Franziska Dorothy the Great (Illusian: Franziska der Große), born as Franziska Dorothy von Brandt (11 January 1884 – 6 September 1991), was an Illuverendian royalty who ruled the United Kingdom of Illusia and Neverendia from 1 January 1900 up until her death in 6 September 1991. Nicknamed the Gilded Princess (Illusian: Vergoldetprinzessin), her era was known as the first golden age of Illuverendian royal rule. Her regime's extensive major achievements were the modernisation of the Illuverendian military, widespread economic reforms, and the extensive spread of Illuverendian culture across all corners of the country.
Franziska was the last of the members of the House of Brandt-Mottehausen, being an only child. At an early age, she assumed the royal peerage rank of Prinzessin (princess), but lapsed on 1 January 1900 as her parents interfered with the crisis that underwent when her the preceding queen, Victoria VIII, had passed away. Bearing the genes of the Victorian rulers, she rose to power at a young age of 15 on 1 January 1900, being the youngest Illuverendian ruler, and rejecting regency. As a youth, she appealed quickly to her subjects of the same age range, and boldly challenged the older Illuverendian aristocrats in the first half of the Franziskanic era. She heavily championed and implemented the Jünglingebildung program throughout her rule. Franziska extensively overhauled the Illuverendian armed forces, which had reached development stagnation, into one of Anea's powerful military nations. Throughout the 1910s to the 1920s, she also extensively issued economic reforms across the country, which saw an extensive aftereffect in the Illuverendian economy.
Franziska was also a prominent military figure. During the Illuverendian-Vapian War in the 1930s, the Fascist Vapian forces invaded and captured Enigmastadt which made her flee to nearby Osterplatte (and redesignating White Plains as the country's capital briefly), but owing to the reforms of the Royal Illuverendian Armed Forces at that period, the Illuverendians kept them within the city's borders, repelling any further westward assault into the Illusian region. Her navy also defeated a Vapian fleet in the Naval Battle of Enigmastadt. The Illuverendian victory propelled her popularity and secured the country's position as a regional power.
A staunch follower of autocratic rule, Franziska opposed democracy and republicanism, but was against opposition of civil rights. She despised and banned the formation of any political parties, but allowed a degree of political freedom through promotion of criticism against her regime, so long as it followed standards and were not within the grounds of lèse-majesté. Combined with the Jünglingebildung, records by Illuverendian historians stated that the Franziskanic regime had a high ratio of fulfillments by the people, extensively cementing her reputation on getting things done with efficiency.
Her rule from 1900 to 1991 shuffled from mundane into a progressive period, then briefly into war, and reshuffled back to progressiveness. The longest-reigning Illuverendian monarch at 91 years, she died on 6 September 1991 at the age of 107, making her the eldest Illuverendian monarch to ever live. Dying childless, however, her death prompted the rise of the Autrichean dynasty and the beginning of the Ekelepoche. Despite of this, Franziska's legacy was extensive, and remains rampant among present-day Illuverendians. Her way of ruling has been extensively cited as the inspiration of her spiritual successor, Alyssa of Illuverendia, and pundits have remarked that the Alyssanian era has close parallels to the Franziskanic era.
