History
Cheocia began in AD 400, when the Roman Empire was still thriving. In the city of Cheocia, located in the south eastern part of Italy, revolutionaries had started to protest being part of Rome. By 410, 60% of the population were protesting to leave the empire. Because of their actions, Rome decided to declare war on Cheocia. There was a 7 year long war, but eventually, the Cheocians won. Being devastated from Cheocia leaving Rome, the Roman Empire fell. In 450, Cheocia had reclaimed all of the Italian peninsula, plus Sicily and Sardinia. When the country was in its infancy, the people decided that there needs to be a government. Being inspired by the ancient Greeks, they installed democracy into Cheocia. They made paper currency, instead of metal, which was foreign to the western world at the time. Thinking Italy was too much of a small place to live in 1680, Explorers headed south to find new land. They traveled south for 234 days, thinking that they'd never find any land. Until they found New Sicily, located in South Africa. New Sicily became a new country after the Decolonization Crisis in late 21st Century. There was also a Kingdom of Sicily, which ruled for about 10 years, then collapsed and the next year became part of the empire again.
