End of the Monarchy: The Turbulent Decade
About three centuries after the formation of the first unitary state in the archipelago, following the murder of King Figlio III, the country descended in a permanent political crisis under the reign of Ristchär -Figlio's brother, as the late king was childless-, which following several revolts and a failed military insurrection, resulted in a eleven-year civil war.
During the time, the nation was de facto broken up in several states or political territories: Ristchär's supporters and other monarchist forces, who found their strongholds in the southern isles and the western provinces, the Federal Leaague -a coalition of nobles and regionalist politicians who demanded a more decentralized state- mostly in the north, and several republican and revolutionary forces.
In Avdàntes, the capital city, a revolutionary government took power, and elections to a Constituent Assembly were soon called. However, the new government failed to spread its authority to the provinces, and the new legislative body failed to have representatives through the country. At the same time, tension between the new parliament -which consistently failed to agree in a constitution, divided in numerous parliamentary factions- and the central government increased. The period was popularly known as the "Unborn Republic" as, although a republican administration controlled the central government, the monarchy was not legally abolished.
After four years of turmoil, the parliament was suspended with the assistance of military commander Chär Sülglatsch, who had been previously member of the parliament and minister in the first republican government in Avdàntes. Süglatsch was requested to lead a new military offensive to retake the eastern territories, and left the city, in which was known as the "Deep March".
Eleven months later, a new political crisis erupted in Avdàntes, as monarchist forces sieged the capital for six weeks. During that time, the government was forced to flee and a more radical revolutionary government took power. Two months later, Chär Süglatsch would return to the capital, breaking the siege, defeated the monarchist forces in the province, and received as a hero. However, only three weeks after his return, he deposed the revolutionary government and a Council of Avdàntes was established. Süglatsch was immediately appointed "Minister of War", with full powers on military affairs. This was later known as Martial Revolution.
The First Republic
The monarchy was finally abolished, and following the Grönda Accords, a new republican government was established and elections to a second Constituent Assembly were called. Süglatsch was requested a third offensive. Before leaving, he suggested to move the capital city to Martgea, as the coastal Avdàntes was considered too difficult to defend. This was accepted. The new republican government acted as a collective head of state, but two months later, Süglatsch was granted a de facto veto power on government policy.
The republican government, however, persecuted many of the revolutionary leaders from Avdàntes, and established a policy of alliances with local nobles, warlords, and former monarchist officers. The influence of the military increased under the new government. At the same time, under a new census, the right of suffrage was severely restricted before the election to the Constituent Assembly.
Following the death of King Ritschär, the monarchist forces suddenly found themselves in disarray. After the Battle of Anüra, they were almost expelled from the mainland. Süglatsch returned to Martgea, where he became the de facto head of state. He entrusted General Lafur Aquintà with a new offensive against the southwestern archipelago, where supporters of Ritschär's teenager son were gathered. Everyone expected Süglatsch to become soon the head of the government soon, which was rumoured to be officialized
However, during a visit to a nearby province, Süglatsch suddenly felt ill. He was immediately transfered to Martgea, but it was too late. He died only a few hours later. There were rumours that Süglatsch had been poisoned, but such rumours started to die out after his funeral, which was received by a large crowd. The government was enlarged, aimed to include governors from the recently annexed new provinces, and a "Constitutional Committee", aimed to review proposals for the new constitution was appointed, which often started to bypass the Constituent Assembly.
The Cumegnan Union
Following the so-called "War of Cotschenovà", in which government forces defeated the last provinces that had declared independence from Cumegna, General Lafur Aquintà returned to Martgea, where he was expected to join the national government. Probably fearing that the military officer would try to take over, the Constituent Assembly passed the final draft of the new constitution, barely two weeks after his arrival.
The new constitution was much moderate compared to the earlier republican governments. The constitution did, in fact, avoided the word "republic", renamind the country as "Cumegnan Union". Despite their alliances with local leaders, the constitution established an unitary state, and a bicameral parliament. The constitution established a "Emprümestrel" (meaning "first of all", sometimes mistranslated as "emperor") as head of state. The Emprümestrel is appointed by one of the chambers of the parliament and he serves for life (either until he retires or he dies). He was granted the power to appoint a Prime Minister, who heads the national government. The office of the Emprümestrel is often described as "Presidency", although there was a controversy if the Cumegnan Union was a republican form of government or a restoration toward a elective monarchy.
Hospen Sveltà, a government officer from a noble origin, was appointed as the first Emprümestrel. He appointed General Lafur Aquintà as Prime Minister. Two of the first decisions of the new government was to propose an agrarian reform and the restoration of the nobility titles, granting numerous ones to military officers, which was considered a sign of the mixed form of the new constitutional order. The new government also established a new calendar, known as the “Nova Vegliadetgna” (New Era) calendar, which restrospectively started since the day the constitution was promulgated.
After the death of Sveltá in Nova Vegliadetgna Eleven Year, Lafur Aquintà became the second Emprümestrel of the Cumegnan Union.
