Fleura

Fleura is a province of Lauchenoiria. Historically, Fleura was an independent country from antiquity, before splitting into North Fleura and South Fleura in 1840. Present-day Fleura consists of the territory of the former state of South Fleura, while historical Fleura also incorporated North Fleura (present-day Kerlile).

History

Independent Fleura

Fleura has existed as a nation since antiquity. The nation is named after the ubiquitous flowers that cover the area around Lake Wallace.

Valahandian wars

In the 1480s, Fleura took advantage of fighting between Yervian and Valahandian forces to conquer the northern part of Eastern Yervia. In the 1760s, the Valahandians were chased out of the Lauchenoirian area by the Fleurans, who took their colony as their own; which incorporated present-day Ulinaria Province and Melissa Province.

North-South split

In the 1840s, a republican revolution took place in South Fleura, leading the Fleuran state to split in two, with North Fleura retaining the monarchy while South Fleura kept their Ulinarian colonial holding, and became a republic like neighbouring Yervia.

Within Lauchenoiria

In 1921, South Fleura was the initiator of the talks with Yervia and Costeno which resulted in Lauchenoirian unification. At the time, sceptics of unification accused South Fleura of coercing their neighbours into Lauchenoiria; however this has never been proven. Present-day Fleura contains the Lauchenoirian capital of Buttercity, and is seen as one of the most important provinces of Lauchenoiria.
