The Republic of Genoa, founded by Erwinnn and 32Andrew on July 27th, 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
The Founding
(July 27th 2022 - August 8th 2022)
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.
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.
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.
Formation 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.
The Rise
(August 10th 2022 - December 6th 2022)
First Towns and Conflicts
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.
The town of Avignon situated in Southern France and led by 0yule also joined Genoa on August 10th.
The Genoese arrival in South Italy was however 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.
Apulia (which had been renamed to Naples in the meanwhile), proceeded to buy the nation and promptly renamed itself to Italy.
Vassals
Under the impulsion of 32Andrew, Genoa would acquire the nation of Illyria which would be integrated as a province with the capital of Tirana on the 2nd of October. However, only 6 days later, on the 8th of October, Illyria would be traded for the nation of Emirates with the capital of Dubaii which would then join Genoa as a vassal.
This would end up being short-lived as Emirates would be sold on the 16th of October, ending Genoese control in the area.
First Italian Expansion
The Genoese state would start a month long expansion which began on the 15th of October when the town of Sardinia led by Qorrin joined the nation. This had been planned for many weeks and was a result of Sardinia succesfully claiming the entire island.
Then, the towns of Lecce and Bari were both bought on the 21st of October from a collapsing Italy (previously Apulia). These additions would lead the Consigliere 32Andrew to announce the start of the unification of Italy under Genoa in an historic announcement.
The Collapse of Apulia
Apulia (which renamed to Naples and then Italy) had been in a state of war with Genoa ever since the creation of Napoli. This conflict would last from early August to late October where it would come to an end over a few weeks.
This would first manifest by the ownership of Apulia being transfered from Manoia to Parfi on August 29th.
Then with Parfi leaving Apulia on October 15th, leaving it without a leader, proposals of merging the two nations arose, pushed especially by the Prime Minister of the state : PawluC, however these went nowhere and were abandonned due to a lack of interest from Genoa.
Finally, on the 21st of October, with the sale of Lecce and Bari, the Apulian nation would be officially disbanded, ending the war with Genoa.
Ligurian integration
Located in the real life location of the city, the Irish town of Genoa would fall on the 6th of December, being swiftly reclaimed by the Genoese state with a new town called Liguria under the leadership of PawluC (Who had joined Genoa after the collapse of Apulia).
The capital would also take this opportunity to rename itself to Genoa (being previously called Genova).
Solidification
The Italian League
The Italian League was an alliance that Genoa participated in alongside the Papal States, Croatia and Monaco. It was created in early December and aimed at creating stronger cooperation between these nations while working together to counter outside influence.
However, rivalries within the league quickly undermined those objectives and soon enough it entered a decline that would last until it was unofficially disbanded in early February.
Banning of Omereise
On the 25th of December, mayor of Florence Omereise was banned for doxxing, this would spark a major controversy over the legitimacy of the ban but ultimately, Omereise would remain permanently banned.
As a result of this, Genoa immediately began to prepare for the eventual fall of Florence which couldn't be avoided. It was first proposed than a new town be created but in the end, it was decided that the capital city would annex the area entirely.
Second Italian Expansion
Genoa which was now free from the rivalry with Apulia could focus on expansion. This was first done with the purchase for 270g of the town Vieste which had been a Bosnian possesion in South-East Italy on the 8th of January 2023.
Aditionally, the Swiss town of Sicilia which controlled about a third of Sicily alongside the tip of the Italian boot, fell on the 15th of January. It was partionned with Genoa acquiring the half on the island of Sicily and Calabria, a Bosnian town, getting the mainland area.
Centralisation was also done with the annexation of smaller Genoese towns into their larger neighbors with the example of Liguria being annexed into the town of Genoa and Vieste being annexed into Napoli on the 31st of January.
Defection of Tallo Capitis
Tallo_Capitis, a Venetian town led by Tallo_01 became part of Genoa on the 5th of February after the mayor offered to sell the town for the price of 450g. This was a result of Venetian inactivity which led the mayor to seek a new nation.
The mayor then proceeded to join Genoa itself and ended up becoming a prominent member, today being a senator and mayor of Naples.

Territory
Territories
Genoa is spread across the Mediterranean Region, spreading from Central Spain to Cyprus. For the purposes of organisation, Genoa is often split up into regions, although these have no basis in Genoese law or impact its governance at all. Not all towns fall within a traditionally grouped together region.
Italy
Oldest Town: Sardinia
Largest Town (Chunks): Genoa
Largest Town (Population): Genoa
Italy holds the core of Genoese territory, and the capital itself, Genoa. It is the region Genoa has held a presence in for the longest time, being the site of the nation's founding. It is often further subdivided up into Tuscany, Corsica, Sardinia and South Italy. It is home to the powerbase of Genoa, with many nobles and Senators calling Italian towns home, with three Councillors calling the territory home.
The Alps
Oldest Town: Monza
Largest Town (Chunks): Reinach
Largest Town (Population): Reinach
Located just north of core territories in Italy, and first inhabited with the acquisition of Monza. The creation of Reinach by Senator Stvnder di Buonaparte saw a rapid growth of Genoa's presence in the territory, with it coming to host the most populous and largest town in Genoa. It is often subdivided further up into the regions of Lombardy and Alps. It is home to several notable nobles.
North Africa
Oldest Town: Carthage
Largest Town (Chunks): Carthage
Largest Town (Population): Carthage
The second territory Genoa ever ventured into, with the town of Tabarca, North Africa has held a permanent Genoese presence since August 2023. It is often further subdivided into Tunisia, Algeria & Libya. While originally sparsely populated by Genoese settlers, parts of North Africa, in particular Tunisia, have come to be dominated by a Genoese presence. It is home to several notable nobles.
Eastern Mediterranean
Oldest Town: Northern_Cyprus
Largest Town (Chunks): Northern_Cyprus
Largest Town (Population): Northern_Cyprus
Compromised entirely of Islands in the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean sea, the territory is sparsely populated and was first settled with the acquisition of the island of Rhodes. The territory's size has historically fluctuated significantly, due to the instability in Turkey and Turkish towns seeking refuge within Genoa, but no longer holds any land on the mainland of Asia or Africa. Thanks to its island nature, the territory is often split up into its respective islands.
Spain
Oldest Town: Segovia
Largest Town (Chunks): Segovia
Largest Town (Population): Alicante
The Genoese presence in Spain has varied wildly historically, with the nation often holding no territory in the region. Following the collapse of Spain at the advent of overclaim, Genoa began to take cautious steps into the region with the founding of towns like Alicante on its Eastern Coast.
Balkans
Oldest Town: Pristina
Largest Town (Chunks): Hungary
Largest Town (Population): Budapest
Genoese holdings in the Balkans span the region, from the dalmatian coast deep into Hungary, with Genoa having a significant presence in the region. Due to its nature, the region is often further subdivided up into its constitution countries, such as Hungary and Croatia.
Towns
The Genoese realm contains 51 towns as of 4th of May.
