The '''Soltenish Federation''' (Soltenish: ''Federazione Soltenitana''), officially named the '''Federation of Soltenish Republics''' (''Federazione delle Repubbliche Soltenitiche''), was the government of [[Soltenia (Anteria)|Soltenia]] from 1894 to 1914, during which it was a federal republic for the first time in history; hence it is also referred to, and unofficially proclaimed itself, as the '''Soltenish Republic''' (''Repubblica Soltenitana'').
The '''First Inglaterran Confederacy''' (Inglaterran: ''Earste Inglatereesk Konfederaasje''), officially named the '''Confederacy of Inglaterra''', was the government of Inglaterra from its independence in 1899 to the [[Kompar Coup]] of 1935.
 
Following the reorganization of the [[Soltenish Confederacy]] (1756-1894), the frequently exploited interior republics successfully extracted concessions from the politically dominant coastal republics. Awareness of imminent famine if imports from the interior ceased, the Confederacy willingly dissolved itself and instituted a new federation instead.


In its initial years, grave problems beset the Federation, such as economic woes and dissatisfaction with the new government, including political murders and several secession attempts from nationalists of constituent republics; internationally, it suffered a decline in power and reduced diplomatic standing, as the once formidable Confederate Navy became poorly maintained and the economic clout the state had once had was reduced. By 1904, the economy had stabilized and with it the political system, and the Federation enjoyed relative prosperity for the next eight years; this period, sometimes known as the Golden Years, was characterised by significant cultural flourishing, social progress, and gradual improvement in standards of living. Under the Pensioner Act of 1910, Soltenia moved toward becoming one of the first states to implement a robust pension system, and trade agreements had returned some diplomatic power to the Federation. Nevertheless, especially on the political left, there remained strong and widespread resentment against the former aristocracy and those who had supported it.
Following the independence of Inglaterra from [[Greater Niagara]] in 1899, the country was organized under a decentralized confederacy with a democratically elected government. This decentralized nature was designed to grant concessions to lingual minorities and to appease Frigan speakers in a country previously dominated by Inglaterran speakers.


The increasing importance of laborers, miners, and farmers in relation to the wealthy merchant class severely impacted Soltenia's democracy; subsequent social and political unrest led to the election of socialist Aurelio Mattadori in 1906. Mattadori, while firmly in opposition to the merchant class, was seen as much more moderate and was able to push several key reforms to quell the situation. His death on 28 February 1911 left his party leaderless and led to the collapse of the moderate factions controlling the Socialist Party. On 30 January 1912, the Socialist Party appointed Ottavio Volpe, a fireeater, as its presidential candidate; Volpe's far-left faction held outsized influence in the post-Mattadori era. Maximo Cesare, as Speaker of the Assembly and Mattadori's confidant, was to serve as the éminence grise who would keep Volpe under control while takin advantage of his populist campaigning to win; these intentions badly underestimated Volpe's political abilities. After being inaugurated in July 1912, the Assembly Bombing Decree had used the perceived state of emergency to effectively grant the new President broad power to act outside Assembly control. Volpe promptly used these powers to  suspend the constitution and dissolve the Assembly, which brought about the swift collapse of democracy at the federal and republic level, and the creation of a one-party communist state under his control.
In its initial years, grave problems beset the Confederacy, such as economic woes and dissatisfaction with the new government, including political murders and several secession attempts from nationalists of minority groups; internationally, it suffered a lack in power and reduced diplomatic standing, as the formidable Niagaran Navy no longer protected the country and weakened its standing worldwide. Additionally, countries like [[Alanna]] refused to deal with the Confederacy in fear that their own colonial possession may one day rebel as well. By 1910, the economy had stabilized and with it the political system, and the Confederacy enjoyed relative prosperity for the next three decades; this period, sometimes known as the Golden Years, was characterised by significant cultural flourishing, social progress, and gradual improvement in standards of living. Under the Pensioner Act of 1910, Inglaterra moved toward becoming one of the first states to implement a robust pension system, and trade agreements had returned some diplomatic power to the Confederacy. Nevertheless, especially on the political left, there remained strong and widespread resentment against the former colonial aristocracy which still dominated politics and those who had supported it.


Volpe's "Parsos" faction would govern under the pretense that the emergency powers were entirely constitutional and only temporary until 1924, where the country would be rechristened as the Union of Socialist Soltenish Republics. However, the period from 1914-1924 is generally considered as part of the "socialist era" of Soltenish history.
Despite the democratic nature of the Confederacy, the politics of the day were dominated by the urban cities in the far east and far west of the country. This political system, known as [[Potato Bread Politics]], effectively meant that the presidency was handed from the two center parties, the [[Confederal Party of Inglaterra|Confederalists]] and the [[Social Republican Party of Inglaterra|Social Republican Party]], both of which were supported by the aristocracy. Many landowners and employers would encourage their workers to vote for certain candidates in races or lose their jobs and homes, effectively meaning the power of the system lay with the upper classes. After the [[First Great War]] ended, the subsequent social and political unrest led to the rise in the [[Communist Party of Inglaterra]] or KMI, also known as the Kompars.  In [[1935 Inglaterran Election|1935]], the Communist candidate, former soldier and journalist [[Karl Hoeven]], narrowly lost to former general [[Adolphus Hiet]], by less than 1% of the total vote. This led to Hoeven marching on Aachtigen with a contingent of troops and seizing the government by force. Hiet would be publicly executed after being captured trying to defend the palace himself. Hoeven would crack down on political oppositon and brought about a swift collapse of democratic government. By 1939, the country would be firmly under his control.

The First Inglaterran Confederacy (Inglaterran: Earste Inglatereesk Konfederaasje), officially named the Confederacy of Inglaterra, was the government of Inglaterra from its independence in 1899 to the Kompar Coup of 1935.

Following the independence of Inglaterra from Greater Niagara in 1899, the country was organized under a decentralized confederacy with a democratically elected government. This decentralized nature was designed to grant concessions to lingual minorities and to appease Frigan speakers in a country previously dominated by Inglaterran speakers.

In its initial years, grave problems beset the Confederacy, such as economic woes and dissatisfaction with the new government, including political murders and several secession attempts from nationalists of minority groups; internationally, it suffered a lack in power and reduced diplomatic standing, as the formidable Niagaran Navy no longer protected the country and weakened its standing worldwide. Additionally, countries like Alanna refused to deal with the Confederacy in fear that their own colonial possession may one day rebel as well. By 1910, the economy had stabilized and with it the political system, and the Confederacy enjoyed relative prosperity for the next three decades; this period, sometimes known as the Golden Years, was characterised by significant cultural flourishing, social progress, and gradual improvement in standards of living. Under the Pensioner Act of 1910, Inglaterra moved toward becoming one of the first states to implement a robust pension system, and trade agreements had returned some diplomatic power to the Confederacy. Nevertheless, especially on the political left, there remained strong and widespread resentment against the former colonial aristocracy which still dominated politics and those who had supported it.

Despite the democratic nature of the Confederacy, the politics of the day were dominated by the urban cities in the far east and far west of the country. This political system, known as Potato Bread Politics, effectively meant that the presidency was handed from the two center parties, the Confederalists and the Social Republican Party, both of which were supported by the aristocracy. Many landowners and employers would encourage their workers to vote for certain candidates in races or lose their jobs and homes, effectively meaning the power of the system lay with the upper classes. After the First Great War ended, the subsequent social and political unrest led to the rise in the Communist Party of Inglaterra or KMI, also known as the Kompars. In 1935, the Communist candidate, former soldier and journalist Karl Hoeven, narrowly lost to former general Adolphus Hiet, by less than 1% of the total vote. This led to Hoeven marching on Aachtigen with a contingent of troops and seizing the government by force. Hiet would be publicly executed after being captured trying to defend the palace himself. Hoeven would crack down on political oppositon and brought about a swift collapse of democratic government. By 1939, the country would be firmly under his control.
