| '''Veraise''', officially the '''Veraise Territory''' is an overseas incorporated territory of the [[Alstin|United Republic]], located in mainland southern Crona bordering [[Kartejya]] to the south and [[Credesia]] to the east and north.
| | ==Causes== |
|
| |
|
| ==Geography== | | ==Ninerivers Campaign== |

| |
|
| |
|

| |
| Veraise was inhabited by the Cartesian people and their ancestors for several millennia before the arrival of [[Levantia|Levantines]]. During the [[Timeline_of_major_world_events#17th_century|Age of Exploration]], Veraise was settled by the [[Burgoignesc_North_Levantine_Trading_Company#Colonial_ventures|Martillien North Levantine Trading Company (MNLC)]] under the navigator Jean-Claude Gastineau, establishing a trading post and way station that he dubbed Port-Verde (present-day Gastineau) in [[1593]].
| |
|
| |
|
| | ==Conclusion and Aftermath== |
|
| |
|
| During the [[Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars]], Veraise was attacked by the [[Ehemo]]ans, who were friendly to the [[Kiravia]]ns at the time, but was never captured or occupied. It was, however, eventually sold ceded to [[Ehemo]]an control in [[1812]], as the costs in holding the territory began to outweigh its benefits.
| |
|
| |
|
| Under [[Ehemo]]an rule, Veraise became known as the "Lynchpin", as its location near the mouth of the Carte River allowed for [[Ehemo]] to not only influence indirectly neighboring [[Kartejya]], but also secured the [[Ehemo]]an core against an invasion from the south. Nevertheless, the local Veroui (people of Burgoignesc descent) increasingly grew discontent over the next two centuries as a result of their unofficial status as second-class citizens, as well as a lack of autonomy in regional affairs. This culminated in the Veroui Revolt, in which the Veroui assisted the [[United Republic]] in driving the [[Ehemo]]ans out of Veraise, as part of the then-concurrent [[Kartejyan War]]. As part of the Treaty of Dawsbury, which ended the war in January [[2020]], Veraise was transferred to and annexed by the [[United Republic]] as an autonomous territory.
