In 1891, the Fiannan Socialist Party candidate was elected President, but the party did not have a majority in the Tyn, forcing the President to select a Fiann Party Chancellor. This led to a hung government and moderate, diluted, and compromised policies. In the following decades, other third parties won the Presidency, leading to instability in the political system. This period saw the rise of various controversial policies, such as Socialism, Populism, Nationalism, Georgism, Distributism, and even Monarchism. | In 1891, the Fiannan Socialist Party candidate was elected President, but the party did not have a majority in the Tyn, forcing the President to select a Fiann Party Chancellor.

The early 1930s saw economic depression and political extremism in the Deric states, leading to the mobilization of nationalists and republicans. In an effort to support these movements and weaken southern Levantia, the Fiannan government began to secretly provide materials and volunteers to the cause. This support eventually led to the outbreak of war in the Derics in 1934. While reports suggested Caphiric involvement, the Fiannan government dismissed them. However, when Alshari states declared war on Burgundie and Faneria declared war on Fiannria, it became clear that there was more at play than just an uprising. The Fiannan government stopped supporting the Derian nationalists and made diplomatic overtures to Urcea and Burgundie in response to the wider conflict. | The early 1930s saw economic depression and political extremism in the Deric states, leading to the mobilization of nationalists and republicans.

While legally speaking, the Fiannan | While legally speaking, the Fiannan Commonwealth does not grant special privileges or legal advantages as an expression of favoritism of Catholicism within the Commonwealth. This does not mean it is widely present in the social and and cultural fabric, widespread Catholic institutions such as Catholic schools and hospitals along with cultural traditions such as Christmas, Easter, and Shrovetide make it widely present in everyday life, and also leads to a very involved Catholic church and those who promote Catholic social teaching within the political process. | ||
Like Catholicism, all religions are given religious freedom to practice their religion and participate in public life within the nation given it provides no threat to the safety of the nation and its citizens. Among the minority religions include the Levantine Protestants, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, however among them, only Levantine Protestantism holds a number within the double digits. There is also a small population of irreligious that exists within Fiannria as well, but despite modernity, remains small. | |||

Meanwhile higher levels of education such as masters, doctorates, medical school, law school etc still possess tuition, but federal grants, scholarships, and loans along with those provided by the schools in question make education affordable and has assisted in allowing the rapid education and reeducation of Fiannans to respond to the economic demands in the job market. | |||
