Occitania

The Empire of the Occitans, Corsicans, Basques, Gallians, Africans, Palunis, Numidians, Baytikans, Lusitans, Ispanians, and Catalans, commonly known as Occitania, is a major nation in Western Europe. Formed on WD1 as the Kingdom of Occitania, it is the oldest nation in Season Three, extant or extinct, and is by all accounts the strongest nation, both in-lore and out-of-lore.
== Geography ==
Occitania is located in southern France. Its capital was for a long time Bordèu, though currently the capital city is Geneva.
== Early History (Kingdom Era) ==
=== Establishment and Initial Development ===
On WD1, Occitania was founded in Bordèu by iloveflareon, joined soon after by Scorpishift and SupBros. iloveflareon built a farm to get food for the players and, eventually, villagers. He also built a bridge, the Pont de Fusta e Pèira. Scorpishift went on a long mining trip, even venturing into the Nether. Two nether portals at Bordèu were constructed.
On WD2, iloveflareon and SupBros set out to build a fort near the Pillager Outpost in eastern Occitania, to more effectively control the region and oversee the containment of the outpost. Fòrt Freg Molon (roughly translating to Fort Bing Chilling) was completed over the night of WD1-WD2.
Later in WD2, iloveflareon constructed a grander bridge at the entrance to the Garona River, the Pont de Bordèu.
Also on WD2, SupBros collected villagers from a village in southern Spain (now part of Baytika). Using these, Scorpishift built a Villager Breeder.
=== Threat of War with Roma ===
On WD3, government officials from Roma traveled past Fòrt Freg Molon, heading towards a region north of the fort. There the Roman officials secured resources which could potentially be used as weapons against Occitania. King Frederic of Occitania (iloveflareon's in-game character) was immediately alerted of this threat, and initiated negotiations with Roma to de-escalate the crisis. However, during the negotiations, the King was appalled to hear a potential threat of war from the Roman negotiators.
The Occitan Royal Council was informed of this interaction soon afterward, and responded gravely. King Frederic, in an address to the nations of the world, stated that Occitania would not hesitate to mount an organized defense against Roma, should relations deteriorate further. Occitania also issued a request to all those from Roma to acquire permission from the King before entering Occitan territory, lest the Romans be implored by their government to further provoke the Occitans.
This warning served as a successful deterrent against any further Roman advances. In response, Roma negotiated an alliance with Dope People Land, seeing the Occitan statement as unjust and claiming that Roma had done no wrong. Still, peace was maintained between Occitania and the aggressive Italian nation.
