Litore

NOTE: This article is part of the Mitnavner world, which is a discontinued world, and one which its most prominent nation, Grebia, is no longer a part of. Revisions will not be made to this page, and you should expect to see poor writing, poor visual design, and odd or unusual names or naming patterns.Litore (LIH-tour), officially the United Republic of Litore is a small island nation located in the Jezerskan Ocean of the Mitnavner World. Litore consists of five islands, however most of the population is on the largest two. Litore shares no borders. The capital and largest city of Litore is Paradisum. Litore gained de facto independence after the Democratic Restoration Coup, and de jure independence after the collapse of the Payzdunen Monarchy. Litore is thought to be the most war-torn small island country in Mitnavner, having undergone four civil wars and five other clashes, civil conflicts, or military coups.

=== Prehistory ===
Litore's islands are mostly volcanic and likely formed an unknown amount of time due to this. They were most likely inhabited by seafaring Ile Rocheusan tribes around 1200 BCE, in which civilisation began on four of the five large islands. 
===Discovery and Colonisation (1513-1668)===
Some time between 4 June and 18 August 1513, Payzdunen explorer Henry Litore discovered the islands. Along with his crew and reported it as "a cluster of around six untouched islands, with white beaches and inland rainforests". They did not stay for long, but planted the Payzdunen flag on the island and dug out a small campsite in which they stayed for one night. They had supposedly reported an "abundance of small mammals of which can be used for food" on the island, and "various edible plants". Litore declared the islands to be "paradise" and word quickly reached explorers in Septland, Anguille, Jezersko, Payzdunez, and Satur. For the next 30 years, various ships attempted to reach the island. Four shipwrecked, one reached Grebia, and several others were stranded on the shore of Satur or Liebertierra. Most historians believe that 
=== First Settlements and First Conflicts (1668-1701) ===
In 1668, Payzdunen settlers finally arrived on the island to attempt to found a civilisation. Soon, they discovered that Litore's description of the island was partially wrong - there were only five islands, not six, and the islands were not uninhabited. Natives lived on four of the five islands. They spoke the Litoran language, a language bearing no similarities to other current Mitnavnerian languages. They were hostile to the settlers and fighting was frequent between them. This began the First Settler-Native Clashes, a 33 year long series of military clashes betwen Payzdunen settlers and native Litorans. A settler by the name of Thomas Viridi disliked these clashes and the large amount of casualties, and wanted peace on the island. He established a contract and provisionary government that stated that all four of the inhabited islands would be owned by the natives and the uninhabited island would be owned by the Payzdunen settlers, and land could be purchased from any island upon agreement of a fair price. The contract passed, though it was quickly discovered the fifth island was quite uninhabitable. The settlers bought a very large plot of land from the natives on the second largest island and Paradisum was founded. For 55 more years, peace would be maintained
=== Second Conflicts and Further Settlement (1701-1769) ===
Viridi's contract and rule was kept over the Payzdunen settlers until his death at the age of 71 in 1755. While the settlers knew his death was likely very soon, they did not prepare for a power gap. Quickly a provisionary government formed from the power gap. The contract was disbanded and the native town of Kalua was invaded by the settlers and taken. While the town was much smaller than Paradisum, throughout the entire islands, Payzdunen settlers were outnumbered by 1 to 12 by the native Litorans, and large battles commenced. Eventually, Payzdunen aid was sent to assist the colonists, and the war was won. Native Litorans either escaped to unoccupied nearby islands or were forcefully adapted into colonial Litoran life.

== Incidents in Litore ==
On 4 June 1973, a plane flying to the nearby island country of Côtier was flying over Kaikunane District on its way to Côtier. A Litoran anti-aircraft gun captured by LFDLDU troops shot down the plane, mistaking it as a Payzdunen plane bringing supplies to the Parti Monarchiste in Nordtlac District. It crashed in North Kaikunane Lake, close off the shore of a popular beach. Only 19 of the 200 passengers survived the crash. 
== Wars in Litore==
=== First Settler-Native Clashes (1668-1701) ===
The First Settler-Native Clashes was a series of several military clashes between the significantly outnumbered Payzdunen settlers on Nordtlac and Pikoakau Islands. The clashes were over land which could be colonised by the Payzdunen settlers. The exact amount of casualties caused due to the clashes is unknown, and the clashes ended in deadlock when Thomas Viridi ended the times with a truce over the conflicts. 
=== Second Settler-Native Clashes (1756-1769) ===
=== Septian Invasion of Litore (1832-1845) ===
=== First Litoran Civil War (1898-1905) ===
=== Native Rebellion (1921) ===
=== Democratic Restoration Coup (1943-1944) ===
About 20 years after the full autonomy, removal of Payzdunen presence, and only de facto Payzdunen control of Litore, political party and terrorist group Litorén Front De La Démocratie Unie attempted a military coup on the monarchist government. Various acts of terror were also commited in Litore throughout Paradisum and other cities in Capitale region, such as car bombings, boat sinkings, and several guerilla military tactics with the sole intention to kill government members. The monarch, Roi Bandera, was shot by a LFDLDU paramilitarist on 11 February 1944. Other figures assassinated or murdered were Jean Manette, the Payzdunen ambassador to Litore, the entire Monarchist family, and various Payzdunen minor government officials. The paramilitarists invaded the island and declared full independence. Payzdunez was fighting in the Second Great Mitnavner War and could not afford to send troops to Litore. The island remained under LFDLDU rule until 1961. 
=== Second Litoran Civil War (1961-1963) ===
"I have been to Insulam, I have been to Gaikeunder, and I have been to Satur. I have seen horrible things and been to horrible places. But no place has truly terrified me as much as Litore"- Unknown Payzdunen General
The Second Litoran Civil War was a three-way civil war often thought to be one of the most brutal in Litoran history. Monarchist rebels were fighting against the ruling LFDLDU party, and the newly-formed Litoré Pour la Libération, aiming for an anarcho-syndicalist Litore. Both the Parti Monarchiste and the LPLL were able to liberate small parts of land throughout it, until Payzdunen involvement began. Payzdunez was strongly supportive of the Parti Monarchiste, and Payzdunen and Monarchist forces were able to eventually topple the LFDLDU government and crush the LPLL rebels. The war was largely a guerilla warfare operation, with all three sides enaging mostly in surprise attacks against enemy bases. It is generally believed that all sides had commited war crimes of some sorts, with chemical warfare being reported in Pikoakau Distric

===Political Parties===
While there are no elections officially held, the "Parti Monarchiste" claims itself to be a party and a militant group that frequently acts as "Litore's second military". The Parti Monarchiste has no official representation in major politics, but in Nordtlac and Sittintriunali Districts, elections are held for the "mayor" of the country, and both candidates are mandated to be Parti Monarchiste members.

===Language===
There are three official languages in Litore - Payzdunen, Litoran, and Septian. Both Payzdunen and Litoran are both frequently spoken by Litoran citizens and many signs and texts are written in translations of both languages. While Septian is sometimes spoken in Nostraterra District and Sangpartagé District, it is far less prevalant than Payzdunen and Litoran. During the rule of the LFDLDU, both Payzdunen and Septian were outlawed and punishable by prison if an individual was heard speaking them. 
===Religion===
There are roughly three main religions worshipped in Litore, but there are many more worshipped throughout the island. Crucisism is the most common religion, with 72.5% of the island claiming to be a Crucist of any denomination. About 16% of the island believes in Litoran neopagan religion or other native Litoran religion. Roughly 6.2% claims to be atheist or agnostic.

Île Rocheuse - Friendly
Île Rocheuse aided the Parti Monarchiste during the third and fourth Litoran civil wars. Litore is also one of the very few countries to not recognise Rusney as a country.
Jezersko -
 - Friendly
Grebia has supplied the Monarchist government with military supplies historically, and has come out against the LFDLDU. In response to this, various anti-Grebian graffiti made by LFDLDU terrorists was seen throughout Litore, largely glorifying the Septian invasion of Grebia and claiming that once they stopped the Monarchy, they would "liberate" the Eusequep natives from the "slavers". This graffiti was quickly removed by government officials.

Payzdunez - Friendly
The ruling Parti Monarchiste is very strongly in support of Payzdunez. Payzdunez assisted in the second, third, and fourth Litoran civil wars militarily, likely contributing to their victory in the second and fourth wars. However, the LFDLDU is very strongly against Payzdunez, and have been known to kill or severely injure Payzdunen citizens within the country, and commit vandalism or sometimes even arson to houses flying Payzdunen flags. 
Pugna -
Robra -
Rusney - Semi-Hostile
The popular socialist Rusney Liberation Army has come out in support of the Litorén Front De La Démocratie Unie, and the Litoran Parti Monarchiste has accused the Rusney government of supplying the LFDLDU terrorists with money and supplies, a claim that was neither confirmed nor denied by the Rusney government. This claim went further online when a propaganda poster seen in Rusney containing the words "LIBERATE OUR LITORAN BROTHERS" surfaced and went viral online. Since these events, Litore withdrew all diplomatic ties with Rusney and continues to claim it to be a rebellious autonomous province of Ile Rocheuse.

*In the early 1900s, before the Democratic Restoration Coup, Litore was a very popular tourist destination for Mitnavnerians going on holiday. However, after it was discovered that LFDLDU members were frequently killing Payzdunen natives, the tourism industry almost fully stopped and many former resort towns completely economically failed and fell into rampant poverty. When Payzdunen citizens in Port Chêne, Payzdunez were asked if they would feel safe visiting Litore, 92% said no. While the LFDLDU has mostly been taken care of, it still frequently launches attacks throughout some districts of Litore.
