===Levantine Civil War=== | ===Levantine Civil War=== | ||
In the early 1930's agitation because the general economic depression felt across Levantia and the world was turning into political extremes and agitation in the Deric states where nationalists and republicans began to mobilize. In both an effort to support democratization, nationalism, and republicanism, and also a realpolitik maneuver to weaken what the Fiannan government felt were the domineering powers of southern Levantia, began to tacitly and eventually secretly support with materials and volunteers. This all came to a head with the outbreak of war in the Derics in 1934. Throughout this period, while reports were given of potential Caphiric interference leading to the Derian uprising, the Fiannan government dismissed it as an impossibility. As Urcea and Burgundie allied to put down the uprising, Fiannria promised to maintain its border integrity from the nationalists, but still provided support to the uprising. Alarms began to ring for the upper military staff both in Alshar when Kloistani and Corummese declared war on Burgundie and irregular military movements across the Fanerian border were warning signs of something more was occuring than an uprising. However, the government remained dismissive until in October 1934, when Faneria declared war in a surprise invasion of Fiannria. Supplies to the Derian nationalists ceased and diplomatic overtures were made to the Urceans and Burgundians as evidence became clear of the Caphrian influence in the outbreak of conflict in the Derics, Alshar, and the attack from Faneria. | In the early 1930's agitation because the general economic depression felt across Levantia and the world was turning into political extremes and agitation in the Deric states where nationalists and republicans began to mobilize.

Fiannria is a unique state within the continent of Levantia, coined the melting pot of peoples, Fiannria is a multi-ethnic state whose shared religion and history form the identity of the nation more than the actual languages and cultural practicies. This has led to a blend of cultural practices, language, and a history unlike anywhere else in Levantia. Often the people of Fiannria liken the nation to [[:en:Celtic_knot|Celtic knotwork]], each band interwoven in the knot, tied into it and inseperable, but its own unique band all the same. Religion has played a major role throughout the history of the nation and before its founding, being its first uniting element in the land of various kingdoms, tribes and peoples. Fiannria's preChristian heritage still plays a role and assimilated into the church teachings and practices along side new folk traditions that devloped and unified the various cultures that remain a part of the cultural tradition today. | |||
