Background
Since colonial Credonia, which began in the early 1700's, the nation had maintained a republic form of government. The Credonian people are peaceful and fiercely patriotic. They hold freedom and the ideals of democracy dear and would revolt if ever those ideals were taken from them.
Credonia has, over the years, had many great leaders. The greatest in the history of the nation, President Kaimoni Sutton, built Credonia's reputation as a major player in international affairs and estalished the country as one of the world's great nuclear superpowers and as a aggressive protector of democratic values. He also began the war on terror following a failed attempt to assasinate him and a bombing in the capital city.
In addition to securign the nation, he invited many of Credonia's freinds and allies to a special sumit meeting in the the Capital to found the International Allied Defense Federation. This alliance, which is still in existence, helped pave the way for Credonia's greatness, as its power, political influence, and number of allies increased.
Following the assasination of President Sutton and his family at what was seen to be a friendly trip to visit Cuddlebugs, a once then, friend of Credonia, another president was quickly ushered into office. President Lauren .R. Smith. She was almost the same as Sutton, only weaker and less aggressive. She began a few wars involving deemed to be terrorists but always settled with ending it with a peace treaty. Under her administration, she did in fact gain more territory, as a war with the terrorist nation of Hamil broke out. The government quickly surrendered, and the nation was quickly ceeded into Credonian control, after changes were made to the independent government.
After only a couple months into her term as president, Alexander Nicolas Sutton, only remaining child of former President Sutton seized control of the Credonian government after attempting a military coup, in which the entire body of Congress was peacefully dismissed and President Smith kicked from office. He established himself as Dictator of Credonia, but later changed his title to Emperor of Credonia after acknowleding Credonia as an empire due to the number of territories it had under its control.
Eventually, the territory bought was made independent again, marking the downfall of the Credonian Empire. Recent events spured the further downfall when, at the time, Emperor Sutton's father former President Kaimoni Sutton was cloned by the Credonian military to ensure the security of the nation and to keep Emperor Sutton under control. The plan worked, and Credonia slowly inched towards becoming a democracy once again.
Weeks after the cloning of President K. Sutton, Emperor Alexander Sutton recalled the Credonian congress reinstituting the legislative branch of government and declared that the Credonian empire was no more. Credonia once again became a democracy, under the name of the United States of Credonia. To this day, now President, Alexander Sutton retains his same rights as he had as Emperor of the empire but has not excercized his authorityin a way that would once again usher in a new Credonian Empire.
