This period was marked by constant social turmoil and a power struggle between left- and right-wing political forces. 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 Group of Nine emerged victorious, thus preventing the establishment of a socialist state in Delepasia and ending the period of political instability in the country. The [[Junta for the Salvation of Civility|Junta para la Salvación de la Civilidad]] governed Delepasia until 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 counter-coup, it established [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]], [[Classical Latin|Latin]], and [[Brenadine Tainean|Reform Tainean]] as the state's three official languages, and it forbade any systems of racial segregation, thus putting a permanent end to the Navidadian System. | The Group of Nine emerged victorious, thus preventing the establishment of a socialist state in Delepasia and ending the period of political instability in the country.

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 post-Delepasia government 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. | 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 post-Delepasia government on 21 January 1997.

Diplomatically, Rumahoki has pursued the thawing and eventual warming of relations with Caphiria as a means to further distance the nation from the Estado Social's warm relations with [[Urcea]], though relations with the Urcean protectorate of [[Arona]] have remained warm and cordial nonetheless. | Diplomatically, Rumahoki has pursued the thawing and eventual warming of relations with Caphiria as a means to further distance the nation from the Estado Social's warm relations with [[Urcea]], though relations with the Urcean protectorate of [[Arona]] have remained warm and cordial nonetheless. | ||
