Velenu

The Mercantile Republic of Velenu is a nation that grew independent from Aquatos, founded when the first Doge, Kash, delcared the cities dependence due to shifting ties with Aquatosi leadership.

City under Velenu
Before the Mercantile Republic of Velenu, the city of Velenu was founded on the 3rd of August, 2021

During it's time as a city, it had mainly been used as Kash's personal island paradise, before eventually being expanded to first a grand library and then to a large city encompassing it and by December the city grew to the second largest in the nation, behind Pokitaru, growing a culture all of it's own and a population that valued peace and theocracy, seperating itself culturally from the rest of Aquatos.

Influence of the Rosthorns and Seperatist Ideals
The mayor of Velenu, Kash, eventually was adopted into House Rosthorn, after meeting it's patriarch and head, Voicemail.

Kash eventually grew acquanted with leaders from Skjoldbrodir and Valreach, secretly conspiring to grow his own nation from his own town.

A Broken Deal, Broken Ties
Kash would eventually discuss with the two other members of the Aquatosi Old Council, Fropik and GOjayson, attemping to discuss terms. This would end with both heading in their seperate ways and Kash being kicked from his position as a member of the Aquatos Old Council, and the establishment of the breakaway state of the Mercantile Republic of Aquatos.
