History

Originally the southernmost census tract of Mussolini; Florenciâ was established in 1996 by Art Verbotten.

It was in 1995 that the right-wing political party “The Clockwork Orange Party” or COP was founded by Brendan Duddy, Matthias Muth, and Nathan Freeburg. The COP took firm control of the unmanaged Mussolini province and Duddy became the new Secretary of State, replacing Wes Erni.

In 1996, the COP became the most active political party within the Kingdom of Talossa. Lead by Freeburg, the COP managed to unite with the leftist ZPT (“The Defenders of the Land of Talossa” in Talossan) in a grand scheme to defeat the PC (acronym for the Progressive Conservative Party) and make Freeburg the Prime Minister. Freeburg’s attempt failed and he was soon expelled from the COP, replaced by Matthias Muth.

Art Verbotten, a citizen assigned to Mussolini, was growing unhappy with the way the COP had handled provincial politics. Determined to found his own province, Verbotten asked for the blessing of King Robert I.

With the blessings of the King and the COP, Verbotten formed a new province named after Queen Florence I, who reined from August 24, 1987 to February 27 1988. On January 26, 1996, the first provincial constitution of Florenciâ was ratified.

On June 1, 2004, the Republic of Talossa was founded. Among the original provinces of the Republic was Florenciâ, led by the founder himself, Art Verbotten. It would take more than four years but the Republican Florencians were able to cobble together the second constitution of Florenciâ on March 25, 2008.

Art Verbotten served as Governor of Florenciâ until August 9, 2009 when Dav Rôibeardét elected himself as Acting Interim Governor. Originally slated to hold the office until October 10, 2009, Rôibeardét grew increasingly frustrated by the lack of citizens and resigned on September 19, 2009. However, with the addition of Antonio Lixhita and at his request, Rôibeardét once again took office as Governor on September 28, 2009.

It was on that same day that Governor Rôibeardét appointed Lixhita as the first Electoral Commissioner of Florenciâ. With this appointment, Florenciâ was set for it’s first election in the Republic.

Unfortunately, the elections never came to fruition. Commissioner Lixhita, having gone missing from the Republic, never organised the election. On October 8, 2009, Governor Rôibeardét extended his gubernatorial term in an attempt to allow time for the Commissioner to return. However, Antonio Lixhita never returned and so Governor Rôibeardét continues his duties to this day.
