Fiannria: Difference between revisions

Fiannria and Fiannan civilization is unique in both its ancient history and diverse, multiethnic background which makes it an outlier in common foundations of a modern state. The earliest civilization can be traced back to the widespread settlement of the early Gaelic Celt, Fhainic peoples. The region was soon a territory of the [[Adonerum|Adonerii]] empire of [[Great Levantia]] which called the region Gaul and Ultmar. However, the melding of modern Fiannan culture would not see its cornerstones until after the collapse of Great Levantia in the 5th century and the arrival of the Germanic tribes of Gothica from across the Vandarch. Fiannria was a major part of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] from its foundation, and its historical origin developed from the Empire. The [[Levantine Catholic Church]], the nation's multiethnicity, and the democratic tradition that predates the modern Culfran and Fiannan nation and its constituent parts were all major factors to the creation of the modern Fiannan state.

Fiannria foreign policy is focused on its position in Levantia and abroad, through cooperation with Urcea, maintaining stability in eastern Levantia, and also extending its own and the Levantine Union influence as the largest power in northern Levantia. It is also focused on its relationship in Alshar and Audonia where it possesses significant historical ties, modern political and economic relationship and is in political association with [[Soirwind]].  

Fiannria is a member of the [[League of Nations]], the [[Levantine Union]], the [[Levantine Union Defense Council]], the [[Vandarch Sea Trade Zone Organization]], the [[Council on Gaelic Peoples]], and the [[Kilikas-Boreal Cooperative Zone]]

==History==

Most of Fiannan history is referred to the region and peoples that make up Fiannria today. In the past, the region now known as Fiannria was called by many names, most prevalent being Gaullia and Culfra or the Culfras. The history of Fiannria as a unified state goes back to 1571 with the founding of the United Kingdom of the Culfras. However, history of Culfras and by extension Fiannria as a identifiable political entity goes back even further.

===Early History===

Evidence of the first humans in the region that would make up modern Fiannria go back to around 13000 BC in the Late Paleolithic period. The ending of the last great Ice age and into the Mesolithic saw various proto-Celts small hunter-gatherer-fisher bands travel through the Fiannan lowlands and into the highlands. Semi-permanent fishing settlements, early pottery, and large burial sites are shown to have been established during this time

===Collapse of the League and the Crisis at the Turn of the Century===

As the conflict ended in Fanerian victory while the armies of the League were largely decimated and demoralized, the League began facing crisis after crisis as marches in the streets by lower and middle class protesters sought anything and everything from government reform, revolution, to even as simple as bread. Protests took place across the states of the League and noble leaders called on their fellow League members to support suppressing their revolts but to no avail. With now even the very basic tenets agreed upon of the League being outrightly ignored in 1794 for the first time since the founding of the League, no members arrived at Bridhavn setting into stone the failure of the Confederation. What followed was 6 years of infighting. Either states against states or states against revolutionaries looking to overthrow the regimes that had lost Culfran lands and betrayed the League. The fighting eventually however cooled to where a new Congress of Birdhavn in 1799 was held, however, the makeup of this Congress was very different from the one decades before. Among nobles, aristocrats, and clergymen were also democratically elected leaders, or at the very least revolutionary leaders who claimed to want democratic reform among them. While the Congress began in 1799 there were many points that the Congress came to a near breaking point and points where it was a stagnant Congress however eventually a new government was made.

In 1801 a copy of a Charter was sent out and shared in every town square and every city of the Culfras, declaring the foundation of the Commonwealth of Fiannria. Enumerating rights and ideas of governance born from the Kilikas Enlightenment and Rights of Man within a new Republican government based on Democratic principles, consisting of the Lands of Culfras. The Commonwealth would hold its first Election the following year under this new government but for the time the Congress of Bridhavn would serve as the legislative body and in place of the first elected President, Marshal of the Commonwealth, a temporary executive until the first election was named. The Marshalship was given to Count Otto Chrichton. The peace was still an uneasy one as the Great Levantine Experiment began.

The first Fiannan National Election however did not play out as what idealists hoped. Quickly, factions developed across the first Tyn and the Cuilann elections quickly they devolved into a standoff of two groups Comhþháil Náisjúnta Fiannan the National Congress of Fiannria and Comhdalag Culfras, the Alliance of Culfras. The National Congress was aligned with a wide alliance of Republicans, Constitutionalists, Revolutionaries, and Radicals while the Alliance of Culfras was primarily made of traditionalists, monarchists and nobles, and clergy at the threat of Radicalism within the National Congress. What later evidence made clear is that both sides exploited this initial election and committed fraud in an effort to win. On the night of the election, both sides that claimed victory denounced the opposing side, and established their own separate All Tyn and elected President of the Commonwealth. A standoff for three months of 1802 broke out into war. A lament to the veterans of the last Kin War to watch their sons march out to fight their brothers of this new Commonwealth. Vicious fighting of militias and newly formed standing Commonwealth armies clashed. What made this a controversy was that previously Imperial armies would march forth and fight with the Culfrans, but atleast at this time, the Holy Levantine Empire did not recognize the Commonwealth. Over the next year and a half villages, towns, and cities were split in half and fought over. In mid-1804, secret talks began between moderate Republicans and moderates in the Alliance of Culfras to obtain peace, establish a national discussion, and right the wrongs both sides committed through the conflict. From mediatsation and reworking boundaries, along with harsh suppression of individuals and suspension of habeas corpus many wrongs were committed. When an agreement was made by this secret accord and joint coup occurred to put down the more radical leadership of both sides and met in Bridhavn to hold a peace settlement and prepare for a new election.
