New Veltorina is the nation-state of the [[Veltorine people]]. Veltorines people began to settle in northwestern [[Crona]] in the 1950s as part of a movement to find a new homeland following the conquest of the original [[Veltorina]] by [[Caphiria]] at the conclusion of the [[First Great War]]. Veltorine people initially received significant benefits and unique rights from the government of [[Zurgite Varshan]] due to the technical expertise they brought to the declining regime, but these rights gradually declined and the territory in which Veltorines lived - the Brudxaan Province - was conquered by [[Quetzenkel]]. Veltorines received some status in Quetzenkel and Veltorines continued to migrate to the territory from Sarpedon. Conditions gradually worsened as political stability in Quetzenkel declined, precipitating the [[South Nysdra War]] in the 2010s and [[Urcea]]n intervention. Following that intervention, the Veltorines established their first independent state in a century with the proclamation of the Principality of [[Cetsencalia]], a declaration which led to precipitous migration of remaining Veltorines from the Occident to the territory. The growth of an Occidental population in northern Crona was particularly offensive to the government and people of Varshan, and when Varshan began the [[Final War of the Deluge]] against Urcea, Cetsencalia was its first target. Cetsencalia eventually capitulated to Varshani occupation, beginning a slow-moving genocide of Veltorine people in the territory. The genocide was interrupted by the advanced of Urcean and allied forces, which liberated the territory and placed it under the [[Veltorine Territories]] occupation government. Subsequently, popular political movements under the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]] participated in the liberation of the country, and following the war the VPDC took control of the country. Negotiations between it and the sometimes-rival [[Veltorine government-in-exile]] resulted in a merger and the formation of a new, unified New Veltorine state in [[2026]] under the [[New Veltorine Provisional Government]]. A constitution was subsequently ratified in [[2028]]. | |||

The country is the "New Veltorine Republic", signifying both the geographical position of the territory (in [[Crona]], distinct from old [[Veltorina]]) as well as a degree of continuity from the original Veltorine Republic. The territory underwent several name changes during the 2010s and 2020s. The first Veltorine state in Crona, [[Cetsencalia]], was a latinization of the name of [[Quetzenkel]], from whom it gained indepenence. After the capitulation of Cetsencalia during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], this name was considered to have negative connotations, and the territory was reorganized as the Urcean military rectory of the [[Veltorine Territories]]. Subsequent negotiations between Veltorine factions produced the name "New Veltorine Republic", primarily as a concession to the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]]. | |||
