History
Originally the two cities of Duran and Svedia were formed on two separete islands cirka 100 blocks apart. Svedia was the first city to form, with an old temple being built by the first inhabitants to worship the ocean gods. Duran was a much more modern and urban trade-city with tight streets and tall apartment buildings.

Imperial Ties
After a while Svedia Gave up its independence to join the Empire of plagatea and got included in the region of Ignatava. A short while later the Empire of Plagatéa collapsed making all its regions independent, Some of them banded together again as The Realm of Asarakean which later rebranded itself as the Second Empire of Plagatéa. But the Region of Ignatava Remained independent as Czervoslavia. This Brought Svedia and Duran closer as their mayors started collaborating more intensely.

The Czervoslav - OPTC War
Early september 2021 the OPTC declared war on Czervoslavia with a coalition of nations with the goal of gaining territory. And after 3 days the Czervoslavs signed a Peace treaty with the OPTC coalition granting them the southernmost territories of Czervoslavia; The Najer-Plagosi Stait and surrounding islands aswell as The now Joint cities of Duran And Svedia.

Name change
In early january 2022 Prince Ludio I of czervoslavia, Duke of Svedurian decided that the Name Sveduiran was too much of a mouthfull, after gaining the aproval of the Czervoslavian Czar and the Czervoslavian Cabinet, the prince changed the name of the city to Port Boros and the duchy to Durania after the old name of the city, Duran.

Origin
Svedurian is a new city that was formed when the two cities of Svedia and Duran were merged after the Czervoslavian-OPTC War. The Two cities were merged by moving all buildings from the Svedian Isles to Duran since Svedia was less developed.

Geography
The Island chains are based along the Najer-Plagosi Ridge and are old (Inactive) Volcanic islands with very rich soil. The surrounding ocean contains both coral reefs and plentiful kelp forests filled with lush aquatic vegitation.

The Fertile volcanic soil has made the islands farming very prosperous and is one of the best places for farming in the palagean sea. The rich soil has also made it possible for multiple types of vegitation and biomes to develop on the island. The island has also proved to be a sanctuary for birds and other animals, The island is actually home to 11 unique tropical and ocean living birds! The island is a natural breeding ground for many of the birds from the Region

The Svedian people follow the religion of oceanism, Which is a worship of the oceans. The faith has 5 main gods. The Sun (Soll), The Moon (Mone), God of Tides (flo), The Ocean God (Hav) and The hunger (Sluka). The religion is centered around the ocean and states that all life originated from the ocean gods and that all the species of the universe are grandchildren of the ocean gods.
