Near the start of the 1480's, Several Citizens from Yandavara packed up everything and moved south. They settled on a hilly Island and named it Mertucia. They built a small city and several hamlets surrounding the city.

Here is a picture of Mertucia:

The only landmark in Mertucia is the Villa Mertucia. It was created in honor of the Mertucia Ravenna. It is the home of the govenor of Mertucia, Govenor Dante Rodrigo who is the present Govenor at this time (he is half spanish.)

The mines opened up when the govenor discovered the silver and emerald pits under the ground in the hills. The Emerald would be worthless if the jewelers hadn't found out how to craft it into fine Mertucian Jewelry. The selling of this jewelry made the govenor rich and not the actual workers themselves. Many riots and strikes happened and caused the city to enter into a slight recession as many buyers of this fine jewelery refused to buy it because of the problems there. Here are the mines:

(sorry the picture is small)

The docks opened up shortly after the Villa Mertucia was built. It opened trade to many Italian cities and towns in the homeland. One major buyer of the fine jewelery was Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia (The Most Serene Repulic of Venice.) This brought about a major jump in GDP of Mertucia. However Yandavara would not purchase anything from Mertucia.

The Mertucia Docks:

Mertucia experienced an industrial revolt and the old govener was impeached. The Danieltidore Family seized control and the city experienced cut taxes and higher wages. The city was at peace again.
