Guerrero's words struck a chord with many of the colonists and, most especially after [[Almadaria]] became an independent republic in 1846., they began seeing themselves not as Pelaxians or Mestizos, but as Delepasians, a distinct national identity based on their multicultural heritage and intermarriage with the indigenous Vallosi and the [[Latinic people|Latins]] who live on [[Vallos]] before the colonial era. As national sentiment grew, so did the idea that the Viceroyalty should become a proper country. Before the end of [[Pelaxia]]'s monarchy in 1852, this meant turning Pelaxia into a dual monarchy known as the [[Pelaxio-Delepasian Union]]. An attempt at the dual monarchy idea was made in 1852 when the [[Delepasian Kingdom]] was established as a pro-Girojón government-in-exile. This marked the first attmept at unifying Delepasia. The kingdom collapsed within three months, fracturing into several Delepasian polities, with the area surrounding [[Lake Remenau]] falling under Almadarian rule while [[Kingdom of Rios Gemelos|Rios Gemelos]] managed to repel the Almadarian attempt at conquest. | Guerrero's words struck a chord with many of the colonists and, most especially after [[Almadaria]] became an independent republic in 1846., they began seeing themselves not as Pelaxians or Mestizos, but as Delepasians, a distinct national identity based on their multicultural heritage and intermarriage with the indigenous Vallosi and the [[Latinic people|Latins]] who live on [[Vallos]] before the colonial era.

One of these new Delepasian polities was the [[Rosarian Republic|First Rosarian Republic]], which was proclaimed as a republic in 1853 after a short-lived attempt at establishing a [[Kingdom of Rosaria|monarchy]] the year prior under the rule of a cadet branch of the House of Girojón, only for King Luciano II, the last king of [[Pelaxia]], | One of these new Delepasian polities was the [[Rosarian Republic|First Rosarian Republic]], which was proclaimed as a republic in 1853 after a short-lived attempt at establishing a [[Kingdom of Rosaria|monarchy]] the year prior under the rule of a cadet branch of the House of Girojón, only for King Luciano II, the last king of [[Pelaxia]], to forbid any member of the former royal house from ever ruling over a Delepasian polity, he himself having come to hate the [[Delepasians]] thanks to the highly turbulent Delepasian Kingdom and their perceived inability to govern properly. This new republic quickly fell into a decades-long struggle to sustain the fragile parliamentary democracy under liberal republicanism from 1853 until 1919. During this period of chaos, Rosaria went through 176 presidents between the years 1876 and 1919, and 512 prime ministers in that same time period through assassinations, being forced out of power by the legislature, or just dying from profound stress. There were many cases where politicians would simply retire early to avoid being designated as president of prime minister out of fear that they could wind up dead or with a permanently ruined political career. | ||
The 14 July 1919 ''coup d'état'' or, during the period of ''Estado Social'', the National Revolution ([[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: ''Revolución Nacional''), was a military action that put an end to the chaotic First Rosarian Republic and initiated the ''Dictadura Militar'' (Military Dictatorship) which in 1921 transitioned into the ''[[Dictadura Perfecta]]'' (Perfect Dictatorship). | The 14 July 1919 ''coup d'état'' or, during the period of ''Estado Social'', the National Revolution ([[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: ''Revolución Nacional''), was a military action that put an end to the chaotic First Rosarian Republic and initiated the ''Dictadura Militar'' (Military Dictatorship) which in 1921 transitioned into the ''[[Dictadura Perfecta]]'' (Perfect Dictatorship). In order to fix the more than a century's worth of economic turmoil and collapse, the regime invited noted university professor and economist [[Fernando Pascual]] to serve as the minister of finance. Pascual was subsequently made prime minister in 1935 after finally giving the Rosarian state its first budget surplus in many years, and in 1938 he renamed it as the ''Estado Social'' (Social State), defining Rosaria as a corporative, semi-stratocratic, single-party and pan-Vallosi country. | ||
With {{wp|fascism|fascist}} organisations | With {{wp|fascism|fascist}} organisations becoming popular and receiving wide supported across many countries (like [[Galdo Bertocca|Bertocca]]'s [[Caphiric Fascism]] and {{wp|Falangism}} found in neighbouring [[Kingdom of Bahia|Bahia]]) as an {{wp|anti-communism|antagonist}} of {{wp|communism|communist}} ideologies, prime minister Pascual developed the ''Estado Social'', which can be described as a right-leaning, {{wp|corporatism|corporatist}}, and theo-nationalistic government. The basis of his new regime was a platform of stability, in direct contrast to the unstable environment of the [[Rosarian Republic|First Rosarian Republic]], and of the preservation of traditional values, which stood in stark contrast to fascism and falangism, which posited themselves as alternative revolutionary ideologies to socialism. | ||
According to some Rumahokian scholars like [[Jaime Valentin]] and Luis Estevez, | According to some Rumahokian scholars like [[Jaime Valentin]] and Luis Estevez, Pascual's early reforms and policies had allowed the whole nation, and other Delepasian polities in general that had adopted similar regimes inspired by the ideology of the ''Estado Social'', to change through the permitting of political and financial stability which in turn heralded the beginnings of a new {{wp|social order}} and {{wp|economic growth}} that were seen as foreign mere decades ago such as through the unstable and chaotic years of the First Rosarian Republic. This was perceived as an impressive and major breakthrough to many Delepasians. By that point, Pascual's popularity was at its zenith, and his seemingly miraculous transformation of Rosaria from a anarchic state to a stable and orderly regime became known as ''La lección de Pascual'' – "Pascual's Lesson". Pascual's programme was opposed to {{wp|communism}}, {{wp|socialism}}, and {{wp|liberalism}}. It was pro-[[Catholic Church|Catholic]], {{wp|conservatism|conservative}}, {{wp|nationalism|nationalistic}}, and [[Delepasian exceptionalism|exceptionalistic]]. Its policy envisaged the perpetuation of the [[Delepasians|Delepasian]] people being the most "civilised" and thus was the supposed source of civility to all of [[Vallos]] in general, financially autonomous and politically-aligned with the [[Levantia|Levantines]] in opposition to the seeming threat of [[Caphiria]], and a {{wp|civilising mission|source of civilisation and stability to all the nations in Vallos}}. | ||
To support these policies, Pascual eventually adopted the ideals of [[Delepasian exceptionalism]] by asserting that, since the Delepasians were the first "civilised" peoples in Vallos since the 15th Century, losing its position as the torch-bearer of civilisation in Vallos would dismember the Delepasian identity and end Delepasian independence and self-sufficiency. | To support these policies, Pascual eventually adopted the ideals of [[Delepasian exceptionalism]] by asserting that, since the Delepasians were the first "civilised" peoples in Vallos since the 15th Century, losing its position as the torch-bearer of civilisation in Vallos would dismember the Delepasian identity and end Delepasian independence and self-sufficiency. | ||
