The Veneto Basin Affair (known in Empirici as "The Great War") is the international name for a massive war fought between the Federation of Empiricalis and the Glorious Military Junta of No Endorse.
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 Empirical state of Tigris annexed the last of the Nempiran state, prompting significant objections from No Endorse. The area was then contested fairly continuously for the next ninety one years, becoming one of the most militarized borders in Haven.
