Editing Senzanya

Senzanya is a largely flat area of northeastern Avellia.  It is bordered by the [[Avellian Ocean]] on its eastern coast, by [[Mon Prath]] in the northwest, and the [[Veltria|Veltrian Republic]] in the southwest.  Two major rivers, the [[Pennox]] and the [[Koble]], divide the nation into three sections of arable, and settled, farmland; these regions provide much of the country's food supply.  The prosperous eastern region houses many of the country's major cities, including Pennox City on the delta of the river of the same name.  The [[Mitans]], a steep mountain range, make population in the northern region of Senzanya scarce.

The region now known as Senzanya was originally inhabited by a number of small city-states, sharing similar customs and a common language (that now known as [[Senzanyan (language)|Senzanyan]]) but still hostile toward one another.  This changed during the Senzanyan Wars of the mid-twenty-seventh century.  [[King Senzan I]] lead a campaign out of his native city-state of Pennox (now Pennox City) and conquered many areas of the region, uniting them under his rule.  These areas gradually coalesced into the nation of Senzanya, named after its first ruler.

 

The period following the reign of Senzan I saw a long era of monarchical rule by Senzan's descendants.  This went on until the early thirty-first century, when the Senzanyan Revolution overthrew the monarchy and established a flexible democracy with minimal government.  The political system has been largely unchanged ever since.
