Ragusa

Ragusa, officially the Republic of Ragusa, was a Slavic state located in Dalmatia on the Adriatic coast, surrounding the city of Ragusa which is known as Dubrovnik in modern times. Having broken away from Venice in 1358, they would briefly enjoy a positive relationship with the Ottomans until the Crusade of Varna. In the Varna series, Ragusa would eventually be reabsorbed into an Italian nation in 1523, that being the Italic Union.
== Independence from Venice ==
After Venice lost a war against Hungary in the 1350s, Venice was forced to relinquish claims to some of their Dalmatian possessions. Therefore, the Republic of Ragusa was formed as an independent state around the city of Ragusa (Dubrovnik). From 1430 onwards they enjoyed a cordial relationship with the Ottomans until their fall almost a century later, after which Ragusa was fully independent and fully alone.
== First Adriatic War / First Balkan War ==
Ragusa had defeated Bosnia in a war back in 1403/4. When Bosnia came back for revenge in 1479, the Italian League stood by Ragusa, which prompted Serbia to join the war against them. As Bosnia took most of Ragusa's land and besieged the city, Venice blockaded the Adriatic Sea, meaning the coastal sieges of other Italian-controlled Adriatic cities would soon be relieved alongside Ragusa. With Naples' failed naval landing at Zeta, Venice was able to land further north in Zadar, as well as helping the Ragusans break out of their siege. Serbia was soon distracted by a Bulgarian invasion, so Ragusa was able to regain control over their country and then invade Bosnia. In the war's concluding treaty, Ragusa annexed Travunia from Bosnia.
