Nation's History

WIP

Grand City of Venoa:  
Founded in ancient times, Venoa was a safe harbour for ships traveling between the Middle and South Oceans.  The channel was considered to  dangerous to enter due to pirate threats..  During the middle ages,  the city's leadership began to enforce a toll on foreign vessels entering Venoa Passage.  Eventually many merchants began to set up their operations within Venoa's  borders, which by then stretched along the entire coastline of the sound. This created a much more secure line  of revenue (through taxes), however the toll continued to be a back bone of the City's budget.

Merchant Republic of Venoa: 
The early modern era marked a series of military conquest Lucente Peninsula.  The army mostly consisted of mercenaries funded by the cities vast trade wealth.  The Republic also conquered the the island opposite of Venoa Island in order the secure the channel from pirate threat.
