Vespera: Difference between revisions

'''Vespera''', officially the '''Overseas''' '''Province of Vespera''', is an [[Province of Caphiria|overseas province]] of the [[Imperium of Caphiria]] located in [[Vallos#Capelranco Archipelago|Capelranco]], the northern third of the [[Vallos]] subcontinent. Vespera is bordered by [[Equatorial Ostiecia]], a constituent country of [[Burgundie]], and the Republic of Arona, a protectorate of [[Urcea]]. The Province of Vespera has a population of approximately 16.5 million, making it the xx-largest province in Caphiria. Its capital and largest city is [[Oduria Novus]].  

Vespera is located in what is known as the [[Vallos#Capelranco Archipelago|Capelranco Archipelago Region]], which consists of approximately the northern third of Vallos and extending into the archipelago. Capelranco has been inhabited since at least 850 BC, however, the earliest surviving written records come from the Kingdom of [[Oustec]] during the 16th to 19th centuries, of which Vespera was part of. During this period, the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] was spreading its maritime trading empire across the world and Capelranco was becoming increasingly influenced by the Levantines. By the end of the [[First Great War]], Capelranco was firmly under Burgoignesc control, which sparked a [[Levantine Creep|period of fear and panic in Caphirians and the fate of the Latins in the region]]. This led to Caphiria suddenly invading Outsec, launching the [[Odurian War]] in 1858. The war ended with a treaty on 1 December 1859 that partitioned the kingdom: the western lands of [[Arona]] were given independence and the eastern lands were annexed by Caphiria to form the province of Vespera, while the rest of the Kingdom of Outsec became [[Equatorial Ostiecia]].
