New Veltorina

New Veltorina, officially the New Veltorine Republic, is a country in Crona. It is neighbored by Varshan to the south and Quetzenkel to the east.

It is a member of the Nysdra Sea Treaty Association.

The Diaspora and Cronan settlement
The conquest of Veltorina at the end of the First Great War brought to an end the independence of the nation-state of the Veltorine people, a people native to northeastern Sarpedon. Their conquest by Caphiria led to a century of various efforts by the Veltorine people to reestablish their independence, both in their home territory and, later, abroad. The Veltorine government-in-exile supported efforts to reestablish Veltorine independence, while later movements such as the Life Abroad Movement and 21st century resettlements supported by Urcea sought to establish a new Veltorine state abroad.

Annexation of Brudxaan Province
The territory of what is today New Veltorina was, prior to the 1960s, a territory of Varshan known as the Brudxaan Province. The territory, conquered by Varshan in 1525, was a critical point which allowed Varshan to project its influence across the Nysdra Sea into Venua'tino. The inhabitants of the Brudxaan were ethnically related to the neighboring Quetzen people. In the 20th century, the collapse of Varshan's Yun-harle dynasty critically weakened the state. Several foreign powers, especially Daxia, encouraged Quetzenkel to annex the Brudxaan Province in order to establish a so-called "Varshan gradient" that would buffer Cusinaut from Varshan. The annexation occurred in 1962. The Quetzen acquisition of the territory would begin a six decade process of relative instability and ethnic movement that would eventually result in the establishment of the modern state of New Veltorina.

Military
The New Veltorine Armed Forces were established first as the Army of New Vetorina. The core of the new Army was made up of the two corps previously organized under the Veltorine Popular Defense Committee Army of National Reclamation, with an additional division organized in January 2028 out of various militia forces and operatives that had been organized by the former Veltorine government-in-exile during the Final War of the Deluge. Much of the army served under Royal and Imperial Army allied command during the Final War of the Deluge, and current defense doctrine calls for them to be subordinated to allied command in the event of another war as part of the Defense Coordination Initiative.

The New Veltorine Government also authorized the creation of the Air Force of New Veltorina, which began its existence on paper as personnel were trained by the Urcean Royal Air Force. Several surplus aircraft have been provided by Urcea to New Veltorina and these vehicles made up the vast majority of the AFNV's fleet by 2030. The New Veltorine Government has begun a project of local aircraft manufacturing, with the government intending to phase out foreign made vehicles by 2050.

In February 2028, New Veltorina joined participation in the Nysdra Sea Guard, the joint naval forces of the Nysdra Sea Treaty Association. The Sea Guard was designated the official naval armed force of New Veltorina that month.
