Lucrecia stayed neutral throughout the [[First Great War|First]] and [[Second Great War|Second]] great wars. This was mostly to maximise profits during both conflicts by keeping trade open between the two factions, though some have argued that Lucrecia may have favoured Caphiria more when it came to trade, giving the Imperium some of the more generous trade deals during this time. During the later years of the interwar era, Lucrecia came under the rule of the [[National Fascist Party]], inspired by the form of [[Caphiric Fascism]] that was formulated by [[Galdo Bertocca]]. During the PNF years, Lucrecian nationalism veered heavily towards a highly nationalistic form of [[Emeritanism]], which originated in the 19th Century as a moralising mission in support of converting the Isurians of Lucrecia into Emeritans. This new form of Emeritanism doubled down on forcibly converting Isurians into Emeritans, with many Isurian intellectuals fleeing the country out of fear of being taken away by the secret police. With the end of the Second Great War resulting in a loss for Caphiria, fascism in Lucrecia quickly became perceived as being a sham by much of the populace. As the regime continued well into the mid-to-late 1940s, more and more people throughout Lucrecia began to demand a return to the democratic system, often resorting to acts of {{wp|civil disobedience}}. | Lucrecia stayed neutral throughout the [[First Great War|First]] and [[Second Great War|Second]] great wars.

In a last-ditch attempt to assert the regime's authority after multiple embarrassments, the Consuls opted to grant the reigning [[Maria-Adelaida, Grand Duchess in Lucrecia|Grand Duchess Maria-Adelaida]] the role of dictator. During the [[Marian dictatorship of 1947]], the last time a dictatorship was granted, the Grand Duchess used her temporary dictatorial powers to dismantle the fascist regime over the span of twelve months, replacing PNF members in the government with members of the moderate {{wp|christian democratic}} [[Anti-Revolutionary Party]], and even putting down an attempted fascist coup supported by her first cousin [[Prince | In a last-ditch attempt to assert the regime's authority after multiple embarrassments, the Consuls opted to grant the reigning [[Maria-Adelaida, Grand Duchess in Lucrecia|Grand Duchess Maria-Adelaida]] the role of dictator.

By the end of 1948, Lucrecia's fascist regime was so thoroughly dismantled by the Grand Duchess that even the laws passed during the regime were forcibly repealed, and the rampant and explicit persecution of the Isurian populace was put to an abrupt end. | ||
