Felesia, or the Delem of Felesia, is a Garfist town situated on the continent of Sparwood. The town is in the nation of Tortuga and has a population of 74. The town is ran by its founder, Luke Greencoat. It was founded on November 21, 2022 after two men left the inactivity of Greenstem.

It's official language is Semhudi and is known for its large amounts of Feles people, lasanga, and Garfist places and items.

Information
Felesia, a vast land teeming with possibilities, is divided into fourteen distinct boroughs, each possessing its own unique character and led by influential figures. At the helm of this dynamic town is Luke Greencoat, overseeing its governance while entrusting the borough leaders with considerable influence over their respective territories. Among them, Morfetico Humblewood stands out as an exceptional engineer and builder, earning him unparalleled respect and wielding significant sway within Felesia.

Under the banner of Garfism, Felesia's predominant religion, the town pulsates with devotion and reverence. Every nook and cranny of Felesia bears the indelible mark of Garfism, its architectural wonders serving as testaments to its cherished faith. Revered as the epicenter of Garfism worldwide, Felesia has earned the moniker "The Second Stem," a befitting tribute to its significance in the pantheon of Garfield worship. While Felesia embraces religious freedom, save for the denounced and spurious faith of Odieism, it remains unyielding in its commitment to uphold the principles and teachings of Garfism. Rooted in history and firmly entrenched within the capital territory of Tortuga Isle, alongside its former Deparja neighbor, Neora, Felesia thrives as a beacon of spiritual devotion and profound significance.

Aurelina
Aurelina the cat was a beloved pet of mayor Luke Greencoat. She was adopted in Greenstem, prior to the founding of the town of Felesia, and had been a constant companion to the mayor. Aurelina had a unique personality that endeared her to many in Felesia, including the other pets in town. However, due to the inactivity in Greenstem, Luke decided to move to the southern coast of Valcrest to start a new town. Aurelina accompanied him on the journey to the new location, and her presence provided comfort to Luke during the difficult transition period. Tragically, Aurelina and her friend Pirate were both transported to the Eternal Sunday by Garfield himself, leaving Luke devastated. In honor of his beloved pet, Luke decided to rename Felesia Proper to Aurelina. Today, the memory of Aurelina lives on in the town she helped inspire, and her legacy is commemorated by a monument on Aurelina Peak, where Luke still resides as the mayor of Felesia.

Martha
Martha, also known as Martha Da Church-goer, was a beloved cat in Felesia known for her dedication to the religion of Garfism. She would spend hours in the local church every day, praying nonstop and inspiring others with her devotion. Even during the church's reconstruction, Martha never missed a day of prayer. On March 10th, something miraculous happened: Martha was transformed into Garfield himself, and has been revered as a holy being ever since. Although she is no longer physically present in Felesia, her legacy lives on and her story continues to inspire both locals and visitors alike. Many consider her transformation as a sign of the divine grace of Garf, and her memory is still cherished in the hearts of Felesians today.

Martin
Martin is a devoted follower of Garfism just like his cousin Martha, and he spends most of his time in meditation and prayer. Despite his young age, Martin has a deep understanding of the teachings of Garfield and strives to live his life according to the principles of the religion. He often shares his knowledge with other young Felesians who are interested in learning about Garfism, and is respected by many in the community for his devotion and wisdom beyond his years. While Martin's living situation may seem humble, he sees it as a blessing and a way to focus entirely on his spiritual growth without the distractions of the outside world.

Splinkus
Splinkus, the Siamese cat with an insatiable love for fish, was a cherished member of the Felesian citizen's home. He had a particular fondness for the dining room, where he would eagerly climb onto his favorite chair and watch the world go by with his playful eyes. Splinkus had a playful and humorous nature that brought joy to his owner and others who knew him. His funny antics and mischievous personality were a constant source of amusement, and he was loved by many in Felesia. However, one day, Splinkus mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a void in the hearts of those who knew and adored him. Despite extensive searches and efforts to locate him, Splinkus was never found, and his absence was deeply felt. However, his memory lived on in the hearts of some Felesians who remembered him fondly, and his playful spirit was forever cherished in their memories. Splinkus may have disappeared physically, but his fun and funny personality continued to leave a lasting impression on those who knew and loved him in Felesia.

Boingus
Boingus, the fun and funny Siamese cat, brought a new wave of joy and laughter into the Felesian citizen's home after Splinkus went missing. With his Siamese charm and endless energy, Boingus brought a renewed sense of joy and amusement to the home, filling the void left by Splinkus's disappearance. Boingus, the fun and funny Siamese cat, was a cherished companion who continued to bring laughter and happiness to the Felesian citizen's home, creating cherished memories that would last a lifetime.

Prince, Kiki, Cloud, Riley, and Aureos
Price, Kiki, Cloud, Riley, and Aureos are the names of all five cats that Luke Greencoat currently owns.

Beginnings
After returning from the his religious journey, Luke Greencoat continued to be alone. He'd had enough of this and decided to leave Greenstem forever. All contributions to the town had gone to waste, but a new chapter of his life was formed. He and another person trying to join the community of Greenstem had begun talks of creating a new place of Garfism.

All the way down in the region of Valcrest, a spot for a new town was set out for. The location was at the southern shore of Valcrest. The relocation from Greenstem to the new area was hard. Four trips were made while trying to bring most of the valuable items to the new location.

The area started out as an abandoned farm surrounding a lake near the seemingly endless sea of nothingness. The lake that the farm was surrounded by was soon turned into a deep-water port for trade access to the region.

Tortugan Transfer
Spades Maitonoki's departure from Valondor and Rathnir had a significant impact on the political landscape of the region. The decision to join Tortuga was not taken lightly by the mayor of Felesia, and it was met with mixed reactions.

Aurelina's Death
Aurelina's death was a tragedy that shook the town of Felesia to its core. The red cat had been a beloved member of the community, known for her fierce loyalty and unwavering courage. In her honor, the people of Felesia decided to erect a memorial that would serve as a testament to her legacy and the values she embodied.

The Aurelina Memorial was a stunning work of art, designed to capture the spirit and essence of the cat that inspired it. The statue was placed on Aurelina Peak, a high point overlooking the town that was named after the beloved feline. The location was chosen not only for its prominence, but also for its symbolism - Aurelina had always been a creature of the mountains, at home in the rugged terrain that surrounded Felesia.

The statue itself was a marvel of craftsmanship. Every detail was painstakingly crafted, from the intricate patterns on Aurelina's fur to the expression of fierce determination on her face. But perhaps the most striking feature of the statue were its eyes. Made of shimmering emeralds, they glowed in the sunlight and seemed to pierce through the soul of anyone who looked upon them. It was said that those eyes watched over Felesia endlessly, a reminder of the values that Aurelina had stood for and the legacy that she had left behind.

But the Aurelina Memorial held another secret, one that was known only to a select few in Felesia. Inside the head of the statue was a secret base, a hidden chamber that housed the town's most precious and valuable possessions. It was a testament to Aurelina's legacy, a reminder that even in death, she continued to protect and serve the people of Felesia.

Borough System
The creation of the borough system in Felesia marked a turning point in the town's history. It was a response to the influx of newcomers to the town, each bringing their own unique cultures and traditions with them. The system was designed to provide a platform for these diverse communities to have a voice in the town's governance, while also ensuring that their interests were represented.

Under the borough system, each area of the town was defined by the culture and traditions of its inhabitants. This included not only the houses and buildings in the area, but also the food, music, art, and other cultural artifacts that were unique to each community. Each borough was led by a borough leader, who was responsible for representing the interests of their community and making sure their voices were heard in the town's decision-making processes.

Although no laws had been made under the borough system yet, it had already begun to have a profound impact on the town. It had created a sense of cultural diversity and inclusion that had not existed before, and had encouraged people to come together and learn from one another. The boroughs had become hubs of activity and celebration, hosting cultural festivals and events that brought the entire town together.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the borough system was the way it had highlighted the historical significance of many of the town's buildings and houses. As people began to learn more about the cultures and traditions of their neighbors, they also discovered the rich history of the town and the stories that lay hidden in its architecture. The borough system had created a sense of pride and connection to the town's past, as well as a sense of hope and optimism for its future.

Borough Service Grouping System
The Borough Service Grouping System is a practical solution to streamline the allocation of essential services among the many boroughs. By clustering boroughs according to their required services, such as marketplaces, farms, and storage facilities, it ensures that each borough has access to the resources they need without unnecessary duplication or waste. This efficient distribution of services also allows the system to focus on maximizing the potential of each borough by identifying and fostering their unique strengths and capabilities. For instance, some boroughs might specialize in crafting, while others in mining or fishing. By concentrating on their individual strengths, boroughs can enhance their productivity and better contribute to the overall welfare of the region. The Borough Service Grouping System thus promotes a cooperative and equitable model of resource distribution that benefits all boroughs and fosters a sense of community and interdependence. For example members of Northwall won't have to create their own storage buildings because they are grouped under Aurelina, the borough with all necessities.

Deparja
The creation of the Deparja region marked a significant change for the people of Valcrest. For many years, the region had been a vibrant and prosperous part of the country, with a rich history and culture that set it apart from the rest of the nation. However, with the absorption of Valcrest by Greenstem, the people of the region found themselves under new leadership..

The creation of Deparja was a response to this. It was designed to give the people of the region a sense of autonomy and control over their own affairs, while also ensuring that they remained part of the larger Greenstem nation. The name Deparja, meaning "The Land of the Reborn" in Semhudi, reflected the hope and optimism that many felt about the region's future under this new arrangement.

One of the unique features of Deparja was its diarchal system of government. The region was jointly governed by the Mayor of Felesia and the Mayor of Neora, who worked together to make decisions and set policy for the region. This system of shared power reflected the desire of the people of Valcrest to maintain their own distinct identity and culture, while also working closely with their neighbors in Greenstem.

Although Neora was the capital of Deparja, the largest city in the region was Felesia. This was due in part to Felesia's long history as a cultural and economic center in Valcrest, as well as its strategic location at the heart of the region. The people of Felesia were proud to be part of the new Deparja region, and they worked hard to ensure that their city continued to thrive and grow under this new arrangement.

Santa_Fe Transfer
The transfer of Santa_Fe to Felesia on February 7, 2023 was a momentous event for both towns. For Santa_Fe, it meant a fresh start under new leadership and the opportunity to be part of a larger, more prosperous community. For Felesia, it represented the beginning of a new era of growth and development, as the town took on the responsibility of incorporating a new borough into its borders.

The newly created Apple Harbor borough quickly became a focal point for the town's restoration and reconstruction efforts. The area had a rich history, dating back to the early days of colonization in the region, and many of its buildings and structures were in need of repair and renovation. The town's leaders saw this as an opportunity to not only restore the borough to its former glory, but to also create new economic opportunities and attract new residents to the area.

The restoration and reconstruction project was a massive undertaking, involving everything from infrastructure upgrades to historical preservation efforts.

Tortugan Civil War
The decision of Felesia to join Valondor and become a catalyst for other regions to swap their war stance was not an easy one. The town had always prided itself on its neutrality and its ability to work with all sides, but the situation had become too complicated to ignore.

The leaders of Felesia had to carefully consider their options, weighing the pros and cons of each side. On the one hand, joining Valondor could mean greater independence and self-determination for the town. On the other hand, it could also mean greater risk and uncertainty, as the nation was still recovering from years of conflict and instability.

In the end, the leaders of Felesia decided to join with jacw and Valondor, believing that it was the best way to ensure the safety and prosperity of their town. They knew that it would not be an easy road, and that there would be many challenges and obstacles to overcome. But they also believed that, by working together with their new allies, they could create a better future for themselves and for the region as a whole.

As the months and years passed, Felesia continued to work closely with Valondor and other regions to rebuild and strengthen their communities. The town became a hub of innovation and creativity, as people from all walks of life came together to share ideas and build a better future. And through it all, Felesia remained a shining example of what could be achieved when people worked together in the spirit of cooperation and mutual respect.

Garfield Himself
On March 10, 2023, The arrival of Garfield, the Lord of the Eternal Sunday, and his fiery cats had a profound impact on Felesia. The people were both awed and terrified by the powerful being and his divine approval of their city's title. They marveled at the immovable idol left behind as a symbol of his presence, which quickly became the centerpiece of a grand shrine erected in his honor. The shrine drew people from far and wide, pilgrims seeking the blessings of the powerful Garfield and the protection of his divine image. As for Prince Luke Greencoat, the ruler of Felesia, he was both grateful and humbled by the recognition bestowed upon him. He took his role as Cardinal seriously, devoting himself to the worship of Garfield and the guidance of his people. Under his leadership, the city flourished, growing in prosperity and power, thanks in no small part to the divine favor bestowed upon them by Garfield. As the years passed, the shrine became a hub of religious and cultural activity, drawing scholars, artists, and mystics from all over the land. It was said that the very air of Felesia was suffused with the power of Garfield, and that his divine presence could be felt throughout the city. To this day, Felesia remains one of the most important centers of Garf-worship in the world, and the immovable idol still stands as a testament to his power and majesty.

Return to Tortuga
After years of being a part of the rebellion against Valondor, Felesia found itself at a crossroads. The rebellion, once filled with hope and determination, had crumbled under the weight of internal conflicts and the Battle of Rosa. The leaders of Felesia, recognizing the deteriorating state of the rebellion, made the difficult decision to withdraw their support and seek a different path for their town. They concluded that rejoining the nation of Tortuga, from which they had initially separated, was in the best interest of the Felesians and Garfists alike. The collapse of the rebellion brought uncertainty and chaos to the region, and Felesia saw the need for stability and security. By reuniting with Tortuga, Felesia aimed to rebuild its infrastructure, strengthen its economy, and ensure the well-being of its citizens. The decision was met with mixed reactions within the town, as some held strong sentiments of loyalty to the rebellion. However, the majority recognized that it was a pragmatic choice for Felesia's future. With their return to Tortuga, Felesia embarked on a new chapter of its history, reintegrating into the capital territory of Tortuga Isle alongside the rest of Deparja. This reintegration signaled a reunification with their fellow Tortugan citizens, forging a stronger bond and fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.

Vexillology
The design of the Felesian flag is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it also carries significant symbolic meaning. Each color has a deep significance for the people of Felesia, and serves as a reminder of their unique history and culture. In Semhudi, the tongue Felesians speak, the flag is called the Amidari. The term Amidari originates from the terms "Amii," meaning map, and "Rlari," meaning flag. The term "map-flag" originates from the fact that the Felesian Flag can be viewed as a map by knowing its symbolism. The Felesian Flag can also be called "Rlari Felesian."

The orange stripe, for example, represents the religious beliefs of the people of Felesia. Garfism is an important part of their cultural identity, and it has played a significant role in shaping their history and traditions. The orange stripe also serves as a reminder of the Exodus from Greenstem up north, which was a defining moment in the town's history.

The white stripe represents the peace that exists between the people of Felesia and other towns. Despite their differences, the people of Felesia have always worked to maintain friendly relations with their neighbors, and to promote understanding and cooperation across cultures.

Finally, the cyan stripe represents the seas on the southern coast of Felesia, which are an important trading hotspot for the town. Felesia's location on the coast has always been a major factor in its economic success, and the people of Felesia have always been proud of their maritime heritage.

There is also a crest in the center of the Felesian Flag. The crest is the Greencoat Family Crest. The Greencoat Family is the ruling family of Greenstem and the rest of Garfism. Felesia also symbolizes the placement of Felesia on the map, inbetween the orange (the northern Garfists) and the cyan (the southern seas.

Taken together, these colors and their associated meanings create a powerful symbol of Felesia's unique identity and character. It is a flag that the people of Felesia can be proud of, and one that serves as a powerful reminder of the town's rich history and culture.
