History of Cartadania: Difference between revisions

External geopolitical forces and shifts in power dynamics among neighboring and proximal nations played a significant role in Cartadania's fate as a young nation. As tensions mounted, foreign entities sought to exploit the internal divisions within the Commonwealth. The 1772 partition, a result of intricate political maneuvers, saw the partial dismantling of the Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth and the reconfiguration of national borders for the first time since its formation, excluding annexations. The Commonwealth was further partitioned in 1793, greatly reducing its size and power, until 1795 when Alahuela and Albalitor officially split the union, ending an era and ushering in a new period of independence for Cartadania.

In January 1795, following the dissolution of the Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth, President Silvio Ramos directed the federal government to cease the circulation of the Peseta, the former currency of the Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth. On 18 March 1795, the National Congress authorized the Department of the Treasury to initiate the design and development of a new currency, named the [[Escudo]]. The [[Casa da Moeda]] in [[Calaine]] completed the process on 22 September 1795, with circulation commencing on 30 October of the same year, coinciding with the 165th year of Cartadania's existence.
