 === Early Cartadanian statehood period ===
 {{See also|Ano Vermelho}}

+Between the de facto secession of 1626 and the de jure secession of September 1630, the four provinces embarked on a nation-building process aimed at establishing a distinct political framework separate from that of Caphiria. Verona, in particular, took deliberate steps to prevent the concentration of autocratic power within its government structures. It advocated for the establishment of a federal supreme court, effectively creating the world's first tripartite governmental system. Both the Veronese and Cartadanian constitutions were crafted with a focus on safeguarding individual rights, particularly in response to historical injustices faced by indigenous Varunã and other marginalized groups. Electoral systems within the state were designed to ensure representation and accountability, employing mechanisms such as two-round voting for executive and upper house positions, and single-member plurality systems for lower house and local elections.

+Despite these efforts to fortify the fledgling nation, underlying socio-economic disparities persisted, particularly in urban centers such as the capital and Alexandria. While legislative measures such as the Albalitor Confederation Act of 1673 promoted religious tolerance and ethnic diversity, they fell short in addressing economic inequality. Verona's commitment to eradicating discrimination based on social status or physical appearance did not address the root causes of stratification, allowing economic power to remain concentrated in the hands of affluent agrarian elites. The resultant disparities fueled discontent among marginalized communities, culminating in the Lusian Rebellion of 1696.

+The Lusian Rebellion, which began in 1696 and escalated into the Ano Vermelho ({{literal translation|Red Year}}) of 1697, was a manifestation of widespread dissatisfaction with prevailing socio-economic conditions. Characterized by violent upheaval and social unrest, the rebellion saw the targeted removal of corporate elites and widespread economic disruption. The ensuing chaos posed a significant challenge to the Veronese government, leading to a period of political instability and social upheaval. The Cartadanian military's intervention in 1698 marked a turning point in the conflict, restoring order but also precipitating a transformation in the nation's political landscape.
-In 1697, approximately 17 years after Verona had united with Santiago and Alexandria, things took a turn for the worst. The elite that still oversaw Verona and the other two states through monetary means began to overextend Verona's money and resources for their benefit, which ultimately saw the middle and lower class being neglected by the people they trusted to protect them. As a result, early Cartadania was thrust into a civil war between the wealthy elite and the growing middle and lower class who was becoming poorer by the day. The resulting massacre of many of Cartadania's elite and the forced deportation of three-quarters of Cartadania's upper class would lead to the creation of modern-day Galicia, Ceylonia, and Porlos. The then-governor of Verona was executed during this period as well, which saw Verona enter a period of disarray. The aftermath of this situation and the subsequent eleven year period that followed saw the recreation of Cartadania from a largely capitalist society into a heavily socially democratic one with capitalist aspects.
+The aftermath of the rebellion prompted a further reevaluation of governance structures and social norms. The displacement of upper-class citizens led to calls for a more inclusive and representative political system, resulting in the transition from unintended oligarchic rule to a more egalitarian democracy. Efforts were made to bridge socio-economic divides and address systemic inequalities, leading to a series of policy reforms aimed at promoting economic equity and social cohesion. These reforms included nationalization of key industries, judicial reforms, and the establishment of more inclusive legal frameworks.
-On 29 October 1709, the governments of the three states called for the creation of a new capital, originally to sit between the three states with land ceded from all three. It was during this period, however, that the west Urlazian provinces, then still part of Caphiria, began to experience the same neglect that Verona faced starting nearly 300 years before. Consequently, to keep the capital centralized and accessible by sea, the three states decided to place the capital between Alexandria and Verona along the Urlazian coast. During this period, Verona also renamed it's municipios to counties ({{lang-cd|comarcas}}), which would continue to divide into the counties of today. Verona's population continued to skyrocket and it was at this time that the State of Verona ({{lang-cd|Estado da Verona}}) was renamed to the Commonwealth of Verona ({{lang-cd|Comunidade de Verona}}). Verona's population, although high, was still quite low in comparison to Alexandria, which served as the capital of the Lusos region during the earlier Caphirian historical periods. This, of course, would change in the coming decades.
+By 1710, Verona and Cartadania had stabilized, ushering in a period of economic growth and social progress. The federal government, cognizant of the need for equitable development, pursued policies aimed at fostering the common good and ensuring the well-being of all citizens. the State of Verona's evolution into the Commonwealth of Verona reflected its commitment to promoting the collective welfare of its populace and fostering a more equitable society.
