Adassia-Lussaria

Adassia-Lussaria, officially the Monarchy of Adassia-Lussaria and also of the Cantals, Dandals and Usopryots (Adassian: Ésctat d'Adàssia-Lussària y'ouin don Cantalis, Dandalis yi Ussopriotis; Lussarian: Sepa ta Hadáßja-Sjenuviya on heß tas Dandals, Cantals on Ußopriots) is a country, more specifically a dual monarchy, west of Artopa. It is bathed by the Sea of ​​Avedora and the Sea of ​​Cjenuvia to the north. The country has two capitals: Klenton, capital of Adassia and seat of the royal palace and senate, and Alamar, capital of Lussaria. Its largest city is Andersalt.

It is a federation composed of two kingdoms: the Kingdom of Adassia and the Kingdom of Lussaria, which were united in 1823 after the War of Restoration (1817-1823). Previously, there were two independent states, the Republic of Lussaria and the Kingdom of Adassia. After the Lussarian Revolution in 1773, absolutism was overthrown in that country, but in 1810 the regime became radicalized in the hand of Aón De Marc Sjapp, a radical liberal, supported by the common population. Fearful of the expansion of anti-monarchist ideals in his country, King Julián III of Adassia invaded Lussaria to restore the monarchy. After the conflict ended, the two countries formed a constitutional union.

Lussarian Revolution (1773)
Since 1415, the so-called Senuvian Tribes had been unified by the 'Sep' of Bataria, Omun the Great, who started the absolutist regime in the lands of the Kingdom of Lussaria. In the 18th century, however, Enlightenment ideals began to spread in the country, through figures such as Danvinče Gox, a thinker who defended a Republican regime of government. His ideas took shape after the Great Famine of the Century, which worsened the already precarious conditions of the peasantry and left the urban population very dissatisfied. On the one hand, the peasants wanted an end to serfdom and heavy royal taxes, and the bourgeois wanted political participation.

In 1771, peasants driven out by famine built a village in the region of Vjerns, which was almost self-sufficient, and was led by the messianic figure of Hullip Móga, who was called occultists by the government authorities. The village of Vjerns, called Tedassi, was a form of communal collectivity that rivaled royal power. Therefore, government forces were sent to undo the village, in the so-called War of Tedassi, in 1773. At the end of the conflict, which lasted four months, most of the population of the village was killed, and the survivors were later executed. The community became a symbol of popular resistance to royal oppression, and its crushing was the trigger for the Lussarian Revolution.

The Revolution began in Andersalt, the largest city in the country, which was taken over by the people who established the 'Tadassa ta Andersalt' (translated as Republic of Andersalt). The rebellion soon spread throughout the country, and in the capital, it was the general Téoh Mon Da Vác, Baron de Sott, who delivered the final blow that resulted in the abdication of King Moses VIII. Mon Da Vác took over the country, which was renamed the Republic of Lussaria (Tadassa ta Sjenuvia, in the local language). The beginning of the Bourgeois Republic (1773-1810). The Bourgeois Republic was a dictatorship at its inception, as Mon Dá Vác ruled with full powers until 1798. In his government, he revoked serfdom, carried out agrarian reform and guaranteed economic freedom to the bourgeoisie. He also created a public education system aimed at combating illiteracy among the working class. His government sought to please all sectors of society, and for that reason it suffered little resistance. During his government there was an industrial boom, with the textile industry growing mainly in Andersalt, Alamar and Sussaria.

In 1798, however, Mon Da Vác dies and is replaced by his son, Obéh Mon Da Vác, who stays for just three months before being ousted by a coup led by the upper bourgeoisie. The new government instituted a Constituent Assembly, approving the 1801 constitution, which guaranteed freedom of the press and freedom of expression. However, the government favored the bourgeoisie, and in this way made it difficult for the poor to access politics, since it instituted censitary suffrage. The new government also failed to respond to the demands of the growing working class, which started to strike and destroy machines as a form of protest in order to obtain better working conditions.

The country had two presidents, Claud Manuel (1802-1808) and Andrej Babenot (1808-1810), members of the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, respectively. These two parties were the ones that dominated the country's politics. Conservatives advocated centralism and were skeptical of press freedom. Liberals, in turn, were federalists and defended the freedom of the press in force. Both parties, however, represented the interests of the upper bourgeoisie and the landlords. That's why the expression "Nothing is more like a conservative than a liberal in power", a phrase said by Molé Clebs, editor of a newspaper critical of the elitist political regime, in 1809.

Due to the poor working conditions in the factories, the population of the big cities began to organize more and more big strikes, which reached their peak in 1810. In the capital Alamar, Aón De Marc Sjapp, a labor leader, organized a 'March for the Rights of Everyone', but that was unsuccessful as police forces suppressed the protest, resulting in deaths and injuries. A new march was organized weeks later, this time with rural workers. The movement became radicalized, and the so-called 'Battalions of Aón' were formed, which were groups of armed workers who invaded small towns to 'liberate' them, that is, to make the local population aware of the need for mobilization to achieve political and labor rights.

People's Republic (1810-1823)
The 'Battalions of Aón' had great strength, to the point that they managed to take half of the capital in 1810, which resulted in the resignation of President Babenot. Vice President Ueniun Hox took over, setting up the so-called 'Cabinet of Dialogue', which put the labor opposition to participate in the government. However, this measure was not enough, as government critics called for a new Constituent Assembly. That wish was granted, and the People's Republic began, and gets its name because the People's Party members achieved an overwhelming majority in the General Assembly, and Aón De Marc Sjapp was elected president with 43.6% of the vote (which now includes all the male adult population). Sjapp, however, used authoritarian methods, eventually banning the Conservative Party in 1815, accusing it of including monarchists. Royalist nuclei were also attacked, and members of the former nobility were persecuted, with many fleeing to Adassia. Marc Sjapp also instituted a strongly anti-clerical government, exercising control over the Peteran Church in the country. He created the Unified Church of Liberation, which he used as an instrument of government propaganda. Many priests were persecuted and killed in the process, and the religious came to represent the newest front in opposition to the government of Marc Sjapp.

Unification Wars (1817-1826)
As many fled to Adassia, the monarchy in that country became increasingly aware of the possible dangers of revolution in Lussaria. King Julián III of Adassia was persuaded to declare war on the new Lussaria regime in 1817 to prevent radical liberal ideas from spreading to the country and other parts of the continent. Upon arriving in Lussaria, Adassia's troops were supported by church members, the former nobility and the upper bourgeoisie, and after six years of intense fighting, Marc Sjapp was captured in 1823 and publicly hanged. There was an expectation that the House of Honorius, the former royal family of Lussaria, would return to the throne, but King Julián III surprised by annexing Lussaria, creating the United Kingdoms of Adassia and Lussaria (later called the Monarchy of Adassia-Lussaria). The nobility and the bourgeois, supported by part of the poorest population, organized two different armies to fight Adassia: the Republican Army and the Army of Honorius (the latter very small, being crushed before the end of the war). The Three Years War began, which ended in 1826 with the victory of Adassia. The deadliest battle of the conflict was the Siege of Andersalt, which killed over 1/3 of the city's population.

Within the new country, the Lussarians had no autonomy, as Julián III was an absolutist monarch. This regime, therefore, was incompatible with the bourgeois ideals of Lussaria. But it was only in 1839 that a conflict began, being the country's first civil war, called the Lussarian Spring. Lussarian Spring began with peaceful demonstrations, then evolved into civil disobedience and finally an armed revolt. Opponents created the 'Army of the Second Republic', with the aim of restoring Lussaria's independence. There was a Second Siege of Andersalt, which was also quite deadly, and the rebels were defeated by the central government. The country, however, came out very debilitated, with instability increasing and criticism of the monarchy reaching the Kingdom of Adassia. Julián III, already quite old, decided to abdicate in favor of his grandson Vácsius I, who, in order to ensure the territorial integrity of the dual monarchy, created the Government of Lussaria Act in 1841.

Parliamentary period (1843)
The Government of Lussaria Act established the right of the Kingdom of Lussaria to have its own parliament. General elections were then held, and the young parliament began to write a constitution. Two years later, King Vácsius I grants the National Constitution of 1843, which also establishes a parliament for the kingdom of Adassia, in addition to creating the Senate, the single federal chamber. At first, there was census suffrage, but voting was more accessible than in the Republican era. It gradually became more accessible, until the extinction of censitary suffrage. Each kingdom had two dominant parties, which had the names Liberal and Conservative. Each kingdom now has a minister-president, a post equivalent to a prime minister.

During the parliamentary regime, there was a certain prosperity of the kingdoms. Several kilometers of railways were built, the Second Industrial Revolution reached the country, resulting in great modernization and accumulation of capital, and illiteracy fell with the help of educational projects (especially in Lussaria). In 1883, important amendments were proposed in the Senate that broadened political participation, instituting the end of censitary suffrage, the right of ethnic minorities to elect their representatives, and the creation of autonomous communities in Dandalia, Cantalia and Ussoprus. Even earlier, labor rights were expanded in both kingdoms, in a pragmatic way, with the aim of preventing the spread of socialist ideas. The 1884 elections resulted in a greater diversification of the parliaments, with the entry of parties more to the left, as well as center parties.
