r/CentauraAltera

screenshot and tell me which constellation you got!

After some brainstorming, i decided to create a new nation of mine. idk if the Centaura Altera community still accepts new nations, but i still decided to show mine off. its name is the Crowned Realm Of Canopius, and is situated to the far north of centaura, near eastern Riaa. its an archapelago around the size of vulpa, and has a rich history of constantly being fought over by Yishen and Urza.

Language: Canopean (a mix of Russian Cyrillic but has more of a Belarussian alphabet, with accents varying but because of historical context its mainly a Belarussian accent)

History: back when the Grusan empire was still around in ~800-900, a few Canopean islands were explored until yishen kicked them off the riaan mainland. the Canopean isles were mainly under Urzan inlfuence until a brief war with Yishen in 1733 had them dispelled from the western regions. Canopius was split between the 2 for a long time, and saw a constant back and forth of power between yishen and urza. in around ~1820, Yishen had managed to fully control the isles, and urza finally gave in due to their much more important duties in Hydra and Forma. in 1890, during the Yishen civil war, Canopius broke away after years of oppression, similar to Virgo. during this period, many yishen loyalists were expelled or killed, and it was known as the Canopean "Crimson Period" as bloody infighting continued until the Riaan Nationalists managed to take control of the sea and send aid. The Canopeans were very greatful for the riaan assistance, and as a token of appreciation, riaan paganism was adopted as the official national religion. after this, a growing friendship between Canopius, Riaa, Tucana, and Centauri began influencing the QOF (quality of life) and economic situation it was in. during the Centaurian wars, in 1938, Urza invaded the islands and they were integrated into Urzan territory. eventually, after the fall of Antares, Capricornicus, and Urza, an era of peace began. the royalty was reduced to a Constitutional Monarchy, and an economic boom began in the 1920s. everything was going swell. that is, until the Black Springs incident. during which, a civil war broke out between federalists and Democrats. the Federalists won, and thats about everything.

there is a massive urzan minority in Canopius during 1908 - 1993.

in 1908, the helmets used for the military were similar to that of the British broadie helmet, but with a shorter outer dish, colored navy blue. The vests were nearly identical to riaa's though with a more noticable dark turquoise tint, and the emblem of the nation was usually stapled onto the left side of the chest.

The national emblem is the "choraya zorna (sshoria zona)" meaning the black star.

The turquoise represents the rodinese people and their free identity. the black represents the determination and will of the people. the green represents the independence of Canopius, and the unity between the islands. The white represents the peace of the nation that has held for decades. And the choraya zorna in the middle represents the nation itself.

The capital city is "Yaltonai" the largest city in the nation, and the 2nd largest city is "fellaxon" a very important trade hub for the country.

The population totals at around 48 Million.

This is all I got so far, lmk what y'all think.

IM OVER HALFWAY DONE LETS GOOO
