Map of claimable areas showing the territory of Arboria in green

The Lands of Arboria, simply referred to as Arboria, is an Oligarchy that is headed by its Great Council. Located in the central Western area of Cinder [-2500, -1000], the nation borders Ritannia's province of Barbacena to its West, The Order of the Water Lily to its Northeast, and Nauticca to its South. Arboria shares territory with both Nauticca (in the Southwestern claims of Arboria) and both Cauldra and Nauticca on behalf of the Western Pact (due South of its Capitol, Verdania).

Etymology

The name of Arboria is derived from the Latin word of 'Arbor', which means tree. Trees are a focal point of Arborian settlements and culture.

History

Pre-Arboria

Long before the nation of Arboria even existed, the initial Testifikaan village that made up the original settlement of Verdania was a now defunct nation, Circosia [-2500, -1000]. Circosia would be dissolved on the 1st of January, 2024.

Following the abandonment, the first settlers of Arboria, Moth and VexForce, arrived in the Testifikaan village on the 16th of March, 2024. Whilst VexForce would go off to become a citizen under the Monarchy of Yergola, Moth would develop the lands into a stateless city. Within the unnamed stateless city would entail rapid development over the course of a week. Within this time, iconic landmarks such as the Verdania Community House, the Verdania Trading Hall, and the Great Tree would be constructed.

The Great Tree would become the very heart and soul of the city of Verdania, along with the very nation of Arboria, as it would influence the actions of the government and the cultural beliefs of the Arborian people and their affinity with nature.

Founding of Arboria

The region in which the stateless city was founded was very active. It was surrounded on just about every side by other nations. The city remained under the radar from the public of Cinder, until eventually it would make its way upon the map with Arannese scouts looking to expand into the region. The idea of the city being claimed over was a concern of Moth for sometime. Foreign scouts looking to claim over this region only raised concerns further.

After much deliberation, the consensus was to establish and maintain sovereignty over their city and the surrounding land.

With the Great Tree being the pride of her people, Arboria was officially founded upon the 1st of April, 2024, by the current members of its Great Council, namely Moth, VexForce, JamesTowne, and SheepKingSheep, with the sight of foundation being the city of Verdania.

List of Settlements

Verdania

Verdania is the Capital of Arboria. It was the very first location to be settled into by the original Arborians.

Geography

Arboria is a vast and diverse landscape. The Eastern portions of Arboria, primarily Verdania, Mossy Nook, and Willowmere, are almost exclusively plains, with giant trees and much greener decorating the population epicenters. Meanwhile, the Northwestern, Western, and Southwestern parts of Arboria are almost all flat savanna. While the biomes of Arboria are primarily made up of both plains and savanna biomes, a large mountain peak separates the city of Verdania from the town of Mossy Nook. The Evonian Sea comprises the Eastern coastline of Arboria.
