Sicily

Sicily (in Greek Σικελία), also called The People of Sicily (in Ancient Greek ὁ δῆμος τῆς Σικελίας) is a transcontinental country located between Southern Europe and Northern Africa in the Vegetable Earth World. It spans across the island of Sicily, Malta and the coastal areas of Algeria, Tunisia and Libya nearby. The de-facto capital city is Catania.

It currently has no official leader. There are, however, appointed ministries that work in a specific area, for important matters of national importance, decisions are taken democratically between all citizens.

Foundation
Sicily was founded on October 24th of 2020 when the the Vegetable Earth World was launched. Prior the launch, the Sicilians were able to claim the main island, Malta, southern tip of Italian peninsula and coastal areas of Northern Africa.

The first settlers arrived on the eastern flatlands of Sicily and founded the soon-to-be capital city of the nation, Catania. The settlers were originated from Greece and the Hellenic culture is visible to this day: the official language of Sicily is Greek and just few days after the launch, the Temple of Artemis was constructed for Greek paganism.

Western expansion
Shortly after the city of Catania was founded, more and more of the settlers started to expand the country elsewhere. A gigantic pyramid was built on top of the island of Malta. The city of Marsala was founded on the western flatlands. Marsala will provide the Parliament House for the Sicilian government. Located between Marsala and Catania, the town of Apotomos is a residential area built on a steep mountainside.

Settlements
Sicily currently has six settlements. Four of these are located on the main island.
 * Acropolis (Ακρόπολις)
 * Apotomos (Απότομος)
 * Carthage (Καρχηδόνα)
 * Catania (Κατάνια)
