In [[1283]], King [[Serossaccir Odobricci|Șerossaccir Odobricci]] took the city of [[Venceia]] following a long campaign against the [[Venceian Republic]]. Rather than destroy the city, Șerossaccir Odobricci induced the [[Senate of Caphiria|Senate]] to recognize him as ''Augustus'' and proclaim his formal adoption by the last recognized [[Imperator]] of the Second Imperium. Șerossaccir assumed the responsibilities of Imperator, moving his court to Venceia and adopting Caphiric, rather than Slavic, laws and customs for his court. The newly formed [[Caphiria#The_Third_Imperium|Third Imperium]] would nonetheless have significant political and cultural Slavic influence. Due to the conquests, most of the lands of what would become Volonia was integrated into the Third Imperium, beginning eight centuries of Caphiric rule over the region. Due to being the home region of the Odobriccis, the lands around Truřov would receive significant benefits and Imperial favoritism for the next two centuries. | In [[1283]], King [[Serossaccir Odobricci|Șerossaccir Odobricci]] took the city of [[Venceia]] following a long campaign against the [[Venceian Republic]].

The early centuries of the Third Imperium era saw the reemergence of Caphiria as a major power in Sarpedon. Under Serossaccir, the new Imperium entered a period of stability and growth, with many of its major conquests retaking regions that were lost during the civil war and subsequent Dark Period, an era of Slavic prominence in the high echelons of Caphiric society, and an era of scientific discoveries as well as cultural and economic prosperity as the Renaissance was in full swing during this time. Many Caphiro-Slavic dynasties would reach their political and economic zenith during this time as the new elites of the Imperium. | The early centuries of the Third Imperium era saw the reemergence of Caphiria as a major power in Sarpedon.

By 1635, the southern provinces were considered pacified such that a permanent occupation by the Imperial Legion was no longer necessary. While most violence ended, the Era of Retribution continued as Imperial magistrates imposed heavy obligations on the people of the provinces and violence was still employed in order to bring about adherence to the [[Caphiric Church]]. Economic disruptions continued through the 1640s, as prominent local Catholic nobles and landowners were systematically expelled and their land re-appropriated to Legionary generals. The [[Senate (Caphiria)|Imperial Senate]] passed many acts between 1629 and 1680 relating to suppression in the southern provinces. By the 1680s, all participants of the [[Ash War]] were long dead and the area was considered fully integrated back into the Imperium, ending both special legislation as well as the burdensome presence of additional magistrates. | By 1635, the southern provinces were considered pacified such that a permanent occupation by the Imperial Legion was no longer necessary.

The "Long Peace" was inaugurated in the 1680s as [[Caphiria]]'s focus shifted from adherence to the internal [[Great Schism of 1615]] to external military and economic dominance in [[Sarpedon]], and as such most retributive legislation against the southern provinces had expired or been repealed by 1700.

While [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] priests and liturgies continued to operate underground in the area, their existence was something of an open secret tolerated by authorities, though if caught Catholic adherents would be subject to significant penalties or even face execution. Following nearly a century of violence, however, the economic and agricultural output of the area began to rebound and soon exceeded 1600's economic output by the year 1715. | ||
The Long Peace continued through much of the | The Long Peace continued through much of the 1700s until notions of {{wp|Romantic nationalism}} began to develop among the people of the southern provinces, who began to view themselves as a distinct ethnic group separate from both the Caphiric elites, who by the end of the 18th Century had been purged of any and all Slavic influences in favor of a return to Caphiria's Latinic roots during the Imperium's transformation into the [[Caphiria#The_Fourth_Imperium|Fourth Imperium]], itself a consequence of Caphiria's loss in the [[Veltorine War of Independence]] in the year 1782, and were strict adherents of the Caphiric Church, as well as the neighboring Slavic peoples, who were nowhere near as latinized as the people in the Truřov Province (who, unlike most Slavic peoples in Sarpedon, had embraced a Romance language complete with a Latin-based alphabet). This was the beginnings of a distinct "Volonian" identity, born from opposition to the elites of Caphiria and the Caphiric Church. | ||
The rise of this new Volonian identity was marked by a period of tensions between the Truřov Province and the imperial government which lasted from the end of the 18th Century until eventually boiling over during the [[Second Great War]]. During the latter decades leading up to the war of national liberation, nascent Volonian nationalist movements received material support from sympathetic [[Delepasians|Delepasian]] polities in the nearby region of [[Vallos]]. During this time, support mostly consisted of recruiting and training Volonian nationalist guerillas and supplying them. The most notable of these sympathetic polities was [[Kingdom of Bahia|Bahia]], of which the nation's military intelligence unit, the National Bureau (ON), held particular interest in supporting Volonian independence. | |||

The War of National Liberation, better-known as the [[Volonian Revolt]], was a theater of the Second Great War that began in 1939 with the secession of the Truřov Province from Caphiria, formally establishing the Republic of Volonia. It was also around this time that Delepasian involvement in the cause of Volonian independence had reached its peak, with many Delepasian operatives getting highly involved in the area. One of the most prominent of these Delepasians was a then-amateur-anthropologist-turned-ON-operative by the name of [[G. C. Lorenzo]], better-known as Lorenzo of Volonia, who had already joined the rebels at the start of the Second Great War in 1934 and spent the half-decade leading up to the Revolt training and uniting the rebels, soon establishing the [[United Volonian Movement]] (MVU) on 20 July 1938. | |||
The MVU was at the time a {{wp|big-tent}} Volonian nationalist organization with members from all across the political spectrum from fervent {{wp|monarchism|monarchists}} on the {{wp|far-right politics|far-right}} to die-hard {{wp|communism|communists}} on the {{wp|far-left politics|far-left}} as well as members of more moderate ideologies in between. Lorenzo was the first leader of the MVU, having been chosen due to his status as a neutral figure. With the formation of the MVU in place, work soon began to covertly supply the movement. Through the ingenuity of Lorenzo's then-superior, Colonel Jorge Videla, this was accomplished through smuggling weapons, ammo, and other needed supplies inside of food delivery trucks which, so as to not arouse suspicion from Caphiric authorities, were hidden amongst canisters that genuinely contained food. It would take just over a year before the rebels have managed to gather enough supplies for the upcoming Revolt. | |||
Shortly after the Volonian Revolt began in 1939, the rebels were quickly able to [[Capture of Caradej|capture]] the city of [[Caradej]] within a few months. Throughout the revolt, the rebels were able to capture more and more of the Truřov Province from Caphiria, soon occupying the entirety of the province by the end of 1942. The Volonian Revolt proved to be an immense success, and the independence of the nascent Volonian nation was soon formally recognized by the international community in the [[Treaty of Kartika]] which came into effect in mid-1943, putting an end to just over one thousand years of Caphiric rule over Volonia. | |||

The nation's main third party, and one of the newest, is the [[Commonwealth Party (Volonia)|Commonwealth Party]] (PCV). Considered to be on the {{wp|center-left politics|center-left}} of the political spectrum, the Commonwealth Party views western [[Sarpedon]] as a single cultural and economic continuity, and thus seeks to eschew both [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] and [[Levantia|Levantine]] influences in favor of those of [[Cartadania]] and [[Pelaxia]] as well as seeking closer relations with other Romance nations in Sarpedon. The Commonwealth Party is a strong proponent of Volonia's entrance into [[UNESARP]], but also seeks to enhance Volonia's social safety net. The Commonwealth Party also aims to make the Cyrillic- and Latin-based Volonian alphabets co-official scripts of the Volonian language on an equal basis with a minor faction supporting the adoption of a {{wp|Romanian transitional alphabet|Cyrillic-Latin fusion alphabet}}. The constitution of the Commonwealth Party views [[Cartadania]] specifically as a model for Volonians to emulate. | The nation's main third party, and one of the newest, is the [[Commonwealth Party (Volonia)|Commonwealth Party]] (PCV).
