 '''Great Caphiravian Kingdom of Pelaxia (1485 - 1618)''': Marked by the Union of Termia in 1485, Pelaxia's history saw the rise of the De Pardo dynasty through a marriage alliance between Reginaldo Castrillón and Jerónimo De Pardo. This union aimed to create a unified state governed by Albalitorian law, supported by the Montian Confederacy. The Jeronimian period fostered a blend of feudal and mercantile dynamics, with the Cortes Regium of 1516 shifting legislative power to the Corte General, initiating the "Golden Liberty" era characterized by aristocratic rule. The dynasty's reign from 1686 to 1802 was a prosperous era of cultural growth. Economically, Pelaxia relied on agricultural production through serfdom, diverging from Levantia's emerging capitalist trends. The 16th-century agricultural trade boom, coupled with peasant labor, fueled a profitable folwark economy. Mining and metallurgy thrived, contributing to commercial advancement. Exports via Albalitor, a prominent trade hub, maintained positive trade balances. Other towns like Agrila, Montia, and Fegona participated in transit and exports, with Albalitor's prominence driving its wealth and autonomy.
-'''Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth and the Pelaxian Empire (1618 - 1795):''' The establishment of the Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth in 1618 through the Union of Alahuela followed the Great Schism of 1615 and the subsequent dissolution of the Southern Provinces. Notably, Pelaxia emerged as the dominant partner in the union, with its ruler ascending as the crowned Emperor of the federative monarchy. The Commonwealth's distinctive political structure featured a system of checks on monarchical power, exemplified by the Concilii Regii legislature controlled by the nobility. This innovative approach foreshadowed principles of modern democracy and constitutional monarchy. Ethnically diverse and religiously tolerant, the Commonwealth safeguarded religious freedom through the Albalitor Confederation Act of 1673. While Catholicism held the status of the "dominant religion" according to the 1791 Constitution, freedom of religion was maintained. However, the Commonwealth faced partitions due to the First Partition in 1772 and the Second Partition in 1793, ultimately leading to its dissolution through the Third Partition in 1795.

+'''First Republic (1804-1814):''' The First Republic was a defining era in Pelaxian history, marked by the overthrow of the Girojón monarchy and the establishment of a triumvirate governance structure. This period emerged from a culmination of societal discontent and revolutionary fervor against perceived autocracy and economic disparities under the Girojón dynasty. The monarchy was toppled in a coordinated 1804 coup led by military figures and civic republican intellectuals. This marked a radical shift in Pelaxia's political landscape. The triumvirate that ensued featured key figures representing distinct ideologies. Collectively, the triumvirs enacted broad changes. They established a new constitution enshrining civil liberties and representative governance, while fostering an educated populace. Economic policies prioritized land reform, trade, and infrastructure. However, internal divisions and external pressures challenged the triumvirate's unity. By 1814, these factors, along with regional conflicts and economic hardships, led to the triumvirate's dissolution. This marked the end of the First Republic era and paved the way for the Girojón Restoration.
 '''Pelaxian Republic (1852 - 1876):''' The Pelaxian Republic emerged following King Luciano II's deposition in 1852 due to his absolutist tendencies and resistance to the republican-minded 1846 Law of Lords. Luciano II's refusal to appoint recommended lords led to a military uprising led by General Solorio Torres. The republic abolished noble titles, dissolved the House of Lords, and enabled local election of provincial governors, strengthening the republic's foundation.
