Background
The Veneto Basin is a geographical area comprising the border between the Empiricalian state of Tigris and the nation of No Endorse. Historically, this area has been home to numerous ethnic groups namely the Nempirans, the original inhabitants of the area. Additionally, there are small but politically significant populations of racial No Endorsians and Tigrii scattered throughout the area.
In the past, this area was a sovereign nation, but over the years, it was slowly whittled away by the dueling powers on either side. Eventually, some ninety one years before the Affair, the Empiricalian state of Tigris took over the last of the old Nempiran state, prompting significant objections from No Endorse. The area was contested constantly for those ninety one years, becoming one of the more militarized borders in Northern Haven.
