Whereas previous boons of conquest were individual tribes, the creation of a Kingdom of Patarija had shown to local leaders that an entire nation could be won, or simply claimed, through conquest. Because of this, many battles were essentially fought to the death, and the local area of the former royal family was in a course of constant contention. It had seemed that whoever held the former royal realms could declare themselves King at any time. During this 2-3 year period, some reports say that there were about a dozen self-declared Kings of Patarija, with some existing at the same time as one another. After years of exhaustive conflict, which ravaged and opened up the nation to a variety of foreign intrusions, some form an armistice was reportedly agreed upon in 188-187 BC. From here, a small confederation of tribes informally referred to as the Patrajan Republic of Peoples was formed out of mainly-northern and central areas of the nation, dead-bent on a seemingly-impossible goal of a reunion of the Patrajan people. Whether this Republic of Peoples was a confederation of pragmatic manipulation by a few important leaders, or a genuinely-idealistic national union, is unknown. However, most historians tentatively describe this as the first era of democracy within Patraja. | Whereas previous boons of conquest were individual tribes, the creation of a Kingdom of Patarija had shown to local leaders that an entire nation could be won, or simply claimed, through conquest.

From 188-187 BC to 180 BC, this Republic took up essentially all of the former-Patarijan lands belonging to the Kingdom. The most notable battle, often referred to as the turning point of Patrajans as a people, was ironically held against a massive and unknown group of western invaders, famous at the time for a wish to expand fully into the devastated Patrajan areas. | From 188-187 BC to 180 BC, this Republic took up essentially all of the former-Patarijan lands belonging to the Kingdom. The most notable battle, taking place in the west in 181 BC, often referred to as the turning point of Patrajans as a people, was ironically held against a massive and unknown group of western invaders, famous at the time for a wish to expand fully into the devastated Patrajan areas. The current identity of the invasion force is either unknown or conflicting. Despite an outnumbered force, the Republic of Peoples successfully defended itself, taking heavy casualties but effectively dissuading a secondary invasion attempt due to the fierceness of the defense. The western border in which this battle took place is often referred to as the Western Reaches of Antiquarian and Medieval Patraja, though that western border has since increased past those bounds. | ||
From 180 BC to 70 BC, Patraja existed as a slowly-unifying loose Republic, governed mainly by individual Konsals (an Old Patrajan term for Consul) which united various tribes under a single speakers banner. At most times in the Republic, there were a variety of Konsals competing for influence. During other, rarer times, particularly during conflict, there was a singular Konsal of all tribes, thought to be the national figurehead-leader of the time. Realistically, however, no national leadership ever rose forth until the Voting Measures of 145 BC. | |||
In 145 BC, perhaps to increase influence from populist figures, a Konsal names Untaerin demanded a direct-voting system for Konsal selections, and a more organized, formalized system of national leadership. Nearly all Patrajan locales agreed, and the Republic reformed to select about eight Konsals at one time. Each was selected to represent a selected number of tribes, and each served a simple tenure of one year. During emergency periods, a popular vote was often taken to empower the Konsalar gathering, often to allow them to elect one leader from amongst themselves - though this event was only thought to have taken place once during the Republic of Peoples' history. | |||
