Furnu

Furnu, officially the Maritime Republic of Furnu (Furnese: Repubblica Mareddima 'o Furnu) is a nation in Southern Europa, situated primarily on the southern portion of the Peninsula of Gozo. Furnu shares its only land border, to the north, with the Cisalpine States and also shares sea borders with Lamilaria, Grand Occitania, and Port Wish.

A successor state of the Argian Empire, Furnu was for centuries following the latter's collapse the most prominent socio-cultural center on the Europan continent before it was itself devastated by a series of foreign invaders. After a period of political and social chaos which spanned nearly four hundred years, the organization of the Republic of Arethusa in 1672 under the leadership of the influential Calvanti family provided a flashpoint for the unification and re-emergence of modern Furnu.

Contemporary Furnu is a constitutional republic which features prominently in Europan social, economic, and cultural affairs. The nation rates highly in most measures of quality-of-life and human development, and citizens enjoy above-average productivity and incomes. Furnu is also especially noted as a major diplomatic power within the region and has hosted some of the most momentous diplomatic gatherings in Europan history.
