Trentino

Trentino, officially the State of Trentino, is a state located in the Luson region of central Cartadania. With 8.8 million residents across a total area of about 31610.8 km2, Trentino is the 15th-most populous and second-least extensive state in Cartadania, but the second-most densely populated with 278.1 PD/km2. The state capital is the city of Aquilônia in Central Trentino, while Valencia is the most populous city in the state, located in the extreme southern portion of the state's panhandle, near the border with Verona and Catania. The Valencia metro area is the most populous urban region in the state, and accounts for just over a quarter of Trentino residents.

History
Today what comprises the state of Trentino was formed from the Commonwealth of Verona's Sancti regio in 1591. The land started out as a forested and hilly section of the state; the far western reaches of the Commonwealth, beyond which lied the Lençois desert. Following the Vermillion Acts, where Verona separated from Caphiria 165 years prior, the Verona General Assembly sent explorers to survey the land and report back to Georgetown. For those that survived the journey, the perils of water,, and left an imprint so deep in their memories, that the General Assembly prohibited travel to the region again until the 1620s, when Sancti became a province, and Trentino, known as the Carolina Territory, separated into its own entity.

In 1628, Sancti sent a team of expeditionists yet again into Carolina, this time, heavily armed and on high alert. The territory, though a separate entity legally, was the resposibility of the Sancti territory, an honor bestowed upon it by the Commonwealth from which it came. The were able to officially survey a large portion of the land, while also documenting the wildlife they encountered in the process. Along the Hanequin River, the team came across many animals for the first time, including the, the , and , all of which proved to be dangerous.

As years continued on, and Cartadania officially separated from Caphiria, the land began to develop, first into farmland, then once Carolina became a state, into a developed inland location. Carolina was an anomaly amongst Cartadania's states due to it being landlocked, a trait no other state had until the admission of Toscana in December of 1869. This made development of the area quite difficult for many years. In 1677, six years post-independence, then-capital Meridia turned its sights to Carolina, which it envisioned as a perfect location for secretive developments for the military. This spurred the creation of Fort Valerius, the second-largest military installation in Cartadania. Following the addition of the base, many people whom were in the Armed Forces that were assigned to the base needed to move within distance of the base or onto the base itself, thus the state also saw a large upheaval in residential development, which makes it the second-most densely populated state of Cartadania at present.

With the fall of Cartadania's first government during the Ano Roxo circa 1698, Carolina and other states existed in a type of limbo, where the citizens were essentially stateless. When the country reformed in 1710, Carolina's government was in disarray, and for a period, the state merged back into Santiago with the provision that the state would separate again in the future. On 28 July 1864, the twenty counties that constituted Carolina formed the Trentino Metropolitan Government Council (for which the state gets its name), and designated four representatives–Leandro Bambalio, Bruno Glaucia, Escobar Leal, and Juliano Takeda–to be sent to Alahuela, Cartadania's new capital. The four representatives petitioned Congress over a period of six weeks to again grant statehood. Utilizing documents prepared by the government of Santiago, the four were able to finally achieve statehood again on 10 September 1864 as the State of Trentino. The seat of government was placed in the city of Aquilônia, in Carolina County.
