| '''Vespera''', officially the '''Province of Vespera''', is an [[Province of Caphiria|overseas province]] of the [[Imperium of Caphiria]] located on the northern coast of the [[Vallos]] subcontinent. Vespera is bordered by [[Equatorial Ostiecia]], a constituent country of [[Burgundie]] and has a population of approximately 16.5 million, making it the xx-largest province in Caphiria.
| | Overview |
|
| |
|
| The region of Vespera, historically known as Capelranco, has been inhabited since at least 850 BC. However, the earliest surviving written records come from the Levantine [[Equatorial Ostiecia#Kingdom of Oustec|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]].

| ===Early History=== | |
| The region of Vespera, historically known as Capelranco, has been inhabited since at least 850 BC, with various indigenous tribes settling in the area. These early societies were primarily engaged in agriculture, fishing, and trade with neighboring regions.
| |
| ===Levantine Kingdom of Oustec ===
| |
| The first recorded written history of Vespera dates back to its inclusion within the Levantine Kingdom of Oustec, which lasted from the 16th to 19th centuries. During this period, Vespera was heavily influenced by the Levantines, particularly in terms of culture, language, and trade. The region's strategic location along the coast made it a valuable asset for the Levantine Kingdom, facilitating maritime trade and fostering economic growth.
| |
| === Burgoignesc Colonial Influence ===
| |
| As the Burgoignesc Colonial Empire expanded its maritime trading network across the globe, Vespera became increasingly influenced by Burgoignesc culture and politics. By the end of the First Great War, Capelranco was firmly under Burgoignesc control, sparking fear and panic among the Caphirian population regarding the fate of the Latins in the region.
| |
| ===Odurian War and Partition===
| |
| In response to the Burgoignesc occupation, Caphiria launched a surprise invasion of Outsec in 1858, initiating the Odurian War. The conflict culminated in a treaty on 1 December 1859 that partitioned the kingdom. The western lands of Arona gained independence, while the eastern lands were annexed by Caphiria to form the province of Vespera. The remaining territories of the Kingdom of Outsec became Equatorial Ostiecia, a constituent country of Burgundie.
| |
| ===Modern Vespera ===
| |
| In the years following its annexation by Caphiria, Vespera underwent significant social, economic, and infrastructural development. The province capitalized on its abundant natural resources and strategic location, establishing itself as a regional hub for trade and commerce. Today, Vespera is renowned for its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and thriving economy, earning the nickname "The Jewel of the West" and attracting visitors from around the world.
