Most Serene Republic of Venice

 * Government: Thalassocracy / Venetian merchant republic.​​​​​
 * Doge: Francesco Foscari
 * Military:
 * Army: 25,000 troops, infantry & cavalry combined.
 * Navy: At least 3,180 merchant ships doubling as warships. The Venetian Arsenal constructs ships at a pace of one merchant/warship approximately every two days.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: approximately 2,5 million.
 * Venice: ~181,000
 * Economy: With extensive control of Mediterranean trade by Venetian merchant fleets, the Venetian economy is bolstered by trade routes over Southern Europe and North Africa.
 * Wars: 
 * Venetian-Ottoman War (continued): Venetian merchant ships are fitted with cannons to make into warships and sent out to surround and blockade the Turkish coastline and the Ionian Sea. Orders are given to attack any Ottoman vessel if they attempt to break the blockade, and assist Byzantine vessels in their doings. The aim of the war is to take over Ionian islands owned by the Ottomans to be used as supply stops for Venice's fleets.
 * Events:
 * Ragusan Election Shenaningans (continued): Venetian spies were sent to work on building a spy network, working on rigging the elections of Ragusa to bring in a Rector (title of ruler of the Republic of Ragusa) who would be willing to hand over the Republic into part of La Serenissima.
 * Diplomacy: 
 * Papal States: We would like to send a formal thank you.
 * Armenia: We accept their offer. Surely nothing bad can come of this?
