| - The Republic of Crete, established in the 5th of January 1857, is one of the constituent states of the Danubian Federation. The Island of Crete has a long, rich, history, dating back well before the founding of Christianity. It has housed many different civilizations and cultures, from the ancient Romans, to the seafaring Venetians. Prior to the Republic’s founding, it was known as the Duchy of Crete, and housed many of the former patricians of the now defunct state of Venezia (now San Marco). The Duchy held unstable popularity, and its legitimacy was always questioned. After the Danubian Civil War, the Duchy of Crete was abolished and replaced by the Republic of Crete, due to the results of a federal referendum. Since its establishment as a Republic, Crete has ceased to become a point of contention in Danubian politics, and has become a quiet, but productive member of the Federation.
