Map of Corsica

**Corsica** (formerly knwon as Bastia) is a nation primarily located on the North Tyrrhenian islands near the shore of Florence and Imperia. Corsica is an island nation bordered by the Chiavari Sea and the Capital Sea. St. Gianetta is the Seat of the Nation; other major cities include Casa del Duca, Cauro, Fozzano, Porto-Vecchio. Corsica is most noted in Adria as the secondary naval powerhouse, closely behind Capital, despite its much smaller size.

## History

Corsica was initially a settlement of Capital, called Bastia, the first city of the settlement was St. Gianetta first established in -569 EM.

The Bastian citizens grew furious with their mother Nation. Corsica Vizzini joined the Corsican Independence Movement in -260. The same year Bastia declared themselves independent. Corsica's Sibyl background allowed Corsica to capture the minds of the Corsican rebels. He would quickly show mastery of tactical combat, allowing the human soldiers to outperform the Capital Helletrooper. At the time Capital was spread thin among its many colonies. After the death of Emperor Ermasso Thane II, the citizens put pressure on the Noble Council to end the war against Corsican Rebels. On 41.G.-252 the Corsican army successfully trapped and killed a single Helletrooper. When Capital heard the news all military presence was immediately removed by order of Virone Athen. Caesar Virone Athen met with Corsica Vizzini on 47.G.-252 EM and drafted a peace treaty, allowing the new nation, Bastia (later Corsica), full sovereignty.

The new nation was led by Corsica Vizzini. Corsica desired a nation free of the feudal and patriarchal politics of its mother nation. Though this was contested by the noble patriarchy of old Bastia. Political turmoil ensued while Corsica was elected Prime Minister of Bastia. Feudalism was deconstructed in this period. All Nobles were stripped of titles and temporary regents were elected by the Bastia cabinet. In the following 8 years, some regents were deposed and dutifully elected by their constituents. For the first time in Florentine history, women were now allowed to hold property, political office, and claim complete freedom from the patriarchy. This was the period of Free Bastia. This greatly angered the deposed Bastian Nobility, though the majority of citizens were in favour of the newfound democracy.

On 69.Z.-225 a coup of the former Noble court and some cabinet members was launched. Corsica Vizzini was assassinated and the new leader Vasco Biapetti. Vasco Biapetti made a speech later that season, declaring Bastia to be renamed Corsica.

> It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Corsica Vizzini. An unknown terrorist group attacked the Democratic Cabinet today, killing Prime Minister Vizzini and tens of members of the Cabinet. As the highest-ranking living member of the Democratic Cabinet, I now claim total Regency of Corsica. Corisca Vizzini will be missed, and in his honour this Nation will now be known as Corsica.

Though it was widely assumed that Corsica was assassinated, the public was fearful of their new leaders. In the next 4 years, women would be stripped of their rights, the Cabinet would be dismantled and feudalism would be reinstated. However, Corsica was not forgotten and his attempts of democracy have been framed in education as a flawed governmental system, which could not compete with superior Feudalism.
