Lavrada

Lavrada ([luh-VRAH-duh] or {archaic}[LAH-vruh-DAH]) was the capital city of the Province of Lavrasia and the provisional capital of the Grand Republic of Delvera. It was a continuous micronational capital from the formation of the Republic of Salania in July 2008 until April 2020, and is thus one of the most historic Delveran cities. Lavrada was formerly the home of seven Delveran citizens, including Jordan Brizendine and Casey Pemberton. It included the National Treasury, the National Archives, and the DAS Central Headquarters and primary armory. The Lavrada Bannerman was the local and national media outlet.

Etymology
Lavrada's name is derived from the Portuguese word lavrado, meaning "wrought." This references the forging of the city from empty countryside beginning in the 1990s.

Features
Lavrada was located in southwestern Lavrasia and was comprised of six structures, two of which were inhabited. The city was protected by the major DAS military installations Fort Constantine and Fort Independence to the south and southeast, as well as smaller positions to the north and west. It was additionally strengthened by earthworks facing the north.

Significance
Lavrada has hosted foreign nationals from the United States, Russia, China, and South Korea who have come for extended periods to spend time with the Brizendine family as well as observe and participate in holidays and DAS military exercises.
