Asturcia

Asturcia or formally, The Savii Republic of Asturcia is currently a province of Ombria in southeast Vastallos. Asturcia is mostly based in the city of Asturcia but is home to other cities, like Broria, Griffinview, and Albertia. Asturcia is geographically made up of plains and has mountains running from south to north in the western parts of the region and has coasts with Mare Caprichosa and the Ombra gulf.

Formation of the State
Founded by the Asturcians in the region, the Kingdom of Asturcia was formed in around ~4000 BJC and was a relatively minor state in the region. But had later begun to slowly expand to its north up the Port Ravenus. The Asturcian King had mandated a system known as the Sangtictio System which mandated large groups of citizens throughout the state to take a Polity exam, which had established the skills of these select citizens and would install them to the bureaucratic position that best fit the individual like a tax collector, administrator, military officer and many more. The initial consequences of these programs had displayed an effective and skilled bureaucracy; but overtime, the new bureaucratic class had become increasingly corrupt. The best example of this corruption was the Military of Asturcia whose leaders had developed the army into an elite Aristocracy and slowly began to detach the army from the state this new military structure would be properly introduced later, during the Asturcian Empire

The Asturcian Empire
After the Kingdom of Asturcia had gained full control of modern day Port Ravenus the King of Asturcia had proclaimed the Asturcian Empire. Afterwards, the Empire would rapidly militarize. The earlier mentioned Asturcian Military would be reformed into the Imperial Asturcian Army who at that point were almost entirely independent from the control and command of the Asturcian government; the army only being loyal to the Asturcian monarchy. The militarism of the Empire would lead to large campaigns typically against smaller and weaker states orchestrated by the Imperial Asturcian Army that lead Asturcia from modern Broria, to western Mennszag. Over this time period, the Asturcians had made multiple rivals, those being Dønsktopt, and Carvay. The latter rival, Carvay became such when it started to challenge Asturcian Power by attempting to take chunks of Port Ravenus from Asturcia, leading to the Port-wars, a series of armed conflicts between Asturcia and Carvay seeking dominance over the other for Port Ravenus.

Post-Statehood History
Asturcia became a state of Carvay when the Carvaian State System was introduced by Kori Glynrel. While still heavily underpopulated today, Asturcia controls much of the South-East portion of Vastallos, most of which making up the Vastallosi Plains.
