Founding and History
The Serene Republic started with the city which it was named after. Founded by our great Doge, 8jaaroud, the young nation quickly reached out to its neighbors and resisted domination by the encroaching Asturcian Empire.

After this conflict was over, Carvay established friendly relations with Neos Knossos and Kawalapua, eventually forming the Triple Alliance. Seeing the rising powers of Anthem and the Holy City of Stensta, Carvay and it's ally Neos Knossos decided to form a continental alliance, drafted plans and started to invite it's neighbors.

The V.I.R. Conflict
When Neos Knossos, noble ally of Carvay, asked for assistance when they claimed their colony had rebelled and join a foreign eastern empire, the great Doge himself went to battle against Infinick at the Battle of Tlahatl.

Not wanting to go to war, Carvay asked the most revered and noble Noodles, of V.I.R. to set down to peace terms, and agreed that aside from the current sole territory of Tlahatl, V.I.R. would not settle in the West and in the Phagosian Sea. These talks were held at Carvay in the newly erected Grand Meeting Hall.

Formation of VAWR
6 nations met in Carvay, and with long and rigorous diplomacy all nations came to an accord to guarantee the sovereignty and independence of all members stays in tact. Afterwards all members sacrificed Essendor to appease the gods and secure the alliance. Then they headed over to the tavern at Neos Knossos.

At this time, construction of Port Ravenus and the Great Farm had already started

In recent times the 2nd Continental Assembly met and voted on the admission of Cobbleworks Mines. Carvay has been honored to host all Assemblies thus far.

A Growing Power
Finishing The Great Farm, Carvay also established it's fort and the Isle of Istro, started construction on Verace, and Kender is currently working on his massive road Network. Carvay had long saved money to expand its secured claims within it's agreed on sphere of influence, growing the borders of Carvay, starting on it's mass terraforming projects, securing the Great Farm of Vastallos, and welcoming an influx of new members.

The 2nd V.I.R. Conflict
Shortly after Cobleworks Mines was inducted into the Alliance, two rogue V.I.R. members began to their assault on VAWR and attacked Cobleworks Mines. These brigands were SirMisterPanda and TheRealOJOJ. Carvay rallied the alliance to go to the aid of our new member, and we fought off the attackers. Diplomatic correspondence was instantly relayed to V.I.R. and the noble and majestic Noodles answered, resolving the dispute without any further violence.
