OOC: hey everyone...I'm Baaack! I know I had been inactive for awhile but here is a brief history to kinda "tie in" my inactivity.
IC: History:
After about 3 years, Rein Wilhelms rejoined the Socialist Labor Party. Then one night, the limo Wilhelms was in blew up from a car bomb. The limo went up in flames not far from government square in Belrosko. This came at a terrible time, as the former Latislav Federation was going to make Wilhelms President, as head of state, and the Premier as head of government. This, coupled along with Anti-Clerical violence in West Latislavia ( a socialist/communist stronghold), a new sense of nationalism spread and Gen. Otto Krchak was elected the Premier of Latislavia and rose to immense power and popularity. He blamed the nation's problems on the Communists and secretly approved the removal of Communist Party members. Then he carried out an ethnic cleansing of the Muslim population in the south when a sepertist movement started in opposition to Krchak's authoritarianism. Soon, Krchak was named President for life and began his reign as the leader of a Fascist Military Junta, known as the Nationalist Party. The Junta ruled with an Iron fist, persecuted non-Christians (especially non-Protestants) and began expanding eastward. Krchak ruled for 6 years, until instability with members of his own military occured and he was deposed. Soon, a military oligarchy occured and rule of law was carried out to an extreme.
Fighting Back:
Finally, a new militant group, the Latislav Liberation Union (LLU) began a campaign to depose the Fascist Junta. The group was surprisingly composed of Republicans and Monarchists, two groups who had so long been opposed to each other. A civil war began that lasted a year, and ended in LLU victory. The oligarchs moved south east to set up the new Latislavik Fascist Republik. On their way there, they were ambushed by the citizens and all of the Junta members were killed.
A New Latislavia
Since the Monarchists and Republicans united, they realized that they could work together. Following an agreement, the both formed a government together, creating the new United Empire of Latislavia. This time though, it was a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. They both agreed this would be best. So in short, the Imperial family was reinstated and went back to a new palace, while new elections for the Prime Minister occured. Peace has continued for 10 years, with Emperor Otto I as Head of State and Reinhardt Wilhelms (the son of Rein Wilhelms) as Prime Minister.
OOC: again, good to see you all again :):D
