### Puerto Azul Province

Puerto Azul was the renamed province of Venice. Venice was a former city founded by the United Kingdom of Italy. The United Kingdom of Italy had built up the area but had left it unfinished. They had left farms and materials which upon the arrival of Ibizan explorers aboard the TPS Guigsy were used by Ibizan Settlers. The settlers worked on the city and made an agreement with prominent nations in the community like the King of Sverenia and the Emperor of the Baltic Empire to claim it as a International Trade city. As Ibiza already had open borders this way easy to do. The harbour was newly constructed there and the farms and buildings were upgraded. The shipping route between Venice and Ibiza was becoming very well known and used by locals transporting items like cobblestone to and from Ibiza. However the prosperity didnt last as Hazerd joined the server, He threatend Ibiza and told them to give him Venice. They complied and the nation lost its golden province. Hazerds new Roman Empire didnt make any effort to continue the Ibizan works and it was once again left in dissaray. This was until the Entente Alliance who was threatend by the Roman Empire offered to help Ibiza against Hazerd who had been increasingly angry twoards them. The Entente forced Hazerd into a war with Ibiza which the Ibiza and Entente won. Following this war Ibiza went to venice and took back their land. Until The Entente claimed it to the Serbian Empire. Ibiza then claimed the land back and it seemed like war was inevitable, Until Norway proposed a 2 state sosolution there. Serbia took the other half and Ibiza took the rest. Ibizas side flourished whilst the Serbian side has an uncompleted church. the Habour there is large and is continually worked on by Ibizans.
