Lucrecia: Difference between revisions

A popular tourism spot, the Lucrecian economy has begun to grow with the rising service sector to accompany the otherwise agriculture dependent nation.

==History==

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 ad Mare'' was established at their first arrival and became the predominant cultural and political force in the archipelago. Historians generally agree ''Emerita ad Mare'' 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.

===Domination by the Imperium===

Staying neutral throughout the First Great War to focus on the development of its infrastructure and economy, Prime Minister Empastiro who was in office during the years leading up to the [[Second Great War]] and its initial years was interested in joining the war to curry favor with [[Caphiria]]. Described as a nationalist and an idealist, Empastiro had ignored how damaging the war would be to the nation economically and demographically, especially with its military equipment consisting mostly of outdated weapons from the [[First Great War]]. The military eventually found out about Empastiro's ambitions, and staged a coup to overthrow the Prince and Prime Minister. General Demethanos, already a popular figure with the people, assumed a leadership position in the nation, declaring that the military intends to only hold power for the duration of the Second Great War, holding free elections after the end of the conflict to ensure no foreign influence in the election.

On June 8 1967, the Lucrecian Revolutionary Front seized power from the military junta which had lead the country since 1934. Following the coup, the name of the island country was changed to the People's Republic of Athíva, and began preparing the country for self-sufficiency. The leaders of the newly established People's Republic imprisoned and executed all leading figures of the former military junta, and eventually began to imprison and execute anyone with ties to the military junta.  

Following the Athívan imprisonment and execution of COUNTRYn ambassador to Lucrecia Viceri Battanari, the COUNTRYLEADER declared the People's Republic a rogue state and dispatched two Imperial Guard battalions to spearhead the [[Operation Jailbird|liberation of Lucrecia]]. The Imperial Guard battalions and the accompanying companies quickly seized the capital, but the Lucrecian resistance continued until 1969 when the last leading figures of the People's Republic were captured. Close friend of the COUNTRYLEADER, Spiraklis Anastrotsis was appointed as the Archon of the new Archontia of Lucrecia, and both their constitution and legislature was recreated, basing it on the COUNTRY constitution and legislature.
