History
The Vertosan Empire is a political union of nations. It was formed in November 2004 after a series of events, that started when the nation known as Vertosa ceased to exist after a nuclear attack from unknown origin. The people fled to a near by archipelago, now known as The Vertosan Islands. When the people returned to the mainland to rebuild their nation, there were those who decided to remain on the islands. The Vertosan Islands was officially recognised as a nation in October 2004.
From here, Vertosan citizens began to colonise the nearby territories. They moved from the Pacific into unchartered waters and began to build nations. The colonies were widespread and no mechanism was in place to defend them from attack. It seemed clear that Vertosa had many enemies who had colluded to destroy Vertosan culture by launching the initial nuclear strike of the State of Vertosa.
The President of Vertosa proposed that an informal alliance should be formed. This way, the nations would be able to share resources and help each other out in times of need. He appealed to other nations to help, but only a few were willing. However, there were a few sovereign nations that were encountering difficulty themselves. They became allies of the Vertosan people and began to work with the new nations. It was from this that the alliance came into being, based on principles of cooperation and teamwork (more details at the bottom of this page).
In the November of 2004, The Sovereign Alliance of the Vertosan Empire was born. Up until early 2005 The Empire was based in the Sovereign Alliance region, but changes in the way that the empire was governed led to the creation of The Vertosan Empire Region. The empire is has dropped the phrase Sovereign Alliance from it's official title and now is refered to as just The Vertosan Empire.
Although many of the nations in the empire reside in The Vertosan Empire Region, the capital nation Vertosa remains located in Pacific. The Pacific region holds great influence over the Empire.
