Duvos

"The two largest nations in the known world are Duvos and Seesai. The Alliance has good relations with Seesai and somewhat strained relations with Duvos."

- Lucy teaching at Portia School

 is one of the two largest nations in the world (the other being Seesai). It is located northwest of Portia, bordering with the city of Lucien and the states of Ethea and Meidi.

Politics
Duvos is an aggressive empire that hopes to surpass Seesai geopolitically through their military interventions. Unlike Duvos, Seesai has "good to great" diplomatic relationships with most cities and states, placing them in an ideal geopolitical position. Duvos hopes to gain power and advantage over Seesai. They are currently deploying military in the state of Ethea, claiming rights to the Orzu Ruins and causing tensions to rise in Ethea. Military conflict is highly probable if relations continue to decline.

Duvos has a history of using the military to gain advantages. In the past, Duvos and the Alliance of Free Cities went to war over resources at the ruins of Lucien (which almost entirely destroyed Lucien itself). That war ended as a "draw", and there is currently a peace treaty in place.
