Rivo Republic

Rivo, officially the Rivo Republic, is a small island nation located near central Kanahulu.

Settlement & Foundation
The settlement of Rivo was initially founded on October 14th on the southeastern most island in what would become known as the Rivoan Archipelago. After a brief mapping expedition, it was revealed that the archipelago was home to a small array of historical ruins, and an archeological dig revealed various tools, resources, and pottery fragments. A small bamboo hut and a basic mineshaft were created before the day's end.

A day later, on October 15th, the Rivo Republic was declared and more mapping expeditions were launched in order to explore the area surrounding the archipelago.

The Northwestern Crisis
On October 16th, a nearby nation known as the Artificers Order of Luserose requested that the Rivo Republic join them as a vassal, which was ultimately declined. A day later, Luserose settled and claimed the central group of islands within the archipelago which resulted in a dispute. After a brief peace was established following diplomatic talks, the Rivoan National Assembly was called in order to decide the fate of the Rivoan claims to the islands in what became known as the Northwestern Question. Later in the day, the National Assembly voted in favor of re-affirming the Rivo Republic's claim to the islands and the Artificers Order of Luserose was declared to be illegally occupying rightful Rivoan territory.

The Rivoan Migration
Following the Rivoan declaration, the Artificers Order of Luserose responded with insults and harassment. This culminated in the eventual decision for the Rivo Republic to relocate itself away from the northwest, and an hours-long expedition began in order to locate a suitable location. On October 18th, the Rivo Republic was officially re-established on an island near central Kanahulu, and all claims to the original Rivoan Archipelago were abandoned following the transfer of the nation's valuables.
