==History==

===Background===

The collapse of the Girojon monarchy of [[Kingdom of Pelaxia (1814)|Pelaxia]] in 1852 in favour of the {{wp|stratocracy|stratocratic}} [[Second Pelaxian Republic]] would see both the former aristocracy and the former royal family flee to the [[Viceroyalty of Los Rumas]] where they, with the support of the colonial aristocracy, declared the [[Delepasian Kingdom]], a royalist {{wp|government-in-exile}} that wished to establish the [[Pelaxio-Delepasian Union]], a proposed {{wp|real union}} under the Girojons between the newly-established kingdom and Pelaxia. Throughout the restoration period, from 1814 until 1852, the idea of a real union between the former Viceroyalty and Pelaxia had been proposed on both sides of [[Sarpedon]] and was seen as a way to preserve the loyalty of the Rumian peoples as well as solidifying their long-held autonomy and constitutional norms. However, the idea was never put into practice as the centralistic Pelaxian government saw it as more of a distraction to keep the colonial elite from opposing the gradual centralisation measures which were being put in place, but with the fall of the Pelaxian monarchy any wish to integrate the Viceroyalty into Pelaxia proper was considered a dead-end; letting the Viceroyalty become a practically independent state was seen as the more viable option.

The new royalist government in the newly-independent Delepasia had to respect the 16th Century [[Charter of San Lina]], which was a constitutional document for the Viceroyalty and the new kingdom which limited the monarch's power and necessitated the establishment of a legislature. This also saw the rise of three main, competing political factions within the new kingdom. Those were the [[Royalists (Delepasian Kingdom)|Royalists]], who supported the Girojon monarchy and the idea of a Pelaxio-Delepasian Union; they were not absolutists, but they still were in support of an assertive monarch as in a {{wp|constitutional monarchy|semi-constitutional monarchy}}, the [[National Constitutionalists (Delepasian Kingdom)|National Constitutionalists]], who were supportive of Kilikas Enlightenment ideals and wished to further limit royal power; they were also nationalists who wanted the kingdom to abandon the real union idea and simply become an independent monarchy, and the [[National Republicans (Delepasian Kingdom)|National Republicans]], who were more radical in their support of Kilikas Enlightenment ideals, and they wanted to abolish the monarch altogether in favour of an independent Delepasian republic.

The three groups were equally influential to the point that none of the three were any more powerful than the other two factions. This alone was not enough to result in constant instability, but the fact that all three factions were hostile to one another made it very clear that the new kingdom was going to have to struggle to remain united. Three months after the fall of the Pelaxian monarchy, the situation in Delepasia became so untenable that it looked like the nation was on the brink of {{wp|civil war}}, prompting [[Luciano II of Pelaxia|King Luciano II]] to abdicate the throne and flee the country, calling the [[Delepasians]] "ungovernable". The kingdom would dissolve itself shortly afterward, leading to the former provinces becoming quasi-independent states. Civil war was ultimately averted, but the instability of the former kingdom did not disappear due to the mounting tensions between rival factions simply being too high.
