Savoie, Savoy (Kingdom of Savoy, fr. Royaume de Savoie, ger. Königreich von Savoie, lat. Regnum Sabaudiae) is an autonomous Venetian province located in the west part of Alps, southern Europe. The capital of Savoy is Savoie, formally Chambéry. The current leader of the province is Thanamos.
History
The early days
On the launch day of Terra Aurora, Thanamos, Vladie, Lamye and CorbeauNoiraud founded the town of Chambéry. The concept in the mind was establishing a nation based on the historical kingdom of Piemont-Sardinia. Soon after in June 2022 the first major build was built: The castle of the Counts of Savoie, based on a Merovingian dungeon.
In mean time, several former citizens of Terra Nova's France came to settle their towns in Savoy. During the Savoyard expansion, Switzerland blocked the nation's extension. Therefore, Duke Thanamos, Vladie57 (Mayor of Chambéry) and many town's members became inactive. Thanamos left the city for Rome, Papal States with assistance to then Pope, BenedictXVII. The city remained inactive for over a year and let a succession of several individuals (Bisougai, Phoenix and M4GM4). During this period, town of Chambéry became just another possession of Papal States and eventually Francia.
National revival
Around April 2023, Thanamos came back to Chambéry (from then on renamed to Savoie), which was then a small settlement without no real urbanized and residential areas. Rather than that, the hamlet realized a protective function of French borders in the Alps. Very soon, Thanamos and Vladie started to develop the surroundings with houses and renovate the castle of Savoy. In this time, the first Savoyard church of St. Maurice has been built.
Later, several people mainly from Terra Nova's France started joining back the town, such as Wide_Chungoos (He helped with development of the town). Over time, Savoie gained prestige and importance within the French community. However due to the civil war between Francia and France, King Vladie57 decided to leave Papal States and proclaim Savoie's independence.
The escalade against Geneva
After being humiliated for over a year by then inactive Switzerland, Duke Thanamos decided to take an action against them. In the beginning on May 2023, he launched a huge gold requisition among Papal States. With help of his friend Zwipexx, he purchased Switzerland and Geneva. The town was given to Bisougai and the nation was handed over to Zwipexx. In the following weeks, Savoie obtained towns of Sion and Annecy for free after scamming Switzerland. In that moment, Duke Thanamos said "You cannot scam a Swiss because they aren't human" (truly legendary quote). Consequence of that was a small not-so-impactful Swiss raid on Sion. Since then, Savoie became the leader of Alps region. In mean time, Vladie57 left for assisting the Church.
Union with Tyrol
Before the unification with Tyrol, Savoyard towns were not having their own nation, they were rather wandering around nations. Tyrol was a small eastern Austrian nation led by Zwipexx, which he got after co-operating with Thanamos. Tyrol consisted of three towns, capital of Fritzens, Fritzner-Einöde and Chur. On 12 August 2023, both regions agreed onto and united into the Kingdom of Savoy-Tyrol. The capital was moved to Savoie and the event was held in Saint Maurice Church two days later.
Conflict between Savoy and Vivarais
Conflict was aroused around the city of Venaissin ruled by marshtells. On 22 August 2023, the dispute was resolved, and the town joined Savoie (Savoie-Tyrol). City of Aosta (or Aincard) was officially recognized as Vivarais'. Both parties sweared to not seak for revenge and not violate their territorial integrity.
Great fire of Saint Maurice Church
A building fire of Saint Maurice Church occurred on 13 September 2023 at 17:30 in the capital of Savoy, Savoie. The fire started inside, causing the tower to fall and all of the wood to burn. Alleged casualties were 3 people. The Church has been rebuilt in the following months.
Diplomatic expeditions
On 2 October 2023, Zwipexx, Prince of Savoy, signed a non-aggression pact with Venetian leader, CorruptedGreed. Soon after, on 5 October 2023, another non-aggression treaty was signed with the Danubian Confederation's leader, Bobbobster. The same day, Savoy made an accord with Vivarais and Francia, named "Treaty of Reims". On 19 October 2023, Treaty of Chambery (and then the one of Torino) obliged Monaco and Savoy to co-operation and solidification of borders.
Joining the Holy Roman Empire
After discussing with founding members, Savoy formed the Holy Roman Empire together with Israel, Francia, Vivarais, Bourgogne, nation of United Kingdom and Burundi. By the first imperial election, Thanamos was chosen the Emperor (Augustus Caesar Imperator), that ruled since December 2023.
The unnamed era
On 5 November 2023, Savoy declared war against Poitou-Charentes due to invasion of claims. Allegedly, Poitou-Charentes was always being hostile to Savoy, and now "it was the time to settle it". In November and December, national diplomat 3meraldK announced and was working on the national road project, which connected all Savoyard towns by 28 December 2023. The main road goes through the Alps for over 1000 blocks.
Joining Venice
On 17 March 2024, Savoy left the Holy Roman Empire and joined the Venice as an autonomous province. According to the treaty, all towns left Savoie and joined the republic. The nation is expected to be sold, deleted or maintained as a spawn location to Savoie city. The reasoning behind leaving the Holy Roman Empire is lack of time of mayors and incapability of the Holy Roman Empire supporting militarly and economically. Also, in the eyes of Thanamos, the Empire has lost its prestige and main purpose a few months ago. The empire was also allegedly subjected to corruption and cronyism. Besides that, the nation reached the milestone of 100 residents the same day.
Geography
The controlled territory is mainly composed of mountains, the Alps to be specific. The core province of the nation named Savoy lies at the foot of the western Alps. On the east, there are two towns, Krn and Graz, which neighbor the east Alps. The north of the territory with Geneva is under the valley of Joux and the Swiss plateau.
The Lemen lake constitue the major water point in the area. Snow compose the majority of the territory. The geological soil of Savoie is rich in minerals such as iron and coal. However in the globalized and monopolized economy of EarthMC, these resources are pointless.
The Nation of Savoie is an enclave (a territory with no access to sea). Its neighbors are Monaco, Venice, France, Genoa and the Holy Roman Empire.
