Paleolithic-era artifacts have been recovered from the Salisfordian Mountain Range, making them the oldest evidence of hominid habitation in the region. Other artifacts found have shown there was a Neanderthal presence in the region as well. The earliest evidence of modern human habitation in Salisford was discovered in the Western Highlands, in the Northern Peak.

The city of [[Savotta]] grew tremendously, with trade coming from upriver and port activity from the coast.

According to tradition and Savottan tradition, there were 10 Kings of Savotta. The last of whom, [[King Titius the Cruel|Titius the Cruel of Savotta]], was deposed in 518 BC by [[Tiberius Vedius Major]]. In place of the monarchy, a republic was established that operated on elected magistrates and multiple representative assemblies. The most prominent magistrate was the [[Dux (Ancient Savotta)|Dux]], who was elected for a 3-year period. The Dux was overseen by three [[Auxilus (Ancient Savotta)|Auxili]], who were responsible for ensuring the Dux did not surpass his constitutional powers. All major magistrates were granted the power to command armies. Other magistrates include [[Tribune (Ancient Savotta)|tribunes]], [[Auditor (Ancient Savotta)|auditors]], [[Iudices (Ancient Savotta)|iudices]], [[Ludari (Ancient Savotta)|ludari]], and [[Exactore (Ancient Savotta)|exactores]].

Over time, the Republic grew to be corrupt. Two political factions arose, the [[Urbares (Ancient Savotta)|Urbares]] (from "city", this faction represented the urban poor and was considered the populist faction) and the [[Agricolae (Ancient Savotta)|Agricolae]] (from "farmers", this faction reprented the wealthy landed aristocracy). In 57 BC, [[Porcius Linnius Savulla]], an Agricolae magristrate, overthrew the government and threw out all of the Urbare magistrates. During Savulla's reign, the wealth gap between the aristocracy and the impoverished lower classes grew even larger. Savulla’s reign was short-lived, however, he was banished  in 49 BC and the government re-established the republic. Directly following the re-establishment of the republic, the Urbares supported an anti-government conspiracy that was quickly defused by Dux [[Marcus Tiberius Crater]], who later became a prominent centrist in the Urbare-Agricolae conflict.

Into this scene appeared [[Flavius Oppius Major]], a descendant of Vedius Major. Oppius Major first made a name for himself on the northeast frontier of Savotta, where he proved himself to be a great general and he won many victories against the warlike tribes which bordered Savotta. These victories provided both spoils and new lands for the Savottan republic. Capitalizing on his military fame, he ran for elected office and was elected to the position of Dux for the 32 BC to 29 BC term. Oppius Major considered himself to be a Urbare, and he was hated by the Agricolae for his support of populist reforms. During his term as Dux, he was prevented from effecting any meaningful reform by the Agricolae faction. This frustrated him greatly. At one point he even ordered one of his Auxili arrested and seized, which violated the legal protections afforded to the Auxili. But, because of a quirk in the Savottan legal code, Oppius Major was able to escape prosecution by the angered Agricolae faction by resuming his command on the northeast frontier.
 
−
Due to his skill, Oppius Major was ultimately able to conquer and pacify the northeast frontier, and, in the process, obtain massive amounts of wealth, respect in Savotta, and battle-hardened armies who were loyal to him. However, the Agricolae still were angry, and they wanted to prosecute Oppius and have him banished and his wealth seized. After an extended political fight with the Agricolae, Oppius Major would take his armies and invade the city of Savotta itself in 23 BC with his army and was declared Imperator of Savotta.
 
−
This would begin the period of Savottan governance known as the Principate, where Oppius Major and his descendants would rule a semi-monarchical and semi-republican state. Where the Imperator’s ruled in conjunction with an elected body, and where each new Imperator would have to be confirmed by popular vote.

This system would go on until 82 AD, where [[Julius Flavius Major|Imperator Tiberius Major]] would begin reforming the Principate into a more autocratic system.

Government

Main article: Government of Salisford

Overview

Salisford is a monarchy, headed by a autocratic monarch who rules through decree. Despite the monarch's absolute authority, he has little power. Relying on a bureaucracy of local lords, administrators, and vassal relationships to effect his decrees. The monarchy itself is dedicated to the idea of subsidiarity, with most problems being dealt with on the local level, only moving to higher powers when local powers are unable to deal with the problem effectively.

The Monarch

Main article: Monarchy in Salisford

The Monarch acts as head of state and head of government for Salisford. Sovereignty is vested in the King, both legitimate in blood and by deeds. The King rules the domain, and those who reside within are his subjects. However, the power of the King is restricted by the doctrine of the Church, the traditional laws and usages of the realm, and through a series of pronvincial councils and state-independent intermediate bodies.

The Royal Council

Main article: Royal Council (Salisford)

The Royal Council is Salisford's equivalent of a cabinet. Staffed by Great Officers of the Realm as well as advisors the King personally invites onto the Council. The Council assists and advises the King on policy, law, and every facet of maintaining the Realm. Decrees and statues from the King are first discussed with the Council and, if the King is satisfied with their advice, these decisions become ordinance. These decrees are called decrees from the King-in-Council.

Concessiones

Main article: Concessiones (Salisford)

The Concessiones are ancient and traditional rights granted to areas, peoples, and institutions by a Salisfordian monarch. These Concessiones are usually an acknowledgement of local or regional self-rule (such as in the Church, or in remote areas). The development of the Concessiones coincides with the Catholic doctrine of Subsidiarity. Uniquely, recent monarchs have granted Concessiones to Catholic trade and labor unions, as well as to other Catholic worker organizations.

The Church

The Church plays a major role in Salisfordian political, social, and religious life. As the King claims a divine right to rule, his rule is confirmed by a bishop in the semi-sacramental rite of coronation. The Salisfordian monarchy believes Catholicism to be the cornerstone of Salisford itself, and is politically active in its defense.

Geography

Main article: Geography of Salisford
Topographic Map of Salisford
A lagoon off the coast of Salisford.
The southwestern coastline of Salisford is dominated by steep cliffs. Over time, the local population has terraced these cliffs for agriculture.
Because of warm ocean currents, the northern parts of Salisford are subject to hot summers that sometimes create a semi-arid environment.

Salisford is divided into a number of provinces which are governed by a royally-apointed governor. The coast of Salisford is rocky with high cliffs, however, parts of the coast are lower in elevation and have sandy picture-esque beaches. The interior of Salisford is flat and temperate. The majority of Salisford's population lives in the central plain, however, there are large population centers on the Western Highlands.

Main article: Economy of Salisford

The Salisfordian economy is industrialized and strong economic bases in the fields of manufacturing, engineering, and tourism. However, a large part of the Salisfordian economy is also based in agriculture. Notable Salisfordian corporations include the Royal Salisfordian Arsenal, Beretta, and Piaggio Aerospace.

Salisford's agricultural base is centered around smaller family farms, which have been distributed by royal decree from large estates previously owned by the landed aristocracy.

Salisford is a major exporter of grains, fruits, and vegetables. Most notably: wheat, barley, olives, tomatoes, and garlic.

Military

Main article: Military of Salisford

The Salisfordian military is made up of a core base of volunteers, who make up specialist detachments, the officer corps, and a small standing force. This volunteer force is supplemented by conscripts. Salisfordian males are conscripted into government service after graduation from secondary school. This can be in a civilian service corps for a period of 4 years, or in military service for a period of 2 years.

Salisfordian Air Force

Main article: Royal Salisfordian Air Force

Due to the highly technical nature of the Salisfordian Air Force, the majority of the branch is formed of volunteer career soldiers, and conscripts are only taken in for non-technical jobs, such as Security Forces, Administratives Officers, etc.

Salisfordian Pilot Training is restricted to volunteers.[1]



Demographics

Main article: Demographics of Salisford

Salisford is made up of a majority of Salisfordians. Due to strict citizenship laws, there is a limited amount of non-Salisfordians who are Salisfordian citizens. However, there is a somewhat-sizable number of non-citizen residents who work and live in Salisford.
