Saturnia is a state in the Kingdom of Cristoria. Founded on 6 November 2022, it is the second oldest state in the Cristorian union. Saturnia is most notably known for its relevance to the Cristorian Space Force.
History
On 6 November 2022, former King Christopher I of the Kingdom of Cristoria announced the establishment of a new state within Cristoria, as he declared on the social media app Discord:
The Cristorian Kingdom has now received its first state, that being Saturnia. Lightning I has been appointed as Prince of Saturnia by His Majesty, Christopher I.
Lightning P. was the sole governor of Saturnia until the eventual collapse of the Kingdom of Cristoria on 23 December 2022.
When the kingdom inevitably collapsed, like New Toledo, Saturnia remained as its own sovereign entity.
On 1 January 2023, upon the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the Republic of Cristoria, Saturnia was included in the new union.
During the regime change in February of 2023, Saturnia and New Toledo were both included in the union of the Socialist Republic of Cristoria.
Etymology
Saturnia is named after Saturn, a gas giant in the solar system.[1] The name Saturn roots from Rome, whereas Saturn is named after the Roman god of agriculture.[2][3]
Government
Similar to New Toledo, Saturnia has it's own city council and functions as it's own entity. Saturnia, at the same time, is also reliant on Cristoria for almost everything.
Saturnia follows a strict first-past-the-post voting system to choose new governors, or the president may appoint one.
Law
Cristorian law dictates Saturnian law, meaning any law Cristoria enacts via congress, Saturnia must follow said law.
Unlike New Toledo, Saturnia cannot draft it's own laws since it is completely reliant on Cristoria.
Military
Saturnia is home to the Cristorian Space Force, as it is the most accessible location for the CSF's telescope to view things in the solar system.
Saturnia has captured two of the most famous CSF photos in existence, one being during a lunar eclipse in 2022 and a picture of the Moon.[4]
Flag
The flag of Saturnia is very complex, similar to New Toledo's. The flag lies on a black field with a bend sporting the Cristorian colors, the bend eventually meets in the middle to form a big circle; representing Saturn.
On the outside of the bend, an orange dot and six dots can be seen. These dots represent Saturn's moons.[5]
Geography
As Saturnia is a state that is more directly outdoors, Saturnia's weather correlates with the weather of Toledo.
Saturnia is elevated at a staggering 185 meters above ground, along with New Toledo.[6]
