Liguria

Liguria is an island country East of the Ninja Archipelago.

History
Liguria was inhabited by Regular Emperor and Adelie Penguins in 8 BC, and claimed the land for the Penguin Empire. They built their capital city of Dellaroma on The Ten Hills, and tried to make it a replica of the Penguin Empire's Capital. The Penguin Empire fully influenced the Island's Culture very much, even after it's fall in 450, when a horde of Viking Penguins occupied the area. The Viking Penguins adoped the culture of Liguria, with the Viking City of Frostize as a wonderful Example. As the Population grew, so did Liguria's cities. Many new cities began to spring up, notably Milano, Vlorentia, Yenoa, and Graples. Some time later, the HPC sprung up, but Liguria did not want to join it, so they stayed as an Independant country. In the Mideval Periods, many Castles, (or more commonly called Castellos) where built to protect themselves from raiders from other islands. Eventually, in the city of Vlorentia, the Ideas of the Renaissance began. Art Flourished all across Liguria, the High Penguin Confederacy, and all the other places across Antarctica. Several Centuries later in 1903, a penguin named P. Pius bought a run down part of the capital city of Dellaroma and established the independant City-State of the Centriepistula. Later in 1913, a stubborn penguin named Mussellinie overthrew the last King of Liguria by deleting him. Musselinie became the Dictator of Liguria and allied with Khanzem during the war. After the war, Musselinie allied with Japaland and Deuchland before he died from a snowbullet in front of his Villa. (a Centriepistulan Guard Shot him) The citizens decided to have a republic, and it was formed in 1920. Liguria and Centriepistula are still prosperous today.

Culture
The Culture of Liguria has been impaced mostly by the Snowman Empire and the Penguin Empire, especially cuisine, which really is the country's Icon. Like Frankterre, Art is popular there.

Cuisine
Liguria is famous for it's pasta, which is their main staple food. Each region on the island makes it's own variation of pasta with different pasta dishes, sauces, and shapes. Some famous pasta dishes include Lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo. Most of the Pastas are made with Cheese, which is very popular in Liguria. Other non-pasta dishes include Pizza,
