Veria Period | May 20th - July 6th (2021)
While May 20th was the day that Veria was inducted into the Republic of Carvay as a state, it wasn't officially owned by Carvay until June 8th. The area was renamed Veria, in an attempt to remove Bardonian influence. It's flag was also changed to the flag it uses currently. Kori Glynrel was chosen by Frostina Mezaria to be the Savii of Veria, as there were no other residents at the time. Reconstruction on Verian cities began shortly after Kori's induction as Savii. The first effort made was the city of Neos Veria, where the old Castle of Knossos was blown up to show an official move from the old age to the new age. Farms were replanted, housing was built, everything began coming along nicely.

Galínios Period | July 6th - September 13th (2021)
Veria was renamed to Galínios to show more unity with Carvay, Galínios meaning 'Serene' in Knossian, a reference to the Most Serene Republic of Carvay (which at the time was already defunct). Neos Veria was made the official capital of Galínios, and Kori Glynrel won the first official election for Savii, choosing Jentilak as his Signoria.

Knossos Period | September 13th - Present
Galínios was renamed Knossos after a referendum to show more autonomy from the Republic of Carvay, officially starting the Knossian Conservative ideology, a belief that Knossos can be just as strong on its own and with its original ideals as Carvay.
