Porcinia, officially the Kingdom of Porcinia, was a Kingdom of Cartonia, home to the pig species. It suffered defeat in the War and was divided between Psittancyna and Vulpus.
Porcinia was located in the north, bordering Psittancyna to the north, Ursus to the west, Phantine to the southwest, and Canis to the southeast. It was also on the waters of the Eastern Ocean. 
==Geography==
As a northern nation, Porcinia was prone to cooler climates. Harsh winters were common, but the inhabiting species was resilient against these changes. The Cartonian River broke off into the Boar's Head, which flowed through Porcinia into the Terrier River. 
==History==
Porcinia pledged allegiance to the Harmony Crown in the Year 1, thus uniting the Cartonian continent. It follows Psittancyna and precedes Ursus in the rotation. 
At the outbreak of the War in 708, Porcinia declared neutrality. After the Vixen Queen abolished the Harmony Crown in February 709, eight further nations rushed into the conflict. Despite this, Porcinia and its ally Ursus maintained their neutralities. Their neutrality was challenged after the November 709 execution of the Galligasque Royal Family, but it held. However, after Vulpus murdered Ana III of Simeone, a neutral monarch and a child, Porcinia could stay silent no longer and joined the Granite Bloc in January 710. 
By 717, the trenches of Porcinia were overwhelmed by parrots. The trespassing on Porcinian soil forced King Bacon to issue a mandatory evacuation to northern communities. 20 resettlement camps were constructed in the south of the country near Canis, and thousands of pigs were shuttled there to prevent civilian slaughter. 
Porcinia was nearly defeated by the autumn of 725. Sowtown was surrounded by Psittancynesian forces. Bacon IV signed a proclamation naming Diana Loudoun, his distant cousin, as heir to the throne. He ordered the liberation of O Camp, where she was a refugee, and thus the Porcinian royal family was preserved when the Loudouns joined a secret expedition out of Cartonia. 
Porcinia surrendered in November 725. King Bacon, Queen Roseanna, Bake Hamleigh, and other members of the royal family were executed. The territory was divided between Psittancyna and Vulpus. 
==Trivia==

*The flag of Porcinia consists of dark pink stripes on a lighter pink field. Each stripe represents a different subspecies of pigs that lives in Porcinia. 
*The capital of Sowtown is named after a word for pigs: a sow.
