'''Serria''' (Serrian: Serria [/særiɐ/]), officially the '''Theocratic Papal Constitutional Monarchy of the Divine Serrian Archipelago, Canteu, Granto, the St. Tiaranos Islands, Sanpoli, Agios, Paros, and of the Blessed Principalities in Edusa and Icaria''' (Serrian: ''Monarchia Costituzionale Papale Teocratica del Divino Arcipelago Serriano, Canteu, Granto, Isole Tiaranos, Sanpoli, Agios, Paros e del Beato Principati d'Edusa e Icaria''), or the '''Kingdom of Serria''' (commonly abbreviated '''K.S.'''), is a theocratic constitutional monarchy on the Serrian archipelago. Its mainland is bordered on all sides by the Nuntic Sea and has an enclave, the [[Sovereign Military Order of Serria|Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint Silischo of Canteu and Serria]]. It maintains five [[Serrian Foreign Dependencies|overseas Archdioceses]], covering all oceans, as well as a Principality in [[Edusa]] and one in [[Blessed Principality of North Icaria|Icaria]]. Additionally, the [[Noŕ|Great Holy State of The Noŕ College of Cardinals]] remains a de facto protectorate while in a de jure Papal Union partnership. [[Metropolitan Serria]] is divided into 23 [[Serrian Archdiocese|Archdioceses]] which cover 152,362 square kilometers and have an estimated population of 51,242,000. Its politics are often described as social liberal or social conservative.

Serria has a constitutionally-mandated policy of total neutrality, maintaining a [[Serrian Defense Force|self-defense force]] as opposed to traditional armed forces. Religion has a traditional role in the government; the nation is a holy place for the Catholic community. The island was first settled in pre-history by a non-Serrian population which composed of various isolated tribes. Proto-Serrians later migrated to the archipelago and subjugated its native population. Serrian culture eventually replaced that of the natives entirely. The archipelago is believed to have been first unified in 842 BCE under a Serrian state. The nation cemented its royal system and established its traditions, with numerous failed attempts at expansion throughout the first and early second millenniums. After developing a successful trade network spanning the globe, Serria became a colonial power with large holdings in Serthenia and smaller trade cities around the world, some maintained as foreign dependencies to this day. It successfully defended during the Great War, and has since become a key part of the global economy and a world financial center.

[[File:FratellisSquare.jpg|thumb|left|Fratelli's Square, the site of the 1815 protests]]On the 9th of November 1815, protesters stormed the city square in Serria, in front of the Palace of the Grand Master, and demanded a democratic system to be implemented. Inspired by revolutions against Dolfik colonies in Serthenia and in other nations, these protesters demanded the establishment of a parliamentary system. Originally, Grand Master Luca IV objected to this idea, as he had just entered the sphere of power in Serria and was reported by many aides to be stubborn to release it. This, however, was dangerous, as the mob that originally formed a peaceful protest broke into a military armory and demanded reform or revolution, led by graduate philosopher Antonio Roberto Fallini. To maintain stability and order, Pope Luca IV conceded, albeit begrudgingly. Following two years of political deliberation, a consensus was reached and ratified in January of 1818 that consisted of elected Dukes, instead of appointed ones. These would form Congress of Dukes (contemporarily referred to today as Parliament), which would then influence the College of Cardinals, the government's highest authority. Although the Cardinals still elected the Grand Master, a new position was also created, titled the 'Minister-President', which assumed the duties of Head of Government, relieving much of the expanded papal authority. This revolt had brought back the democracy that was removed from the nation during the Rinascita, and it satisfied the protestors enough that historians believe it prevented violent revolution.

200 years after exile had ended, the loss of Metropolitan Serria retained its importance in Serrian culture and politics. The public was supportive of well-funded, defensive-focused armed forces, and any offensive doctrine was heavily scrutinized. With the development of the state-operated integrated Serrian railway network in 1887, the military reformed its operations to maximize mobility through rail. Increased funding from Parliament allowed for the development of increasingly advanced cannons to be deployed on warships, the outdated ironclads to be replaced with steam-powered battleships, and for the sailing, frigates were replaced by advanced cruisers. The modular part design on Serrian guns replaced outdated equipment, reducing production time, and closing the technological gap with other modern armies. By 1901, the Serrian re-armament program was declared completed. In total, the nation had developed a medium-sized fleet of state-of-the-art cruisers, battleships, and infantry equipment that would remain competitive until the era Dreadnought and the semi-automatic rifle 20 years later. In 1901, Serrian pioneer Adriano Salvatore Verrani had sustained the world's first heavier-than-air powered flight, which flew for seven-hundred feet. Verrani's invention was displayed at the 1902 World's Fair in Kerthenia, which gave Serria international attention for its scientific discovery and growing industrial prowess. Verrani would soon found the aircraft manufacturer Verrani, previously an unsuccessful unicycle consulting firm.

Grand Master DeCocco entered office after being sworn in as Grand Master on the 27th of December, 1906. DeCocco launched bold and controversial programs to reform the nation, often causing controversy for pushing the boundaries of Papal authority under the 1815 Constitution. His programs aimed to create tens of thousands of jobs, build new schools, and to "make Vellina the aviation capital of the world." The Grand Master asked Parliament to fund a large coastal fortification project, consisting of a system of forts and bunkers that would be manned within a day to defend the beaches expediently. The fortifications were concentrated where the strategic advantage and the threat were highest in consultation with the military. International newspapers soon nicknamed the project 'Fortress: Serria'. While the re-armament program was completed in 1909, it did not construct infrastructure other than a railway to support the war effort. DeCocco era policy focused on the ability to use forward-thinking solutions and infrastructure as a weapon against an invading force. New and old bridges were designed or retrofitted with explosives to halt an advance. Roads were integrated with systems to easily make traversing the mountainous areas impossible. He also mandated, in the legislature passed by the Parliament, that these forts and defensive measures would be maintained and upgraded to fend off the latest threats. These laws were titled 'Mandato di difesa' in Serrian, or 'Defense Mandate.'
