About
Economy

Lutetia used to import most of its resources from colonies. After the period of decolonisation, most money was earned by established farms. Mainly sugarcane, pupkins and cocoa beans. Crates have always been an extra income source for Lutetia.Politics

The town used to have a large colonial presence on every continent. When the dependent outpost became too overextented to govern, they were sold off to other towns or abandoned. Lutetia is an absolute monarchy under ImperatorGigi IV (imperator=emperor). The Empire of Lutetia joined Rome on May 5th, 2021. It was a part of the Cyrodiil (now Tempest) Realm before joining Rome.

Culture

Lutetians used to be a very imperialistic people, but after the period of decolonisation, their main attention was on science and art. This was a true golden age for Lutetia. Around late July 2021, Lutetia started its conquest of France, the Lower countries and Germany. This would lay the foundation of the independance of these lands, two months later.

Geography

Lutetia is mainly built in jungle biomes. Massive deforestation is needed whenever the towns needs more building space. Due to the desity of jungles, it can take up to an entire day to clear enough forest for a handful of buildings. There are several mountains in the claimed area, they are partially dug away and are later transformed into tall buildings/fotresses.

Military

The town's army has been deployed several times to intimidate rival towns and nation into submission. It was used three times for Roman conflicts. It later evolved into the Grande Armée, a force that would fight against the Roman Republic.

Fall of Lutetia

After ImperatorGigi abandoned it to use more claims for Paris, Lutetia stayed his personal Asian possesion for two months. When he took mot of his other territories out of the Roman Republic, he directly annexed Lutetia into his main town of Greatest Netherlands, thereby ending one of the oldest towns on the TownySMP.
