List of Duxes

No.	Portrait	Name	Took office	Left office	Faction		Notes
1		Giuseppe Giannone di Salino	1044 TT	1017 TT		Giannone di Salino	The first man to hold the position over a unified island, united over a six-way peace agreement following the Montesuvian Silver Rush. The Father of La Rossa.
2		Giovanni Giannone di Salino	1017 TT	1014 TT		Giannone di Salino	The son of Giuseppe Giannone. Taking the position of Dux after the death of his father, he would soon be ousted by the Families due to fears that he would establish a hereditary dynasty, almost leading to the union's collapse.
3		Constatino Miglio di Padeno	1014 TT	1012 TT		Miglio di Padeno	Elected as a replacement for Giannone, hoping to instill confidence into the union. Ousted at the next meeting between the Families over personal squabbles.
4		Giampaolo Alonso Morelio di Lorma	1012 TT	1008 TT		Morelio di Lorma	Thought to be a stable, compromise figure from an unintimidating Family, he was unable to prevent the slow unravelling of the union. In 1009 TT, the Barozzo Family of Tolia would begin imposing blockades against the Miglio Family, whom it was feuding with.
5		Domenico Buonestrotti di Buglio	1008 TT	982 TT		Buonestrotti di Buglio	A strong figure that rallied the remaining five Families against the Barozzos, imposing a devastating trade war that ultimately led Tolia to lay down its pressure. Although it is questionable whether his rule was seen as such at the time, he laid the foundations for the Dux's absolute authority of decision-making. Remained in power until his death.
6		Marcello Minestrici di Mineria	982 TT	976 TT		Minestrici di Mineria	Short-lived but divisive ruler, seen as attempting to centralize his rule by western Families. Died in a hunting accident, after getting shot with a bow by his son, possibly intentionally.
7		Claudio Minestrici di Padeno	976 TT	959 TT		Minestrici di Mineria	The son of Marcello Minestrici, only fifteen years of age when took the role. Taking a more relaxed hand approach than his father, it is believed that he was often courted by elder members of the other Families and often deferred to their judgement. Died from illness.
8		Lucarenio Giannone di Salino	959 TT	950 TT		Giannone di Salino	An absent minded ruler, leaving the city-provinces to exercise their own power.
9		Sergio Barozzo di Tolia	950 TT	934 TT		Barozzo di Tolia	A cunning older candidate, he would sway the Families into contributing to his projects, attracting finance from other capitals into constructing architecture in other cities, building a stronger unified vision of the island. While not yet ruling by decree, the Dux would become seen as an organizer. Poisoned at the 934 TT electoral meeting between the Families, for which his wife was executed by drowning, although modern historians place doubt on her guilt.
10		Iacopo Miglio di Padeno	934 TT	902 TT		Miglio di Padeno	Oversaw a quiet period of peace and stability. Built roads across the islands to ease trade deeper into land, as both the seas still remained highly dangerous and the mountains remained largely disconnected from the coast. Mutual investments between the city-provinces continued to bloom, taking over his predecessor.
11		Piero Morelio di Lorma	902 TT	899 TT		Morelio di Lorma	Tragically died after only three years of rule, after falling off the balcony of his mansion. According to legends, in an attempt to prove himself to detractors from the visiting Minestrici Family, he claimed to be so powerful he could fly on the wind, although these stories are likely dubious of value.
12		Giustiniano Buonestrotti di Buglio	899 TT	857 TT		Buonestrotti di Buglio	The longest reigning Dux in the history of the nation. Strong and popular ruler that brought the city-provinces closer together. A turning point in the recognition of the powers of the Dux, he would come to rule centrally and would establish the foundations for the Dux as a unilateral ruler. Enshrined crimes and punishments into a codex of written law, applicable to the entire island. Solidified the Families' sovereignty over the island by quashing rebellions started in previously conquered city-states, reaffirming their role as subservient to their regional capitals.
13		Urso Barozzo di Tolia	857 TT	843 TT		Barozzo di Tolia	Continued in the steps of his predecessor, albeit shifting the political center of the island to Tolia. Characterized by strong rule, he would make many of the previously voluntary contributions into mutual development mandatory, implementing a form of taxation onto the Familial governments whereby a proportional sum of silver had to be contributed each year, to be invested in roads, ships, or architecture. Although he was opposed by parts of the larger Families, most affected by such costs, he sought to establish a balance in power so as to ensure no Family becomes submissive to another.

22		Guandano Miglio di Padeno	747 TT	730 TT		Miglio di Padeno	Corrupt and openly so, assembled a coalition of Family members behind him that he empowered and rewarded at the expense of everyone else. Lived a life of extravagant wealth, with hundreds of servants at his disposal. Frequently characterized as evil and depraved, he was rumored to have been a paraphiliac of various sorts, though little backing exists as to confirm this.
23		Eugenio Miglio di Padeno	730 TT	714 TT		Miglio di Padeno	Weak leader who focused little on governing. Propped up by the Miglio Family, as he was the nephew of the previous Dux. Gained the support of other Families due to the belief that he would not interfere with their business. Possibly inbred, leading to rumors he was a result of an affair between Guandano Miglio and his sister. After the outbreak of a peasants' rebellion in Morna, in part created by the Dux's uncaring attitude, Niccolò Barozzo threatened to oust him by force if he were not elected to quash the revolt.
24		Niccolò Barozzo di Tolia	714 TT	701 TT		Barozzo di Tolia	Strong-minded and strict ruler, violently suffocated the rebellion and passed a number of repressive laws in attempt to bring order to the nation. Presided over the invention of the printing press, and ruled over its seizure. Died in a sword duel.
25		Marteno Giannone di Salino	701 TT	680 TT		Giannone di Salino	A quick replacement for Niccolò Barozzo after the deaths of both him and his main opponent died. Originally meant to be a calm, transitional figure, he proved amicable enough that he remained in power for a little over 20 years. Worked to displace some of the power that Barozzo took for himself back to the Families, and reversed a lot of his most unpopular decrees. Popular among the people due to his spending efforts following Barozzo's austere years. Resigned due to ailing health.
26			680 TT	662 TT		Minestrici di Mineria
26		Francesco Buonestrotti di Buglio	662 TT	642 TT		Buonestrotti di Buglio	As the printing press established itself and advanced, he would seek to archive the island's great sums of knowledge in written form, seeking to widely distribute its texts. Under pressure of the Families, the press' use remained limited, however, as literacy of the peasant class was thought to be particularly destabilizing. Introduced the paper argotto as a replacement for silver money, placing the creation of money in the hands of the state.

50		Vito Miglio di Padeno	307 TT	306 TT		Miglio di Padeno	Killed by an angry mob merely a year into his rule following the worsening of a disease-caused famine in Padeno that had begun in the reign of his predecessor. Unable to stop the masses from attacking him, guardsmen would eventually regain control of the situation and slaughter a significant portion of those responsible.
51		Benedetto Miglio di Padeno	306 TT	283 TT		Miglio di Padeno	Son of the previous Dux who had become significantly vengeful prior to taking office. Forcefully clamped down on various bursts of violence and used significant repression to prevent rioting as the disease and famine worsened. As it finally subsided, he would, however, begin attempting to get supply lines of food running once more, and would work to rebuild and reimagine the city of Padeno in his image.
52			283 TT	274 TT		Morelio di Lorma
53		Gabriele Buonestrotti di Buglio	274 TT	258 TT		Buonestrotti di Buglio	One of the final rulers of the pre-industrial era on the island, his reign was representative of the high levels of unrestrained absolutism the island had slowly crescendoed towards. Highly repressive and retroactively described as deeply paranoid and possibly mentally ill, he would vigilantly stand to silence any attempts deemed to be subversive to the throne, cracking down on writers, scientists and inventors, who have become far too disorganized to act during his reign. Despite his behavior, he was thought to be quite competent if brutal, and quited down the violence of the previous decades.
54		Raffaello Barozzo di Tolia	258 TT	246 TT		Barozzo di Tolia	Established the Rossan Moschettieri. Although the invention of the coal engine occurred during his rule in 248 TT, Barozzo was "thoroughly unimpressed" when he was presented the machine, according to sources from the time. In his later years, he began to spend great sums of money into massive projects that never ended up being completed, most of their foundations demolished decades after his rule. Elected out by the Families, after doubts in high judgement began to arise. Tried to coup his way into office, but the Rossan Moschettieri did not end up backing him.
55		Raniero Giannone di Salino	246 TT	234 TT		Giannone di Salino	Led the charge to replace Raffaello Barozzo from the throne. Imprisoning him for treason, mended relations with the rest of the Barozzo Family. Following its use as a novelty displayed on public fairs, the coal engine began seeing some use in powering contraptions, capturing the Dux's attention, who went on to subsidize innovation. Proclaimed the creation of the National University of Salino, bringing together multiple smaller academies, although it would not be fully completed until after his death. He would die of tuberculosis.
56		Rinaldo Giannone di Salino	234 TT	228 TT		Giannone di Salino	Took over after the death of his brother, completing his work. A few years younger than him, he knew he would not be in power for long, and worked to pass on the torch to someone else. Resigned in 228 TT, and died in 225 TT.
57		Giorgio Miglio di Padeno	228 TT	199 TT		Miglio di Padeno	A great reformer. Presided over the early years of industrial progress, after the invention of the coal engine during the rule of Raffaelo Barozzo. Supported implementing automation in manufactories, leading to violence from workers who have been displaced by machinery. Raised living standards through government action to stabilize the nation. Decreed five years of mandatory schooling for all children above the age of 8. Ran the first national census, which placed the total population of the island at 1,400,000 people. Established the Departments of Treasury, Commerce and Justice. Died in office, due to old age.
58		Ruggero Barozzo di Tolia	199 TT	191 TT		Barozzo di Tolia	An early proponent of industrialism and a close ally of Giorgio Miglio. Worked to vastly expand the power of the Six Families, holding that their grip over the island would increase exponentially with their industrial might. Died in office due to lung disease, likely cancer.
59		Alfio Morelio di Lorma	191 TT	188 TT		Morelio di Lorma	Intelligent but shortly lived ruler. Attempted to expand on schooling opportunities for rural children, seeing as the countryside gradually became abandoned in service of cities. Beginning to feel chronic weakness several months prior to his death, he would come to sense that death was approaching him, and would come to campaign for his brother to instead take the throne. Resigned in 188 TT.
60		Romero Morelio di Lorma	188 TT	179 TT		Morelio di Lorma	The brother of his immediate predecessor, continued down the path his sibling had set. Established the Department of Education. Expanded higher academic education, and worked towards establishing a University system across all six of the nation's city-provinces, being successful only in opening the University of Padeno in his lifetime. Relaxed publishing censors, attempting to give academics more freedom to explore novel ideas without fear of government repression.
61		Filippo Buonestrotti di Buglio	179 TT	166 TT		Buonestrotti di Buglio
62		Albo-Giovanni Miglio di Padeno	166 TT	156 TT		Miglio di Padeno
63		Renzo Minestrici di Mineria	156 TT	152 TT		Minestrici di Mineria
64		Vittorio Barozzo di Tolia	152 TT	121 TT		Barozzo di Tolia	A lavish leader that greatly sought to utilize industrial advancement for the purpose of the nation, using the national treasure for the purpose of establishing factories and the collection of materials. Greatly invested in the island's architecture. Ruling during a period of great urbanization and the growth of cities, he would lead the construction of new buildings to house the incoming population. An amateur artist, he would employ the nation's architects and lead the architectural direction of the times, boasting the eponymously named Vittorian style of construction. Died in office, choking to death during the traditional banquet held for the Dux's birthday.
65		Cornelio Minestrici di Mineria	121 TT	110 TT		Minestrici di Mineria	Elected during an increasingly unstable time that saw rising violence by radical actors protesting against the Dux. Pushing a traditionalist agenda, he attempted to create cohesion by instilling unity into the institution of Dux, as well as by clamping down on disruptive speech that protested his rule. Established the Department of Internal Affairs. Resigned following a heart attack.
66		Edmondo Giannone di Salino	110 TT	106 TT		Giannone di Salino	The reigning Dux during the Spirit Revolution, a revolt against the Dux that was crushed by the Moschettieri. Resigned in shame in the months after his second re-election.
67		Michelangelo Giannone di Salino	106 TT	92 TT		Giannone di Salino	Reformist leader and the nephew of Edmondo Giannone. Introduced suffrage for all men in ownership of property, making the union a republic, although electoral turnout remained low. Established the Advisory Council. Expanded rights to ownership across the population. Retired after seven terms.
68		Andrea Morelio di Lorma	92 TT	86 TT		Morelio di Lorma	A quiet figure that kept pursuing the work of his predecessor in rebuilding trust in the Duxal system, standing in opposition to the more conservative members of the Families.
69		Ottavio Buonestrotti di Buglio	86 TT	82 TT		Buonestrotti di Buglio	Elected among a field of candidates following sustained conservative backlash, he attempted to reverse the reformist changes that threatened the aristocratic order. His most radical proposals would be vetoed Advisory Council, marking some of the first exercises of its power of blocking Duxal decrees. Unsuccessfully tried to persuade the voterbase to give him an unopposed mandate. Voted out after two terms.
70		Edoardo Miglio di Padeno	82 TT	74 TT		Miglio di Padeno	Courting the increasingly engaged voterbase, he would lower a number of taxes and cease the persecution of many acts priorly defined as vices and immoral activities. Expanded the freedom to use government presses.
71		Alfonzo Barozzo di Tolia	74 TT	68 TT		Barozzo di Tolia	A patron of the newly-emerging class of industrial magnates, he loosened the government's hold over industry and allowed for the rapid expansion of factories and manufacturing across the island.
72		Fabiano Minestrici di Mineria	68 TT	64 TT		Minestrici di Mineria	In continuation of the actions of his predecessor, he increased the state backing of the industrial base owned by the new rich (as opposed to the traditional Families), intertwining state and industry. Accelerated urbanization. Died following an assassination by Ernesto Antoniotti, a strike leader and radical.
73		Umberto Miglio di Padeno	64 TT	58 TT		Miglio di Padeno	Presided over a short-lived, but worsening recession, born out of a banking crisis started by market instability.
74		Patrizio Morelio di Lorma	58 TT	44 TT		Morelio di Lorma	Commanded regulation over the Rossan market to allow for the continued and uninterrupted flow of the economy. Reorganized the Miglio Family bank into Banca Nazionale, a national bank to ensure stable and centrally-managed monetary policy.

80		Giulio Falcone	5 PC	15 PC		Denunzian	Populist firebrand, installed after the popular uprising of La Denunzia. The father of the modern welfare state. The only Dux to never be elected. Presided during the period of Second Calming. Resigned following public pressure.

82		Dario Silvano	29 PC	35 PC		Denunzian	A revolutionary leader during La Denunzia, served as an Advisor during the reigns of Dux Falcone and Ducissa DeGaio. Oversaw a period of economic stagnation, marked by high inflation.

Reduced and simplified government involvement in the market and deregulated industries. Waged a winning war against T'vaqi. Expansive construction in the Montesuvian mountain range invoked protests from the Montagneri, a nomadic pastoralist people living in the mountains. Resigned from office after a scandal following his killing of Vincenzo Barozzo.
89		Cuscorrado Papregoli	72 PC	79 PC		Modhes	Technocratic, if heavily religious, replacement for Marone, who resigned early. Increasingly aligned himself with the conservative bloc, whom he had worked with to support a strongly internationalist agenda. Expanded minority rights.
