Renesia, officially known as the Principality of Renesia, is located in the northeast part of Alutra continent. To the west of Renesia lies Ecoralia, to the east of Renesia lies Velorenkya and to the north of it lies [OCEAN]. As of 2019, Renesia's population is estimated to be almost 5.9 million people where 5.2 million are Renesian whilst the rest are foreign nationalists. The capital city is Renes. Renesia is a Principality with an autocratic semi-feudal political system. The head of state and government is the Prince from the Tyriol family. Renesia's Official religion is Isolate Stroomism. Renesian economy is focused on manufacturing weapons and military vehicles or equipment to sell it abroad, although Renesia has a respectable jewellery and gemstone market share and recently there is a surge in electronic equipment manufacturing. Renesia is divided into 9 sections, 1 Prince holdings, 4 Noble Houses and 4 District Governships; each is allowed a certain degree of autonomy and a private army, although they need to seek the approval of their appointed Overseer before making drastic changes. Recently Renesia has been under diplomatic fire from RIGID agents activities across Alutra from several nations.

Before 1150
Renes was a flourishing city under [NATION]'s rule, its main strength was the location of the city that helps it facilitate trade between [NATION] and Ecoraland. There were three prominent families that govern and influence Renes political and economic situation; Tyriol, Ragner and Altmark.

Renes is belived to be built by [PEOPLE] and estimated to have been around since 100s. Renes was conquered and exchanged hands by various nations throughout the ages, although the Tyriol and Ragner families always held power in the city with Altmark rising in prominence in the 800s. In the end it was under [NATION] that they flourished which lasted between 897 to 1148 before Renes gained its independence.

Renes was an important trade city that connected Ecoraland and eastern Alutra by land. However, the relationship between Ecoralanders and [NATION] reached a breaking point in the mid-1100s prompting an invasion by the ruler of [NATION] on Ecoraland taking away most of the countries resources and armies to guarantee a decisive victory on Ecoraland. Most of [NATION] nobles supported the invasion although a small part of the northern [NATION] did not support it, including Renes. As such, the ruler garrisoned these cities with a small army to prevent rebellions from flaring up while the ruler is campaigning against Ecoraland.

The army of [NATION] got destroyed by Kees the Great killing the ruler and most of his supporters, this lead to a succession crisis in [NATION] plunging it to a civil war, many cities and nobles took this opportunity to secede and become independent including Renes.

The Republic 1150-1187
With [NATION] economy and military in shambles the three noble houses in Renes came to an agreement to combine their strengths and kick out the garrison army so they can declare their independence. Frederick Tyriol, after 2 years of preparation with his allies put their plan in motion, Kauss Ragner and Rosa Ragner would lead an attack from outside the city whilst Fredrick Tyriol will lead a small regiment of mercenaries from inside the city to open the gates and cause havoc and while Reinhart Altmark would pretend to be working with the garrison to prevent vital information from reaching them.

The Ragners managed to field 1100 soldiers, but only 200 of these soldiers were knights, and 70 were mercenaries from "Weisse Ritters", the rest were peasant levies that were gathered from different towns and villages. Although the Ragners knew they cannot take Renes in a siege since they do not have enough men, the garrison was 960 men strong they were all trained to some degree they have to depend on Fredrick Tyriol to open the gate for them to have a chance. And so, the siege of Renes started on 2nd March 1150.

Frederick Tyriol and his unit of 30 men managed to sneak into Renes on the 1st of March thanks to Reinhart Altmark. Frederick Tyriol and his unit remained hidden until the night of the 3rd of March where they got the signal to initiate their plan. Frederick managed to get 2 gates opened out of 5 in Renes. The smaller northern gate "Weisse Rose", and the western gate "Schwarzer Stahl". Each then sent a signal to the Ragner's army to move in.

But to everyone's surprise a fight is already happening in the city, lead by Reinhart Altmark, he managed to convince 150 men from the garrison to switch sides and riled up the people in Renes to fight for him, this has lead to massive confusion and lets the Ragner's army and Frederick's unit to kill and capture the rest of the garrison easily without incurring major losses, Rosa managed to kill more than 100 soldiers including the commander. By the dawn of the next day, Frederick and his allies were able to claim victory.[...]

The main news network in Renesia is the state-owned Renesian Chronicles (RC) which has some international audience, although there are other privately owned news networks such as Ragners News, Laagburg News Network (LNN), START Broadcasting Channel (SBC), Renes 24/7 and Volksnachrichten.

RC is entirely funded by the Renesian government but it operates independently.

Both RC and IRC launched in the same year (19XX) 6 months apart.

Ragners News is a news network is owned by the Ragner family and it is the second news network to lunch after RC. Ragners news used to focus mostly on its noble audience with little care for commoners with every step needing the approval of the head of the Ragner family, However, in recent years it became more liberal and pride itself on its quality control. Ragners News usually collaborates with RC with their shows and video footage.

LNN operates mostly in Laagburg and Loriace districts and focuses more on news related to local and international economies with economists from various backgrounds appearing almost daily to discuss various aspects of the economy.

SBC headquarters is in Fern district. The SBC has more of an international audience comparing to other news channels in Renesia, although the SBC struggles with maintaining a sizable local audience.
