The Government of Carvay is an elected body of nobility, merchants, judges and military commanders, which helps govern the territories of the Republic which stretch from the islands of the Ombra Gulf to the western coast of Vastallos.

Origins - Sept. 25th to Oct. 14th 2020
The Republic began in the city-state of Carvay, governing little more than the settlement and the few islands as well as the mainland around the mouth of the Essenda River. It is one of the oldest nations of rathnir, having been founded within the first days of Server Start

After this conflict was over, Carvay established friendly relations with Neos Knossos and Kawalapua, eventually forming the Triple Alliance. Seeing the rising power of the Holy City of Stensta, Carvay and its ally Neos Knossos decided to form a continental alliance, drafted plans and started to invite their neighbors.

The VAWR Saga - Oct. 15th to Jan. 9th 2021
When Neos Knossos, asked for assistance when they claimed their colony had rebelled and join a foreign empire, Carvaian forces went to battle against Infinick at Tlahatl but this ended up in failure due to the Lands plugin allowing PVP to be disabled at the time.

Not wanting to go to war, Carvay asked Noodles of the V.I.R. to sit down to peace terms, and agreed that aside from the current sole territory of Tlahatl, V.I.R. would not settle in the West and in the Phagosian Sea. These talks were held at Carvay in the newly erected Grand Meeting Hall and would produce The Treaty of the Phagosian Seas.

Soon after this Carvay, Neos Knossos, Kawalapua, Stensta, Volandia and the VIR Territory of Tlahatl met in Carvay, and with a 3 hour long meeting all nations came to an accord to guarantee the sovereignty and independence of all members stays in tact. This alliance eventually became the Vastallosi Alliance of Western Rathnir.

At this time, construction of the second city of Carvay, Port Ravenus, had begun, with the main 120 chunk farm finished in 6 days. Fortisola and the Carvaian road network started around the same time.
