'''Lucrecia''', officially the '''Most Serene and Federative Republic of Lucrecia''' ({{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}: ''Serenísima e República Federativa de Lucrecia''; [[Emeritan Pelaxian|Pelaxian]]: ''Serenísima y República Federativa de Lucrecia''), is an archipelago country in the [[Kindreds Sea]]'s [[Catenias]], consisting of three major islands. It is characterized by its bilingual, bicultural nature, consisting of both [[Lucrecio-Isurians|Isurian]]-, and [[Emeritans|Pelaxian]]-influenced cultures.

Lucrecia is a {{wp|sovereign state|sovereign}} {{wp|federalism|federal}} {{wp|diarchic}} {{wp|directorial republic}} under a {{wp|semi-presidential|semi-presidential system}}. Although the highest rank in the country is that of the [[Grand Duke in Lucrecia|grand duke]], it should be noted that the title is purely ceremonial and cultural; it carries no authority nor designation as the {{wp|head of state}} (hence why the title uses "in" instead of "of"). Its federal structure is highly complex, consisting of both highly {{wp|autonomous}} [[Communities, cantons, and linguistic areas of Lucrecia|cantons]], of which there are four (the [[Emeritan Republic]], the [[Isurian Generality]], the [[~~Merida~~-Presidential Canton]], and the [[Toledo-Administrative Canton]]), and linguistic communities, of which there are two (the [[Pelaxian Community]], and the [[Isurian Community]]). The Presidential and Administrative cantons are officially bilingual in Pelaxian and Isurian. This complex form of government, formed from linguistic diversity and sociopolitical conflicts, is reflected in the fact that there exists no less than [[List of governments of Lucrecia|seven different governments]] within Lucrecia.

The country derives its name from the [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]] translation of the name "Lucretia", itself in reference to {{wp|Lucretia}}, a [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] noblewoman whose brutal murder at the hands of a son of King Admoneptis inspired an aristocratic revolt that overthrew the Caphiric monarchy in favour of the Caphiric Republic, of which Lucrecia derives its form of government from and retained in an unchanged form from the establishment of the [[Emeritan Republic]] in 178 BC until the 1970s when a series of reforms dubbed the "Popular Amendments" federalised the nation as well as rationalising and democratising the legislature. With the traditional foundation date being 178 BC, Lucrecia lays claim to being one of the oldest extant sovereign states, as well as the oldest {{wp|constitutional republic}}.

===Antiquity and the first Emeritan state===

It is generally accepted that Lucrecia was settled by the broader [[Glaistic civilization]] during the prehistoric period, but when they arrived and the extent of their settlement is the source of considerable debate. The only record of them comes from the first [[Adonerii]] settlers on the archipelago, who arrived in 750 BC. Until the 21st century, it was generally accepted that Lucrecia was the southernmost Adonerii settlement during the [[Latin Heroic Age]], though some modern archaeology and scholarship has suggested Lucrecia served as a staging ground for further expeditions south into modern [[Chrobonsk]]. Whatever the case, the Latin city of ''Emerita Maris'' was established at their first arrival and became the predominant cultural and political force in the archipelago. Historians generally agree that ''Emerita Maris'' served as the primary southern outpost of the intricate Adonerii trade network, filtering exotic goods from South Sarpedon back to the other Adonerii cities in exchange for weapons, food, and other goods more common in [[Urlazio]] and beyond.

With the collapse of the Adonerii league, ''Emerita Maris'' became an independent power in the southern part of the Kindreds Sea. It began to establish its own colonies and trade network throughout eastern [[Vallos]]. It soon expanded to rule over other settlements on its home island, eventually culminating in the establishment of the Emeritan Republic in 178 BC, with a form of government that closely followed that of the Caphiric Republic, that being a diarchical consular republic. Its first consuls were [[Sextus Luria Rufus]] and [[Marcus Cornelius Scaevola]], two prominent merchants who have greatly expanded the trading networks between the Emeritans and the other polities in Vallos.
