Hadrias

The Hadriatic Republic (in latin Respublica Hadriatica, in hadrian Repūblega Hadrātica) usually known as "Hadrias" is a modern-day country in Central Europe. It borders Naples, Tyrrhenia, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Greece.

It is a member of the Italian Tripartite Pact and the European Union and numerous other international organizations such as the UN and NATO.

It is known for having three capital cities, Venice and Trieste are seen as the de-iure ceremonial capital city. Although unlike Venice, Trieste does have many governmental buildings including the upper-house of the National Parliament. Milan is the economical, logistical and commercial capital of the country and it also hosts most of its institutions and other countries' embassies.

History
During the 5th century, North East Italy was devastated by the barbaric invasions. A large number of the inhabitants moved to the coastal lagoons, looking for a safer place. Here they established a collection of lagoon communities, stretching over about 130 km from Chioggia in the south to Grado in the north, who banded together for mutual defence from the Lombards, Huns, and other invading peoples as the power of the Western Roman Empire dwindled in northern Italy.

These communities were subjected to the authority of the Byzantine Empire.

The Republic of Venice
As the barbarians were interested in the wealth of the mainland, part of the Venetian population sought refuge on some of the isolated and unoccupied islands in the lagoon, from which the city of Venetiae or Venice was born. After a period of Byzantine domination in 8th century, Venice became an independent maritime Republic ruled by its elected doge.

The Republic became a commercial superpower and its influence lasted through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In fact, the Venetian Republic enjoyed 1100 years of uninterrupted influence throughout the Mediterranean. In 1797, Napoleon invaded the territory of the Venetian Republic. Overwhelmed by more powerful forces, Doge Ludovico Manin resigned and retired to his villa at Passariano in Friuli and the thousand year old Republic disappeared as an independent state. This proved very unpopular in the mainland cities where sympathies were strong with the Republic of Venice. By the Treaty of Campoformio signed on 17 October 1797, part of the Venetian mainland was handed over to Francis II of the Holy Roman Empire and a western part was annexed to the French backed Cisalpine Republic. The territory soon reverted to Napoleon in 1801.

Austrian rule and independence
Then in 1805–1806, it was conquered by Napoleon's armies and included in the Kingdom of Italy. During 1809, the region revolted against the French-Italian rule, supporting the advancing Austrian troops during the War of the Fifth Coalition. It was mainly a peasant revolt, less organised than the nearby Andreas Hofer's revolt, while hurban national guard troops fought on the French-Italian side. After the Congress of Vienna, 1814–1815, Venetia was the eastern half of the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, a separate kingdom of the Austrian Empire.

During the 1848 Italian War of Independence, Venetia fought alongside Sardinia (which is going to become Tyrrhenia) and Naples and managed to defeat the Austrian forces.

After this war the Italian Tripartite Pact is formed.
