When the provinces of La Charente, Lusia, Meridia, Roma, Viridis united to become the Cartic Federation after the Magna Discordia, a large selling point for many people to relocate to the Lusia region was its tolerance and this is one of the biggest reasons why the area is so heavily populated today. Even outside of the LGBT community, the states of the area have been some of the most open to different walks of life, from poor, to rich, to disabled and so on. It has been noted that southern Alexandria and Santiago as a whole were especially accepting. Leading up to the Lusos Rebellion, the country did at a few points set aside its view points to minority communities and focus efforts on trying to become more stable, which inevitably failed and saw the country slip into disarray, and the period of years between 1693 and 1701 were some of the most volatile for the LGBT Community in Cartadania. | When the provinces of La Charente, Lusia, Meridia, Roma, Viridis united to become the Cartic Federation after the Magna Discordia, a large selling point for many people to relocate to the Lusia region was its tolerance and this is one of the biggest reasons why the area is so heavily populated today.

The Luson Rebellion kicked off in 1698 and marked a major paradigm shift in Cartadania as an aggressive transfer of power was underway. But even leading up this moment, the rights of the community were challenged. | The Luson Rebellion kicked off in 1698 and marked a major paradigm shift in Cartadania as an aggressive transfer of power was underway.

In 1693, the first nullification of rights came into play in the São Andreas State Legislature. São Andreas, at the time, was controlled by a conservative protestant minority who saw the way of Christianity as the only true way, a sentiment that saw it aligned more in context to Levantia. Thus, it criminalized homosexual acts of any kind and decreed death for sodomy and was punished by civil authorities. It fell under the jurisdiction of the State Militia, which only served to cause more harm than anything. | In 1693, the first nullification of rights came into play in the São Andreas State Legislature.

The lack of a true, strong central government also prevented uniformity within the states. This was a turning point in population as well, as many fled religious persecution to more tolerant states, again contributing to the upheaval in population. | ||
Among the unique states is São Ricardo. Unlike the others, São Ricardo was never a truly integrated province. Known as the Fortuna Isles for a large part of its recorded history, its native inhabitants, descendants of the Adonerii, were very tolerant and had a way of thinking similar to some indigenous cultures of Crona. In fact, their belief system embodied a third gender for much of its history and again, bisexuality was commonplace. Because only Fortuna citizens could vote and make laws, and with the Fortuna Isles having been a jus sanguinis jurisdiction up until statehood, no efforts to nullify or change these laws was ever made. It is the only metropole state in Cartadania to have this history (Porta Bianca is not considered metropole). | Among the unique states is São Ricardo.

At the breakout of the Ano | At the breakout of the Ano Vermelho in 1697, the LGBT community's prevalence in Lusia served as an asset to middle- and lower-class individuals who were rebelling. In fact, some of the largest proponents of the rebellion were [[Michele Astal-Ribeiro]] and [[João Caravalis]], a lesbian woman and gay man from [[Calaine]] and [[Lynnhaven]], respectively, that pushed hard to displace the chokehold the upper class held. In a short period of about four months, known as the rainbow rebellion, they also helped storm the Deseret, Galiza, Loumara, and São Andreas state legislatures, dragging out the religious leaders and those involved in passing down execution orders to the minority. | ||
They have been so pivotal to their cause and the overarching protection of all of Cartadania's mistreated citizens to a point where, after the country was again rebalanced in 1701 leading up to its second constitution, they were celebrated. Michele even went on to become a politician in Alexandria and was the first woman to serve as mayor of [[Calaine]] in 1734. She is often credited with helping carve out the inclusive laws of not only Calaine, but Alexandria and Cartadania as a whole as well. | They have been so pivotal to their cause and the overarching protection of all of Cartadania's mistreated citizens to a point where, after the country was again rebalanced in 1701 leading up to its second constitution, they were celebrated.
