Codici

**Codici** (officially the **Kingdom of Codici**) is an island country in Seaneaus located in the southeastern Covenian Ocean in the Sintopian world. It is a medium-sized archipelago located off the west coast of Loudonia across the Ventocian Sea and consisting of four larger major islands and some smaller islands. The four largest islands are Levessee, Siphify, Rawsword, and Cumbaya. They are also treated as provinces by the government. Codici has a mountainous, volcanic and hilly landscape due to its location on the boundaries of the Loudonian and Covenian plates making the country prone to some quakes and frequent volcanic eruptions. Codician is the country's originally spoken native language, while English, Italian, Portuguese and Sintopian are the other languages spoken by the Codician peoples. Saint Lawrence is the country's capital, located on the center of the island of Levessee. Codicilia is the largest and most populous city, located on the west coast of the island of Cumbaya. Two other settlements of city status are located on other islands. Bendwood is the largest settlement on the island of Rawsword, Terasia is the largest and only city on the island of Siphify. The islands of Codici are known for their tropical and subtropical climate due to their position in the Tropic of Sagittarius. Codici's beaches are composed of white, brown, and yellow sands.

They settled on the islands and developed a unique culture, language, and religion. They also established trade and diplomatic relations with other civilizations in Sintopia, such as the Loudonians, the Covenians, and the Sintopians.

### **Colonial Codici**

In the 35th century, Codici was discovered by Mediteuropean explorers, who were attracted by its natural resources and strategic location. The islands were colonized by different European powers, mainly Italy and Portugal, who imposed their languages, laws, and religions on the Codicians. The colonial period lasted until the 39th century, when Codici gained its independence from modern day Loudonia after a series of wars and revolutions.

### **Modern Codici**

In the 40th century, Codici faced many challenges and opportunities as a newly independent nation.
