Arkadia

Preceded by the Duchy of Sterron and the Paloran Embassy of Arkadia, Arkadia is a port town in Bardonia with a notable political history despite its small size.

Overview
Arkadia, formerly called Sterron, is a small hamlet town with several animal pens, farms, mines, and a few cultural buildings.

Culture
Originally holding a mix of Sterronese and Bardonian culture, the change in leadership of Sterron lead to it being just about entirely Bardonian in culture.

Religion
Originally following and founding Fleurism, Sterron being sold back to Bardonia caused it to lose this trait. Its short occupation under Paloro technically made it mostly lean towards the Asharu pantheon, but that was solely due to its small population. Arkadia is now mostly religiously neutral.

Economy
As a small trading village, they do not hold many things unique to their land, but have had fair success in finding gold in their own ravines. The Paloran Embassy is the only place where one can buy from the town.

History
Founded on 11/26/2020, Sterron was simply a town of Bardonia until the leader, Emperor_Scoubs, desired independence. When he was denied in his declaration, he decided to put the town up for sale and leave Bardonia. This caught Richtakedown (ConnorBruh131)'s attention, who bought the town and renamed it to Arkadia. However, hearing of this declaration late after, Keechoo, the leader of Paloro, was intrigued. Wanting to expand their borders, and seeing an opportunity for an embassy, Keechoo interviewed Emperor_Scoubs to see if he could take the town for himself.

Then, following Scoubs as he talked over the recent political history of Sterron, Keechoo confronted Richtakedown, only to find the town no longer up for sale. He was offered a house in the town for 300$, deemed "Keechoo's Vacation House" by one person, but never went through with it, realizing the possible tensions that could generate from his plans.

Later on, Richtakedown put the town up for sale again, to which the leader of Lobopolis was intrigued, alongside Paloro. Originally priced at 3500$, Lobopolis backed down as they already owned a town. But Keechoo saw this as an opportunity that would never again present itself. This lead Paloro to take the town for 3000$, including all valuables found inside the chests. The sea was quickly risen in some areas, to give more build room for ports. With this, Paloro established their first embassy in Bardonia, the very country responsible for their independence. Eventually, Arkadia was sold back to Richtakedown for 4000$, but Keechoo still owns his own embassy.
