Venutia

Venutia (Venutian: Venuto), officially the Kingdom of Venutia (Venutian: Digino di Venuto), is a sovereign state located in Southern Eurea, bordered by Regia to the south, west, and north, and with maritime borders with Horvatia, Gornia, and Travenia to the east. Its capital and most-populous city is Pavoli, located on the southeastern coast of the country. Venutia has a population of about 17.4 million inhabitants.
Organized civilization first began in the territory of modern-Venutia in the 4th-century, with the establishment of a number of small city-states. These city-states later unified to form the Kingdom of Venutia in the 12th-century. Venutia was considered to be one of the twelve Regian kingdoms which dominated the region for several centuries. With the unification of Regia occurring in the 19th-century, Venutians overwhelmingly opposed unifying with the other Regian kingdoms. Because of this fierce opposition, Venutia ultimately decided to remain independent of the unification effort and continued to develop on its own as an independent kingdom.
At the time of its foundation, Venutia functioned as an absolute monarchy, with all power vested in the Monarch. The constitution was altered in 1856, establishing Venutia as a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy. With this, the Monarch became to function as a ceremonial head of state, wielding no real political power. They formally appoint ministers, sign all passed legislation, serve as the ceremonial commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and act as a unifying figure for the nation, but they express no political opinions of their own and refrain from political debate. All political power is vested in the Prime Minister, who serves as the head of government. The Prime Minister is considered to be the chief legislator of the nation and leads a council of ministers. They are responsible for implementing their policy agenda through legislating. Typically, the Prime Minister is the leader of the governing coalition in parliament. The bicameral parliament of Venutia consists of the Senate – the 50-seat upper house – and the National Assembly – the 335-seat lower house.
Of its population of about 17.4 million people, approximately 95.7% identifies as ethnically Venutian. A further 3.1% identifies as Regian, while the remaining 1.2% identifies as belonging to other ethnic groups. The sole national and official language of Venutia is Venutian, a Proto-Regian language. Many linguists consider Venutian to be a dialect of the Regian language, as the languages are mutually intelligible and speakers can typically understand each other nearly perfectly. Venutian is spoken natively by approximately 92.8% of the population, while the remaining 7.2% speaks other languages natively, often Regian. Most Venutians are also fluent in Regian, although it holds no official status; approximately 94.5% of the population say that they are "completely" able to communicate in the Regian language. Approximately 80.6% of the population adheres to Eurean Catholicism. A further 1.2% adheres to other Christian churches, 0.8% to other religions, while 17.4% identifies as atheist, agnostic, or irreligious. Approximately 39.1% of the population states that they attend religious services at least weekly.
