Quetzenkel was invaded by [[Varshan]] as part of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], but King Telucti's reforms and support of other [[NSTA]] members lead to a largely successful defense of the country especially due to the Varshani prioritization of the [[Invasion of Cetsencalia]]. [[Urcea]]'s [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] joined the Quetzeni Royal Defense Force in repelling the Varshani invasion during the [[Quetzenkel front]], and subsequently used the country as a main avenue of invasion in the lead up to the [[Fall of Anzo]]. In March [[2024]], the eastern half of former [[Cetsencalia]] was returned to Quetzenkel by the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]] under Urcean pressure and in exchange for recognition of Veltorine gains in [[Varshan]]. Quetzenkel was also awarded additional territories from Varshan at the conclusion of the war in the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Treaty of Electorsbourg]], both because some lands were predominantly Quetzen-speaking but also to create an additional defensive buffer against future Varshani aggression. | Quetzenkel was invaded by [[Varshan]] as part of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], but King Telucti's reforms and support of other [[NSTA]] members lead to a largely successful defense of the country especially due to the Varshani prioritization of the [[Invasion of Cetsencalia]].

The end of the war saw significant economic investment flow into the country, as foreign investors saw the victorious Quetzenkel as a safe and reliable investment. In [[2016]], the GDP PC had sat at $4,001, one of the poorest places in the world; by [[2030]], this had grown to $16,189, representing a nearly 11% annual GDP growth. By [[2026]], as the economy was growing and the military crisis had passed, Telucti began to step back and allow the elected leaders of the country to operate within the established constitutional framework. | The end of the war saw significant economic investment flow into the country, as foreign investors saw the victorious Quetzenkel as a safe and reliable investment.

By [[2026]], as the economy was growing and the military crisis had passed, Telucti began to step back and allow the elected leaders of the country to operate within the established constitutional framework. As such, he proclaimed an end to the state of emergency that had existed since the implementation of the Constitution on 3 March [[2026]]. The state of emergency had empowered the King with significant executive authority, and the end of that state signalled the beginning of constitutional governance and a return of power to the Chancellor and legislature. | ||
The Kingdom's territorial expansion between [[2016]] and [[2024]], combined with significant economic progress, had the practical effect of improving the legitimacy and popularity of Telucti's regime. Beyond a core group of supporters, the majority of the Quetzen public believed Telucti to be a "well meaning Occidental puppet" in opinion polling conducted in July [[2020]] and overwhelmingly said the country was on the "wrong track". In July [[2032]] meanwhile, the King's approval rating sat at 72% and two-thirds of Quetzens responded that the country was "on the right track", with 79% responding that the country was in a "better" or "much better" position than it was two decades previously. | The Kingdom's territorial expansion between [[2016]] and [[2024]], combined with significant economic progress, had the practical effect of improving the legitimacy and popularity of Telucti's regime.
