History
Founded by famed soldier of fortune, Gorawarthieniup, the Grand Duchy came into existence a mere twenty years ago. With the proceeds of his illustrious martial career, His Verdigral Highness purchased a surplus aircraft carrier from an undisclosed nation and remodeled it as a world-class production facility for smart munitions and cruise missiles for export. In response to various ... legal difficulties ... regarding the sales of his products, His Verdigral Highness sailed out into international waters and declared his sovereignty on October 31, 1986 - also known as "Green Friday" - officialy founding the Grand Duchy of Gorawarthieniup with the HVS Crossbow as its capitol.
Geography
The HVS Crossbow is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of undisclosed origin. The massive ship forms the nucleus of the rapidly-growing floating nation. Its four reactors provide the primary motive power for the rare occasions the nation moves to a new location, but they are more often used to provide the steam power that drives the nation's thriving arms manufacturing industries. Over the past two decades, a bizarre panoply vessels of vastly differing sizes have attached themselves to the floating Duchy - from a pair of gargantuan 380 m (1245 foot) supertankers added to the realm in 1993 to the infamous cruise ship-turned factory worker dormatory "Pacific Princess" to a vast flotilla of inflatable dinghies inhabited by the Duchy's newest immgrants.
