Citta Vecchia

Citta Vecchia is a microstate founded in 8015, on Earth, in the Ancient Italy, by two AWOL officers from the Briserian Federation.

## History

Citta Vecchia, or "Old City", is a rebellious microstate, comprised majoritarily of indigenous, non-integrated humans from Earth, after the Second Apocalypse.

The last law published by the UGF, was the protection of the indigenous humans, not adapted to Briserian-Promethean culture and life. It included the compulsory foundation of a separate, independent government agency by every nation that controls Earth. For now, Earth is regulated by the EHPS and the Holy Directorates.

Citta Vecchia, previously a large recorded settlement of indigenous humans, was one of the first ever recorded proper city on Earth by indigenous humans.

They developed extremely quickly, from industry to science. It is theorized that they had access to an "IDS Box" - a box made to help redevelop civilization in case of an apocalypse. Factories and industry has been developed, making Citta Vecchia extremely developed compared to other indigenous settlements.

## Hostility

Citta Vecchia's military, the "Praetorian Guard", is comprised of stolen military vehicles, helicopters, and armaments from the Federated Briserian States. According to the EHPS, they possess at least one MAK 20 fighter, and multiple IDS VH.

A Restriction Zone of about 780 km² has been set up around the city, with total interdiction for civilians to approach Citta Vecchia.

According to the EHPS, at least 79 other indigenous settlements are partially or completely dependent on Citta Vecchia, and regularly trade with. This makes Citta Vecchia impossible to destroy or annex, due to language barrier, and protections set up by their government.

### Vecchian Armed Forces

The Vecchian Armed Forces are comprised of about 5,000 soldiers, called the "Praetorian Guard". Equipped with weapons indigenously built, namely from retro-engineered assault rifles, handguns and other individual weaponry from the Federation.

The Vecchian Navy is comprised of a mix of torpedo boats, and sailing ships. Multiple sailing ships with anti-aircraft armament has been sighted but never used.

## Status

Due to its particular status as being an uncontrolled entity with equal armament as the Federated States, the FBS removed the EHPS from managing Citta Vecchia, and delegated directly IDS, and the Commandery Military Order Of Earth. Three regiments has been deployed near Citta Vecchia, surrounding it.

## Current conflict

Citta Vecchia's outer region is filled with landmines, machine gun nests, foxholes, and other fortifications, making an invasion difficult. Infiltration by IDS, Commandery, and even Holy Directorates' agents has been attempted numerous times, but their language has not been deciphered yet.

With the heavy presence of indigenous settlements near Citta Vecchia, and their dependence to it, renders a bombardment fruitless and will cause unnecessary suffering to a large part of the indigenous European population.

## Confederal Commission on Citta Vecchia (CCCV)

The Confederal Commission on Citta Vecchia, or CCCV, is a commission founded by the EHPS, the Commandery Military Order Of Earth, the Holy Directorates and IDS. This commission's role is to monitor, restrict and attempt to reconquer Citta Vecchia.

As the Vecchian question became too sensitive, dangerous and difficult to manage for the EHPS. EHPS raids and studies were met with heavy artillery fire, landmines and machinegun fire.
