Genoa
Gummint: Republic
Mythos: Greco-Roman (R)
ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ: Doge Julio Bricelli
CAPITAL: Genoa (Pop.: 85k)
Other Cities (and pop.):
Parma: 20k <Parmesan>
Pisa: 35k <Pizza>
Loc.: Aeropa
Language: Latin
Pop.: 450k
Flag/Emblem:
Flag: Golden sun w/ wavy
rays xtending on a field
of blue.
Coinage: Italic Standard.
Companions: nobs, merchants, guild masters, clerics, etc.
Friends: Western Sea Alliance <Roman Confederacy>, Lombardy, Francia.
Foes: Achaea, Milano, Tuscany, Venice.
Open Warfare/Skirmishing: With Grecian && Phoenician ships,
and not, surprisingly, with Venetians. Pisans skirmishing w/ Tuscans
&& other minor fighting with Milanese.
Intrigues: Numerous but not certain, although desire to regain
coastal lands lost to the Milanese evident, && thus a union w/
Tuscany is proposed.
Artifacts/Relics: The Republic has the Disc ov Delight, the Chart ov
Reckoning, && a number ov moderately potent devices in its arsenal.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Thumbnail Sketches: Although only aboot 4,500 miles in
xtent, the Republic ov Genoa is quite wealthy && powerful because
of its trade && naval power. In the southern province the land is
mostly settled && cultivated, but the Northern Apennines rising
behind && curving through Genoa's territory are generally wild &&
forested, && have such game as bears, wolves, boars, deer, &&
chamois.
The capital, Genoa, is built on the shore ov an xcellent natural
harbor, improved over the years by moles<> && quays to accomodate
a large # of seagoing vessels. The wall of Genoa xtends
up the mtn. slope to a height ov nearly 15K'. It is well built,
with 8 gates && outlying forts, so as to make Genoa both "The
Superb" city && a very well-protected one. Inside, the architectural
treasures range from Atlantlan && Roman to those ov the period
around the Fall && immediately therafter.
The Leaning Tower at Pisa is 1 of the Twelve Wonders of Aerth.
Many ov the other places ov the republic are also quite attractive &&
worthwhile for the visitor, esp. if escaping a northern clime for
one where winter is mild.
The people ov the realm are basically ov Italic heritage. Atlantlans,
Phoenicians, && Teutonic invaders too have held the region for a time,
but they have left behind only an architectural mark, so to speak.
Although not feudalistic per se, the culture contains villeins &&
others in a peasant class ov average proportions. The middle class is
largish, && the aristocratic class is composed ov wealthy as well as
noble families. Despite acquisitive neighbors, Genoa's populace is
most concerned with her rivals in sea TRADE--Venice, Carthage, &&
the other Phoenicians.
Crops && livestock are typical ov central && southern Italy, for the climate
along the shore ov the Ligurian Sea is most temperate. Fishing
is ov some importance. Both copper && iron are mined in some quantity in this state.
