'''Roscampus''' is a [[Government of Urcea#Province|province]] of [[Urcea]]. It is usually considered part of Urcea's [[Carolina]] region despite not having been historically a part of the [[Grand Duchy of Carolina]]. | '''Roscampus''' is a [[Government of Urcea#Province|province]] of [[Urcea]].

The territory of Roscampus is largely coterminous with the medieval Philaridon Republic, a mercantile republic which emerged out of [[Philaridon]], now the cathedral city. Although most residents of Roscampus today identify as [[Urcean people]] and largely share both the same culture and heritage, the people of the province nonetheless strongly identify with the medieval republic as its forebear. As such, the province has a distinct identity as well as unique political and social attitudes from the rest of the country. | |||

The history of the Roscampus region is closely linked to that of the Philaridon Republic. The Republic was a {{wp|maritime republic}} in [[Levantia]] and was part of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. The city of Philaridon was included in the crown territory of the [[Southern Kingdom of the Levantines]] with the division of the Holy Levantine Empire in 917. Following the conquest of the Southern Kingdom and reestablishment of the Empire, the city was granted a special Charter by Emperor Leo I in 976. This Charter gave it {{wp|Imperial immediacy}} and permitted the city to autonomously chose its own system of government, leading to the adoption of a plutocratic mercantile republic in the same year as the once rival families of the city were coopted into a new, stable system. The Republic became a major trade power in the Odoneru and expanded its inland holdings in Levantia. The Republic was a major opponent of the rising [[Urcea|Julian realm]] and was the de facto leader of the [[Creagmer republics]]. | The history of the Roscampus region is closely linked to that of the Philaridon Republic.

The Republic was unable to effectively maintain religious unity during the Protestant reformation and lost most of its territory and autonomy after the [[Great Confessional War]]. From the late 16th century the Republic continued to exist but within the reduced borders of a city state, one mostly reliant on Urcea for grain supply and political support, and by [[1620]] it had been made a formal vassal of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]]. The small remnant of the Republic was formally annexed into Urcea in 1680. The territory of modern Roscampus, excepting some eastern mountainous territory, was organized in [[1688]] out of the territories acquired from the Republic over the proceeding century as the Duchy of Philaridon. In [[1895]], the Duchy was joined to peripheral parts of the [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]] to create the province as part of the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]]. | The Republic was unable to effectively maintain religious unity during the Protestant reformation and lost most of its territory and autonomy after the [[Great Confessional War]].

The Republic, largely supported by the presence of the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Imperial Army]], existed until their ejection from the city in [[1805]] by Urcea's [[Royal Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]], securing permanent control of the territory. | ||

The suburban coastal region north of Philaridon, called the Merchants' Coast, is one of the most affluent areas in all of Urcea. The Merchants' Coast communities sit on large coastal bluffs overlooking the Mirana Sound and oceanic approaches to Philaridon, with most of the area having long sandy beaches facing southward. | |||

Roscampus is firmly pro-[[Solidarity Party (Urcea)|Solidarity Party]], with Solidarity's [[Livio Iarnán]] winning two-thirds of the vote; in the [[2025 Urcean elections]], Solidarity won all but one of the province's 11 [[Concilium Daoni]] seats. However, residents of Roscampus have largely divergent political and ideological views from most of the rest of Solidarity. The people of the province are generally [[Guilds (Urcea)|guild]]skeptic and clasically liberal economically. Their ties to Solidarity are largely on cultural, regional, and federalist issues resulting from the identity of Roscampus as a "periphery" of Urcea descending from its Philaridon Republican identity. This enables the [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]] to remain relatively competitive in elections where economic issues are the main political issue despite its centralist reputation. The Pact also regularly wins the single Daoni seat representing the affluent Merchants' Coast region, typically by a wide margin. | |||
