The Lordship of Itteria (Itterian: Signoria d'Itteria) is a province within the Kingdom of Batavia. It has been part of the Batavian heartland since its foundation. It's name derived from the Iron Company colony, under which administration the region flourished and turned into a major economic hub of South-West Benacia.
History
The name Itteria is taken from the Batavian muncipality of Itteria, which was located in Eastern Dietsland. The native Itterians are still mostly of Batavian descent.
In 1642. the Iron Company colonised a part of the Benacian green, and started mining silver in mines near the town of Castelluccio. In order to transfer the silver, a modern road was built to connect the town with the newly established coastal city of Porto di Ferro. Although the Iron Company currently has full control over the Itterian Colony, it is officially part of Blackstone.
Government
Itteria is a regular province (heerlijkheid) of Batavia, but has some autonomy. Especially in the areas of trade and taxation, the Lordship sets its own rules. The distinct cultural background of the Lordship, largely influenced by Tellian culture, has allowed the Lordship to set its own laws on cultural practices and symbolism as well.
The Lord of Itteria is Giacomo Lucci, who also a prominent politician in 's Koningenwaarde.
Giid-Lisea
The Colony of Itteria was used by the Iron Company to experiment with the use of large animals in the mines. For that purpose, 60 Giid-Lisea were bought from the Palliscian Trade Association. The animals acclimatised quickly and were put to work in the mines. Aside from an unfortunate accident, during which a Giid-Lisea sat on an unfortunate Iron Company employee, the introduction of the animals has been very succesful.
