Etymology

The name "Opulentus" comes from a Latin word meaning "rich and powerful", signifying Caeruleus' strength and wealth.

History

Opulentus was built in 19 or 20 (1949). It is unknown who the first owners were, but an Egyptian family were inhabiting the territory previously. From Quadramense 84 (December 2013) to Triamense 85 (July or August 2014), the Juddlandic States operated on the territory now known as Opulentus, with the Caerulean Royal Palace serving as the capital, JuddWyvria. Opulentus soon went through a series of name changes, including Imperial City and Augusta, finally settling on the current name by the time the constitution was signed. Many historic events took place in the territory, such as the signing of the constitution, the first independence day feast, and King Lewis' coronation. 1 Duomense 86 (21 June 2015) was another big day in Opulentian history, as Opulentus was, along with Conculius, officially incorporated, with a flag being adopted the same day.

Government

Opulentus follows all rules of the Kingdom of Caeruleus, as well as American laws (all Caeruleans have duel citizenship). Officially, a viceroyal heads the settlement under guidance of the prime minister, however one has not been decided yet.

Climate

Opulentus has a Mediterranean climate, with largely mild weather. Snowfall is very uncommon. It is believed Opulentus has experienced temperatures as high as 44° Celsius (111° Fahrenheit), and temperatures as low as -4° Celsius (25° Fahrenheit).

Flag

On 1 Duomense 86 (21 June 2015), the same day the settlement was incorporated, an official flag was adopted. It features the same exact colors of the regular Caerulean flag, but is arranged in a way to make it appear as if the black dove is flying over a body of water. This design is in honor of the Pool of Opulentus, a popular recreational landmark, and the largest Caerulean body of water.
