This period was marked by constant social turmoil and a power struggle between left- and right-wing political forces, with the most prominent factions being the [[Delepasian Federacy]], an {{wp|authoritarian democracy|authoritarian democratic}} government filled with Estado Social reformists and Pascualist counterrevolutionaries led by [[Raul Quintero]] and headquartered in the conservative stronghold of [[San Joaquin, Homberia|San Joaquin]] in the state of [[Homberia]], the [[United Federative Councils of Vallos]], a revolutionary {{wp|Marxist}} workers' confederation led by popular far-left military commander [[Vito Borbon]] and headquartered in the forests of [[Inaua]], and the rump faction of the [[Junta for the Salvation of Civility]], presently headed by Emperor Maximilian himself and consisted of moderate socialists and liberal democrats who held a distrust for Quintero's faction and headquartered in [[Santa Maria]]. | ||
Through the first several months of the civil war period, Quintero's faction was able to win decisive victories in many battles against the two other rival factions; the split between the two socialist factions were able to weaken the revolutionaries enough for the more professional and well-organised conservative forces to prevail to the point that by early 1995, many nations began to extend diplomatic relations to Quintero's government. In an effort to form a united front against the seemingly-victorious conservatives, the Borbonist faction opted to join forces with the Junta, forming the [[Council of the National Revolution]] in August of 1995. With that, the tide of war turned so quickly that by December of 1995 Quintero and much of the leadership of the conservative faction had fled the country; the last pockets of the conservative faction would be defeated in January of 1996. | |||
The 1996 elections resulted in a {{wp|coalition government}} between the [[People's Democratic Party]] (PDP) and the [[Christian National Party]] (PNC) with [[Fernando Carvalho]], PDP's leader, becoming Prime Minister of the first | By July of 1995, the tension between these was so high, that international observers were predicting that a civil war was imminent. Forces connected to the far-left launched a further ''[[coup d'état]]'' on 3 December, but the Group of Nine, a moderate military faction led by Emperor Maximilian himself, immediately initiated a counter-coup. The main episode of this confrontation was the successful assault on the barracks of the far-left dominated [[Santa Maria Lancers Regiment]] by the moderate forces of the Commando Regiment, resulting in three soldiers {{wp|killed in action}}. | ||
The Council had emerged victorious, thus preventing the establishment of a conservative strato-democratic regime in Delepasia and ending the period of political instability in the country. The Council of the National Revolution governed Delepasia until just a couple months after the [[1996 Rumahokian legislative election|Rumahokian legislative election of 1996]]. During that time, the junta drafted a [[Constitution of Rumahoki|new constitution]], formally naming the new state the ''Most Serene Sovereignty of Rumahoki'', it established a {{wp|federalism|federal state}}, it abolished Catholicism as the state religion, it empowered the Emperor in recognition of his role in the civil war period, it established [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]], [[Classical Latin|Latin]], and [[Brenadine Tainean|Reform Tainean]] as the state's three official languages, established provisions committed to the realisation of the socialist revolution through a constitutional framework as well as through a designated {{wp|vanguard party}}, and it forbade any systems of racial segregation, thus putting a permanent end to the Navidadian System. | |||
The 1996 elections resulted in a {{wp|coalition government}} between the [[People's Democratic Party]] (PDP) and the [[Christian National Party]] (PNC) with [[Fernando Carvalho]], PDP's leader, becoming Prime Minister of the first civilian government since before the Velvet Revolution on 21 January 1997. In this capacity Carvalho had initiated the process of accession to the [[Vallosian Economic Association]] (VEA) by starting accession negotiations as early as February that same year. | |||
