'''Petra Cauda''', officially known as the '''Crown Dominion of Petra Cauda''' ('''CDPC'''; [[Petrovian]]: Dominio della Dorona di Petra Cauda), is a nation consisting of a number of islands in the Pacific Ocean. The nation in its earliest form was founded in 279 by ex-[[Salovia|Salovian]] minor royals. Since 2014, the CDPC has been ruled by [[Enzo I|King Enzo I]] of [[House of Fiorentini|Fiorentini]]. Petra Cauda is an {{wp|absolute monarchy|absolute monarchist}} nation in a state of racial {{wp|apartheid}}. The ruling minority race are the [[Sal]] (Salis), oppressing the [[Pepe]] (Pepilis) under sovereign-enforced legislation. This racial segregation has been in place since the
The island nation's name means "rocky tail" in Latin, referring to the tail-shaped formation of the twenty small islands. The largest island of Petra Cauda, Isola Grande, is home to three cities and has served as the hub of the nation for centuries. A {{wp|Mediterranean}} climate blankets the islands with average temperatures of 38°c in summer and 14°c in winter.
=== History ===▼
Formed in 1441, from a collection of independent monarchist island nations, the Crown Dominion of Petra Cauda was initially ruled by {{wp|Imperator}} [[Domizio I]]. Domizio succeeded to the throne from position as High-Cardinal of the [[Holy Deus Church]], the predominant religion of the incorporated nations. From this, the {{wp|Divine right of kings|divine right}} of the Petrovian monarchy is legitimised.▼

==== Bregvadze Settlement (279) ====
▲== History ==
In 279, one year after [[Salovia|Grand Monarchy of Salovia]] came under the rule of the Elven King Ærik I, the [[House of Bregvadze]] along with a group of loyal subjects set sail to the land now known as Petra Cauda. Lead by Vano Bregvadze ([[Vano I]]), they established a rule over the native population, the [[Pepe|Pepilis]]. Initially, the [[humanism|humanist]] ex-Salovians established an oppressive {{wp|serfdom}} to bring the Pepe population under their control and establish an effective agricultural system.
=== Unification of the Petrovian Isles (1441) ===▼
Plantations were formed in various locations across the newly founded territory, each led by a different close relative to [[Vano I]].
==== Norvian Influence (300-500) ====
Throughout the 4th and 5th century, there is indications of foreign visitors, the [[Norvians]]. The Norvians left a lasting cultural impression on the Petrovians, the latin-influenced language being clear evidence of this.
==== Feudalism (450) ====
After nearly two hundred years of the island nation existing, the various plantations struggled to contribute to the Petrovian economy efficiently. As a result, the King [[Spartak I]] sought to establish a {{wp|feudal system}}. This saw the non-royal descendants of the ex-Salovians be classified as [[Sal|Salis]] of various feudal levels. The Pepili population was subject to slavery, where obedience was rewarded with arbitrary titles and supervisory positions.
==== First Pepili Revolt (461) ====
The conditions for the oppressed Pepilis worsened significantly under the new Petrovian Feudal system. Through years of organisation, the Pepilis staged the First Pepili Revolt, the first recorded act of mass defiance against the Sali system.
==== The Duchies of Petrovia (1027) ====
As Petra Cauda expanded, it again faced issues surrounding the management of its subjects, especially that of the oppressed Pepilis. As a result, the various territories were dissolved into a number of Duchies, all united by a single blood line.
A number of Duchies still exist, but are often assigned to close relatives of the monarch and are for mostly ceremonial purposes.

The [[Royal Civil Service (Petra Cauda)|Royal Civil Service]] was formed to effectively carry out the will of the monarchy across its newly united territories, rather than rely on the Dukes and Duchesses.
==== Solitario Commune (1887-1904) ====
A communist {{wp|Commune_(model_of_government)|commune}} formed in Porto Solitario and consuming its island. Existing for some time in contention with the Crown, until the island was secured by the [[Petrovian Naval Service]] in 1904.
