Etrusovenia was founded in 1900, when Republicans stormed the administrative block of the Nation. In those days it was under control of a dominant Empire, who wanted to opress the population, with strong anti-Etrusovenian views. However, the Republicans threw out the already crumbling Empire, and created the Democratic Republic of Etrusovenia. The Liberals, were the leaders of that revolution, and after they had established an official government, they formed themselves into a party to win elections. However, due to the majority of the Nation being highly Conservative, a opposition was likely to form, and hence called itself the Conservative party of Etrusovenia. The Conservatives believed in high economic freedom, however they viewed tradition should come first over freedom of choice. The Liberals were soon voted from Parliament, and the Conservatives won most of the elections, with the Liberals coming back in the 1976, and 1988 elections.

However, with the election of Roger Donalds as Prime Minister, the country took on a much more traditional monarchist stance with Donalds wanting the country to become a monarchy. With his almost 100% majority in Parliament, he had the country turned into a Monarchy, which eventually proposed that he assume that role.
