History

The City of Diuetta was founded by MattDB in the Southwest Region of the Creative 1.12 Map. With buidling begining in Early April of 2018, until the project was ultimately delayed and restarted in Late May of 2018. Beginning with the Grand Hall of the Assembly, also known simply as the Senate of Diuetta, the city became the capital of the Grand Republic of Diuettium as of 6/11/18 (Month/Day/Year Format) joining multiple cities with initiative to form a union of builders.

Diuetta is located along the western edge of the Diuettan Sea and is approximately 1-2 kilometers from both Avalon, Barcalos, Master City and Savoie Maritime.

As is of the cities in the southwest region, Diuetta is primarily English-Speaking, though with a mix of many Romance Languages such as French, Italian, and Spanish, of which all derive from the last latin-speaking community of Diuetta.

Naming of the City

The name Diuetta (Dee-u-ett-ah) is a combination of the words Deus (Latin for God), Dio (Italian for God), and Etta (Italian suffix for small), to mean God's Little Land, or God's Little City. Being that this city is named after a deity, the ancient Diuettans were and modern Diuettans are a very religious people, in which the dominant religion is Roman Catholicism, following the beliefs of the Romans who had once controlled the area of Diuettius, the ancient term for the city and region of which the Diuettans inhabited. Located at a Mediterranean Climate, Diuetta is very well suited for growing grapes, olives, and many other crops, which brought economic wealth and large numbers of imports and exports in the area. Due to the prosperity of the land, it was believed that God himself had owned the land and wanted to keep it protected, which is why it was then named God's Little Land.

Beginnings of the City

The city of Diuetta started as a colony of the Romans under the name Diuettius, participating as a mostly elite state of government, with the Roman senatorial authority even using it on some occassions for keeping large amounts of Roman coins and markets, military and even the castle of a Roman Emperor. As an obviously thriving city, the population grew and all Roman people knew of its existance and of how it was a "Grand City for all Romans to adore." As its people commonly travelled around the Empire, alot brought the ideals of Christianity to the city and it became one of the first cities to host the Christian religion, secretly, hidden, as the Roman Senate did not approve of the ideals at first, due to the worshippers not believing in the Emperor as a god.

Middle Age and Renaissance of the City

After the fall of Rome, the Diuettan City Government took seize of the areas around itself and established the first Diuettan Empire, in which the people of Diuettius, now renamed Diuetta had established their authority in the world. When the Dark Ages hit the city, the Plague was devastating to states around it, but due to the constant trade flow with the Byzantine Empire, many of the Diuettan Men, Women, and Children survived, with few casualties, and the city once more became a golden spot of prosperity and promise. Statues of the old Diuettan-Roman Soldiers were erected infront of the gates of the newly built wall. With the rest of the world seeking shelter due to the fall of the Roman Empire and the Bubonic Plague, Diuetta extended its reach stretching from the Capital Sea area to the Helvetian Archipelago Colony, and additional areas such as the Manaean Territory and colonies. With many kingdoms now challenging the Diuettans for ultimate control, Diuetta re-established itself as the Grand Empire of Diuettium which lasted from 1229AD-1810AD before joining the Imperial Provinces of Helvetia in 1811AD as a full-fledged member of the Imperator's Elite Council, and a special administrative state. With the Imperial Provinces of Helvetia falling due to economic failure and internal conflict, the first Grand Consul of Diuetta rose up and established the Grand Republic of Diuettium on 6/11/18 (Month/Day/Year Format) with the Grand Council of Diuettium to establish a Constitutional Republic which still stands. The formation of the Grand Republic of Diuettium brought an end to the Diuettan Renaissance period and started the Grand Era of Cities, in which economic prosperity was brought back to cities who had suffered from economic drought.

Government and Society

Diuetta's government is a Constitutional Republic, and it has 2 year elections for its senators and governors. The Diuettans are not only a term of the city folk, but also the Grand Republic of Diuettium citizens. With multiple citizens and cultures fusing ideas, the Diuettan Society has become very culturally diverse and intelligence levels have increased exponentially due to the teachings of multiple minds and scholars of the past. It is obvious that despite the cultural fusion, the Diuettan economy and social structure increased to the point where despite some struggles, answers are found. With a large population to sustain in the capital, lots of food is imported, though some Mediterranean climate foods are grown in the vicinity of the city. With the current Grand Consul's reforms to bring road networks to the city of Diuetta, the now rebuilt city is recieving many more imports than in the past, and the economy of the city is thriving. The City of Diuetta does honor its Roman roots by putting signs such as "Senatus Populusque Diuettius" meaning Senate and People of Diuettius (Old city name).

The City's head is known as the Grand Mayor, and he/she has the ability to build authorize governmental buidlings and emergency buildings such as hospitals, police departments, senate repairs, and military related buildings.
