San Vitor

San Vitor (Portuguese: São Vitor), officially the Duchy of San Vitor (Portuguese: Ducado de São Vitor), is a landlocked monarchist sovereign state located in northern Tapanthia. It borders Galberia to the northwest, Mastalia to the north, Elsovia to the east, Sennington to the south, and Aldania to the west. San Vitor has a population of 7,281,568, making it the 83rd-largest country by population worldwide, and the 21st-largest in Tapanthia. The capital and largest city of San Vitor is Vitoridade.
One of the oldest countries in Tapanthia, its territory has been continuously settled, invaded and fought over since prehistoric times. The territory was first inhabited by many Amacan tribes. It was later ruled over by Slavic communities, before it's invasion by the Lusitanians. Founded first as a county within Elsovia in 868 as a protective buffer state similarly to nearby Mastalia, the country officially gained its independence as the Duchy of San Vitor with the signing of the Treaty of Vitoridade in 1236. San Vitor maintained a policy of neutrality, fearing a possible invasion from it's western neighbours. During this period of neutrality, San Vitor experienced a renaissance of it's own, exploring art, music, and culture. Many of San Vitor's artists have left major marks on the history of visual arts and have inspired the works of many other artists around the world. San Vitor remained neutral throughout both the Great War and the Cold War.
San Vitor is a developed country. It is a member of the GUIS and the Tapanthian Republic.
