The Republic of Niccarro
Inspired by Renaissance Italy
There are records, dating back to somewhere around the First or Second year of Cota Titani, that relate to the true settling of Niccarro. Tieflings that had travelled as a mass force of refugees, finding no home that would not reject them for their infernal origins, came to a rest in what is now Niccarro. There they found a great many tribes of Goliaths, who understood the plight of the Tieflings and agreed to share their home.
Now unified, they joined and began the slow creation of duchies, counties and religious fifedoms. As often happens, these various locals soon began to desire power, and were set at each others throats.
This was until the year 750 CT.
A young goliath warlord rose steadily in power to take control of his homeland, deposing or killing any who stood in his way. As he steadily took control of Niccarro, some regions began to willingly bend the knee, in return for certain assurances once the Warlord's conquest was over.
By the time all of Niccarro fell to the Warlords feet, the War Lord rested and began the creation of a Republic, a land where the people would choose their leaders, and those leaders would work for the people. It was to be their Duty, unifed as a people of a strong and stable nation.
This War Lord became their first republic leader, the Caten, and was remembered as Caten Melchiorre.
The lofty ideals of Caten Melchiorre have lead to a mostly meritocratic state, with people earning their place through their work, but given that the nobility was never fully removed, Niccarro has become a republic where wealth and greed are considered to be the greatest merits a person can aspire to.
It is a Niccarran's duty to earn as much money as they can, to better fund their country. More money means more power, more power means more chances to fund the things that matter, like Art and Sciences.
The hoarding of wealth has created a very singular look of the Nicarrans.
