The Brief History of Bellemiatic
The foundation of the Grand Duchy of Bellemiatic can be traced back to the time of Ancient Roman Empire, where a team of explorers and settlers ride their ships to the islands of Bellemiatic, where they called Bellemia. They built the city of Pinguisa, at that time, they called Pinguisa as Primurbs, combined the Latin word Primus, which means first, and urbs, which means city. Therefore, Pinguisa is considered the oldest and grandest city of Bellemia.
People started to settle all over the place, the province of Inferior Insula, which means inner island, became the capital of the Empire of the South Bellemia, until the city Kaput, which means capital, was built, which was called Vetum Kaput, or Former Capital by the modern Bellemiatics. Some dwellers in the North built the Confederation of North Bellemia, which located in the province of Exterior Insula and some of the Dimidius Insula. They built the city of Bella, which means beautiful in Italian, and became the Nordicitta nowadays, which combined from North and City in Italian. Wars sometimes occured between the Empire and the Confederation.
In circa 288 AD, the people lived in Cauda Insulae, or the Sausage called by the people that time, declared independence and became the States of the Tip. This nation didn't survive long, 50 years later, the Empire conquered the States by both military and diplomatic means. Seeing the destruction of the States, the people who dwell in Cuspisa agreed to be annexed by the Confederation to balance the powers of world. A civil war broke out, and the Empire won ultimately, but greatly weakened her power. Fortunately, Quintus the Great, who was known as the greatest ruler in Bellemiatic history, came, and brought the Empire to another peak.
At the same time in the island located in the West of the Empire, the dwellers of Midiarger, which belonged to the Midiargerreich fought against the alliance of Ortusan Fiefdom and Republic of Malusian, which located in nowadays Opima Terra and Populus Malus respectively. War raged for 2 decades, until the Midiargerreich annexed the Fiefdom and the tide of war turned in favor of the Reich. Peace agreement was signed between the Republic and the Reich, which lasted for millennium long.
In about 1000 AD, the Empire colonized Absensa and the Republic colonized Comminuta. The duel, also known as the Pacifism War, between the Reich and the Republic started again and the Midiargrans invaded Comminuta by suprise, and the Republic forces collapsed one by one swiftly under the leadership of Dues, one of the most successful generals in Bellemiatic history but was killed in the final push in the war between Malusians and Midiargrans. The East was conquered by the Reich. A century later, the Reich was overthrown in a revolution, and became the Federation of the East.
In 1533 AD, the war between the 2 powers triggered by a naval battle in Comminuta, that was the greatest naval battle of all time, and the victory of the Empire allowed her to annex Comminuta, and built Paradisusa, one of the most important naval port in Bellemiatic national defense. The war lasted for another 2 centuries, where Midargrans were fallen and the Empire annexed the whole Bellemia and became the Grand Duchy of Bellemiatic nowadays, and built the city of Bellemiaticapolis, the largest city and capital of Bellemiatic.
In 1877 AD, a group of reformist suggested to modernize and reform the country, and was approved by the Emperor, and this became the Grand Duchy of Bellemiatic nowadays. Until the middle of 2011 AD, the Bellemians were invited to join the recognized globe for its cultural, economic and political stability.

Pinguisa 7%
Pinguisa, the First Milestone of Bellemia
Pinguisa, is derived from the Latin word pinguis, means fertile. As it is named, because of its fertile location. It's located in a river delta, and also the reason why the ancient Bellemiatics built this city.
The city is the grandest and oldest city of Bellemiatic. Overall, the population is rather small until today, the advanced agricultural technologies allowed the population grow much more rapidly.
The history of Pinguisa is more peaceful in comparison with other grand cities or Citte Grandi of Bellemia. War seldom occurred, the war with greatest casualties was in the Great Civil War between the Empire and the Federation, which a few Eastern legions besieged the city. The city was held but led to one third deaths of citizens in a census in 1577 AD.
Pinguisa nowadays grow commercial corps, wines, and some small business with high quality and is famous all over Bellemia.
Longe 6%
Longe, the Paradise
Although the city of Paradisusa, which derived from Latin word Paradise, means paradise, but the de facto heaven for tourists. This city is not modernized as much as other cities do, and Longens mainly make a living by small business, such as accommodations and restaurants.
This city is the third newest city in Bellemiatic history, founded in about 1000 AD, just before the Pacifism War between the Reich and the Republic. Major conflicts never occurred in Longe of Absensa, which must be thanked to its location that is relatively far away from the Mainlands, and the cliffs made invaders had a hard time just climbing the hills and crossing the rivers.
The population didn't grow as rapid as other cities in Bellemia, but has a bright future to develop into a new generation of trading ports, which will boost the tourist industries of Longe to a whole new level.
Nordicitta 6%
Nordicitta, the Major Military Stronghold
In approximately 220 AD, a group of explorers settled in the coastline, which is one of the major feature of Nordicitta where buildings are built on the cliff, built the city, which later became the military stronghold of the Confederation of Bellemia. At that time, the Northerners used its plains to train excellent cavalries and used them to hammer the famous legions of the South, and won several battles near the border.
Nowadays, the Nordicittans were famous for their corporations and business minds. The Mechanized Legions, including the famous Eques Primus, and Armored Units are trained there.
Several bloody battles fought near and in Nordicitta, and most of them caused at least half dwellers' deaths. The citizens learnt that to survive, they need to arm themselves, and soon became famous for their Duty of Honor all over Bellemia.
Cacumena 5%
Cacumena, the Fortress Forged by the Nature
Cacumena's founders are a team of bandits, who fled from the Empire for their wrongdoings, and found this great location between the ranges, and Cacumena itself is also located on a hill, which fits her name well, as Cacumen means a peak in Latin. Therefore, the Malusians can focus on building great architectures and other cultural activities other than building a huge military force.
Cacumena is famous for their citizens several spiritual activities and personal bravery. The famous multipurpose squad, the Sicarii, is trained here.
Interestingly, there's not much war near the city of Cacumena, that's because during the Pacifism War, the Midiagrans climbed over the ranges, no matter how much casualties taken, and successfully conquer every single inch of land outside Cacumena, and the city was forced to surrender. Nowadays, the Cacumenans are actively expanding their city and trying to compete with other major cities in other regions.
