The Kingdom of Viratia, simply referred to as Viratia, is a Constitutional Monarchy in southwestern Novaris. Viratia borders Cavellan and Venosta to the north. The capital and largest city in Viratia is Lustra, with a population of 7,932,411. Along with being the capital it is also a large port city in the "Baia d'Oro", or Bay of Gold. The current head of state is King Loreto Bendik Holm Lucciano and the head of government is Prime Minister Silvana Astrid Ellestad Napolitano.

Viratia was first settled during the times of the Celanoran Empire. Many Tretridian and Gustafist immigrants traveled to Celanora in order to find work, many of whom who enlisted in the military. After their service, in accordance to their contracts, they were bestowed plots of land along the southern coast of the Bay of Gold. During their service they were acclimated to Celanoran culture, and some even adopted Celanoran names. These settlers were governed directly by the Celanoran Empire in their own province within it, named Viratia, where modern day Viratia gets its name.

After the collapse of the Celanoran Empire most Viratine settlements became self-governing city-states. The largest of these, Lusutrum, modern day Lustra. Several wars between these city-states led to the emergence of Lusutrum as the dominant power in the region, conquering the smaller settlements and city-states, leading to the of Lusutrum Lotterio Beinir Ingifastsson Insigne crowning himself as the King of Viratia, arguing that his control over its former territory justified his claim over the dominion.
