The Republic of Genoa, founded by Erwinnn and 32Andrew on may 17 2022, on the small island of Corsica, stands as the largest and most influential nation within the Italian peninsula. Renowned for its expansive territories, vast wealth, captivating architectural wonders, and strategic maritime dominance, Genoa has established itself as a prominent force within the server.
History
Prefounding
The town of Ajaccio was first created by the player adcto on May 2th 2022. It would slowly expand over the following months until then entire island of Corsica was claimed alongside an outpost on the Ligurian coast. The city fluctuated between multiple nations but was mostly part of Italy.
Arrival of Erwinnn
Erwinnn, who had recently sold the nation of Livonia arrived in Italy and bought the town on July 27th for 4.2k gold and renamed it to Genova. This move was followed by players 32Andrew, aTerraAustralis, KristauxSoft, Shark3333 and riri2010.
Initial development
Upon his acquisition of Genova, Erwinnn proceeded to join the nation of Germany in order to use the nation bonus to expand further in the Ligurian coast. A major building project was also started which involved terraforming the entire island of Corsica, it saw the creation of a palace which served as both a shopping center and the capital building.
First Expansion into Tuscany
In July, most of the north of Tuscany was still made up of wilderness with the south being owned by the town of Florence, capital of the first "Italy" nation. This area was opened up to Genova when the neighboring town of La_Spezia fell. On July 31st, despite attempts from the nation of Italy to block this, Genova claimed more than 150 chunks in the north of Tuscany while also acquiring the island of Elba. The town continued to expand in the following days until the area was split between Genova and Florence.
Conflict with Italy
The expansion of Genova into Tuscany was met by fierce resistance from the Italian government who wished to capitalize on the area. Diplomatic exchanges between Erwinnn and Chunk_of_Cheese, the second in command in Italy went nowhere. Thus began a one month long dispute where tensions would remain high between the two states.
Acquiring of the Nation
On August 8th, the nation of H.R.E was sold to Genova for the price of 1.5k gold by the player Meyincci, mayor of the town Erfurt. The name would quickly be changed to Genoa, which marked the start of the nation's history.
First Towns
Genoa began expanding in North Africa and South Italy in August with the creation of the town of Tabarca by aTerraAustralis on the 10th and the town of Napoli created by KristauxSoft on the 16th.
Conflict with Apulia
The Genoese arrival in South Italy was contested by the nation of Apulia which owned the majority of the area at the time and was led by the player Parfi. Actions where taken by the Apulian state to contain the expansion of Napoli, ultimately surrounding the 88 chunks town entirely on October 1st.
The End of Italy
On September 13th, the nation of Italy alongside the capital of Florence was sold to Genoa by Argues. The new mayor of Florence was the player Omereise while the nation of Italy was put for sale.
