===Prehistory===
====Early Venice====
 
Venice was founded on May 1st 2022 as the 2nd nation on the server. It used an oligarchical governing system, where nobles from different familial houses make decisions for the nation.
Prior to the server opening, there were a multitude of polls held within the group to determine the.
 
Along with this, the framework of the nation was
 
==== Origins of the Houses ====
Venice was established with an oligarchical governing system, where nobles from different familial houses made decisions for the nation. Each House could decide their members and their leader, who was generally an influential player from [[Terra Nova]] and part of the [[Nova:SPQR|Greater Roman Empire]]. There were originally five officially established houses: Casa di Eterno, Casa Varmi, Casa Florenti, Casa Fatih, and Casa di Milano. Casa di Eterno was lead by CorruptedGreed, including WTDpuddles and 32Benja. Casa Varmi was lead by S64_(citation needed), including Phillybob777, alsjad, Mining_Tzar.
 
=== Server Opening ===
 
====Founding====
Venice was founded on May 1st 2022 as the 2nd nation on the server. At the time of its founding, the first Doge was S64_, appointed by a collection of influential players.
 
It used an oligarchical governing system, where nobles from different familial houses make decisions for the nation. The nation made swift progress on some projects, such as the St. Marko Campanile, but activity dwindled quickly.

===The Dark Ages===
====The Time of Doge CorruptedGreed====
====(December 3 2022 - October 13 2023)====
For the election of the 2nd Doge, Casa di Eterno put forward 350 gold for 4 Pregadi, with CorruptedGreed as candidate. Casa Varmi put forward 125 gold for 2 Pregadi, however did not select a candidate. Casa Florenti and Fatih put forward no gold and no candidate. As a result, on June 1st CorruptedGreed was elected the 2nd Doge of Venice, with unanimous vote from the Signoria to become mayor of Venice.
====Collectivitzation of Venice====
 
At the beginning of his reign, Doge CorruptedGreed had to overcome a feud between Houses about the auctioned shop monopolies. Casa di Eterno and Varmi had come into conflict over the future of the shop, which Varmi had won out in nearly 80% of all items. After discussion with the Procuratore mediating, and the impracticality of Varmi alone maintaining all its stock, it was decided to scrap the system and develop a new approach. Doge Greed established the Unified State Market System, approved by the Consiglio on June 3rd. After this, he passed a series of internal reforms in July focusing on the domestic economy and internal districts of the capital.
 
====The Domini da Mar====
A main contribution to foreign policy by Doge CorruptedGreed was amending Article 5 of the Venetian Constitution to introduce the Domini da Mar, a system for towns within the nation.
 
''The Domini da Mar (Domains of the Sea) encompasses the network of towns within the Republic, under the authority of the capital city of Venice. Each level of integration (referred to as domains) is entitled to an enumerated list of rights, alongside restrictions.''
 
Under this system, Monza, Milan, Mataró, and Gibraltar were admitted as territories of Venice, with Rodos becoming a City-state.
 
====The Time of Doge Phillybob777====
For the election of the 3rd Doge, Casa Varmi put forward 125 gold for 2 Pregadi, with Phillybob777 as candidate. Casa di Eterno followed suit with 2 Pregadi, however did not select a candidate. Casa Florenti put forward no gold and no candidate. As a result, on August 3rd Phillybob777 was elected the 3rd Doge of Venice, with unanimous vote from the Signoria to become mayor of Venice.
 
With his election, Doge Philly pursued billing the Varmi and di Eterno Houses for their districts within the capital. Following this, his main ambitions were to get the capital city to max claims, finish the Piazza complex, host House games, and develop farms for shop items. While making substantial progress in acquiring materials, there was little actual progress on building due to failure in finding in-game manpower. This would be a common theme across his time as Doge, given policy can only go so far without action. His main contribution to foreign policy was an attempt to form a defensive alliance to protect the Italian peninsula from outside influence, named the League of Italy, which was approved by the Consiglio on August 18th. It originally consisted of Genoa and Apulia, until Apulia was sold and became a vassal of Austria. The Papal States were introduced in their absence, however Genoa inevitably abandoned the alliance due to opportunism that was sprouted by Doge Philly's inactivity.
 
On September 16th, the election of the 4th Doge was forecasted in 2 weeks by Doge Philly. In this time, Venice iced over its canals and hosted a F1 race across the capital. As October 1st arrived, Doge Philly announced he would continue his term as Doge until December given there were no candidates. At this point in time, Venice as a nation went nose-dived into a period of inactivity. The incoming weeks were barren from any progress on the capital or nation. There was not much activity in-game, only on Discord for game nights unrelated to the server such as EU4.
 
====Succession Crisis====
The period of decay following the reappointment of the Doge persisted throughout October and November. On November 29th, Doge Philly announced that the election was in 2 days and he had effectively quit the server, so someone else needed to run for Doge.
 
In the event of there being no Doge, the Constitution dictated that the Procuratore was designated as the city's mayor. However, Procuratore slopePope was nowhere to be seen for the last few weeks. Rather than risk giving him the city, it was decided by Doge Philly to appoint CorruptedGreed as the interim Doge. With nobody to oppose or approve this decision, CorruptedGreed became the final traditional Doge of Venice. The loss of motivation from the general populace and Patrician leadership ultimately sent the nation into catatonic state.
 
====Collapse of the Houses====
====Collapse of the Houses====
Due to the former departure of Casa di Milano and Fatih, along with the subsequent de-facto dissolution of Casa Florenti, Venetian politics were left vacated. The remaining competition between Casa di Eterno and Varmi fizzled out, which culminated in the death of the Houses.

====Collectivization of Venice====
Following the loss of all its towns outside Venice proper and Milan, it was decided by Doge CorruptedGreed to collectivize all assets within the capital. Given there were no signs of life in the city, it was necessary to redistribute resources to any prospective actives in order to

{{Main|2025 Reinach offensive}}
On 30 July, Venice snipes the town of Salzburg located in northern Austria. Exploiting the long-lasting inactivity of Reinach's mayor, they rush to overclaim the town. In 30 days they manage to overclaim over 500 chunks. All of urban area has been overclaimed, as well as some loot.
=== 2026 change of leadership ===
On 6 January 2026 [[CorruptedGreed]] who was not affiliated with EarthMC at all for a few months then (and was inactive for a few years) announced that he plans on stepping away from Doge's position. He appointed 32Jazper as "Doge Designato". As per the announcement, this is "the ad-hoc rank intended to signal the arrival of the next (and final) Doge of Venice". He made that choice on careful observation and concluding that 32Jazper was the best candidate for Venice's leader for the next few months until Terra Aurora's end in May 2026.
On 11 January 2026 32Jazper became de facto but not de iure leader of Venice because of in-game transfer of leadership.


==Notable Players==
On 19 January 2026 32Jazper became de iure leader of Venice after the ceremony has been held in the Saint Mark's Basilica, Venice. CorruptedGreed and a few high-ranked members attended the event where 32Jazper took oath to the constitution and CorruptedGreed presented him with the Venetian crown.

===Government system===
===Government system===
====Doge====
Venice is a constitutional monarchy. The government is composed of Doge, who is de facto leader of Venice holding absolute power but generally passing his responsibilities onto Mini Doge. Next in hierarchy is Mini Doge elected from the candidates of the general population for three-week term. Upon election they choose cabinet of the Pregadi. They also have a lot of power to execute. The Pregadi are members of the Assemblea, it being a "parliament" where people discuss on important matters in private and vote legislation. The Savi are advisors to Doge chosen by him (or appointed by the rest of the Savi) and they are members of the Consiglio who discuss further important matters more discreetly as this is a collection of trusted and loyal henchmen. The City Boys are a few very trusted individuals chosen by mayor of the capital; they are to build the city. The Savi, the City Boys and Doges are considered elite.
The constitution defines basic laws, rules behind elections, citizen rights etc.

===Public Buildings===
Venice has many great builds, the most beautiful ones being in the capital city. As the republic spans across the entire Mediterranean Sea, there are plenty of amazing buildings built based on the Mediterranean, Roman and Greek style.
