In the early part of the 19th century, most of the former Pelaxian Empire overseas disintegrated. A tenuous balance between liberal and conservative forces was struck in the establishment of a republic in Pelaxia; this period began in 1852 and ended in 1922. Then came the dictatorship of General Benedicto Álvaro Camargo (1922-1932). His government inaugurated a period ruled by a militarist party, the Restauración Nacional Party, up until 1957. From 1922 the country experienced rapid economic growth in the 1940s and early 1950s. With the death of Federico Pedro Olmos in November 1956 Pelaxia returned to the Federal Republic. With a fresh Constitution voted in 1958. | In the early part of the 19th century, most of the former Pelaxian Empire overseas disintegrated.

'''Antiquity (600 BC - 500 AD):''' The foundation of Pelaxia's history lies in Antiquity, with the emergence of pre-Caphirian Kindred coast dwellers engaging with Kosalis and developing early writing systems known as Paleopelaxian scripts. The Cognati, residing on the western Sarpedonian coast, displayed dual meanings in ancient texts - encompassing both valley inhabitants and specifically those along the western and southern shores. Cognatish language prevailed from the 7th to the 1st century BC, defining a stratified society with rulers, nobles, priests, artisans, and slaves. A senate of nobles convened, supported by a "fides" obligation system upheld by kings or chieftains. Vallosi influences like wine and olives were embraced, and metalwork thrived, yielding exceptional iron weaponry. The conquest era began around the 4th century BC with Caphirian General Ottiano's campaign, culminating in the annexation of Montia. Dividing valleys into Pelagia Orientis and Pelagia Occidentis, Cognati's later revolts were quelled. Caphiria further expanded by subduing Albalitoria and Cognatilitoria, concluding with the Litorian Wars' culmination in 16 BC. | |||
