**Adria** is a region of Central Medimare which borders Chiavar to the east and Illyria to the west. The Patron Angel of Adria is Aion, father of Corus and Caerus.

## History

Since Scorched Earth Adria was the cradle of humanity, due to the presence of the GK-Class Doomsday Terraformer, commonly called Harpē. Adria boasts the largest population of any region due to this and continues to thrive today.

In Krýo -27 EM tests conducted at the Carrefour Lazaretto Archeology Site in Capital on what is thought to be Arcadian technological remains, confirmed that humans have inhabited Capital since the beginning of Scorched Earth.

In Thora of -24 EM through testing it was confirmed that the GKCDT actively removes radioactive elements from the air. This and the discovery of Ancient Media involving HRP Global. Solidified the Arcadian Doomsday Theory proposed by Ms. Angelo De Maio.

## Geography & Subregions

Though the region is ambiguous many consider the lands south of the Tauredunum Mountains to be in Adria. This includes Veneti, Vittorio, Quirico, Caera, Cartenaccio, Altamura, and Capital. As well as the bordering island nations of Corsica, Hinan and Suwon.

### Florence

Florence is the center of Adrian culture, politics, and religion. Stereotypical Adrians are usually depicted in high Florentine fashion.

### Imperia

Imperia, also called the Imperian shoes, is a culture largely influenced by Florence and The Adriatic Steppe. They are Venetian in commerce, social affairs, and religion, but admire urbanization and stability.

### Adriatic Steppe

The Adriatic Steppe, also known as Venetia (not to be confused with Veneti), is dominated by large river valley surrounded by the Tauredunum Mountains. Most population is nomadic. Modern Adriatic horses originated from this area. Venetians excel at horsemanship and archery. Venetian Bows and Arrows are a coveted good among Medimare.

### Tyrrhenia

Tyrrhenia is a collection of islands between the Capital and Chiavari Sea. It is dominated by two main cultures, that of Sukojia and Bastia (Florentine).

#### Island of Bastia

Bastians, usually referred to as Corsicans, are Florentine in culture. This is because the island was colonized by Capital settlers in -569 EM. Although other cultures existed on the island far before Capital influence, all natives were assimilated or killed.

#### Island of Sukojia

Sukojia is the largest of the Tyrrhenian Islands, by population and area. It is completely unique to Adria, unrelated to any other sub-region in culture and language. 3434 years ago the island was declared a place of refuge for the Philippines, South China, Celebs, Java, Banda, Japanese, Okhotsk, and Bismark Sea. Refugees flooded the island and a shared pidgin language and culture was developed. This ancient culture was the origin of Modern Sukojian culture. Sukojians are patriarchal but unlike the rest of Adria are homophobic, xenophobic, and sexophobic. Despite this, Sukojians believe in democracy and equality for all of their citizens, even if their current political structure does not reflect his.

## Language and Culture

Adria is primarily Florentine in Culture. Major exceptions to this are Sukojia and rural Veneti. These are culturally distinct entities.
