Revania Liberation War
In early 1864, Alberto invaded Revania, the final Arcadian colony in Suroikoia, in a surprise attack. Leading a force of 30 thousand soldiers, and accompanied by an Aparician army of 25 thousand soldiers and a Monteguerian Expeditionary Force of 5 thousand soldiers, the Arcadians were ill-equipped to defend due to the outbreak of war with Spereid in late 1863. After substantial successes over a year of fighting, the Kingdom of Ojamina was declared in El Criquile, with Alberto's son Javier was crowned as King. The original candidate, Juan Carlos, died in 1860 with only daughters. A peace treaty signed in 1874 with Arcadia saw them officially relinquish all claims to any historical Suroikoian holdings.
Liberal Reforms
After almost nine years of absolute rule as the Emperor of the country, Alberto felt disillusioned with the traditional system which vested all power in the hands of one; thus, on 9 August 1866, he assented to the enactment of a new political constitution, the first in the history of the Imperial State. It established a parliamentary system of government divided into two houses, the leader being whoever could secure the support of a majority of both houses; though in later years, the involvement of the Imperial Senate massively declined. Members of the House of Deputies were elected via universal male suffrage and partial female suffrage within an electoral college system. The Imperial Senate was primarily composed of clergy and nobility, although a quarter of the seats were set aside for representatives of those who held land; excluding individuals who were also clergy or nobles.
Although the Legislature received substantial responsibilities such as managing national finances, the Emperor retained substantial legislative, executive, and judicial powers, still considered the nation's Chief Judge ex officio.
