The first Austro-Calderan government was an absolute monarchy under Joeseph Seuber's organization, but this was contested by various Gothic immigrants who disliked the monarchy of Yonderre and wanted to elect the leader in the new country. Seuber came up with a plan to draft a [[:en:Constitution|constitution]] that allows himself to rule as the only member of the Volkspartei, but people would "vote" for him, so he'd be the elected leader out of the best running candidates. | The first Austro-Calderan government was an absolute monarchy under Joeseph Seuber's organization, but this was contested by various Gothic immigrants who disliked the monarchy of Yonderre and wanted to elect the leader in the new country.

Austro-Caldera | Austro-Caldera was a very isolated nationalistic country, with mostly internal struggles with the natives. During the [[First Great War]], Austro-Caldera managed to narrowly evade involvement, while contributing manufactured weapons to Yonderian allies. However, during the [[Second Great War]], [[Daxia|Daxian]] forces invaded Crona, forcing Austro-Caldera to begin pouring funding into military and launch defensive engagements. This began the tradition of [[Calderan Armed Forces#Native Conscription|native conscription]], causing mild controversies within the Vokspartei, but eventually it was decided that Volins exist to be the guard of the Volkspartei. Austro-Caldera was never fully conquered during the Second Great War, thanks to Caldera's vast mountains and defensive structure. | ||

Due to foreign pressure from Canespa and the the threat of [[Bavogia]]'s annexation, the first amendment ever made to the Calderan constitution took place. This amendment enabled any political party to be elected for Prime Leader, and all parties would be then treated equal. | Due to foreign pressure from Canespa and the the threat of [[Bavogia]]'s annexation, the first amendment ever made to the Calderan constitution took place.

As an island, Caldera has an unusual tropical climate which contrasts with harsh winters elsewhere in Crona. Caldera also has a mountainous center surrounded by its caldera, with the Krein river flowing through much of the island. These unique conditions have led to the development of unique Calderan wildlife. | As an island, Caldera has an unusual tropical climate which contrasts with harsh winters elsewhere in Crona.
