. {{Unsigned|Davieerr}}<br />
:I cant fully agree with you on these points, I personally believe the extent of the empire is not an issue given the current cultural landscape of the continent; Regarding Malesoria and particularly Qennes, according to history segments on the wiki the Romantish cultural elements only appeared later, stemming from colonization under Garlis - of course this can be changed but it doesnt have to; While I do understand your reasoning as to why the Romantian capital has to be in Plevia, I dont think its that relevant, especially if the Romantian Empire has fallen under neighboring non-Romantian cultures at some point (scenario which seems instinctively reasonable to me, and didnt ever really happen this way with Rome - "conquering cultures" adapted to the Roman culture instead of thr other way around, while in Byzantium for ex relevant cultural aspects such as language and religion have been changed according to the "conquering cultures"). I think things dont have to be simplified in order for them to have possibly worked, history can be complex. I also think being that loyal to the Romantian/Roman parallel is not necessarily the best approach --[[User:Stjur|Stjur]] ([[User talk:Stjur|talk]]) 08:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
:I would then, justify having Romantian/Roman influence over at the border of Tircambry, and Ingerland, while also having the region of Qennes and Malesoria be client states rather than part of the empire, but I would keep, even if with no history, western sathriada independent. Yes, things do get complicated, and the capital can be anywhere in he region, yet, my point still stands tha a capital that far into the mediterrenean sea would have a difficulty reaching outer regions, even if the location would be more centralized geographically, so maybe that is a better justification. 15:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Davieerr<br />
::Speaking as a regional admin, it is important that the empire have actual control and not just client state control over areas like Tircambry and southeastern Ingerland just as much as it would Malesoria and points south of Castellan. We do not have to work out all the details of how something got this big, and they didn't all have to be in the empire at the same time. The point is that there are cultures on the map that are just not going to move and have to be accommodated. Yes, we're stretching the limits a bit, but this is the price we're going to have to pay to work out a common history a bit more. &mdash; [[User:Alessa|Alessa]] <sub>([[User talk:Alessa|talk]])</sub> 16:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
:::@Alessa sorry to ask, but why Malesoria? --[[User:Stjur|Stjur]] ([[User talk:Stjur|talk]]) 22:00, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
::::No problem to ask. It is my understanding that Malesoria is using an Albanian theme. Perhaps I'm incorrect on that, so please let me know if I am misunderstanding. If it is using an Albanian theme, there would need to be some type of Roman input to help shape the language and culture. This would account for systems of settlement and numerous words in the language that cannot be explained away as later learned forms. Now, to be clear, I do not think having the empire reach over to Malesoria needs to be a long, drawn-out affair. It could have been ''very, very'' brief. I'm simply saying that the Malesorian culture needs to have intersected (not just interacted) with the empire to account for the much higher post-Roman input than people often realize. &mdash; [[User:Alessa|Alessa]] <sub>([[User talk:Alessa|talk]])</sub> 17:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
:::::I initially wanted to refrain from this discussion until it becomes somewhat fruitful. But speaking of Erez Gulf region (Malesoria, northwest, Demirhan, Qennes, Niscavo and a bit of Antharia) I think history of Niscavo is key factor here. Now it's all blank but I remember taking historical basis for Ardeşehir, as well as naming settlements in the region from the old wikipage of Niscavo. If I remembert things correctly Niscavo was established in the antiquity by Eganian/Hellanesian colonisers, later was independent, joined Egani, independent again etc. Given that I assumed heavy Hellanesian influence in the region (that's why Almıros is called Almıros, it means ''salt'' in Greek). Given that Greek influence is (or used to be because I have no idea if it is still valid version of history) crucial for the region, I don't think Roman(tian) Empire would have to stretch as far as here as these Greeks are used as a substitute for Romans and Byzantines. But on the other hand both Greek and Roman cultures can intertwin in various ways, just like they did in the real world so such extent of (not)Romantish Empire is possible with recognition of the fact that region was more Greek than Roman (Latin). [[User:Rustem Pasha|Rustem Pasha]] ([[User talk:Rustem Pasha|talk]]) 18:38, 26 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
::Also speaking as an admin here: one way to counter balance this would be to include as little of Sathria as possible. We would need to include some for sure just to make the empire make sense. But, let's try to keep it minimalistic. &mdash; [[User:Alessa|Alessa]] <sub>([[User talk:Alessa|talk]])</sub> 16:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />

::::To be clear, I agree with that statement, but my concern is to not include much of Sathria into the empire. My suggestion is to have the empire take over as little of Sathria as possible. &mdash; [[User:Alessa|Alessa]] <sub>([[User talk:Alessa|talk]])</sub> 17:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)<br />

===Name for the Sea===<br />
@[[User:Davieerr|Davieerr]] ([[User talk:Davieerr|talk]]), Mare and Imperium are neuter in Latin, you would have Mare Nostrum and Imperium Nostrum (for nominative). For the sea, I would suggest using a stem that relates to its southern location when looked from Osianopoli (Osianople in ''Ingerish''?), either as such or alludes to it: something based on the notion of light/bright, red/white or warmth as some languages do. What about '''Mesembric Sea''' based on μεσημβρία/mesembría (Ancient Greek for midday or south while Modern Greek uses νότος/nόtos for south)? You would have Mar Mesémbrico, Mare Mesembrico or Mer Mésembrique in some of the languages now bordering that sea. --[[User:Aiki|Aiki]] ([[User talk:Aiki|talk]]) 18:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
:I've always wanted to change the name of the Mediterranean Sea on OGF, so I am very happy to see this finally being discussed. The Mesembric Sea is a nice name I think. Seeing as there likely aren't any Greek-speaking territories bordering the sea, where would the Ancient Greek name have come from? Hellanesian/Eganian settlers predating the OGF:Roman Empire? --[[User:Timboh|Timboh]] ([[User talk:Timboh|talk]]) 19:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC) <br />
::Concerning Aiki's suggestion and Timboh's reponse: If Latin is preferred, Meridian Sea can be used instead with the same meaning. [[User:Imperator|Imperator]] ([[User talk:Imperator|talk]]) 22:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
:::I really like Mesembric Sea as a name option. We could have it so Ancient Greeks were quite influential and a scholarly source of information in ancient times and explain why their naming preference of things took precedence? --[[User:Arlo|Arlo]] ([[User talk:Arlo|talk]]) 00:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
::::Ancient Hellenisia is quite influencial, and the Mesembric Sea is a great alternative to using Mediterrenean for a region with similar cultural influences, considering that the Hellenisians would see the entire sea "south" of them. {{Unsigned|Davieerr}}<br />
<br />
As admin, I am simply going to state that if there is enough desire on this particular issue, I will gladly fork this conversation into its own separate forum entry. There, we can discuss greater detail about the naming (including other languages for those that may wish to use a different nomenclature) and hold an official vote to make a new name canon. &mdash; [[User:Alessa|Alessa]] <sub>([[User talk:Alessa|talk]])</sub> 02:31, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />

=== Name for the Empire ===<br />
:Just adding some corrections regarding the Latin used. Reipublicae Popularis Triaum > Res Publica Popularis "Triadina" (adj for name of Empire) Tria - Trias Given the points mentioned *The Extent of the Empire - *The Name of the Empire - I think the idea for the name as proposed works. Imperium Nostrum can work. If we take trias (triad) as a base there are many options, given the declension (https://www.latin-is-simple.com/en/vocabulary/noun/16656/) a triad root may seem most reasonable. <br />
:So perhaps Triadine Empire from Imperium Triadinum. Other options from the adjective would be: -ānus, -ēnus, -iānus, -ūnus or -(i)ensis. Another option is using the nominative to form triassic: Triassic Empire - Imperium Triassicum. *City, I would personally prefer using an existing city as Temisa or Costa or maybe even Rivador. It doesn't have to be a very large city as cities can be abandoned. {{Unsigned|Imperator}}<br />
<br />
::I think Triaum is a great name and offers for some cool religious/cultural development regarding the "triad/three" element. --[[User:Arlo|Arlo]] ([[User talk:Arlo|talk]]) 00:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Imperator corrected some of my latin and I believe we should either have the original Latin name be Imperium Nostrum (Nostro Empire in English), Triaum Empire (Triadian Empire/Trassic Empire, in english), Res Publica Popularis Triae/Triadiana. While the official capital should move away from the 3-simbolism, to avoid the city being names Tripoli, a very common name.<br />
::: About location, Rivador, and Franqueterre in general are too inland for my taste, also, I doubt OGF:Rome would be abandoned, the thing is, most cities that were abandoned were rebuilt, just changed names because new languages and cultures came along, Ugarit didn't dissapear, it was rebuilt to what is nowdays Latakia, but its people and language changed, so we can consider the end of that chapter, since the continuity of the city was cut, same thing for Babylon, that had existed as the village of Babil up to the 1600's. But when talking about Rome, though the city was sacked multiple times, the level of civilizational advancement and lack of this pause in the city's history made for Rome to still have its existence preserved, even when the city lost most of its power. It still held simbolical value, so I doubt the city would have been abandoned. {{Unsigned|Davieerr}} <br />
::: Notice that Triae would mean that the name of the Empire/nation is Tria as Triae would be the genitive form of Tria. Triaum Empire is not possible as Triaum is not an adjective form, you could base an adjective on the genitive form which would be Triai - (Triaian Empire for example). [[User:Imperator|Imperator]] ([[User talk:Imperator|talk]]) 06:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />

:::::Glad these details about how the word would be used is being worked out. That said, please don't confuse the dialogue here with consensus as to the name of the empire.

::::::Yes, these things can move slowly, but that is fine in my opinion. We want the people in the region to have an input on this. It's important that this be a site-wide discussion (or, at least, WU and interested parties). So, the best way to prevent the discussion from dying out is to encourage people to get involved here. The primary reason things don't get decided is that people decline engagement. That said, if there is noticeable movement toward something, I'm happy to set up the vote and run it. If this is a topic you're particularly passionate about, I recommend messaging the major regional players to get them involved. I'd love to see some input here from a key regional people like Martinawa, Olejowy, Geo, Kalh79, Vay, Izaland, and Timboh (maybe I'm forgetting someone off the top of my head?); these issues (imperial capital location and naming of the sea) really impact them directly—even if that input is agreement. It doesn't have to be just comments to the contrary. If the regional stakeholders show that they're on board with going to a formal vote on things like the name of the sea, I'll start it immediately. &mdash; [[User:Alessa|Alessa]] <sub>([[User talk:Alessa|talk]])</sub> 17:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::::@Alessa, would it be possible to set up some votes for these name changes? I personally don't mind very much what the name is, as long as it is grammatically feasible and it is a bit removed from the earthly name. What would be the required number of voters to count as a "broad concensus"?<br />
::::Regarding this topic, are there other water bodies that require naming / renaming at the moment? [[User:Imperator|Imperator]] ([[User talk:Imperator|talk]]) 18:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
:::::At this point, it is hard to put a hard number on it, but I would like to see something approaching a two-thirds supermajority vote of a dozen or so people. It really depends on the topic. If we're talking about the name of the sea, and 90% of those on the sea like it but it barely receives 50% of the vote site-wide, it's going to win. If we're talking about the name of the empire, I'd like to see fifteen or so people voting on it, if not more. As for other bodies adjacent to the empire, I cannot think of too many other than maybe the name of straits or smaller gulfs attached to the mediterranean area. &mdash; [[User:Alessa|Alessa]] <sub>([[User talk:Alessa|talk]])</sub> 17:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)</div>Timbohhttps://wiki.opengeofiction.net/index.php?title=Forum:Global_and_regional_issues/History_of_Ancient_West_Uletha_and_North_Tarephia_-_Romantish_Empire&diff=23106Forum:Global and regional issues/History of Ancient West Uletha and North Tarephia - Romantish Empire2024-03-24T19:38:57Z<p>Timboh: Pitching in with ideas</p>

As we move to a new age in OGF where we seek a more collaborative world history, we need to finally discuss about the "Romantish Empire". As we all should know, we have an equivalent to the Roman Empire, however, with no official decision being made, the name, extension and duration of the empire was never defined, this creates a few issues. With no limitations, the Empire can have been as large or small as we wish, as long as territories decided to include the empire in their history, so we should set in stone it's general extension. <br />
<br />
In this Forum, we will define:<br />
* The Extent of the Empire<br />
* The Name of the Empire<br />
* The Capital of the Empire<br />
<br />
What is discussed here comes from long threads from Discord that will be shortened, since no consensus has been made.<br />
<br />
* Empire Extension:<br />
<br />
Through discussion, I have brought a proposal for the extent of the Empire, during it's history, the Empire would most probably have large issues of movement of troops, limiting it's extension. The empire would border the Prettanic Lake and The Great Rift in the North, the Surian Plains in the East, the Sea and "Indian" to the South and a messy border to the West. The issue of geographic barries would create a few important policies for the empire, like, most probably the creating of multiple client states and outer provinces of the empire with more self-authority to allow a better control of the politics inside the land.<br />

Ta Seti, though it would be heavily influenced by Hellenisian culture, the Romantish would not be able to reach as far as Ta Seti.<br />

Here I request, if you have any other proposals or ideas on this, please contribute.<br />
<br />
* Empire's Name:<br />
<br />
We must change the name of the Romantish Empire, using Rome in any type of way is counter active to our attempt to distance this empire from the Roman one. So I request contributions to a name, after that we will discuss and most probably vote. The Roman Empire was named by historians because of the influence of one city on the entire empire, and since we are trying to move from that comparison, we should not name the empire after a city. That being said, here follows my proposals.<br />
<br />
- Nostro Empire (Coming from the Latin Nostro Imperium, or Our Empire, most likely the coloquial name that citizens would call the empire, since Nostro Mare was the roman name for the Mediterrenean, it wouldn't be so far fetched that the coloquial name of the empire would carry over through history).<br />
- Triaum Empire (Reipublicae Popularis Triaum, Popular Republic of Tria, would be the official name of the Empire, but instead of being named after a city, it would be named after a people, the Tria people, even thought Tria means Three, we can consider the Tria a mithological name, maybe after three goddesses, family members or anything related to the number 3, I think Triaum is a nice name.<br />
<br />
* Capital of the Empire:<br />
<br />
There has been a long discussion of Osianopoli not being the empire's capital. So I propose an idea, Osianopoli WAS the original capital, but contrary to the Roman Empire, here, the city was not needed to be the centre of power. The Popular Capital, where most things go, where holidays are celebrated, where victories are celebrated would be Osianopoli, however, during the growth of the empire, the political capital would be moved to a more centralized area. Here are my proposals:<br />
<br />
- Triaum Urbs Imperial/ Triaumpolis Imperial / Triaum Imperial (Named after the empire itself if the empire is to be named Triaum, it would probably in the coast along UL08e, UL08b, UL08e, Etoe in Sathriada, Mitras or Northern Castellán, however I would like to avoid putting the capital in the territory of a current owned territory).<br />
- Civitelle (It would have been moved there, meaning in Italian, just, small city, it would probably show how the political capital is smaller than the historical capital)<br />
<br />
We could also have the political capital be in an unknown place, maybe locations have been proposed but not archeological evidence was able to fully prove that one specific place was the capital.<br />
<br />
<br />
I ask of all of you your ideas so we can finally settle this issue.<br />
<br />
==Ideas==<br />
===Extent of the Empire===<br />
:I would like to see the empire extend further north to include Tircambry (and UL10-98 & 99) because there are a lot of Latin-origin words and placename elements in Welsh (OGF Cambric) which date from the Roman occupation. A number of common English placename elements also have Latin origins from this era, either directly or via Brittonic (pre-Welsh), e.g. ...cester, ...chester, ...port... , so I'm not sure it makes sense to exclude Ingerland either. This creates an empire which is much bigger than the Roman Empire but still smaller than some other pre-industrial empires (Mongul, Chinese, Islamic), so would it be unrealistic?

::Personally, I think I prefer this sketch of the empire's extent. The OGF:Roman Empire having less influence over Turquan Uletha could perhaps aid in explaining why there is a very abrupt cultural border between Romance and Turquan cultures in our world. A "French Rome" could be an interesting way to reimagine the potential capital of Franqueterre. As for the role of Osianopoli within this version of the empire, it could have been an important city for maritime trade rather than political power in the empire. Alternatively, if we imagine our Roman Empire got divided much like its real life counterpart, perhaps Osianopoli became the seat of power for one of the empire's more notable successor states? --[[User:Timboh|Timboh]] ([[User talk:Timboh|talk]]) 19:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
<br />
===Name for the Sea===<br />
:@[[User:Davieerr|Davieerr]] ([[User talk:Davieerr|talk]]), Mare and Imperium are neuter in Latin, you would have Mare Nostrum and Imperium Nostrum (for nominative). For the sea, I would suggest using a stem that relates to its southern location when looked from Osianopoli (Osianople in ''Ingerish''?), either as such or alludes to it: something based on the notion of light/bright, red/white or warmth as some languages do. What about '''Mesembric Sea''' based on μεσημβρία/mesembría (Ancient Greek for midday or south while Modern Greek uses νότος/nόtos for south)? You would have Mar Mesémbrico, Mare Mesembrico or Mer Mésembrique in some of the languages now bordering that sea. --[[User:Aiki|Aiki]] ([[User talk:Aiki|talk]]) 18:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)<br />
::I've always wanted to change the name of the Mediterranean Sea on OGF, so I am very happy to see this finally being discussed. The Mesembric Sea is a nice name I think. Seeing as there likely aren't any Greek-speaking territories bordering the sea, where would the Ancient Greek name have come from? Hellanesian/Eganian settlers predating the OGF:Roman Empire? --[[User:Timboh|Timboh]] ([[User talk:Timboh|talk]]) 19:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)</div>Timbohhttps://wiki.opengeofiction.net/index.php?title=Association_of_South_Ulethan_Nations&diff=23057Association of South Ulethan Nations2024-03-23T14:49:07Z<p>Timboh: Fixed spelling and broken table</p>

The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones del Sur de Uleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formidable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN has had a significant impact on the spatial development of South Uletha. Many large infrastructure projects across the region have been funded either directly through ASUN or through one of its many plurilateral agreements. The South Uletha Monetary Fund (SUMF) acts as the organization's main source for funding projects within individual member states, while ASUN itself often facilitates funding for cross-border projects by gathering stakeholders and establishing cost-sharing schemes. Many of these cross-border projects have evolved into permanent programmes for cooperation within ASUN's MULTIREG (''Multinational Functional Regions'') framework, which aims to enhance cooperation between border regions and increase the mobility of people and goods within the functional region. The goals of MULTIREG initiatives can range from short term infrastructure projects and social programmes to long term economic goals of enhancing the polycentric qualities of a border region.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''differentiated integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are encouraged but not obliged to take part in partial agreements, and may opt out from individual agreements as they see fit. This is the main mechanism through which the principle of differentiated integration is operationalized within ASUN. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are considered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements are primarliy funded through cost sharing by participating states, with a small baseline of funding provided through ASUN itself. Plurilateral agreements are generally specialized in coordinating cooperation in a certain field or around a specific issue, such as economic integration, maritime security or research grants. They also indirectly aid the official bodies by preparing public inquiries when requested by an official body. Such public inquiries often precede major decisions in ASUN in order to gather data for or analyse possible outcomes of new policy.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

'''Interparliamentary Assembly (IAASUN)'''<br><br />
''Advisory and deliberative''<br><br />
Located in {{Castellan}}.<br><br><br />
The Interparliamentary Assembly of the Association of South Ulethan Nations is the parliamentary arm of ASUN. The overarching goal of the Interparliamentary Assembly is the dissemination of best practices and harmonization of national laws across member states. The Assembly does not have the power to make binding laws, but can help develop, recommend, implement and evaluate national legislation of member states. In addition, the Interparliamentary Assembly acts as a platform for debate for member states and holds frequent dialogues and debate sessions on any topic it chooses. The Assembly has the power to appoint the position of Secretary General and judges for the South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights. Member states found to be in violation of ASUN’s statutes can have their delegation suspended or voting rights removed. The Assembly includes the delegations of each member states’ parliament, and seats are distributed proportionally according to country population. It is the responsibility of each individual member state that their delegations are representative of the balance within their respective national parliaments, but ASUN does not regulate in detail how each member state selects their delegation. Observer and partner states also have the opportunity to send a delegation to take part in the Assembly's sessions, but they lack the right to vote or to set the agenda.<br />

==Treaties and conventions==<br />
ASUN also has a number of treaties and conventions that, unlike plurilateral agreements, do not have a physical institution associated with them. Two of these are obligatory for ASUN members to ratify; namely the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS) and the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights (UCFR).<br />

===Member states===<br />
All AN member states located in southern Uletha are eligible for membership in ASUN. States are required to ratify the Foundational Statute of the Association of South Ulethan Nations as well as the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights in order to become a member. Full members enjoy all perks of ASUN membership, such as the right to raise issues and set the agenda of meetings, submit and vote on proposals, raise points of order and circulate documents. ASUN institutions can only be hosted in ASUN member states. <br />
<br />
Current member states include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
*{{Aden}}<br />
*[[Alebria]]<br />
*[[Almahrus]]<br />

<br />
===Partners===<br />
States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />
<br />
Current partners include:<br />
*{{Mauretia}}<br />
*[[Egalian Union]]<br />
<br />
=== Observers ===<br />
States with an interest in southern Ulethan affairs, and states located in or adjacent to Uletha, are eligible for observer status. Supranational entities all over the world may also apply for observer status. Observers have the right to attend meetings, sessions and activities of ASUN institutions, but they may not speak unless invited to do so. The role of observer is intended to provide states with an enhanced insight into ASUN's activities. <br />
<br />
Current observers include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
*[[Antarephian Coalition]]<br />

==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones del Sur de Uleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formidable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN has had a significant impact on the spatial development of South Uletha. Many large infrastructure projects across the region have been funded either directly through ASUN or through one of its many plurilateral agreements. The South Uletha Monetary Fund (SUMF) acts as the organization's main source for funding projects within individual member states, while ASUN itself often facilitates funding for cross-border projects by gathering stakeholders and establishing cost-sharing schemes. Many of these cross-border projects have evolved into permanent programmes for cooperation within ASUN's MULTIREG (''Multinational Functional Regions'') framework, which aims to enhance cooperation between border regions and increase the mobility of people and goods within the functional region. The goals of MULTIREG initiatives can range from short term infrastructure projects and social programmes to long term economic goals of enhancing the polycentric qualities of a border region.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''differentiated integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are encouraged but not obliged to take part in partial agreements, and may opt out from individual agreements as they see fit. This is the main mechanism through which the principle of differentiated integration is operationalized within ASUN. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are considered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements are primarliy funded through cost sharing by participating states, with a small baseline of funding provided through ASUN itself. Plurilateral agreements are generally specialized in coordinating cooperation in a certain field or around a specific issue, such as economic integration, maritime security or research grants. They also indirectly aid the official bodies by preparing public inquiries when requested by an official body. Such public inquiries often precede major decisions in ASUN in order to gather data for or analyse possible outcomes of new policy.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

'''Interparliamentary Assembly (IAASUN)'''<br><br />
''Advisory and deliberative''<br><br />
Located in {{Castellan}}.<br><br><br />
The Interparliamentary Assembly of the Association of South Ulethan Nations is the parliamentary arm of ASUN. The overarching goal of the Interparliamentary Assembly is the dissemination of best practices and harmonization of national laws across member states. The Assembly does not have the power to make binding laws, but can help develop, recommend, implement and evaluate national legislation of member states. In addition, the Interparliamentary Assembly acts as a platform for debate for member states and holds frequent dialogues and debate sessions on any topic it chooses. The Assembly has the power to appoint the position of Secretary General and judges for the South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights. Member states found to be in violation of ASUN’s statutes can have their delegation suspended or voting rights removed. The Assembly includes the delegations of each member states’ parliament, and seats are distributed proportionally according to country population. It is the responsibility of each individual member state that their delegations are representative of the balance within their respective national parliaments, but ASUN does not regulate in detail how each member state selects their delegation. Observer and partner states also have the opportunity to send a delegation to take part in the Assembly's sessions, but they lack the right to vote or to set the agenda.<br />

==Treaties and conventions==<br />
ASUN also has a number of treaties and conventions that, unlike plurilateral agreements, do not have a physical institution associated with them. Two of these are obligatory for ASUN members to ratify; namely the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS) and the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights (UCFR).<br />

===Member states===<br />
All AN member states located in southern Uletha are eligible for membership in ASUN. States are required to ratify the Foundational Statute of the Association of South Ulethan Nations as well as the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights in order to become a member. Full members enjoy all perks of ASUN membership, such as the right to raise issues and set the agenda of meetings, submit and vote on proposals, raise points of order and circulate documents. ASUN institutions can only be hosted in ASUN member states. <br />
<br />
Current member states include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
*{{Aden}}<br />
*[[Alebria]]<br />
*[[Almahrus]]<br />

*{{Selonia and Flamain}}<br />
</div><br />
<br />
===Partners===<br />
States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />
<br />
Current partners include:<br />
*{{Mauretia}}<br />
*[[Egalian Union]]<br />
<br />
=== Observers ===<br />
States with an interest in southern Ulethan affairs, and states located in or adjacent to Uletha, are eligible for observer status. Supranational entities all over the world may also apply for observer status. Observers have the right to attend meetings, sessions and activities of ASUN institutions, but they may not speak unless invited to do so. The role of observer is intended to provide states with an enhanced insight into ASUN's activities. <br />
<br />
Current observers include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
*[[Antarephian Coalition]]<br />
*{{Alora}}<br />
*[[Chara]] (constituent entity of {{Suria}})<br />

==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

<br />
The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones del Sur de Uleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formiddable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''asymmetrical integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are not obliged to take part in partial agreements, but are encouraged to opt in on a voluntary basis. Plurilateral Agreements are in most cases funded through cost sharing by participating states. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are cosidered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements funded by ASUN itself are only open to member states.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

Located in {{Castellan}}.<br><br><br />
The Interparliamentary Assembly of the Association of South Ulethan Nations is the parliamentary arm of ASUN. The overarching goal of the Interparliamentary Assembly is the dissemination of best practices and harmonization of national laws across member states. The Assembly does not have the power to make binding laws, but can help develop, recommend, implement and evaluate national legislation of member states. In addition, the Interparliamentary Assembly acts as a platform for debate for member states and holds frequent dialogues and debate sessions on any topic it chooses. The Assembly has the power to appoint the position of Secretary General and judges for the South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights. Member states found to be in violation of ASUN’s statutes can have their delegation suspended or voting rights removed. The Assembly includes the delegations of each member states’ parliament, and seats are distributed proportionally according to country population. It is the responsibility of the member state that the delegation is representative of the national parliament. Observer and partner states also have the opportunity to send a delegation, but lack the right to vote.<br />

'''Court of Fundamental Rights (SUCFR)'''<br><br />
''Judiciary''<br><br />
Located in Portat e Arta, {{Malesoria}}.<br><br><br />
The South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights is the international court of the Association of South Ulethan Nations, whose mandate includes enforcing the contents of the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights to which every member state is a party. The court has jurisdiction amongst all member states of ASUN. The court hears applications from individuals, groups, organizations or entire states and makes judgments regarding the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights or any of ASUN’s optional treaties and conventions when applicable for involved parties. The court may also, upon the request of the Committee of Ministers or the Interparliamentary Assembly, issue advisory opinions regarding the interpretation of ASUN treaties and conventions. Judges are elected by majority vote by the Interparliamentary Assembly for a non-renewable eight-year term.<br />

ASUN institutions can only be hosted in ASUN member states. <br />
<br />

States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />
<br />
Current partners include:<br />
* {{Mauretia}}<br />
* [[Egalian Union]]<br />
<br />
===Observers===<br />
States with an interest in southern Ulethan affairs, and states located in or adjacent to Uletha, are eligible for observer status. Supranational entities all over the world may also apply for observer status. Observers have the right to attend meetings, sessions and activities of ASUN institutions, but they may not speak unless invited to do so. The role of observer is intended to provide states with an enhanced insight into ASUN's activities. <br />
<br />
Current observers include:<br />

==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones del Sur de Uleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formiddable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''asymmetrical integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are not obliged to take part in partial agreements, but are encouraged to opt in on a voluntary basis. Plurilateral Agreements are in most cases funded through cost sharing by participating states. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are cosidered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements funded by ASUN itself are only open to member states.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

==Treaties and conventions==<br />
ASUN also has a number of treaties and conventions that, unlike plurilateral agreements, do not have a physical institution associated with them. Two of these are obligatory for ASUN members to ratify; namely the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS) and the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights (UCFR).<br />

===Member states===<br />
All AN member states located in southern Uletha are eligible for membership in ASUN. States are required to ratify the Foundational Statute of the Association of South Ulethan Nations as well as the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights in order to become a member. Full members enjoy all perks of ASUN membership, such as the right to raise issues and set the agenda of meetings, submit and vote on proposals, raise points of order and circulate documents. ASUN institutions can only be hosted in ASUN member states. <br />
<br />
Current member states include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* {{Aden}}<br />
* [[Almahrus]]<br />
* {{Antharia}}<br />

* {{Plevia}}<br />
* [[Pretannia]]<br />
* {{Qennes}}<br />
* {{Selonia and Flamain}}<br />
</div><br />
<br />
===Partners===<br />
States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />
<br />
Current partners include:<br />
* {{Mauretia}}<br />
* [[Egalian Union]]<br />
<br />
===Observers===<br />
States with an interest in southern Ulethan affairs, and states located in or adjacent to Uletha, are eligible for observer status. Supranational entities all over the world may also apply for observer status. Observers have the right to attend meetings, sessions and activities of ASUN institutions, but they may not speak unless invited to do so. The role of observer is intended to provide states with an enhanced insight into ASUN's activities. <br />
<br />
Current observers include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* [[Antarephian Coalition]]<br />
* {{Alora}}<br />
* [[Chara]] (constituent entity of {{Suria}})<br />

<br />
==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 18,294.65 km² (7,063.60 sq mi) with a population of approximately 4.5 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Zsità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a fifth of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled by peoples from Plevia or Pretannia. The city began as an independent city state, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana and integrated much of the Shelakh states in the southeast. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, establishing colonies and securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Navienna”. The name is believed to have been constructed partly from the name of the original people inhabiting the Navennese lagoon, who based on historical records from the Romantian Empire were referred to as the Nāvies. This word in turn may have its origins from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "boat". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in the Shelakh language which refers to a seat of power or center of rule. The name can therefore be deconstructed as having the meaning "seat of power of the Nāvies (Navennese)".<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The ancient peoples who inhabited Navenna before the establishing of the Romantian Empire include the Nāvies, the Shelakh and the Aehorans. Discoveries of Shelakh artifacts dating back to 900 BC show that the Shelakh people were a dominant force during this early history and influenced much of the region, with the Nāvies and Aehorans being limited to the Navennese lagoon and western Anoria respectively. While the origins of the Shelakh peoples is unknown, the Nāvies and Aehorans are both considered Proto-Romantian cultures with origins from the north, possibly from [[Plevia]] or [[Pretannia]]. The Nāvies, being the likely namesake of Navenna, inhabited the Navennese Lagoon for thousands of years, long before the founding of the City of Navenna itself. They sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. The region's integration into the Romantian Empire brought with it cultural influences from the Romantian civilization, such as the Romantian writing system. After the collapse of the Romantian Empire, the following power vacuum lead to the establishment of several city states and kingdoms in the region. Years of Romantian rule is believed to have erased some of the cultural and ethnic distinctions between the Proto-Romantian peoples of the region.<br />
<br />
The history of Navenna as a country is tied to its history as a city. Local folklore suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the Navennese Lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. The original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and other sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />

====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, the city state of Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the city state of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland - laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw an expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakh coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to swear loyalty to and become vassals of the Republic of Navenna, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. All but one of the Shelakh states, the Kingdom of Mechna refused, which resulted in a drawn out conflict between Navenna and a coalition of Shelakh states. The Shelakh coalition navy was quickly decimated and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Thispoor}} (Navennese: ''Zsispora'', Shelakh: ''Phispour'') saw the end of Shelakh resistance along the coast. The Shelakhs would hold out much longer inland, but would ultimately be defeated at the Battle of Queshun. The Shelakh coalition would surrender after this defeat and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà. The treaty was much harsher than the original ultimatum, and would see much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast integrated into the growing Navennese maritime empire and the Shelakh rulers completely deposed of. Some Shelakh rump states would remain to the east. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. The early years of Navennese rule in Shelakh lands were shaky, and it would take many years for a degree of tolerance between the peoples to emerge. Navenna sought to integrate Şelachia. The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While officially no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries, though irrepairable damage to Shelakh cultural heritage had already been done.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />

====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 400 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Shelakhia and Anoria in particular are home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending near the middle of the Shelakhian exclave at {{node|321236703|Notrepo}}. {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The {{way|19571545|river through Amsoana}} is nearly 800 km long and by far the longest river passing through the country, but most of the river is located outside Navenna. The longest rivers within Navenna are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Climate===<br />
Navenna has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa), characterized by hot and humid summers. Winters are mild and are marked by high precipitation. The country receives between 2,200 and 2,900 hours of sunshine on average every year, with an average of 9-12 hours per day in the summer, and 4-6 hours in the winter.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 1% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />
<!-- the council suggests the doge, the assembly approves the doge --><br />
===Political parties===<br />
Any one party has a very slim chance of gaining power alone, and no party has ever won a majority of seats in any election. Therefore, it is political praxis that parties work with each other and form coalition governments. Traditionally, power in Navenna has been held by either center-right coalitions lead by liberal conservative Christic Democratic Party (''Partido Christico Democratico''), or center-left coalitions lead by Social Democrats - Workers' Party of Navenna (''Sociàldemocratisi – Partido dei Laorànti de Navenna''). The liberal Republican Party (''Partido Repùblegano'') is a third major political party that has supported both center-right and center-left governments. Other major political parties include liberal Progressive Alliance (''Aleanxa Progresiva''), national conservative New Democracy for Navenna (''Nóva Democrasìa par Navenna'') and socialist United Left (''Senèstro Unìo'').<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include natural gas, cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the cities of {{node|321236711|Tessa}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}} which were both located in regions rich in iron ore and bituminous coal. Anoria has been economically reliant on natural gas from the {{relation|255197|Caƚia}} gas field since the 50s. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|227726957|Thispoor}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search of cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{relation|369390|NASEC}}, Navenna's largest defense contractor has been able to stay competetive due in part to the company branching out into infosec, and due to NASEC's close ties to the Navennese state which has ensured continued funding. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's current economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity, employing around 20% of the country's private sector workforce and paying nearly 70% of the collected corporate tax. Tax practices of primarily foreign but also domestic multinational corporate entities has caused Navenna to have a greatly distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />. These distortions are believed to have positive effects on both domestic consumer optimism and global investors, and additionally masks underlying economic economic issues. Navenna suffers from high wealth inequality compared to many other countries in the region, and has a higher poverty rate than the ASUN average. While Navenna usually performs well in terms of economic freedom and ease of business, several studies note an increasing prevalence of oligopolistic structures in various sectors, notably in retail, housing and telecommunications.<br />

===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />
<br />
Power production in Navenna is highly reliant on the Caƚia gas field. After the gas field's discovery in 1953, a network of pipelines was constructed connecting the Caƚia gas field with population centers both within and outside Navenna. Gas levels are believed to reach low enough levels that extraction is no longer economically feasible around 2030-2035. Therefore the country has been diversifying its power production in recent years. Hydroelectric power has been a complementary source of energy in the country's interior regions for many years, and plans for expansion into previously unregulated rivers has been put forward. Pilot projects using biomass and biogas as a replacement for the previously gas-reliant thermoelectric plants are currently underway.<br />

With an estimated population of 4.5 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one forth of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 248 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

===Music===<br />

Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
====Dishes====<br />
Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />
* ''Briozsiò'' - a buttery and flaky pastry made from a yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar to Franquese croissants but more compact.<br />
* ''Tiramisù'' - a layered mocha-flavored cake.<br />
* ''Bussolà'' - lightly lemon-flavored and buttery cookies from {{node|203528413|Migia}}.<br />
* ''Fritoƚe'' - small, round fried doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and occasionally filled with fruit, custard or chocolate.<br />
* ''Sorbetto'' - a frozen dessert with Turquese origins, made from frozen fruit juice, purée and wine, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Typically served with berries or with Plevian ''gelato''.<br />
* ''{{relation|315043|Nocolàt}}'' - a hazelnut and cocoa spread commonly used as an ingredient or topping for various desserts. Originally from Mirùn, it is now produced in various locations around the world.<br />

The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Zsità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a fifth of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled by peoples from Plevia or Pretannia. The city began as an independent city state, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana and integrated much of the Shelakh states in the southeast. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, establishing colonies and securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Navienna”. The name is believed to have been constructed partly from the name of the original people inhabiting the Navennese lagoon, who based on historical records from the Romantian Empire were referred to as the Nāvies. This word in turn may have its origins from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "boat". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in the Shelakh language which refers to a seat of power or center of rule. The name can therefore be deconstructed as having the meaning "seat of power of the Nāvies (Navennese)".<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The ancient peoples who inhabited Navenna before the establishing of the Romantian Empire include the Nāvies, the Shelakh and the Aehorans. Discoveries of Shelakh artifacts dating back to 900 BC show that the Shelakh people were a dominant force during this early history and influenced much of the region, with the Nāvies and Aehorans being limited to the Navennese lagoon and western Anoria respectively. While the origins of the Shelakh peoples is unknown, the Nāvies and Aehorans are both considered Proto-Romantian cultures with origins from the north, possibly from [[Plevia]] or [[Pretannia]]. The Nāvies, being the likely namesake of Navenna, inhabited the Navennese Lagoon for thousands of years, long before the founding of the City of Navenna itself. They sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. The region's integration into the Romantian Empire brought with it cultural influences from the Romantian civilization, such as the Romantian writing system. After the collapse of the Romantian Empire, the following power vacuum lead to the establishment of several city states and kingdoms in the region. Years of Romantian rule is believed to have erased some of the cultural and ethnic distinctions between the Proto-Romantian peoples of the region.<br />
<br />
The history of Navenna as a country is tied to its history as a city. Local folklore suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the Navennese Lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. The original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and other sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />
[[File:Procession of the Doge in Venice MET DP837489.jpg|left|300px|thumb|''Asénsa de Dòxe Filadelfo Nùnxo'' by Jùlio Coiro]]<br />
====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, the city state of Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the city state of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland - laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw an expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakh coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to swear loyalty to and become vassals of the Republic of Navenna, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. All but one of the Shelakh states, the Kingdom of Mechna refused, which resulted in a drawn out conflict between Navenna and a coalition of Shelakh states. The Shelakh coalition navy was quickly decimated and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Thispoor}} (Navennese: ''Zsispora'', Shelakh: ''Phispour'') saw the end of Shelakh resistance along the coast. The Shelakhs would hold out much longer inland, but would ultimately be defeated at the Battle of Queshun. The Shelakh coalition would surrender after this defeat and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà. The treaty was much harsher than the original ultimatum, and would see much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast integrated into the growing Navennese maritime empire and the Shelakh rulers completely deposed of. Some Shelakh rump states would remain to the east. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. The early years of Navennese rule in Shelakh lands were shaky, and it would take many years for a degree of tolerance between the peoples to emerge. Navenna sought to integrate Şelachia. The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While officially no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries, though irrepairable damage to Shelakh cultural heritage had already been done.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />

====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Climate===<br />
Navenna has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa), characterized by hot and humid summers. Winters are mild and are marked by high precipitation. The country receives between 2,200 and 2,900 hours of sunshine on average every year, with an average of 9-12 hours per day in the summer, and 4-6 hours in the winter.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 1% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />
<!-- the council suggests the doge, the assembly approves the doge --><br />
===Political parties===<br />
Any one party has a very slim chance of gaining power alone, and no party has ever won a majority of seats in any election. Therefore, it is political praxis that parties work with each other and form coalition governments. Traditionally, power in Navenna has been held by either center-right coalitions lead by liberal conservative Christic Democratic Party (''Partido Christico Democratico''), or center-left coalitions lead by Social Democrats - Workers' Party of Navenna (''Sociàldemocratisi – Partido dei Laorànti de Navenna''). The liberal Republican Party (''Partido Repùblegano'') is a third major political party that has supported both center-right and center-left governments. Other major political parties include liberal Progressive Alliance (''Aleanxa Progresiva''), national conservative New Democracy for Navenna (''Nóva Democrasìa par Navenna'') and socialist United Left (''Senèstro Unìo'').<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />

Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />

===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 4.5 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one forth of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 248 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
====Dishes====<br />
Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />
* ''Briozsiò'' - a buttery and flaky pastry made from a yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar to Franquese croissants but more compact.<br />
* ''Tiramisù'' - a layered mocha-flavored cake.<br />
* ''Bussolà'' - lightly lemon-flavored and buttery cookies from {{node|203528413|Migia}}.<br />
* ''Fritoƚe'' - small, round fried doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and occasionally filled with fruit, custard or chocolate.<br />
* ''Sorbetto'' - a frozen dessert with Turquese origins, made from frozen fruit juice, purée and wine, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Typically served with berries or with Plevian ''gelato''.<br />
* ''{{relation|315043|Nocolàt}}'' - a hazelnut and cocoa spread commonly used as an ingredient or topping for various desserts. Originally from Mirùn, it is now produced in various locations around the world.<br />

| intro = '''Navenna''', officially the '''Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Repùblega de Navenna''), also known as the '''Most Serene Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Serenìsima Repùblega Navennata''), is a small sovereign state in southwestern Uletha bordering {{Plevia}} in the north and {{relation|182490|UL07e}} in the east and {{relation|182491|Costa dei Scialecchi}} in the southeast. Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 18,294.65 km² (7,063.60 sq mi) with a population of approximately 4.5 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Zsità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a fifth of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled by peoples from Plevia or Pretannia. The city began as an independent city state, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana and integrated much of the Shelakh states in the southeast. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, establishing colonies and securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Navienna”. The name is believed to have been constructed partly from the name of the original people inhabiting the Navennese lagoon, who based on historical records from the Romantian Empire were referred to as the Nāvies. This word in turn may have its origins from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "boat". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in the Shelakh language which refers to a seat of power or center of rule. The name can therefore be deconstructed as having the meaning "seat of power of the Nāvies (Navennese)".<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The ancient peoples who inhabited Navenna before the establishing of the Romantian Empire include the Nāvies, the Shelakh and the Aehorans. Discoveries of Shelakh artifacts dating back to 900 BC show that the Shelakh people were a dominant force during this early history and influenced much of the region, with the Nāvies and Aehorans being limited to the Navennese lagoon and western Anoria respectively. While the origins of the Shelakh peoples is unknown, the Nāvies and Aehorans are both considered Proto-Romantian cultures with origins from the north, possibly from [[Plevia]] or [[Pretannia]]. The Nāvies, being the likely namesake of Navenna, inhabited the Navennese Lagoon for thousands of years, long before the founding of the City of Navenna itself. They sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. The region's integration into the Romantian Empire brought with it cultural influences from the Romantian civilization, such as the Romantian writing system. After the collapse of the Romantian Empire, the following power vacuum lead to the establishment of several city states and kingdoms in the region. Years of Romantian rule is believed to have erased some of the cultural and ethnic distinctions between the Proto-Romantian peoples of the region.<br />
<br />
The history of Navenna as a country is tied to its history as a city. Local folklore suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the Navennese Lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. The original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and other sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />
[[File:Procession of the Doge in Venice MET DP837489.jpg|left|300px|thumb|''Asénsa de Dòxe Filadelfo Nùnxo'' by Jùlio Coiro]]<br />
====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, the city state of Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the city state of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland - laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw an expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakh coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to swear loyalty to and become vassals of the Republic of Navenna, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. All but one of the Shelakh states, the Kingdom of Mechna refused, which resulted in a drawn out conflict between Navenna and a coalition of Shelakh states. The Shelakh coalition navy was quickly decimated and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Thispoor}} (Navennese: ''Zsispora'', Shelakh: ''Phispour'') saw the end of Shelakh resistance along the coast. The Shelakhs would hold out much longer inland, but would ultimately be defeated at the Battle of Queshun. The Shelakh coalition would surrender after this defeat and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà. The treaty was much harsher than the original ultimatum, and would see much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast integrated into the growing Navennese maritime empire and the Shelakh rulers completely deposed of. Some Shelakh rump states would remain to the east. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. The early years of Navennese rule in Shelakh lands were shaky, and it would take many years for a degree of tolerance between the peoples to emerge. Navenna sought to integrate Şelachia. The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While officially no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries, though irrepairable damage to Shelakh cultural heritage had already been done.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />

===Late Modern Era===<br />
====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Climate===<br />
Navenna has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa), characterized by hot and humid summers. Winters are mild and are marked by high precipitation. The country receives between 2,200 and 2,900 hours of sunshine on average every year, with an average of 9-12 hours per day in the summer, and 4-6 hours in the winter.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 1% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />
<!-- the council suggests the doge, the assembly approves the doge --><br />
===Political parties===<br />
Any one party has a very slim chance of gaining power alone, and no party has ever won a majority of seats in any election. Therefore, it is political praxis that parties work with each other and form coalition governments. Traditionally, power in Navenna has been held by either center-right coalitions lead by liberal conservative Christic Democratic Party (''Partido Christico Democratico''), or center-left coalitions lead by Social Democrats - Workers' Party of Navenna (''Sociàldemocratisi – Partido dei Laorànti de Navenna''). The liberal Republican Party (''Partido Repùblegano'') is a third major political party that has supported both center-right and center-left governments. Other major political parties include liberal Progressive Alliance (''Aleanxa Progresiva''), national conservative New Democracy for Navenna (''Nóva Democrasìa par Navenna'') and socialist United Left (''Senèstro Unìo'').<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />

===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 4.5 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one forth of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 248 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

===Music===<br />
[[File:16th-century unknown painters - Portrait of Torquato Tasso - WGA23945.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Portrait of Ciro Nenci]]<br />
[[File:CharlieAtomColorFest2019.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Ƚoris Ventura performing at NDA 2019]]<br />
Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
====Dishes====<br />
Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />

The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones del Sur de Uleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formiddable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''asymmetrical integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are not obliged to take part in partial agreements, but are encouraged to opt in on a voluntary basis. Plurilateral Agreements are in most cases funded through cost sharing by participating states. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are cosidered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements funded by ASUN itself are only open to member states.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

In addition, the Interparliamentary Assembly acts as a platform for debate for member states and holds frequent dialogues and debate sessions on any topic it chooses. The Assembly has the power to appoint the position of Secretary General and judges for the South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights. Member states found to be in violation of ASUN’s statutes can have their delegation suspended or voting rights removed. The Assembly includes the delegations of each member states’ parliament, and seats are distributed proportionally according to country population. It is the responsibility of the member state that the delegation is representative of the national parliament. Observer and partner states also have the opportunity to send a delegation, but lack the right to vote.<br />

==Treaties and conventions==<br />
ASUN also has a number of treaties and conventions that, unlike plurilateral agreements, do not have a physical institution associated with them. Two of these are obligatory for ASUN members to ratify; namely the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS) and the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights (UCFR).<br />

===Member states===<br />
All AN member states located in southern Uletha are eligible for membership in ASUN. States are required to ratify the Foundational Statute of the Association of South Ulethan Nations as well as the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights in order to become a member. Full members enjoy all perks of ASUN membership, such as the right to raise issues and set the agenda of meetings, submit and vote on proposals, raise points of order and circulate documents. ASUN institutions can only be hosted in ASUN member states. <br />
<br />
Current member states include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* {{Aden}}<br />
* [[Almahrus]]<br />
* {{Antharia}}<br />
* [[Arion]]<br />
* [[Castellán]]<br />
* [[Challay and St Andrews]]<br />
* [[Coast of Shelakhs]]<br />
* {{Demirhan Empire}}<br />
* {{Larcetany}}<br />
* {{Lorantis}}<br />
* {{Malesoria}}<br />
* {{Mazan}}<br />
* {{Mitras}}<br />
* {{Navenna}}<br />
* [[Niscavo]]<br />
* {{Plevia}}<br />
* {{Qennes}}<br />
* {{Selonia and Flamain}}<br />
</div><br />
<br />
===Partners===<br />
States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />
<br />
Current partners include:<br />
* {{Mauretia}}<br />
* [[Egalian Union]]<br />
<br />
===Observers===<br />
States with an interest in southern Ulethan affairs, and states located in or adjacent to Uletha, are eligible for observer status. Supranational entities all over the world may also apply for observer status. Observers have the right to attend meetings, sessions and activities of ASUN institutions, but they may not speak unless invited to do so. The role of observer is intended to provide states with an enhanced insight into ASUN's activities. <br />
<br />
Current observers include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* [[Antarephian Coalition]]<br />
* {{Alora}}<br />
* [[Chara]] (constituent entity of {{Suria}})<br />
* [[Egani]]<br />
* [[Gaskús]] (constituent entity of [[Ruoguovvás]])<br />
* {{Geklinia-Dregolesia}}<br />
* {{Iscu}}<br />
* {{Izaland}}<br />
* {{Kara}}<br />
</div><br />
<br />
==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

| intro = '''Navenna''', officially the '''Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Repùblega de Navenna''), also known as the '''Most Serene Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Serenìsima Repùblega Navennata''), is a small sovereign state in southwestern Uletha bordering {{Plevia}} in the north and {{relation|182490|UL07e}} in the east and {{relation|182491|Costa dei Scialecchi}} in the southeast. Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 18,294.65 km² (7,063.60 sq mi) with a population of approximately 4.5 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Sità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a fifth of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled in the 6th or 7th century by immigrants from the north, possibly Nascilians. The city began as an independent trading post for trade routes between Plevian city states in the north and states in the southeast, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana, its main trading rival. In 1289, Navenna captured the city of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and annexed its territory. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century, expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Nāviena”. The name is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "ship". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in Navenna. The name likely refers to the location of the city, being reachable only by boat.<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The land itself has been home to a multitude of tribes and minor kingdoms, with highly unstable borders. The Navennese lagoon is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, long before the founding of Navenna itself, by smaller groups who primarily sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. There are two mainstream theories among researchers regarding when the city itself was founded. The first theory posits that migrants from [[Plevia]], possibly Nascilians, established a trading post in the lagoon in the 6th or 7th century, which then grew to become a city due to migration from the surrounding lagoon and mainland Navenna. This is supported by Nascilian texts detailing efforts to establish such trading posts along the northern Mediterranean coast, but no evidence exists to suggest the Navennese lagoon was the location of one. The second theory, which is based on local tradition, suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. Local tradition posits that the original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />
[[File:Procession of the Doge in Venice MET DP837489.jpg|left|300px|thumb|''Asénsa de Dòxe Filadelfo Nùnxo'' by Jùlio Coiro]]<br />
====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the Republic of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland; laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw a slow expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakhi coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to submit to Navennese rule, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. Initially the Shelakhs refused, which resulted in a short war and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Ashelspoor}} (Navennese: ''Giannina''). The Shelakhs would surrender a few months after and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà, integrating much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast into the growing Navennese maritime empire. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. After a few years of establishing Navennese rule and eliminating rebellious elements, the Shelakhs were granted a degree of home rule by the Doge in 1129, establishing the canton of Shelakhia (Navennese: Šelachia). The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />

===Late Modern Era===<br />
====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Climate===<br />
Navenna has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa), characterized by hot and humid summers. Winters are mild and are marked by high precipitation.

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 1% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />
<!-- the council suggests the doge, the assembly approves the doge --><br />
===Political parties===<br />
Any one party has a very slim chance of gaining power alone, and no party has ever won a majority of seats in any election. Therefore, it is political praxis that parties work with each other and form coalition governments. Traditionally, power in Navenna has been held by either center-right coalitions lead by liberal conservative Christic Democratic Party (''Partido Christico Democratico''), or center-left coalitions lead by Social Democrats - Workers' Party of Navenna (''Sociàldemocratisi – Partido dei Laorànti de Navenna''). The liberal Republican Party (''Partido Repùblegano'') is a third major political party that has supported both center-right and center-left governments. Other major political parties include liberal Progressive Alliance (''Aleanxa Progresiva''), national conservative New Democracy for Navenna (''Nóva Democrasìa par Navenna'') and socialist United Left (''Senèstro Unìo'').<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />

Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />

===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 4.5 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one forth of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 248 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

===Music===<br />

Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
====Dishes====<br />
Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />
* ''Briozsiò'' - a buttery and flaky pastry made from a yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar to Franquese croissants but more compact.<br />
* ''Tiramisù'' - a layered mocha-flavored cake.<br />
* ''Bussolà'' - lightly lemon-flavored and buttery cookies from {{node|203528413|Migia}}.<br />
* ''Fritoƚe'' - small, round fried doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and occasionally filled with fruit, custard or chocolate.<br />
* ''Sorbetto'' - a frozen dessert with Turquese origins, made from frozen fruit juice, purée and wine, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Typically served with berries or with Plevian ''gelato''.<br />
* ''{{relation|315043|Nocolàt}}'' - a hazelnut and cocoa spread commonly used as an ingredient or topping for various desserts. Originally from Mirùn, it is now produced in various locations around the world.<br />

| intro = '''Navenna''', officially the '''Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Repùblega de Navenna''), also known as the '''Most Serene Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Serenìsima Repùblega Navennata''), is a small sovereign state in southwestern Uletha bordering {{Plevia}} in the north, {{relation|182490|Mardoumakhstan}} in the east and {{relation|182491|Costa dei Scialecchi}} in the southeast. Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Sità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a quarter of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled in the 6th or 7th century by immigrants from the north, possibly Nascilians. The city began as an independent trading post for trade routes between Plevian city states in the north and states in the southeast, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana, its main trading rival. In 1289, Navenna captured the city of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and annexed its territory. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century, expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Nāviena”. The name is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "ship". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in Navenna. The name likely refers to the location of the city, being reachable only by boat.<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The land itself has been home to a multitude of tribes and minor kingdoms, with highly unstable borders. The Navennese lagoon is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, long before the founding of Navenna itself, by smaller groups who primarily sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. There are two mainstream theories among researchers regarding when the city itself was founded. The first theory posits that migrants from [[Plevia]], possibly Nascilians, established a trading post in the lagoon in the 6th or 7th century, which then grew to become a city due to migration from the surrounding lagoon and mainland Navenna. This is supported by Nascilian texts detailing efforts to establish such trading posts along the northern Mediterranean coast, but no evidence exists to suggest the Navennese lagoon was the location of one. The second theory, which is based on local tradition, suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. Local tradition posits that the original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />
[[File:Procession of the Doge in Venice MET DP837489.jpg|left|300px|thumb|''Asénsa de Dòxe Filadelfo Nùnxo'' by Jùlio Coiro]]<br />
====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the Republic of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland; laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw a slow expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakhi coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to submit to Navennese rule, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. Initially the Shelakhs refused, which resulted in a short war and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Ashelspoor}} (Navennese: ''Giannina''). The Shelakhs would surrender a few months after and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà, integrating much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast into the growing Navennese maritime empire. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. After a few years of establishing Navennese rule and eliminating rebellious elements, the Shelakhs were granted a degree of home rule by the Doge in 1129, establishing the canton of Shelakhia (Navennese: Šelachia). The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />
===Early Modern Era===<br />
====Navennese Renaissance====<br />
====Decline====<br />
===Late Modern Era===<br />
====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 1% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />
<!-- the council suggests the doge, the assembly approves the doge --><br />
===Political parties===<br />
Any one party has a very slim chance of gaining power alone, and no party has ever won a majority of seats in any election. Therefore, it is political praxis that parties work with each other and form coalition governments. Traditionally, power in Navenna has been held by either center-right coalitions lead by liberal conservative Christic Democratic Party (''Partido Christico Democratico''), or center-left coalitions lead by Social Democrats - Workers' Party of Navenna (''Sociàldemocratisi – Partido dei Laorànti de Navenna''). The liberal Republican Party (''Partido Repùblegano'') is a third major political party that has supported both center-right and center-left governments. Other major political parties include liberal Progressive Alliance (''Aleanxa Progresiva''), national conservative New Democracy for Navenna (''Nóva Democrasìa par Navenna'') and socialist United Left (''Senèstro Unìo'').<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />
<br />
===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 3.2 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one third of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 280 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

===Music===<br />
[[File:16th-century unknown painters - Portrait of Torquato Tasso - WGA23945.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Portrait of Ciro Nenci]]<br />
[[File:CharlieAtomColorFest2019.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Ƚoris Ventura performing at NDA 2019]]<br />
Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
====Dishes====<br />
Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />
* ''Briozsiò'' - a buttery and flaky pastry made from a yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar to Franquese croissants but more compact.<br />
* ''Tiramisù'' - a layered mocha-flavored cake.<br />
* ''Bussolà'' - lightly lemon-flavored and buttery cookies from {{node|203528413|Migia}}.<br />
* ''Fritoƚe'' - small, round fried doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and occasionally filled with fruit, custard or chocolate.<br />
* ''Sorbetto'' - a frozen dessert with Turquese origins, made from frozen fruit juice, purée and wine, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Typically served with berries or with Plevian ''gelato''.<br />
* ''{{relation|315043|Nocolàt}}'' - a hazelnut and cocoa spread commonly used as an ingredient or topping for various desserts. Originally from Mirùn, it is now produced in various locations around the world.<br />

<br />
UL08g - Extension of Navenna (UL08h)<br />
<br />
For clarification, I seek to merge Navenna (UL08h) with UL08g, forming a single territory.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{territory application physical geography}}<br />
<br />
A sketch of the territory is provided [https://imgur.com/a/YF4wZBd on this link.] The natural mapping suggested by the sketch do not differ significantly from the mapping currently present in the territory. UL08g's current mapping evokes parallels to the coastline of Dalmatia and Liguria, and I wish to preserve and reuse the natural mapping already present. The sketch also includes some minor additions to UL08h's landmass, in the form of a few islands to try and better tie together the coastlines of UL08g and UL08h. The topography of the territory will be dominated by the foothills of the mountain chain that forms the natural border between UL08g and UL07e. The peaks of this mountain chain rarely surpass 1500 meters. There will be a few rivers feeding into the Mediterranean Sea, which form low-lying and intensively cultivated valleys. {{way|19571545|This river}} in particular seem to be a major river in the region, forming a valley through the territory similar to the river Arno in Toscana. Signs of former and current volcanic activity will be present in the landscape in the form of active stratovolcanoes and calderas.<br />
<br />
The climate of this territory will be predominantly be Csa, with a possibly more humid climate in the north akin to Cfa. As such, the flora of the territory will be that typical to the Mediterranean of the real world. The topography of the territory means that much of the interior is forested, with open fields and meadows being limited to the coastlines, valleys and flatter ridges.<br />
<br />
As a whole, I believe this extension of Navenna creates a more natural border that reflects the nation's maritime legacy.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{territory application human geography}}<br />
<br />
UL08g will be a part of Navenna, and thus shares Navenna's economic and political elements. Navenna is a liberal democracy and de jure a republic, but with the older institutions of a Doge and a council of oligarchs still in place as head of state and upper house respectively. In practice this works like a constitutional elective monarchy, where the Doge takes the role of the monarch. True executive power however is held by the prime minister, and legislative power is held by a democratically elected parliament. Mainstream politics of Navenna are dominated by center-right leaning parties, who seek further liberalization of the economy, austerity, and a progressive policy in social matters.<br />
<br />
Navenna is divided into cantons with a high degree of responsibility for local services, of which UL08g will form 5 new cantons. The population of UL08g is lower than the rest of Navenna due to its geography, and thus I believe it would be reasonable to increase the total population of Navenna from ~3 million to ~4 million. This will lower the overall population density of Navenna.<br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is one based on finance, with an industrial sector in steady decline due to competition from both powerful economies nearby (Plevia, Demirhan, Mazan) and countries on other continents where labor costs are low (CCA, Allendea, Tempeira). Thus the Navennese economy is focused on the financial sector, exploiting the nation's historical position as a center of commerce. Navenna can be classed as a conduit-type financial center, where the legal and tax systems enable foreign corporations to route funds from high tax locations to low tax locations, causing a disproportionate amount of economic activity in Navenna. These elements are conveyed on the map through both the presence of financial centers, declining industrial areas and brownfield. Some industries are still active, either through being catered to more niche markets, or by being subsidized due to their importance to the Navennese state. These elements will be present in UL08g, but overall this region of Navenna will be less developed due to a lack of significant natural resources and infrastructure enabling global exchange of capital.<br />
<br />
The mapping style of Navenna, which will be implemented in UL08g, mixes elements of various Italian regions, with a focus on Veneto, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna and Toscana. Special focus is given to Navenna's affinity for low-lying marshes and lagoons, with extensive irrigation and water diversion systems in rural areas. Thus, I also take limited inspiration from the Netherlands where this makes sense, as a way to convey a society where water management is important. Navennese urbanism takes inspiration from various eras of Italian urbanism - the canal cities of the Venetian and Marano lagoons, Milano's boulevards and grand circular piazzas, and the modernist suburbs of Rome and Bologna. An extra element added onto what is found currently in Navenna will be the Shelakh star forts, examples of which can currently be found in [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=17/42.96908/64.42681&layers=B Rosarà (mapped by stjur)] and [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=18/42.58386/64.26535&layers=B Migia (mapped by me).] The Shelakh civilization has also left ruins behind all over Navenna, conveying the maximum extent of their nation.<br />
<br />
<br />
{{territory application history and culture}}<br />
<br />
As a part of Navenna, the history and culture of the new territory will be much the same, but with a few key differences which will affect Navenna as a whole. As for Navenna, the history and culture is documented on the wiki, but as a summary, Navenna is a real world parallel to the Republic of Venice, exploring how such a nation would have evolved into modern times, and introducing my own original elements to make the culture unique. The Navennese language is based on Venetian (specifically Veneto Lagunare, the variant spoken around the Venetian lagoon), but also introduces minor conlang elements in the form of a unique orthography, spelling and vocabulary.<br />
<br />
I have been in discussion with [[User:Stjur]], the previous territory owner, about reusing his Shelakh culture for this territory, and I have been given permission to do so. The Shelakh culture is an attempt at bridging the gap between the Italic and Turkic cultures of the area, which is a cultural continuum with no real counterpart in real life. I have also both explicitly and implicitly intergrated Shelakh influences in previous mapping of Navenna, and replacing these influences with something else would be a not unsignificant change for Navenna. For these reasons, I wish to further develop the foundation that stjur has created here. My interpretation will inevitably diverge from stjur's source material as I develop the history and culture independently, but the basics will likely remain.<br />
<br />
As a summary, the Shelakhs are a bit of a cultural isolate, but trace their origins back to the Turquese peoples of Uletha. The Shelakh language is based on Etruscan with some Turkic elements thrown in. Since Etruscan is not a well documented langauge, the result is a fairly loose conlang. Stjur previously had the vision of UL07e (Mardoumakhstan) being an origin point of Turquese people in Uletha in general, and the Shelakhs possibly originated here as well. Cultural exchanges between proto-Shelakhs, Turquese tribes and proto-Plevians (possibly Nascilians?) resulted in the Shelakh civilization having a mix of both Turquese and Plevian influences, which their language aims to reflect. The Shelakh civilization was a dominant power in the region before Navenna's existence, centered around the city of Vispora. At some point this power dynamic would change with the rise of the Navennese republics, eventually leading to the integration of Shelakh lands into Navenna during the medieval ages, which would then lead to Navenna's uncontested rise as a maritime republic. In modern times, Navennese language and culture is dominant, with Navennese being enforced as the state language of the country and most inhabitants identifying as Navennese first. Shelakhs and Navennese peoples have intermixed and shared the same nation for a long time, which has significantly reduced the number of people self-identifying with Shelakh ethnicity. However, the legacy of the Shelakhs are visible both in the country's culture and on the map. Shelakh names adapted to the Navennese language are common all over UL08g and in parts of UL08h ("Navenna" itself is a name with Shelakh origins), and the southernmost cantons of Navenna may even be mapped with both Navennese and Shelakh names to reflect a sizable Shelakh minority. Relations between Navennese and Shelakhs are generally well, and many Shelakhs identify with a shared Navennese/Shelakh identity. Some more regionalist elements might be present, seeking cultural revival and greater autonomy for the Shelakh people. These forces will not be strong, but might play a role in Navennese politics.<br />
<br />

{{territory application past mapping}}<br />
<br />
I have been mapping Navenna for the last couple of years, and my style as a mapper has evolved over this time. Thus the quality of mapping in Navenna might vary, but it represents pretty well what I intend to continue in UL08g. Some examples follow below:<br />
* [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=17/43.06694/63.44775&layers=B The city center of Navenna] showcases typical Navennese urbanism of the medieval era. Navennese cities were often founded near water and thus integrate canals into its structure for transport. In cases where water is not present, city centers are more akin to [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=17/42.83930/63.86665&layers=B Piavia] and [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=17/43.35075/63.81850&layers=B Nostra Siora.]<br />
* [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=17/43.15131/63.41825&layers=B Bachiraga] and [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=17/43.10377/63.36244&layers=B Santa Isolde] showcase some more modern, peripheral urbanism. Mountainous urban mapping will likely have a large role in the extended territory, which I think [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/43.1460/63.3503&layers=B the coastal suburbs north of Navenna] showcase pretty well.<br />
* For industrial mapping, [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/44.1026/63.5653&layers=B Ascoso] and the [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=16/43.0778/63.4042&layers=B naval shipyards of Navenna] are good examples.<br />
* The volcano [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/42.2158/64.3720&layers=B Zsiforno] I think represents some of my best natural mapping. The [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/43.8291/63.5662&layers=B northern mountains] and [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/43.1348/63.8591&layers=B mixed forests of Alta Navenna] showcase more large scale natural mapping.<br />
* For transportation, [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/43.1065/63.3817&layers=B Navenna's first ring road] intends to capture a bit of the chaotic nature of Italian road engineering. [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=16/43.0914/63.5837&layers=B Navenna's main airport,] albeit unfinished, is a space of logistics I am very proud of.<br />

The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones de Suduleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formiddable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''asymmetrical integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are not obliged to take part in partial agreements, but are encouraged to opt in on a voluntary basis. Plurilateral Agreements are in most cases funded through cost sharing by participating states. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are cosidered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements funded by ASUN itself are only open to member states.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

The Assembly does not have the power to make binding laws, but can help develop, recommend, implement and evaluate national legislation of member states. In addition, the Interparliamentary Assembly acts as a platform for debate for member states and holds frequent dialogues and debate sessions on any topic it chooses. The Assembly has the power to appoint the position of Secretary General and judges for the South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights. Member states found to be in violation of ASUN’s statutes can have their delegation suspended or voting rights removed. The Assembly includes the delegations of each member states’ parliament, and seats are distributed proportionally according to country population. It is the responsibility of the member state that the delegation is representative of the national parliament. Observer and partner states also have the opportunity to send a delegation, but lack the right to vote.<br />

Located in Portat e Arta, {{Malesoria}}.<br><br><br />
The South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights is the international court of the Association of South Ulethan Nations, whose mandate includes enforcing the contents of the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights to which every member state is a party. The court has jurisdiction amongst all member states of ASUN. The court hears applications from individuals, groups, organizations or entire states and makes judgments regarding the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights or any of ASUN’s optional treaties and conventions when applicable for involved parties. The court may also, upon the request of the Committee of Ministers or the Interparliamentary Assembly, issue advisory opinions regarding the interpretation of ASUN treaties and conventions. Judges are elected by majority vote by the Interparliamentary Assembly for a non-renewable eight-year term.<br />

Two of these are obligatory for ASUN members to ratify; namely the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS) and the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights (UCFR).<br />

===Member states===<br />
All AN member states located in southern Uletha are eligible for membership in ASUN. States are required to ratify the Foundational Statute of the Association of South Ulethan Nations as well as the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights in order to become a member. Full members enjoy all perks of ASUN membership, such as the right to raise issues and set the agenda of meetings, submit and vote on proposals, raise points of order and circulate documents. ASUN institutions can only be hosted in ASUN member states. <br />
<br />
Current member states include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* {{Aden}}<br />
* [[Almahrus]]<br />
* {{Antharia}}<br />

<br />
===Partners===<br />
States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />

==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

| intro = '''Navenna''', officially the '''Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Repùblega de Navenna''), also known as the '''Most Serene Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Serenìsima Repùblega Navennata''), is a small sovereign state in southwestern Uletha bordering {{Plevia}} in the north, {{relation|182490|Mardoumakhstan}} in the east and {{relation|182491|Costa dei Scialecchi}} in the southeast. Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Sità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a quarter of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled in the 6th or 7th century by immigrants from the north, possibly Nascilians. The city began as an independent trading post for trade routes between Plevian city states in the north and states in the southeast, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana, its main trading rival. In 1289, Navenna captured the city of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and annexed its territory. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century, expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Nāviena”. The name is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "ship". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in Navenna. The name likely refers to the location of the city, being reachable only by boat.<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The land itself has been home to a multitude of tribes and minor kingdoms, with highly unstable borders. The Navennese lagoon is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, long before the founding of Navenna itself, by smaller groups who primarily sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. There are two mainstream theories among researchers regarding when the city itself was founded. The first theory posits that migrants from [[Plevia]], possibly Nascilians, established a trading post in the lagoon in the 6th or 7th century, which then grew to become a city due to migration from the surrounding lagoon and mainland Navenna. This is supported by Nascilian texts detailing efforts to establish such trading posts along the northern Mediterranean coast, but no evidence exists to suggest the Navennese lagoon was the location of one. The second theory, which is based on local tradition, suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. Local tradition posits that the original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />
[[File:Procession of the Doge in Venice MET DP837489.jpg|left|300px|thumb|''Asénsa de Dòxe Filadelfo Nùnxo'' by Jùlio Coiro]]<br />
====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the Republic of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland; laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw a slow expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakhi coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to submit to Navennese rule, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. Initially the Shelakhs refused, which resulted in a short war and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Ashelspoor}} (Navennese: ''Giannina''). The Shelakhs would surrender a few months after and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà, integrating much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast into the growing Navennese maritime empire. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. After a few years of establishing Navennese rule and eliminating rebellious elements, the Shelakhs were granted a degree of home rule by the Doge in 1129, establishing the canton of Shelakhia (Navennese: Šelachia). The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />
===Early Modern Era===<br />
====Navennese Renaissance====<br />
====Decline====<br />
===Late Modern Era===<br />
====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 1% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />
<!-- the council suggests the doge, the assembly approves the doge --><br />
===Political parties===<br />
Any one party has a very slim chance of gaining power alone, and no party has ever won a majority of seats in any election. Therefore, it is political praxis that parties work with each other and form coalition governments. Traditionally, power in Navenna has been held by either center-right coalitions lead by liberal conservative Christic Democratic Party (''Partido Christico Democratico''), or center-left coalitions lead by Social Democrats - Workers' Party of Navenna (''Sociàldemocratisi – Partido dei Laorànti de Navenna''). The liberal Republican Party (''Partido Repùblegano'') is a third major political party that has supported both center-right and center-left governments. Other major political parties include liberal Progressive Alliance (''Aleanxa Progresiva''), national conservative New Democracy for Navenna (''Nóva Democrasìa par Navenna'') and socialist United Left (''Senèstro Unìo'').<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />

===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 3.2 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one third of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 280 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

===Music===<br />
[[File:16th-century unknown painters - Portrait of Torquato Tasso - WGA23945.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Portrait of Ciro Nenci]]<br />
[[File:CharlieAtomColorFest2019.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Ƚoris Ventura performing at NDA 2019]]<br />
Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
====Dishes====<br />
Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />
* ''Briozsiò'' - a buttery and flaky pastry made from a yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar to Franquese croissants but more compact.<br />
* ''Tiramisù'' - a layered mocha-flavored cake.<br />
* ''Bussolà'' - lightly lemon-flavored and buttery cookies from {{node|203528413|Migia}}.<br />
* ''Fritoƚe'' - small, round fried doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and occasionally filled with fruit, custard or chocolate.<br />
* ''Sorbetto'' - a frozen dessert with Turquese origins, made from frozen fruit juice, purée and wine, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Typically served with berries or with Plevian ''gelato''.<br />
* ''{{relation|315043|Nocolàt}}'' - a hazelnut and cocoa spread commonly used as an ingredient or topping for various desserts. Originally from Mirùn, it is now produced in various locations around the world.<br />

The '''ASUN Nuclear Research Center Project''' ''(unofficial name)'' is a major project within the collaborative sphere of [[ASUN]]. It's primary inspiration is the CERN organization and research center in Geneva, while also taking inspiration from similar centers such as SLAC, Fermilab (United States), DESY (Germany), ESS (Sweden), and others.<br />
<br />
Although its primary function as a research center is the particle accelerator, it will also feature a broad spectrum of research complexes and facilities spanning into other areas as well. Alongside that, it would also be the drive force for other related or semi-related projects, like education centers for example.<br />
<br />
The project is thought to be created on the border tripoint of {{Antharia}}, [[Niscavo]] and {{Qennes}}, roughly in [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=11/39.9548/84.3565&layers=B this area]. It was initiated by users {{User|Bixelkoven}}, {{User|clik}} and {{User|stjur}}.<br />
<br />
All mappers, particularly other ASUN members, are welcome to add to the discussions.<br />
<br />
== History & lore ==<br />
''Here we will discuss the reasoning and history of such a project; why it was created, how did it work through time, and anything that may influence the mapping of the project''<br />
===Name===<br />
What should the official name for the project be? It's a minor detail overall but I personally think a nice, catchy acronym is always a plus when creating names for these international projects. ante44 suggested ''NARSU'' to me, ''Nuclear and Atomic Research of South Uletha'', which I thought was a concise name. Feel free to add other suggestions that we can discuss. [[User:Timboh|Timboh]] ([[User talk:Timboh|talk]]) 19:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
===Origin===<br />
Where did the project originate from? The most notable real life counterpart, CERN, was initiated by a group of countries with the clear intent for it to become a major research project, so it had a fairly large scope at its inception. Alternatively, our project might have grown more "organically", beginning as a local laboratory in the region. In the latter case, the project might have begun as a local project in Antharia, Qennes and/or Niscavo, and after a while would have grown in scope, gained international partners, and eventually "absorbed" into ASUN. What does the rest of the community think? [[User:Timboh|Timboh]] ([[User talk:Timboh|talk]]) 19:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== List of facilities and internal projects ==<br />
''Here we will list all the facilities, centers, mini-projects that will be featured within the whole scope of this project. The real world centers like CERN have a large amount of facilities, so this list is imagined to be quite large. It is suggested that all listed items should be mapped eventually.''<br />

| intro = '''Navenna''', officially the '''Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Repùblega de Navenna''), also known as the '''Most Serene Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Serenìsima Repùblega Navennata''), is a small sovereign state in southwestern Uletha bordering {{Plevia}} in the north, {{relation|182490|Mardoumakhstan}} in the east and {{relation|182491|Costa dei Scialecchi}} in the southeast. Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Sità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a quarter of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled in the 6th or 7th century by immigrants from the north, possibly Nascilians. The city began as an independent trading post for trade routes between Plevian city states in the north and states in the southeast, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana, its main trading rival. In 1289, Navenna captured the city of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and annexed its territory. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century, expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Nāviena”. The name is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "ship". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in Navenna. The name likely refers to the location of the city, being reachable only by boat.<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The land itself has been home to a multitude of tribes and minor kingdoms, with highly unstable borders. The Navennese lagoon is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, long before the founding of Navenna itself, by smaller groups who primarily sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. There are two mainstream theories among researchers regarding when the city itself was founded. The first theory posits that migrants from [[Plevia]], possibly Nascilians, established a trading post in the lagoon in the 6th or 7th century, which then grew to become a city due to migration from the surrounding lagoon and mainland Navenna. This is supported by Nascilian texts detailing efforts to establish such trading posts along the northern Mediterranean coast, but no evidence exists to suggest the Navennese lagoon was the location of one. The second theory, which is based on local tradition, suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. Local tradition posits that the original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />

====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the Republic of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland; laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw a slow expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakhi coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to submit to Navennese rule, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. Initially the Shelakhs refused, which resulted in a short war and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Ashelspoor}} (Navennese: ''Giannina''). The Shelakhs would surrender a few months after and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà, integrating much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast into the growing Navennese maritime empire. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. After a few years of establishing Navennese rule and eliminating rebellious elements, the Shelakhs were granted a degree of home rule by the Doge in 1129, establishing the canton of Shelakhia (Navennese: Šelachia). The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />

====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Climate===<br />
Navenna has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa), characterized by hot and humid summers. Winters are mild and are marked by high precipitation. The country receives between 2,200 and 2,900 hours of sunshine on average every year, with an average of 9-12 hours per day in the summer, and 4-6 hours in the winter.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 1% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />
<!-- the council suggests the doge, the assembly approves the doge --><br />
===Political parties===<br />
Any one party has a very slim chance of gaining power alone, and no party has ever won a majority of seats in any election. Therefore, it is political praxis that parties work with each other and form coalition governments. Traditionally, power in Navenna has been held by either center-right coalitions lead by liberal conservative Christic Democratic Party (''Partido Christico Democratico''), or center-left coalitions lead by Social Democrats - Workers' Party of Navenna (''Sociàldemocratisi – Partido dei Laorànti de Navenna''). The liberal Republican Party (''Partido Repùblegano'') is a third major political party that has supported both center-right and center-left governments. Other major political parties include liberal Progressive Alliance (''Aleanxa Progresiva''), national conservative New Democracy for Navenna (''Nóva Democrasìa par Navenna'') and socialist United Left (''Senèstro Unìo'').<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />
<br />
===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 3.2 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one third of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 280 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
====Dishes====<br />
Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />
* ''Briozsiò'' - a buttery and flaky pastry made from a yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar to Franquese croissants but more compact.<br />
* ''Tiramisù'' - a layered mocha-flavored cake.<br />
* ''Bussolà'' - lightly lemon-flavored and buttery cookies from {{node|203528413|Migia}}.<br />
* ''Fritoƚe'' - small, round fried doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and occasionally filled with fruit, custard or chocolate.<br />
* ''Sorbetto'' - a frozen dessert with Turquese origins, made from frozen fruit juice, purée and wine, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Typically served with berries or with Plevian ''gelato''.<br />
* ''{{relation|315043|Nocolàt}}'' - a hazelnut and cocoa spread commonly used as an ingredient or topping for various desserts. Originally from Mirùn, it is now produced in various locations around the world.<br />

The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones de Suduleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formiddable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''asymmetrical integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are not obliged to take part in partial agreements, but are encouraged to opt in on a voluntary basis. Plurilateral Agreements are in most cases funded through cost sharing by participating states. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are cosidered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements funded by ASUN itself are only open to member states.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

'''Interparliamentary Assembly (IAASUN)'''<br><br />
''Advisory and deliberative''<br><br />
Located in Castellán.<br><br><br />
The Interparliamentary Assembly of the Association of South Ulethan Nations is the parliamentary arm of ASUN. The overarching goal of the Interparliamentary Assembly is the dissemination of best practices and harmonization of national laws across member states. The Assembly does not have the power to make binding laws, but can help develop, recommend, implement and evaluate national legislation of member states. In addition, the Interparliamentary Assembly acts as a platform for debate for member states and holds frequent dialogues and debate sessions on any topic it chooses. The Assembly has the power to appoint the position of Secretary General and judges for the South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights. Member states found to be in violation of ASUN’s statutes can have their delegation suspended or voting rights removed. The Assembly includes the delegations of each member states’ parliament, and seats are distributed proportionally according to country population. It is the responsibility of the member state that the delegation is representative of the national parliament. Observer and partner states also have the opportunity to send a delegation, but lack the right to vote.<br />

States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />
<br />
Current partners include:<br />
* {{Mauretia}}<br />
* [[Egalian Union]]<br />
<br />
===Observers===<br />
States with an interest in southern Ulethan affairs, and states located in or adjacent to Uletha, are eligible for observer status. Supranational entities all over the world may also apply for observer status. Observers have the right to attend meetings, sessions and activities of ASUN institutions, but they may not speak unless invited to do so. The role of observer is intended to provide states with an enhanced insight into ASUN's activities. <br />
<br />
Current observers include:<br />

==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

| intro = '''Navenna''', officially the '''Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Repùblega de Navenna''), also known as the '''Most Serene Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Serenìsima Repùblega Navennata''), is a small sovereign state in southwestern Uletha bordering {{Plevia}} in the north, {{relation|182490|Mardoumakhstan}} in the east and {{relation|182491|Costa dei Scialecchi}} in the southeast. Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Sità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a quarter of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled in the 6th or 7th century by immigrants from the north, possibly Nascilians. The city began as an independent trading post for trade routes between Plevian city states in the north and states in the southeast, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana, its main trading rival. In 1289, Navenna captured the city of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and annexed its territory. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century, expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Nāviena”. The name is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "ship". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in Navenna. The name likely refers to the location of the city, being reachable only by boat.<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The land itself has been home to a multitude of tribes and minor kingdoms, with highly unstable borders. The Navennese lagoon is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, long before the founding of Navenna itself, by smaller groups who primarily sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. There are two mainstream theories among researchers regarding when the city itself was founded. The first theory posits that migrants from [[Plevia]], possibly Nascilians, established a trading post in the lagoon in the 6th or 7th century, which then grew to become a city due to migration from the surrounding lagoon and mainland Navenna. This is supported by Nascilian texts detailing efforts to establish such trading posts along the northern Mediterranean coast, but no evidence exists to suggest the Navennese lagoon was the location of one. The second theory, which is based on local tradition, suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. Local tradition posits that the original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />
[[File:Procession of the Doge in Venice MET DP837489.jpg|left|300px|thumb|''Asénsa de Dòxe Filadelfo Nùnxo'' by Jùlio Coiro]]<br />
====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the Republic of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland; laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw a slow expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakhi coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to submit to Navennese rule, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. Initially the Shelakhs refused, which resulted in a short war and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Ashelspoor}} (Navennese: ''Giannina''). The Shelakhs would surrender a few months after and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà, integrating much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast into the growing Navennese maritime empire. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. After a few years of establishing Navennese rule and eliminating rebellious elements, the Shelakhs were granted a degree of home rule by the Doge in 1129, establishing the canton of Shelakhia (Navennese: Šelachia). The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />

===Late Modern Era===<br />
====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 1% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />
<!-- the council suggests the doge, the assembly approves the doge --><br />
===Political parties===<br />
Any one party has a very slim chance of gaining power alone, and no party has ever won a majority of seats in any election. Therefore, it is political praxis that parties work with each other and form coalition governments. Traditionally, power in Navenna has been held by either center-right coalitions lead by liberal conservative Christic Democratic Party (''Partido Christico Democratico''), or center-left coalitions lead by Social Democrats - Workers' Party of Navenna (''Sociàldemocratisi – Partido dei Laorànti de Navenna''). The liberal Republican Party (''Partido Repùblegano'') is a third major political party that has supported both center-right and center-left governments. Other major political parties include liberal Progressive Alliance (''Aleanxa Progresiva''), national conservative New Democracy for Navenna (''Nóva Democrasìa par Navenna'') and socialist United Left (''Senèstro Unìo'').<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />
<br />
===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 3.2 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one third of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 280 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

===Music===<br />
[[File:16th-century unknown painters - Portrait of Torquato Tasso - WGA23945.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Portrait of Ciro Nenci]]<br />
[[File:CharlieAtomColorFest2019.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Ƚoris Ventura performing at NDA 2019]]<br />
Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />

Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />
* ''Briozsiò'' - a buttery and flaky pastry made from a yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar to Franquese croissants but more compact.<br />
* ''Tiramisù'' - a layered mocha-flavored cake.<br />
* ''Bussolà'' - lightly lemon-flavored and buttery cookies from {{node|203528413|Migia}}.<br />
* ''Fritoƚe'' - small, round fried doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and occasionally filled with fruit, custard or chocolate.<br />
* ''Sorbetto'' - a frozen dessert with Turquese origins, made from frozen fruit juice, purée and wine, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Typically served with berries or with Plevian ''gelato''.<br />
* ''{{relation|315043|Nocolàt}}'' - a hazelnut and cocoa spread commonly used as an ingredient or topping for various desserts. Originally from Mirùn, it is now produced in various locations around the world.<br />

| intro = '''Navenna''', officially the '''Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Repùblega de Navenna''), also known as the '''Most Serene Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Serenìsima Repùblega Navennata''), is a small sovereign state in southwestern Uletha bordering {{Plevia}} in the north, {{relation|182490|Mardoumakhstan}} in the east and {{relation|182491|Costa dei Scialecchi}} in the southeast. Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Sità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a quarter of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled in the 6th or 7th century by immigrants from the north, possibly Nascilians. The city began as an independent trading post for trade routes between Plevian city states in the north and states in the southeast, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana, its main trading rival. In 1289, Navenna captured the city of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and annexed its territory. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century, expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Nāviena”. The name is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "ship". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in Navenna. The name likely refers to the location of the city, being reachable only by boat.<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The land itself has been home to a multitude of tribes and minor kingdoms, with highly unstable borders. The Navennese lagoon is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, long before the founding of Navenna itself, by smaller groups who primarily sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. There are two mainstream theories among researchers regarding when the city itself was founded. The first theory posits that migrants from [[Plevia]], possibly Nascilians, established a trading post in the lagoon in the 6th or 7th century, which then grew to become a city due to migration from the surrounding lagoon and mainland Navenna. This is supported by Nascilian texts detailing efforts to establish such trading posts along the northern Mediterranean coast, but no evidence exists to suggest the Navennese lagoon was the location of one. The second theory, which is based on local tradition, suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. Local tradition posits that the original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />
[[File:Procession of the Doge in Venice MET DP837489.jpg|left|300px|thumb|''Asénsa de Dòxe Filadelfo Nùnxo'' by Jùlio Coiro]]<br />
====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the Republic of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland; laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw a slow expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakhi coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to submit to Navennese rule, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. Initially the Shelakhs refused, which resulted in a short war and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Ashelspoor}} (Navennese: ''Giannina''). The Shelakhs would surrender a few months after and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà, integrating much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast into the growing Navennese maritime empire. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. After a few years of establishing Navennese rule and eliminating rebellious elements, the Shelakhs were granted a degree of home rule by the Doge in 1129, establishing the canton of Shelakhia (Navennese: Šelachia). The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />

===Late Modern Era===<br />
====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 2% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />
<br />
===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 3.2 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one third of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 280 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
====Meal structure====<br />
[[File:Italian Culture.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A typical sweet Navennese breakfast, served with ''briozsiò'' and coffee.]]<br />
Meal structure in Navenna is similar to the standard southwest Ulethan meal structure, but with some distinctive features. Notably, the three larger meals of the day, breakfast (''coƚasión''), lunch (''disnàr'') and supper (''zséna''), are usually eaten a few hours later than what is typical in other Ulethan countries. <br />
<br />
Breakfast usually involves smaller portions and has a larger emphasis on sweet dishes rather than savory dishes. Breakfast is traditionally served with baked goods like biscuits or bread such as fiƚón or Plevian ciabatta. Slices of bread are usually spread with butter or jam, and more recently, chocolate spreads. Seasonal fruits and berries are a common side in breakfast. Occasionally breakfast include pastries, such as ''briozsiò'' or ''sfoƚiatela''. Meals are eaten together with coffee, tea or milk. Fruit juices are not prt of the traditional Navennese breakfast but have become more common in modern times. Sometimes breakfast is omitted entirely, and is substituted with a larger late-morning meal known as ''ùndexenette'', similar to elevenses or brunch. Ùndexenette can include more savory dishes in addition to traditional breakfast dishes, with a larger emphasis on cold cuts, salami, cheeses and seasonal vegetables.<br />
<br />
Lunch is considered the most important meal of the day; outside of special holidays it is also the largest meal. The common everyday lunch usually consists of only one or two courses, but can consist of up to five courses during special occasions. Meats, pasta, bread and fresh vegetables are common ingredients in Navennese lunch meals. While lunch usually has an emphasis on hot meals, it is a common custom in Navenna to have a cold course during hot summer days. Lunch is traditionally served with wine, cider or sparkling water. Supper in Navenna is relatively light, rarely consisting of more than one course. The exception is during holidays, where supper is usually the most important meal of the day, following the same meal structure as a full lunch.<br />
<br />
====Ingredients====<br />
[[File:Fish market in Lisbon 1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Fish is an integral part of Navennese cuisine.]]<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. ''Fiƚón''is a traditional yeast-leavened bread, and is the most common everyday bread. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
====Dishes====<br />
Navennese dishes are generally simple in preparation, with an emphasis on fresh, high quality ingredients rather than complex techniques for preparation. Notable foods include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

Navenna has a long tradition of making desserts and pastries. Laminated dough, a technique originally brought to Navenna by merchants have become a speciality among Navennese bakers. Notable baked goods and desserts include:<br />
* ''Sfoƚiatela'' - a shell-shaped layered pastry, made with various fillings such as jam, vanilla custard or chocolate cream.<br />
* ''Briozsiò'' - a buttery and flaky pastry made from a yeast-leavened laminated dough, similar to Franquese croissants but more compact.<br />
* ''Tiramisù'' - a layered mocha-flavored cake.<br />
* ''Bussolà'' - lightly lemon-flavored and buttery cookies from {{node|203528413|Migia}}.<br />
* ''Fritoƚe'' - small, round fried doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and occasionally filled with fruit, custard or chocolate.<br />
* ''Sorbetto'' - a frozen dessert with Turquese origins, made from frozen fruit juice, purée and wine, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Typically served with berries or with Plevian ''gelato''.<br />
* ''{{relation|315043|Nocolàt}}'' - a hazelnut and cocoa spread commonly used as an ingredient or topping for various desserts. Originally from Mirùn, it is now produced in various locations around the world.<br />

The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones de Suduleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formiddable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''asymmetrical integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are not obliged to take part in partial agreements, but are encouraged to opt in on a voluntary basis. Plurilateral Agreements are in most cases funded through cost sharing by participating states. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are cosidered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements funded by ASUN itself are only open to member states.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

Located in Castellán.<br><br><br />
The Interparliamentary Assembly of the Association of South Ulethan Nations is the parliamentary arm of ASUN. The overarching goal of the Interparliamentary Assembly is the dissemination of best practices and harmonization of national laws across member states. The Assembly does not have the power to make binding laws, but can help develop, recommend, implement and evaluate national legislation of member states. In addition, the Interparliamentary Assembly acts as a platform for debate for member states and holds frequent dialogues and debate sessions on any topic it chooses. The Assembly has the power to appoint the position of Secretary General and judges for the South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights. Member states found to be in violation of ASUN’s statutes can have their delegation suspended or voting rights removed. The Assembly includes the delegations of each member states’ parliament, and seats are distributed proportionally according to country population. It is the responsibility of the member state that the delegation is representative of the national parliament. Observer and partner states also have the opportunity to send a delegation, but lack the right to vote.<br />

==Treaties and conventions==<br />
ASUN also has a number of treaties and conventions that, unlike plurilateral agreements, do not have a physical institution associated with them. Two of these are obligatory for ASUN members to ratify; namely the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS) and the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights (UCFR).<br />

===Member states===<br />
All AN member states located in southern Uletha are eligible for membership in ASUN. States are required to ratify the Foundational Statute of the Association of South Ulethan Nations as well as the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights in order to become a member. Full members enjoy all perks of ASUN membership, such as the right to raise issues and set the agenda of meetings, submit and vote on proposals, raise points of order and circulate documents. ASUN institutions can only be hosted in ASUN member states. <br />
<br />
Current member states include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* {{Aden}}<br />
* [[Almahrus]]<br />
* {{Antharia}}<br />

* {{Selonia and Flamain}}<br />
</div><br />
<br />
===Partners===<br />
States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />
<br />
Current partners include:<br />
* {{Mauretia}}<br />
* [[Egalian Union]]<br />
<br />
===Observers===<br />
States with an interest in southern Ulethan affairs, and states located in or adjacent to Uletha, are eligible for observer status. Supranational entities all over the world may also apply for observer status. Observers have the right to attend meetings, sessions and activities of ASUN institutions, but they may not speak unless invited to do so. The role of observer is intended to provide states with an enhanced insight into ASUN's activities. <br />
<br />
Current observers include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* [[Antarephian Coalition]]<br />

==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

<br />
The '''Association of South Ulethan Nations''' (Castellanese: ''Asociación de Naciones de Suduleta''; Mazanic: ''جمعية دول جنوب ليثان''; Plevian: ''Associazione delle Nazioni dell'Ulezia Meridionale''; Turquese: ''Güney Uleta Milletler Birliği''), better known by its Ingerish acronym '''ASUN''', is a regional intergovernmental organization in Uletha. The organization was formally established on the 15th of March 1961, with the goal of promoting peace and security, economic cooperation and prosperity, and social and cultural development. The organization has its roots in various treaties between states in the Mediterranean and Iviran Coast regions of Uletha, but has since expanded its scope significantly with a number of permanent institutions all over South Uletha. <br />
<br />
The most important statutory bodies of ASUN include the ''Secretariat of the Association of South Ulethan Nations'' headed by the Secretary General, the ''Committee of Ministers'' which comprises the foreign ministers from each member state, the ''Interparliamentary Assembly'' which comprises national parliamentarians from all member states, and the ''South Ulethan Court of Fundamental Rights''. ASUN cannot make binding laws, but it has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states.<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The region where ASUN is active is a cultural crossroad between Romatia, Turquan Uletha and Ghetoria. The founding member states of ASUN were united not only by their geographical proximity and diplomatic ties, but also a shared history of trade and cultural exchange. Ambitions of greater unity among the states of South Uletha have existed for most of the 20th century, with varying impact across countries. These ambitions have been partially attributed to a fear of [[Suria|Surian]] expansionism and the spread of communist revolutions in Uletha. In the aftermath of the Great War, much of Egalia had entered into Suria's sphere of influence. As a consequence, the post-war period saw several attempts at further integration among many capitalist states south of Suria, to form a united front against communism. Most of these attempts were short-lived due to due to a lack of political consensus among states of the region and a disinterest of many West Ulethan powers to partake in these organizations. A few saw success; among these was the ''Mediterranean Free Trade Area'' (''MEDIFTA'') founded in 1952. While only a trade bloc for most of its short history, it lay the foundations of cooperation amongst the states of the Mediterranean. MEDIFTA would later evolve into the ''Mediterranean Community for Security and Prosperity'' (''MCSP''), founded in 1956 by the member states of MEDIFTA. The Iviran Coast would see a similar development during that period, with increasing cooperation between the states facing both Suria in the north and the [[Demirhan Empire]] in the south.<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
On the 15th of March 1961, the Association of South Ulethan Nations was officially created through the Osianopoli Declaration and the ratification of the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS), signed by the foreign ministers of the founding member states. In addition to the core institutions of the organization, the declaration outlined the framework of a future South Ulethan defensive pact; the final form of which had yet to be agreed upon by the founding members. While the MCSP would be declared defunct and its institutions repurposed for ASUN immediately after its dissolution, MEDIFTA would continue to exist as a separate organization until 1986 when it would be fully integrated into ASUN as a plurilateral agreement.<br />
<br />
Following the Social Crisis of 1964 in Suria and the founding of the [[Assembly of Nations]] in 1966, the tense diplomatic climate in Southwestern Uletha would de-escalate. The new geopolitical reality of Uletha would mean that ASUN's original plans for a common defence policy would never be realized. Instead, the scope of the organization would shift to focus on economic and social issues rather than safety and defence.<br />
<br />
==Aims==<br />
ASUN is founded on four principles that outline the aims of the organization:<br />
* Promote peace, security and stability in the region through the renunciation of threat or use of force and the settlement of disputes through peaceful manners.<br />
* Developing prosperous and resilient economies through sustainable economic growth and economic competitiveness, free and fair trade, and increased economic integration.<br />
* Promote scientific and technological progress through collaboration in the fields of education, training and research.<br />
* Promote social progress and cultural development in order to strengthen equality and cherish the unique cultural heritage of the community.<br />
<br />
ASUN has its own legislative and executive powers through its institutions; these powers are independent and subordinate to the national legislatures and governments of the organization's member states. Therefore, ASUN cannot make binding laws and enforce them independently of its member states. Instead, member states commit themselves to common goals, political decisions and policies through the use of treaties, conventions and agreements developed and agreed upon by all member states through the institutions of ASUN. ASUN can be seen as a platform through which members discuss, shape and implement international law. ASUN has the power to enforce international conventions and treaties ratified by ASUN member states. In many cases, common political decisions and policies are agreed upon through deliberation and implemented on a national level only, in which case ASUN has no power to enforce those policies.<br />
<br />
ASUN has been described by political scientists as having an "incrementalist agenda"; while ASUN has a number of stated goals the organization rarely implements larger goal-driven strategic plans or radical policies. Instead, ASUN follows a more problem-based methodology where smaller policy changes are implemented over time. The use of this method of working has been attributed to an ambition to avoid top-down approaches and secure consensus amongst member states. In a speech during the 1966 ASUN Summit, former President of the Committee of Ministers Alejo Durán asserted that solidarity amongst ASUN members wouldn't be achieved through "promises of radical change, but through solutions to immediate problems and concrete results". There have been notable exceptions to this, such as the plans for a South Ulethan defence pact as outlined in the Osianopoli Declaration, or the current but yet to be realized plans for the Single Ulethan Market (SUM).<br />
<br />
==Achievements==<br />
As a geopolitical entity, ASUN is sometimes regarded as a regional power in South Uletha, and holds an important role in regional and global diplomacy, politics, economy and trade. Together, the nations of ASUN make up a diverse and formiddable trade bloc rivalling other regional powers of Uletha. Proponents of ASUN view the organization as a possible counterweight against other regional powers with an interest in South Uletha, such as Sathria and Suria. ASUN allows for coordination and cooperation between many smaller nations, who gain influence and leverage from their membership in ASUN as part of a larger geopolitical bloc. Critics of ASUN regard this viewpoint as unrealistic, on the grounds that ASUN lack the necessary coordination and institutions to work against powerful external interests. The de facto impact of ASUN in global politics is an ongoing subject of debate.<br />
<br />
ASUN is regarded as having an important role in the democratization process of states in South Uletha during the second half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
An important and unique pillar of ASUN's organization is ''asymmetrical integration'' - member states are allowed a great deal of freedom regarding which parts of the organization they wish to partake in. As a result, the obligations of each member state vary greatly depending on their degree of integration in ASUN. The structure of ASUN is very dynamic and facilitates the establishment and dissolution of institutions.<br />
<br />
ASUN consists of two types of institutions; ''official bodies'' and ''plurilateral agreements''. The official bodies make up the main structures of governance in ASUN, setting the agenda and managing the activities of the organization itself. ASUN’s plurilateral Agreements are semi-autonomous institutions organized by or in association with ASUN. Members of ASUN are not obliged to take part in partial agreements, but are encouraged to opt in on a voluntary basis. Plurilateral Agreements are in most cases funded through cost sharing by participating states. Observer and partner states are allowed to partake in any plurilateral agreement that is funded through cost sharing. Observer and partner states that ratify plurilateral agreements are cosidered full members of those institutions only, and are obliged to partake in the funding of those institutions. Plurilateral agreements funded by ASUN itself are only open to member states.<br />
<br />
Outside of ASUN's permanent activities through its institutions, the heads of government of all member states meet during the annual ASUN Summit to discuss current economic, political, security, and socio-cultural policy issues. The summit is usually held over the course of a few days, and the location varies from year to year. Many landmark decisions of ASUN have been developed during an ASUN Summit. ASUN is also involved in a number of partnerships with non-ASUN member states. ASUN is one of the organizers of the ''Ulethan Forum'', a pan-Ulethan summit held annually with the intention of fostering dialogue and diplomacy, building confidence and strengthening cooperation among states on the Ulethan continent. ASUN also participates in the ''Tarephia-Uletha Partnership'' (TUP), another forum which aims to foster cooperation and dialogue between the countries of Tarephia and Uletha.<br />

The Interparliamentary Assembly of the Association of South Ulethan Nations is the parliamentary arm of ASUN. The overarching goal of the Interparliamentary Assembly is the dissemination of best practices and harmonization of national laws across member states. The Assembly does not have the power to make binding laws, but can help develop, recommend, implement and evaluate national legislation of member states. In addition, the Interparliamentary Assembly acts as a platform for debate for member states and holds frequent dialogues and debate sessions on any topic it chooses. The Assembly has the power to appoint the position of Secretary General and judges for the South Uletha Court of Fundamental Rights. Member states found to be in violation of ASUN’s statutes can have their delegation suspended or voting rights removed. The Assembly includes the delegations of each member states’ parliament, and seats are distributed proportionally according to country population. It is the responsibility of the member state that the delegation is representative of the national parliament. Observer and partner states also have the opportunity to send a delegation, but lack the right to vote.<br />

==Treaties and conventions==<br />
ASUN also has a number of treaties and conventions that, unlike plurilateral agreements, do not have a physical institution associated with them. Two of these are obligatory for ASUN members to ratify; namely the Association of South Ulethan Nations Foundational Statute (ASUNFS) and the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights (UCFR).<br />

===Member states===<br />
All AN member states located in southern Uletha are eligible for membership in ASUN. States are required to ratify the Foundational Statute of the Association of South Ulethan Nations as well as the Ulethan Charter of Fundamental Rights in order to become a member. Full members enjoy all perks of ASUN membership, such as the right to raise issues and set the agenda of meetings, submit and vote on proposals, raise points of order and circulate documents. ASUN institutions can only be hosted in ASUN member states. <br />
<br />
Current member states include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* {{Aden}}<br />
* [[Almahrus]]<br />
* {{Antharia}}<br />

* [[Castellán]]<br />
* [[Challay and St Andrews]]<br />

* {{Mitras}}<br />
* {{Navenna}}<br />
* [[Niscavo]]<br />
* {{Plevia}}<br />
* {{Qennes}}<br />
* {{Selonia and Flamain}}<br />
</div><br />
<br />
===Partners===<br />
States that are not full members of ASUN, but partake in some plurilateral agreements, are eligible for partner status. Supranational entities with an interest in partaking in plurilateral agreements may also apply for partner status. Partners are given the same perks as observer states, including some enhanced rights to reflect their desire for further cooperation on certain matters. Partner states are given the right of reply in matters that are of importance to them, but they are not allowed to otherwise raise questions or set the agenda of any ASUN discussions. Partners that partake in plurilateral agreements however are treated as full members of the agreements they have ratified, and as such are expected to contribute to the funding of those institutions. It is common for future ASUN members to have partner status during their ascension process. States wanting to participate in ASUN activities while at the same time preserve a higher degree of neutrality and sovereignty may choose to become partners rather than full members. <br />
<br />
Current partners include:<br />
* {{Mauretia}}<br />
* [[Egalian Union]]<br />
<br />
===Observers===<br />
States with an interest in southern Ulethan affairs, and states located in or adjacent to Uletha, are eligible for observer status. Supranational entities all over the world may also apply for observer status. Observers have the right to attend meetings, sessions and activities of ASUN institutions, but they may not speak unless invited to do so. The role of observer is intended to provide states with an enhanced insight into ASUN's activities. <br />
<br />
Current observers include:<br />
<div style="column-count:4;-moz-column-count:4;-webkit-column-count:4"><br />
* [[Antarephian Coalition]]<br />
* {{Alora}}<br />
* [[Chara]] (constituent entity of {{Suria}})<br />
* [[Egani]]<br />
* [[Gaskús]] (constituent entity of [[Ruoguovvás]])<br />
* {{Geklinia-Dregolesia}}<br />

* {{Izaland}}<br />
* {{Kara}}<br />
</div><br />
<br />
==Controversies==<br />
Many politicians have accused ASUN of not having any meaningful purpose or clear aim. In particular, the Interparliamentary Assembly has been the object of repeated criticism for not having any effective power and being a “political theater”, with critics positing that the Committee of Ministers being the only body with actual authority. Issues have been raised regarding the inability of the Court of Fundamental Rights to effectively pursue violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum often accuse ASUN of having a neoliberal agenda furthering the interests of the economic and political elite of the region. <br />
<br />
Funding of ASUN institutions are a major point of contention for ASUN member states. A consequence of ASUN's asymmetrical integration principle is the fact that funding for each of ASUN's institutions is dependent on how many countries are willing to partake in them. Notably, a 2017 report published by the Secretariat with the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the performance of the organization's institutions pointed out the South Ulethan Energy Center and the ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau as two institutions that underperform. The South Ulethan Energy Center has struggled to finance all its activities since its inception due to low interest from ASUN members, with various projects for common renewable energy production beeing put on halt. The ASUN Anti-Corruption Bureau has on repeated occasions been forced to abandon investigations due to lack of funding. Due to the percieved importance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Secretariat has sought to find ways to finance the Anti-Corruption Bureau's activities through other means, or even turn it into a fifth official body of ASUN. All such attempts have been met with strong resistance from many ASUN members, and no motions to provide more funding for the Anti-Corruption Bureau have passed.<br />

Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Sità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a quarter of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled in the 6th or 7th century by immigrants from the north, possibly Nascilians. The city began as an independent trading post for trade routes between Plevian city states in the north and states in the southeast, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana, its main trading rival. In 1289, Navenna captured the city of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and annexed its territory. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century, expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Nāviena”. The name is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "ship". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in Navenna. The name likely refers to the location of the city, being reachable only by boat.<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The land itself has been home to a multitude of tribes and minor kingdoms, with highly unstable borders. The Navennese lagoon is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, long before the founding of Navenna itself, by smaller groups who primarily sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. There are two mainstream theories among researchers regarding when the city itself was founded. The first theory posits that migrants from [[Plevia]], possibly Nascilians, established a trading post in the lagoon in the 6th or 7th century, which then grew to become a city due to migration from the surrounding lagoon and mainland Navenna. This is supported by Nascilian texts detailing efforts to establish such trading posts along the northern Mediterranean coast, but no evidence exists to suggest the Navennese lagoon was the location of one. The second theory, which is based on local tradition, suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. Local tradition posits that the original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />

====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the Republic of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland; laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw a slow expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with [[Plevia|Plevian]] states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakhi coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to submit to Navennese rule, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. Initially the Shelakhs refused, which resulted in a short war and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Ashelspoor}} (Navennese: ''Giannina''). The Shelakhs would surrender a few months after and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà, integrating much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast into the growing Navennese maritime empire. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. After a few years of establishing Navennese rule and eliminating rebellious elements, the Shelakhs were granted a degree of home rule by the Doge in 1129, establishing the canton of Shelakhia (Navennese: Šelachia). The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />

====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern [[Plevia]] to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />
<br />
Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 2% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18 for all citizens of the country. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />
<br />
===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and [[Plevia]]. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

With an estimated population of 3.2 million, Navenna ranks among the smaller countries of the world in terms of population. Most of the population lives in the coastal central parts of the country; almost one third of the population can be found in the City of Navenna's metropolitan area, and the cantons of {{relation|238151|Navenna Lagunare}} and {{relation|238148|Ƚovana Maxòr}} are home to approximately half of the population. With a population density of 280 inhabitants per square kilometer, Navenna is among the more densely populated countries in the world.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both [[Plevia|Plevian]] and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />

===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from [[Plevia]], while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
Notable dishes of Navenna include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />

| intro = '''Navenna''', officially the '''Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Repùblega de Navenna''), also known as the '''Most Serene Republic of Navenna''' (Navennese: ''Serenìsima Repùblega Navennata''), is a small sovereign state in southwestern Uletha bordering {{relation|218001|Plevia}} in the north, {{relation|182490|Mardoumakhstan}} in the east and {{relation|182491|Costa dei Scialecchi}} in the southeast. Located between the {{relation|200259|Mediterranean Sea}} in the west and the mountain chain in the east, the country covers a land area of 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants. The country shares its name with its capital, {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} (Navennese: ''Sità de Navenna''), which is home to approximately a quarter of the country's population. Navenna is a constitutional elective monarchy, with a Doge (Navennese: ''Dòxe'') as its head of state elected by the upper house, and a prime minister as its head of government elected by the lower house and appointed by the Doge. The Doge is a largely ceremonial role while the prime minister leads the government of Navenna. Navenna is a member of the [[Association of South Ulethan Nations]] and the [[Assembly of Nations]].<br />
<br />
There are few surviving historical records that detail the founding of Navenna. Historians believe that the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} may have been settled in the 6th or 7th century by immigrants from the north, possibly Nascilians. The city began as an independent trading post for trade routes between Plevian city states in the north and states in the southeast, and grew to prominence after a power vaccuum emerged in the region in the 8th century. During the following years, the wealth of the fledgling republic grew due to its favorable position along important trade routes, and so did its influence, putting many cities on the mainland under its rule. In the 10th and 11th century, Navenna expanded south into Anoria, the name of the peninsula in the south of the country, integrating Anorian city states into Navenna with little resistance. During the 12th and 13th century, Navenna fought many battles against the Republic of Ƚovana, its main trading rival. In 1289, Navenna captured the city of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and annexed its territory. Territorial gains were also made in {{relation|230859|Nascillia}}. The country grew rapidly during the 16th century, expanding southwards along the Mediterranean coast, securing valuable trading posts. At its height, the Republic of Navenna reached as far south as modern day Lustria. Due to a multitude of factors Navenna's wealth declined during the 17th century, resulting in rapid loss of territories along the Mediterranean coast. Since the 19th century, Navenna's borders have been relatively stable.<br />
<br />
The country has an advanced economy based on finance, services and tourism. As an early industrializing country, Navenna used to have an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. The decline of Navennese industry in the 1960s sent the country into a long economic depression. The depression was followed by sweeping economic liberalization that resulted in renewed economic growth primarily in the financial and service sector. Navenna ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita, although this has been partially attributed to distortions caused by disproportionate amounts of capital being moved through the country by various multinational entities operating in Navenna as a result of low corporate tax rates.<ref name="report gdp"> Tamborello, E., Di Noto, L., Filipi, A. & Rubbo, G.

==Etymology==<br />
The origin of the name "Navenna" is not entirely known. The earliest known mention of the name is from 722, using the form “Nāviena”. The name is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Romantian word ''nāvis'', meaning "ship". The ending "-enna" is a common oeconym in Navenna. The name likely refers to the location of the city, being reachable only by boat.<br />

===Prehistory===<br />
The area that constitutes modern day Navenna is believed to have been inhabited for a very long time, likely since the Lower Paleolithic era. Artifacts dating back as far back as 800,000 years have been discovered in eastern Anoria. The {{node|205290344|petroglyphs of Falabiana}} are believed to have been made by modern humans some 35,000 years ago.<br />
===Early history===<br />
====Origins====<br />
The origins of Navenna are uncertain, due to very few historical records and conflicting evidence. The land itself has been home to a multitude of tribes and minor kingdoms, with highly unstable borders. The Navennese lagoon is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, long before the founding of Navenna itself, by smaller groups who primarily sustained themselves through fishing and salt production. There are two mainstream theories among researchers regarding when the city itself was founded. The first theory posits that migrants from Plevia, possibly Nascilians, established a trading post in the lagoon in the 6th or 7th century, which then grew to become a city due to migration from the surrounding lagoon and mainland Navenna. This is supported by Nascilian texts detailing efforts to establish such trading posts along the northern Mediterranean coast, but no evidence exists to suggest the Navennese lagoon was the location of one. The second theory, which is based on local tradition, suggests that a major flood (referred to as ''El Gran Diƚuviòn'', "The Great Flood") forced the population of the lagoon to relocate, leading to the founding of a city on higher ground close to the barrier islands of the lagoon. Local tradition posits that the original ruling oligarchy of Navenna were made up of the families that emigrated from the lagoon into the city, while families from the mainland did not get the privilege of ruling the city. Historically such floods have occurred regularly, and sources point towards such a flood occurring in the second half of the 6th century. <br />
[[File:Procession of the Doge in Venice MET DP837489.jpg|left|300px|thumb|''Asénsa de Dòxe Filadelfo Nùnxo'' by Jùlio Coiro]]<br />
====The First Republic====<br />
During its early years, Navenna is believed to have been ruled as an oligarchy by influential families. According to tradition, different families had sovereignty over different parts of the lagoon according to their land claims before the Gran Diƚuviòn. Because of this, the fledgling city state was dysfunctional and lacked order and vigor in its administration. The first Doge, Filadelfo Nùnxo, was elected by a council consisting of the ruling families in 655, to unite the fragmented city state under a single leader. Thus began a long tradition of influential and wealthy families electing the Doge to lead the country, effectively establishing an elective monarchy. This event is considered the beginning of the Republic of Navenna, and is commonly referred to as the First Navennese Republic (Navennese: ''Prima Repùblega Navennata'').<br />
<br />
It is not fully known when the name “Navenna” was first used to describe the city state. The earliest mention of the name “Navenna” comes from accounts of an invasion of the northeastern Mediterranean region by raiders from the east, which occurred during the 8th century. Historical records of the sacking of Mirùn in 722 describe a city in the lagoon called “Nāviena”, which was a refuge for people fleeing from the raiders. The city was besieged in 724, a siege that ultimately failed due to the difficulties of fighting in marshes and tidal plains. A coalition of city states in the area, lead by Navenna was formed soon after the attempted siege in an attempt to repel the invading force. During this period, control of the land beyond the lagoon would be unstable and shift between coalition forces and raiders. When the invading force eventually collapsed and withdrew in 766, the Republic of Navenna was able to exploit both its position as the de facto coalition leader and the power vacuum left behind by the raiders in order to assert control over the mainland; laying claim to cities in the modern day cantons of Navenna Lagunare, Malghexè and Alta Navenna. Mirùn and Malghexè would both grow to become important centers of power for the mainland. The city of Navenna rose to become an important trading center for the northeastern Mediterranean region.<br />
===Middle Ages===<br />
====Rise====<br />
The 10th century saw a slow expansion of Navennese influence into Anoria. Before its integration into the Republic of Navenna, Anoria was split between the Republic of Piavia, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni. Through a combination of diplomacy and intimidation, the Duchy of Seƚi and the Republic of Agheni were both integrated into Navenna at the end of the 10th century, in 967 and 982 respectively. The Republic of Piavia resisted Navennese influence, and aligned itself with the Grand Duchy of Ƚovana, a rival merchant nation to the north of Navenna, for protection in 984. This had a domino effect on the nations of the region, who chose to align themselves with either Navenna of Ƚovana. While Navenna sought to claim cities and ports in the south along the Shelakhi coast, Ƚovana sought to secure itself against Navenna by seeking greater diplomatic ties with Plevian states in the north. In 1055, war broke out between the Republic of Piavia and the Republic of Navenna, which triggered a war between the two factions headed by Navenna and Ƚovana respectively. During the war, most of the remaining minor states of the region were either conquered or absorbed into Navenna and Ƚovana. The conflict was settled when the Navennese armada was destroyed outside the island of {{relation|257987|Fatamagia}} in the Tiruglian archipelago in 1068 which caused Navenna to surrender. As terms for the surrender, the Republic of Navenna was to refrain from all trading activity in the sea north of Ƚovana. This caused Navenna to shift its trade ambitions from the sea to the land. While maritime trade would still be a significant source of income for the republic, Navenna also saw potential in establishing trade routes towards the east across the Ulethan continent. During the end of the 11th century, Navenna pushed northeast into the mountains, establishing trade routes with Plevian states, bypassing the Ƚovana-controlled waters. Trade relations were also established with Turquese and Surian states in the east, not only bringing wealth to Navenna but also cultural influences from Shelakhs, Turquese and Varvars.<br />
<br />
The 12th century would see Navenna partake in various minor conflicts involving control over the Mediterranean coast. Seeking to secure their ports along the Shelakhi coast and create a hinterland to support the cities, Navenna would present the Shelakh states in the region with an ultimatum in 1122. The Shelakhs of the Mediterranean northeastern coast were to submit to Navennese rule, or their cities would be raized by the Navennese armada. Initially the Shelakhs refused, which resulted in a short war and the sacking of {{node|226060079|Ashelspoor}} (Navennese: ''Giannina''). The Shelakhs would surrender a few months after and were forced to sign the Treaty of Taragà, integrating much of the Mediterranean northeastern coast into the growing Navennese maritime empire. At this time, Navenna streched from Aras in the north to {{node|226060077|Teraq-Tezan}} (Navennese: ''Taragà'') in the south. After a few years of establishing Navennese rule and eliminating rebellious elements, the Shelakhs were granted a degree of home rule by the Doge in 1129, establishing the canton of Shelakhia (Navennese: Šelachia). The integration of the Coast of Shelakhs into Navenna resulted in a deeper cultural exchange between them, with Shelakhs and Navennans moving between cities and bringing their traditions and customs with them. While no institutional discrimination existed, in practice Shelakhs were often disadvantaged in Navennese society due to their differing language and religion. Navennan officials would often refuse to address Shelakh subjects in their own language. Law bringing protection for Shelakh language, religion and culture would be gradually implemented during the following centuries.<br />
<br />
A civil conflict, known as the War of the Councils (Navennese: ''Guèra dei Conséji'') would break out in 1281 as a result of disagreements during the election of the next Doge of Navenna that same year. The Council of One Thousand would elect Tulio Amorighi as Doge, while most of the Council of One Hundred supported Council member Salvatore de Adaro. Amorighi was well liked by the clergy, and wanted to extend the right of membership in the Council of One Thousand to more citizens, notably the clergy. De Adaro on the other hand sought to concentrate more power in the Council of One Hundred instead, making it more independent of other parts of the Navennese government, and was sceptical towards the Ortholic church. De Adaro was able to rally the citizens of Navenna in his support, promising to extend the rights of Navennese citizens to partake in government if he was elected Doge. The situation escalated on November 8th 1281 when a mob stormed the halls of the Council of One Thousand, killing two CoOT members. Local guards loyal to Amorighi would be overrun by the mob, with other guards joining de Adaro's side. Amorighi and some of his supporters would barricade himself inside the {{node|204995945|Castèƚo Serenìsimo}}. In an attempt to regain control of the city, Amorighi sent out messages to mercenaries from surrounding towns, attempting to siege the city from the inside. The mercenaries would ultimately fail to breach into city and Amorighi would be exiled, while Salvatore de Adaro would be crowned as Doge of Navenna in 1284. While none of his supporters were formally punished, many of them would lose favor in the councils, causing a shift in power among the aristocracy from one with strong ties to the church to one with strong ties to the wealthy merchant class. Governance of Navenna after the War of the Councils would be marked by a more secular direction. As a result of this civil conflict, the Navennese governing system would see many reforms in the 13th century with much of the constitution rewritten by Doge Salvatore de Adaro, establishing the Second Navennese Reupblic (Navennese: ''Segónda Repùblega Navennata'') in 1285. The power and independence of the Council of One Hundred would be strengthened, with the Council of One Thousand being reduced to primarily appointing members of other councils rather than taking policy decisions. Navennese democracy would reach its height in 1288 with the establishment of the Citizens' Assembly (Navennese: ''Senblèa dei Sitadìni''). While progressive for its time, membership in the Citizens' Assembly was limited to residents of the city of Navenna itself, and the powers of the Assembly would be limited to deliberative powers and approving the Council of One Thousand's election of the Doge. This would mean that gaining the favor of the citizens would be crucial to getting elected as Doge, but the Assembly would have no say in how the Doge or any council ruled. This established a de facto class system in Navenna, consisting of the "aristocrats" (Navennese: ''ristocràti''), members of the Council of One Thousand or Council of One Hundred who were often part of wealthy and influential families, the "citizens" (Navennese: ''sitadìni''), residents of the city of Navenna who had the right to vote in the Citizens' Assembly, and the "provincials" (Navennese: ''provinsiaƚi''), the population outside the capital city who could only partake in local governing.<br />
====Golden Era====<br />
After the fall of Ƚovana, Navenna had established itself as the sole merchant republic of the region, and effectively monopolized all trade along the eastern Mediterranean coast. The wealth of Navenna rapidly grew during the 14th century, a time referred to as the golden era of Navenna. The golden era saw the establishment of the Shadow Council (Navennese: ''Conséjo Onbrìa''), whose role was to maintain the power balance between the Council of One Hundred and the Doge.<br />
===Early Modern Era===<br />

===Late Modern Era===<br />
====Industrialization====<br />
The industrial revolution in Navenna started in the middle of the 1840s, having its epicenter in the northern regions. In the early stages of industrialization, {{node|226030050|Meletta}} was the premier city of industry in the country, thanks to the abundance of cheap coal and iron in the Ocetia Valley. As such, Meletta would grow from a minor fishing town into a significant port city, exporting Navennese steel. Since the pre-industrial economic centers of Navenna were located south of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, there was a great demand to move resources from the resource-rich north to the major cities in the south. In order to stimulate industrial growth in the rest of the country, the first cross-country railway connecting all major cities from Meletta to Seƚi was constructed in the 1850s. <br />

[[File:Navenna land use.png|left|200px|thumb|Land use map of Navenna.]]<br />
Navenna is one of the smaller states in Uletha; the country covers about 25,018.95 km² (9,659.87 sq mi), of which 11,500.13 km² (4,440.23 sq mi) is land. Navenna measures approximately 275 km in length and and 88 km in width at its longest and widest point respectively. The country is located along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is considered part of the Ulethan region of Romantia. In Navennese, the region is normally referred to as the Upper Mediterranean (''Mexànmar Soràn'').<br />
<br />
To the north, Navenna borders the hilly and densely populated Plevian region of Nascilia. To the east, the country borders Mardoumakhstan. The border follows a mountain chain that stretches from southern Plevia to southern Mardoumakhstan. Along the border with Mardoumakhstan some of Navenna's highest mountains can be found.<br />
<br />
Navenna can be roughly divided into three distinct geographical regions. The land closest to the west coast is relatively flat and low-lying, and are home to the bulk of the country's population centers and agricultural production. This is where the two large lagoons of Navenna can be found; the {{relation|218001|Navennese Lagoon}} and the {{way|22420303|Zsianian Lagoon}}. The coast is sometimes more jagged, such as west of Ƚovana where the craggy islands of the {{way|23608031|Tiruglian Archipelago}} can be found. The northeastern part of Navenna is dominated by tall mountains and thick mixed forests. Most of the population here is found in the valleys between the mountains where orchards and pastures dominate the usable land. In the southeast the jagged mountains give way for a mosaic landscape with rolling hills where fields and pastures are interspersed with forests.<br />

Southeastern Navenna and Anoria in particular is home to a number of volcanoes. The Navennese volcanic arc runs roughly along the country's east coast, starting in {{node|232569269|San Uberto}} in the north and ending at the country's southern tip at {{node|217117070|Caƚà de San Rafaèl.}} {{node|207778739|Zsiforno,}} the country's largest volcano is continuously active with the latest large-scale eruption occurring in 2018. The area around {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} is known to be home to many dormant and extinct volcanoes, like {{node|234463654|Xeghèra.}} The volcanic soil in parts of Navenna is highly fertile and extensively cultivated wherever possible. Historians speculate whether this has been an important factor behind Navenna's high population density.<ref>Galo, F; Nissa, J & Cabrese, L. (2015). Soil Quality and Capacity for Population Growth in Anoria, Navenna. ''Effesian Agrology Journal'', 15(2), pp. 1077-1102. UUI: SE-212:928328004329</ref><br />
<br />
A number of rivers can be found in Navenna. The longest are the {{way|22404685|Cesi}} and the {{way|22404696|Sane}}, at 92 km and 57 km respectively. Other major waterways are the {{way|22404704|Fior}} and the {{way|22404665|Atas}}. Navenna has a long history of waterworks, diverting rivers, building canals and reclaiming land. In the lowlands north of the City of Navenna exists a network of canals that historically provided a network for the transport of goods. Smaller streams were often redirected in order to serve as mill races for water wheels.<br />

===Government===<br />
The constitution of Navenna states that the country is a republic, ruled by a doge as the head of state, and a prime minister as the head of government. In practice, political scientists have described Navenna as a constitutional elective monarchy, with a representative parliamentary democracy headed by a constitutional monarch. <br />
<br />
The position of doge is appointed by supermajority vote by the upper house of Navenna, the Council of One Hundred, and approved by the lower house, the Citizens' Assembly. Once elected, the doge rules for life unless dismissed from office by the Conséjo through a similar vote. Historically the doges have had far reaching powers similar to that of a monarch, but today the powers of the doge are limited by the constitution to a mostly ceremonial and representative role. The mandate of the doge includes the annual opening session of the Conséjo, and formally appoints or dismisses the grand councilor of the Conséjo. The doge hosts visiting foreign diplomats and represents Navenna during state visits abroad. Diplomatic letters such as letters of credence are often signed by the doge.<br />
<br />
The Council of One Hundred (''Conséjo del Sénto'') is the upper house of the Navennese parliament. The powers of the Conséjo are primarily advisory, and often take the initiative to review and propose amendments to laws proposed by the government. The Conséjo cannot prevent normal laws from passing, but can veto any changes to the constitution of Navenna. Unlike the Senblèa, debates in the Conséjo can be conducted behind closed doors. The Conséjo has the power to both elect and dismiss the doge. The sessions of the Conséjo are presided over by a grand councilor (''gran consejèr''), who is appointed through a majority vote by the council and serves for a four year term. 48 of the 100 seats of the Conséjo are held by lords (''sièri''), who hold their seat for life or until they resign on their own, and are free to appoint their successor. The remaining 52 seats are appointed by non-partisan electors (''eletori''), who nominate members to the Council. In turn, the electors are appointed by the government whenever a new government term begins. Members of the Conséjo are not allowed to partake in partisan politics and in accordance with the constitution must act "in the best interest of the Republic". Members are automatically expelled upon conviction of any criminal offence that results in imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The Citizens' Assembly (''Senblèa dei Sitadìni'') is the lower house of Navenna and the legislative branch of the state. The Senblèa passes all laws, approves the prime minister and their cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. Bills may be brought before the Senblèa by ministers or members of parliament. Members are democratically elected through a party-list proportional representation system. The method utilized for distributing seats combined with a low election threshold of 2% has resulted in a long history of many small parties. No single party has ever achieved a majority in the Senblèa, and all governments have either been formed by coalition or by minority one-party governments. The Senblèa is presided over by a speaker (''parladór''), who is elected by majority vote by members of the Senblèa. Formally, the Senblèa has the power to veto the election of the doge, though this power has never been exercised.<br />
<br />
The government of Navenna, the executive branch of the state consisting of the prime minister and their cabinet, is approved by the Senblèa through negative parliamentarism. The main functions of the government are to present bills to the Senblèa, implement decisions taken by the Senblèa and appoint electors for the Conséjo. The position of prime minister is proposed by the speaker in consultation with the Conséjo. By precedent, the leader of the largest party in the Senblèa is always proposed to become prime minister, provided they can gather enough support from the other parties in the Senblèa.<br />
<br />
Navenna has universal suffrage for all citizens above the age of 18 for all citizens of the country. Elections for the Senblèa and the cantons are held every four years. Voters may choose to vote on a party only, in which case the party list is used to determine which candidates enter the Senblèa. Alternatively they may specify a candidate, or multiple candidates and rank them as they wish. Candidates do not have to be a member of a party to stand for an election, but independent members of parliament are very rare. In order for a political party to be allowed to be registered and stand for an election, they must collect certificates of support from a minimum of 16,000 voters.<br />

Navenna is divided into 13 cantons, which are further divided into a number of municipalities (Navennese: ''comùni''). A canton can also contain special districts (Navennese: ''distreti spesiaƚi''). The canton of {{relation|238154|Paramo}} contains Navenna's only special district, the {{relation|238155|Aras Valley}} (Navennese: ''Vaƚàda de Aràs''), where the language spoken in bordering Mardoumakhstan has elevated status as alternative working language for the municipalities within the Aras Valley. The cantons of Navenna enjoy a degree of self rule and have their own tax base as mandated by the constitution. The extent of their responsibilities are further regulated by national law, thus the cantons are interdependent upon the national government.<br />

Navenna has a globalized, high income mixed economy which features moderate growth and high GDP per capita. Navenna's main imports are raw materials, metals, machinery and equipment, chemicals, foodstuffs, transportation equipment, petroleum products, textiles and clothing. Financial services and unclassified transactions constitute a significant part of Navenna's exports. Other major exports include cars, machinery and equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. Navennese agriculture meets 62% of the domestic food demand, but also exports dairy products, wine and olive oil. Tourism is a significant source of employment, especially in the southern parts of the country where some cities are reliant on tourism for the local economy. The {{node|213059049|historical city center of Navenna}} is a world renowned tourist attraction visited by around 5.2 million tourists in 2021.<br />
<br />
Historically, Navenna has been a highly industrialized country with an economy based around mineral extraction and manufacturing. Mining and steel production flourished during the early 19th century, especially in the northern cities of {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|226030050|Meletta}}. The {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}}, {{node|203528408|Agheni}} and {{node|203528411|Seƚi}} have long been major port cities and centers for the Ulethan shipbuilding industry. The economies of {{node|226029993|Malghexè}} and {{node|226029997|Mirùn}} were historically linked to the textile industry. As manufacturing costs became higher, and the industry had to increasingly rely on imports of natural resources, Navennese industry became less competitive with many companies either moving their production abroad in search for cheaper labor, or went bankrupt. Ever since the recession of the 1960s, the manufacturing sector has been of lesser importance in Navenna, but a few significant companies remain. {{node|225510480|Renavali}}, a merger of Navenna's ship manufacturers operate a number of shipyards outside Navenna, such as in {{relation|237532|Goukamma, CCA}}. {{node|213491503|Rosolini}} is a major foodstuff conglomerate which owns multiple brands produced and sold all over the world, and operate subsidiaries in [[Qennes]] and [[Freedemia]], among others. Some industries have survived by catering to niche markets, such as vehicle manufacturer {{relation|264420|Regòra}} which exclusively produces sports and luxury cars.<ref>Hájek, T & Riley, H. (2009). Post-industrial Recovery and Apadtation: A Case Study of Post-industrial Economies in West Uletha. ''Human Geography Review'', 22(1), pp. 805-822. UUI: RR-231:09128122106</ref><br />
<br />
Navenna's economy is primarily based around finance and services, and has been able to rapidly develop its economy through its favorable corporate tax policies. The country is also known for its strict banking secrecy, with major Navennese banks such as BMN and SBNS being accused of being safe havens for tax evasion, money laundering and other types of financial crime. Foreign multinational companies constitute a significant part of the country's total economic activity. This has caused Navenna to have a distorted GDP, since it includes income from non-Navennese companies<ref name="report gdp" />.<br />

===Infrastructure===<br />
[[File:Carcassonne - Autoroute A61.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The A-1 motorway outside {{node|232570536|Campolxano}}, overlooking {{node|226029993|Malghexè.}}]]<br />
Navenna has a developed network of road and rail. Most major cities are served by the Navennese ''autostrade'', a network of tolled motorways owned by the state but operated by the private company Autostrade per Navenna. The longest of these is the A-1 connecting the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{relation|218001|Plevia}}. Some cities are served by non-tolled expressways called ''superstrade''. In 2019, there were about 683 cars per 1 000 inhabitants in Navenna.<ref>NavStat (2020). ''Ano in rasegnà - Infrastruttura è strapòrto 2020''. Navenna: NavStat.</ref> While efforts have been undertaken to reduce car use and promote the use of public transport, car dependency has steadily increased since the 1980s.<br />
<br />
The national railway network is state owned and operated by FDR. Most of the network is electrified. Most main railway lines along the coast nd between major cities are double-track, while railways going east into the mountains are mostly single-track. Navenna's sole high-speed railway connects the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} with the Plevian capital of {{node|211017130|Osianopoli}} via {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}} and {{node|217075822|Condona}}.<br />
<br />
More than 90% of all airways traffic in Navenna is handled by a single airport, {{relation|249436|Aereoporto internasionaƚe de Navenna Xeƚo}}. The airport serves as the hub for Navenna's only airline and flag carrier {{node|249434133|ARN - Navennese Airways}}.<br />

The overall life expectancy at birth in Navenna varies greatly between sexes; 78.6 years for males versus 85.1 for females. This disparity has decreased over the last 25 years as male life expectancy has increased faster than female life expectancy. The total fertility rate of Navenna was 1.77 in 2018, and has decreased considerably since after the Great War. While the natural growth rate of the population is currently negative, population has been increasing throughout the 21th century thanks to a high immigration rate, primarily from other Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Navenna's healthcare system is based on mandatory health insurance. All citizens must take out their own healthcare insurance from any private for-profit or NGO insurance provider. Healthcare insurance is regulated by law; all insurance providers must offer a universal and affordable insurance package, and may not refuse or impose special conditions upon the applicant, except under very specific circumstances.<ref>Ministry of Health of Navenna (2018). http://www.minsn.na/en/sicurasion Retrieved 3 March 2019.</ref> Risk variations are managed through a national risk equalization pool managed by the state, and insurance providers are incentivized to take on high risk individuals through compensation. Children below the age of 18 are automatically covered by their parents' healthcare insurance plan. Individuals below a certain income threshold receive subsidies from the state to help pay for healthcare insurance. Health expenditure per capita amounted to 5,344 USD per year in 2018.<br />

Internationally, Navenna is not regarded as a major music nation, and is often overshadowed by other Mediterranean states. Domestically, Navenna has a rich and varied music scene, and is home of a number of unique music genres that have spread around the world. Notably, contemporary Navennese music has heavy international and electronic influences.<br />
<br />
While traditional Navennese folk music has fallen in popularity since the late 1900s, folk music is still an important part of Navenna's cultural heritage. Due to the country's location at the meeting point between Romantian and Turquese Uletha, Navennese folk music shares elements from both Plevian and Turquese music traditions. Northern Navenna shares many elements of traditional Nascilian music, while the south and east has influences from Shalekh, Varvar and Turquese music. Navennese folk music is usually homophonic and characterized by simple melodies and harmonies. Themes portrayed can vary greatly; folk music can have simple and abstract themes such as love, death, friendship or food; or more specific themes such as historical and mythological events or holidays.<br />
<br />
During the high renaissance, the {{node|203528414|City of Navenna}} was an important center of the arts in Romantian Uletha. In contrast to the simplicity of folk music, Navennese classical music is well known for its "masimalista style" with grand orchestras and complex polyphonic harmonies pioneered by composers such as Ciro Nenci and Sabino Razsi in the late 1500s. One of the most well known Navennese compositions, "Sóra Paradìxo" by Ciro Nenci is in the masimalista style. The 18th century saw a return to more minimalist compositions by composers such as Eliodoro Mariani, Mileno Trapani and Roseƚa Adesso.<br />
<br />
Contemporary Navennese music emerged in the middle of the 20th century, with pop and rock acts influenced primarily by Plevian and Ingerish music. Many artists sought after international appeal and thus many artists write songs in languages other than Navennese, primarily Ingerish and Plevian. Navenna was an important nation for disco in the 70s. Navennese disco music evolved into its own genre known as Navennodance in the late 80s, which is characterized by its faster tempo and futuristic sound. Navennodance acts such as Fanfara, EONS and Alfio Amantea saw international success in the 80s and 90s. The 1990s saw the emergence of Navennese language rap and hip hop in the urban centers in the south. Navennese hip hop takes influences partly from Ingerish language hip hop, but has strong roots in immigrant communities in Navenna with Turquese and Mardoumakhi influences.<br />
<br />
Navennese companies have been instrumental in the development of electronic music hardware. As such, contemporary Navennese music is known for its early adoption and widespread use of electronic elements, such as synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders. Another important aspect of contemporary Navennese music is the country's rave culture which emerged in the 80s following a liberalization of recreational drug use. The 90s saw the rise of Navennese electronic dance music, notably Ƚo-Trance originating from {{node|226030065|Ƚovana}}, and Navennese hardcore drawing influences from Lentian gabber and Ingerish drum & bass. Today, electronic dance music is not confined to raves and clubs, but are part of mainstream Navennese music culture. Many electronic music festivals are arranged in Navenna, attracting arists from all over the world. Later developments in Navennese electronic dance music include hardstyle, house and industrial hardcore. Popular Navennese electronic dance acts include Sacagnàda, Sótovóxe, Stargazer, Ƚoris Ventura, Bruna Armati and Pharix. The former industrial towns Meletta and Seƚi are known for their experimental electronic music scenes which developed during the early 2000s, utilizing unorthodox samples and exotic sound design techniques.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Navennese cuisine has a long and rich history, having integrated elements of cuisines from neighboring cultures, primarily from Plevia, while maintaining a distinct Navennese identity. Navennese gastronomic culture is usually divided into two main geographical regions which have affected what ingredients are available, what cooking techniques are used, and which other cultures have had an influence. Cuisine from the coastal regions of Navenna is rich in seafood, beef and wheat, while the cuisine of the interior regions of Navenna are to a greater degree based around poultry, lamb, mushrooms and vegetables. Historically, game meat has been an important protein source in remote and mountainous regions, and is still incorporated into some local delicacies. While regional differences have diminished greatly in modern times, with most dishes being available anywhere in the country, some local variation still exist, especially for cheeses and cold cuts since many local variants enjoy a protected origin under Navennese law.<br />
<br />
Pasta forms the staple food of Navennese cuisine, typically made with wheat flower and egg. Stuffed variants such as ''rafióƚo'' and ''tortèƚi'' are especially common, usually with a meat, vegetable or cheese-based filling. Bread is another staple in Navennese cuisine, with a multitude of local bread variants. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, cabbages, artichokes, garlic, eggplants, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini are commonly used ingredients in Navennese dishes. Olive oil is widely used, both as a cooking fat and as a base for sauces. A common Navennese sauce is ''rùxene'' made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon and chilli peppers (pevarónsini). Dishes are commonly spiced using black pepper, pevarónsini, parsley, chives and basil. Due to Navenna's history as a maritime republic with extensive trade networks, the country has enjoyed prolonged access to many exotic herbs and spices such as vanilla, cocoa and ginger which have historically been used in upper-class dishes. Peppers have since their introduction in the country become a staple ingredient, adding heat to many Navennese dishes.<br />
<br />
Making cheese from cow, sheep or goat milk is an old tradition in Navenna, with a plethora of cheese varieties having been developed over time. Many Navennese cheese varieties have been exported and adapted abroad. Some notable cheese varieties include ''maseƚo'', a soft cow's milk cheese named after its traditional point of origin, the town of {{node|232569204|Maseƚo}}; ''marxa fatisènte'', a hard granular cow's milk cheese originating from {{node|203528411|Seƚi}}; ''sviƚéte'', a semi-soft blue-veined cheese; and ''sanguinóxo Navennato'', colloquially known as Navennese blood cheese, a hard delicacy cheese colored and flavored with red pesto.<br />
<br />
Seafood has an elevated status in Navennese cuisine. Sea bass, sea bream, swordfish and tuna are common in traditional recipes, and Navennese supermarkets usually stock imported fish such as cod, haddock and salmon. Cuttlefish and squid are considered delicacies in Navenna, and squid ink is sometimes integrated into dishes. The most notable seafood delicacy is ''crùo'', consisting of thinly sliced or diced raw fish usually served with vegetables and bread.<br />
<br />
Notable dishes of Navenna include:<br />
* ''Crùo'' - an iconic dish from Navenna Lagunare, it consists of thinly sliced or diced raw seafood meats, typically tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, octopus and salmon. Crùo is served as an antipasto on its own, or as a main course together with vegetables, bread and soup. Originally a delicacy reserved for the wealthy or only eaten during festivities, crùo is now widely available at restaurants specialized in preparing crùo dishes, and is served in a multitude of ways. Crùo is commonly compared to sashimi.<br />
* ''Rafióƚo'' - stuffed pasta served with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, sage, onion, spinach, and poultry or beef meat. The pasta is served in broth or with a sauce.<br />
* ''Supìn d'ingiòstro'' (lit: "ink soup") - a fish soup made primarily with cuttlefish and squid, occasionally combined with crabs and mussels. Its name comes from the fact that the soup is colored dark using squid ink. The soup is commonly served with ''rùxene'' and bread.<br />
* ''Pasta aƚa pevaràsa'' - pasta served with clams, tomatoes and garlic, usually served with a sauce prepared with olive oil, pevarónsini, black pepper and white wine. Occasionally cheese is added.<br />
* ''Bixàto frito'' - fried eel, a typical dish in Anoria.<br />
* ''Manxo mirúno'' - a beef stew originating from Mirùn, typically prepared with onion, garlic, mushrooms and red wine.<br />
