Port de Vent has a | Port de Vent has a subtropical humid climate on the islands of Gicupiccu, Ile Melite, and the northern island of l'Iles Osilies. On the southern island of l'Iles Osilies and l'Iles Capræs, there is a temperate oceanic climate. The prevailing winds are primarily easterly, meaning the eastern sides of the islands tend to get more precipitation, but due to the general lack of higher elevations, the difference is negligible. Mean annual temperatures range from 10 °C (50 °F) in the southern islands to 16 °C (61 °F) in the northern islands. The coldest month is usually July and the warmest month is usually January or February. Generally, there are relatively small variations between summer and winter temperatures. | ||

Because of the Republics' relative stability compared to most of the polities in [[Vallos]] and overall [[Latinic]] homogeneity, the Republics were not to be made into a colony, but rather protectorates. | ||

Following the retreat of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]'s political mechanisms the Ventese struggled to settle on a form of governance. In February of [[1714]] they reached out to a [[Bergendii]] merchant-anthropologist Luc-Etienne Mirrel deN'QuaiCong who had been a proponent of the uniquely [[Latinic]] culture as a foil to the ruling [[Emeritan]]s [[Pelaxia#Culture|Pelaxification]]. Between [[1699]] and [[1712]] he had written three treatises on the subject. He was invited to form a government of Ventese [[Latinic]]-cultural purists to establish an ethno-state on the islands. Luc-Etienne was given the title of ''Archidux'' of the Ventese. He reigned from [[1714]] until [[1764]] and blended the morays of the {{wp|Age of Enlightenment}} with the focus of the {{wp|Corsican people|Ventans}} on the reinvestment in their [[Latinic]] culture. | Following the retreat of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]'s political mechanisms the Ventese struggled to settle on a form of governance.

During the first Great War the islands were heavily fortified and used as a naval staging point for many of [[Burgundie]]'s operations in the [[Kindreds Sea]] and against the [[Krasoa Islands]]. As such they were constantly under the threat of invasion from both [[Kiravia]] and [[Caphiria]]. There were many minor naval engagements in the [[Kindreds Sea]] and the [[Catenias]] archipelago. | During the first Great War the islands were heavily fortified and used as a naval staging point for many of [[Burgundie]]'s operations in the [[Kindreds Sea]] and against the [[Krasoa Islands]].
