| The word Tarper derives from the Latin Tarepere, which came into use after an emperor adopted it for the area that encompasses modern Tarper. The word Tarepere does not mean anything and was only a name the Emperor had come up with.

Justinata did not stick but has had a resurgence due to Government sponsorship of the arts. | | The word Tarper derives from the Latin Tarepere, which came into use after an emperor adopted it for the area that encompasses modern Tarper.

| | {{Main|History of Tarper}} |
| ===Prehistory=== | | ===Prehistory=== |
| Ancient Tarepere mythology refers to the people as "The stone that was thrown". This confused historians and anthropologists for decades since it was only the only reference that the ancient Tares used. The experts then came to a conclusion that this was the only myth the ancients used. Another conclusion is that the spread of Christianity came too early to the Tarperti lands and most just agreed upon the Christian creation legends.
| |
|
| |
|
| Recent research suggests that the Tares came from the East. On their lengthy migration, they deposited and influenced many peoples across modern Covenant. The Tares brought along their language; the Ancient Tarepere language is of Indo-European origin. The Ancient Tareperes were spread throughout modern Tarper and split into many different tribes. Though after the Creation of "The Great Continental Empire" or more recently known as "The Empire of Covenant" the Tarps were herded into a single area.
| | ===Covenant Empire & dark ages=== |
|
| |
|
| The Tares lived in small tribes and lived relatively simple lives. Although war was common, the tribes were very friendly to each other. The tribes partook in creating pottery and music. The earliest Tare composition is called "Market Song", a simple guitar song that was played in markets. Many statues exist from this time with the majority being about animals suggesting a largely agrarian lifestyle. Some industrious Tares settled down by a river and founded the city of Terra Uma or Terraum.
| | ===Platesan Empire=== |
| | |
| ===The Covenant Empire=== | |
| The Great Continental Empire or The Empire of Covenant had held a large majority of the the continent for 2000 years (712 BC-1300 AD). Not much is known about the Empire due to old texts having been destroyed by time and large amounts of human activity displacing historical relics. After the conquest of the Tares in 42 BC; the Tarps were invited as the new sons of the Empire and that they had been saved from their pagan and barbaric lives and so the Tares were soon assimilated into the Empire and became one with the Imperials.
| |
| | |
| The Tares, now Tarps, were valuable additions to the Empire. But some resented living within the Empire; this overall feeling attracted the Plamyadiens to woo the Tarps into rebellion. Though the Plamyadiens teased the Tarps they soon proved their skills by helping in the Plamyadien Sacking of Romurbs, the October Mutiny, and finally the Plamyadien First Conquest or Fall of Covenant. Afterward, Tarper, like the rest of the nations had encountered a brief dark age, but soon enough the Tarps, along with everyone else found their true paths. For the Tarps, it has been their organization and administration. Almost all of the old Imperial Cities were lost to time and barbarians but the biggest city and capital of Tarper, Terraum, still stands as a monument to the Empire, for it was the Imperials who had built it and raised it from the swamps.
| |
| | |
| ===Warring States===
| |
| During the "Dark Age", many Prominent Tarperti Leaders had promised a united Tarperti Realm but they were instead split into four main groups. The Terrain Kingdom of Otto, the Great Tarperti Province of Octavianus, Comicojord of Harold, and Le Plank Royaume of Cassius. These kingdoms Remained for 42 years but they were quickly replaced by useless and always bickering states. Meanwhile, in the east and west the New Kingdoms of Sanghelios and Plamyadia saw the horrid mess of the Fatherlands and soon acted upon it.
| |
| ===The TSE===
| |
| In 1342 the Sangheili and Plamyadiens signed the Treaty of the Linden Tree, this created the TSE or the Tarperti-Sangheili État. The État was a plan to control the Tarps and Comicans and bring unity to Covenant once again. Within a day of the treaty, Sanghelios and Plamyadia invaded the Comican and Tarperti lands. The [[Plamyadien Second Conquest]] lasted for a few months as the "Civilized Friendship" and "Comjitar" fought savagely. And on Christmas day, 1342 the TSE was finalized. This alliance and attempt at unity included Plamyadiens, Sangheili, Comicans, Tarps, and later in the union's lifespan the Skerieyvos, modern day Hellians, would be a part of this Empire.
| |
| | |
| Within a year of the conquest the first Emperor was elected and crowned, Imperator Justin I the Great of Plamyadia, in the TSE the King was elected and the Imperator met with representatives of all the counties and the electors within the Imperial Diet. The electors were never the Sangheili or Plamyadien; they were only ever made up of the Tarperti states, Comico, and the Skerieyvos. Regarding the Skerieyvos in 1453 the TSE decided to start conquering territories. Although modern Hellians hate or do not recognize their defeat by the TSE in the Battle of Cerberus Falls, it is true that this modern militaristic state was once a backwater bunch of tribes that were immediately annihilated by the more superior warriors of the TSE.
| |
| ====Astran War of Succession==== | | ====Astran War of Succession==== |
| The electorates barely changed but they did, except for the [[Kingdom of Astra|Electorate of Astra]]. Astra was a new power and the legitimate successor to the Terraum Kingdom. It had come to the attention of old Justin I after his visit to Terraum that this County could be worthwhile and thus he upgraded it to an Electorate. In 1400 the old House of Ottson had ended in Astra and current Emperor, Winoc II had decided to supplant his house and hopefully gain a personal union with them, Marc I of the House of Capet-Justin was crowned Elector of Astra. After 100 years of ruling, the Plamyadien Elector had left no heir, this started a crisis since it was imperial right for the current emperor to supplant his house to needy electorates, but Emperor Jamshed I of Sanghelios refused to do so. This reignited the Plamyadien claim, no one thought to challenge them, except for the monarch of Tapia, Rubén. Tapia was a small land in between Comico and Astra. This enraged the Plamyadiens so much it started one of the most bloody wars of the TSE, the Astran War of Succession. For 2 years the supporters of the House of Tapia: Sanghelios, Comico, and neighboring Tarperti lands, fought the supporters of the House of Dussère: Tarperti rivals of Astra, the Skerieyvos, and the Apostolians. Rubén came out successful and thus the House of Tapia ruled the Tarperti lands until 1914.
| | ====1848 Revolution==== |
| ====War of the Froistonian Agression====
| | ====Grand Nationalist Revolutions==== |
| The 1500's did not start out as well as they should have. The TSE was under attack for a new way of Christianity had formed outside of the Catholic walls of the TSE. In 1501 missionaries from the Moistan States had visited The TSE but failed to accomplish anything due to the ongoing war, but 1505 they came back only to be lynched by order of the Pope and Emperor. The three Moistan States declared this as unjustified and declared war immediately, the three Moistan states united into one and thus adopted the name Froiston. The war was not brief at all. The TSE had hoped for a quick war for morale was at its lowest because of the succession war. Instead the War of the Froistonian Aggression/Expulsion was 130 years long (1505-1635). This war is divided into the Invasion (1505-1551), Treaty of Tradijorn Cap (1551-1555), Onslaught (1555-1595), Treaty of the Hut (1595-1601), and Finally Expulsion (1601-1635). The Treaty of Whylsental brought an end to the war and thus the Froistonians were expelled to their homeland were they bred their ideology of Froistonish Conservatism.
| |
| ====Rennaisance and Plamyadian Revolution==== | |
| From 1650 to 1750 there was a renaissance in the TSE for old generations died in the war and they gave way to new thought and inventions. The TSE dabbled in colonialism during this time setting up charters for colonies in what are now La Madrepatria, Lawmouth, and Montagne du Soleil. One of those thoughts made during this period was nationalism, this would take a while to set in but it would spell the end of the TSE. From 1750 to 1789 the TSE settled and the money stopped flowing. Within a year Plamyadia had become increasingly bankrupt, the masses grew resentful and in 1793 revolution sparked. The current Emperor, Sanghelios, had expelled Plamyadia in 1795 after seeing that it couldn't control itself and thus it was a danger to the TSE, this decision only grew the hatred of the Plamyadien rebels. In 1804 the Plamyadiens had a new emperor and they wanted revenge. For 11 years the [[Plamyadien Third Conquest]] went on and soon the TSE had only the Plamyadien Emperor as the leader.
| |
| ====The 1848 Revolution====
| |
| 1820 to 1847 is seen as the rise of Tarperti Nationalism and also an overall rise in nationalism in the TSE. The Tarps saw themselves as slaves to the Plamyadiens and esteemed King Vasco X of Tapia proposed a revolution in the Diet of Terraum in 1840. Vasco gave the states of the TSE at least 10 years or when ready to start the rebellion. So the years passed and on the last second of 1847, they declared war. 1848 was highlighted as the massive forces stormed into Plamyadia, killed the Imperator, and set up a democratic government. The TSE ended centuries of elective monarchy now to become an democratic confederation. In 1848 the spirit of freedom was born in the TSE.
| |
| ====Democratic TSE==== | |
| During its period of democracy the TSE elected four Chancellors from three different parties. The largest and most popular being the [[Party of the Grand Revolution of Tarper]]
| |
|
| |
|
| In 1875 the [[New Imperial Era Party of Tarper]] had been created as a successor the the Right faction in the Terraum Diet. The party successfully achieved presidency and ran on a Conservative and anti-imperial platform. With plans of dissolving the Empire in just 15 years in 1885, it was apparent the politics would kill the old Union. Instead a council of anti-democratic Kings, Manuel of Astra included, had convinced the people to rebel in the hopes of creating a United Tarper. In 1885 the people did just but would endure absolute monarchy until 1901.
| | ===Decade of Many Kingdoms & unification=== |
| ====The Grand Nationalist Revolutions==== | |
| The Grand Nationalist Revolutions started with the Battle of Spreehafen; in this battle, Plamyadien forces met with Tarperti Nationals along with their navies clashing in the harbor and bay. The Comicans made their first stand at the "Battle of the Cap Gap" in this mountainous battle the Plamyadiens clashed with the Comican Berserkers who were joined by Tarperti Nationals. Meanwhile, the Skerieyvian Brutes fought Sangheili Loyalists and Plamyadien forces in the Siege of Whylsen; the siege lasted for 4 months and resulted in the loss of many Plamyadiens (later just the Loyalists), Sangheili Loyalists, and developed the modern militaristic fervor of the Hellians.
| |
|
| |
|
| Within Sanghelios the Grand Nationalist Revolutions resulted in the Sangheili Civil War. On one side were the Loyalists(those who wanted to fight the nationalist rebels) and on the other were the Elites (those who supported the nationalists and the destruction of the TSE). The reasoning behind the civil war was that the loyalists still dreamt about the imperial pedigree of Sanghelios; meanwhile the Elites supported the cause of the Nationalists and felt that the TSE was supposed to have died a long time ago, they also wanted to experiment with democracy among other things.
| | ===Early 20th century=== |
|
| |
|
| After 2 months a niche faction in Plamyadia started to gain ground, so much so that the regular army started calling themselves the Loyalists. Soon due to neglect the niche faction grew into the Llamatarianists, the Llamatarianists supported the dissolving of the TSE but they were split between restoring the monarchy that the Tarperti dismantled or creating a greater democracy. During 1887 the war seemed to be a complete chaos and the nationalists' morale was falling, but in the spring the legendary "Battle of the Wits" decided the ultimate fate of the war. In this battle, the Nationalists, Berserkers, Brutes, and Elites all congregated and fought relentlessly for days against the Loyalists. The Wits were a conurbation of fields, creeks, and rivers; the battle was won on these rivers the Loyalists were too jaded to fight the Grand Nationalists and so they suffered many losses.
| | ===Under communism=== |
|
| |
|
| The following 3 years were no comparison to the bloodbath of the Wits. The final Battle of Port Douglas has secured the victory for the Grand Nationalists. The general of the Loyalist army had surrendered and the Chancellor was ousted. From this war came the nations of Comico, Sanghelios, Skerieyvos, Tarper, and Plamyadia. The next step was to finalize the end of the TSE and the start of a new era in Covenant.
| |
| ===The Many Kingdoms===
| |
| In the 1890's the Tarperti homeland was rebuilding from the war and so the decade was defined by reconstruction and political strife. The current King of Astra was busy creating alliances and persuading the other Tarperti kingdoms into joining into one nation. During this time the socialist movement was kicked into high gear due to a new and enthusiastic leader, Ernesto Rivero, who was only in his twenties. Along with a rise in communism and socialism came a rise in nationalism. Due to the Tarps being independent a surge of nationalism took hold of the Tarps and a desire to join together in a united nation increased. Kings and other monarchs were threatened to be overthrown if no deal was reached. This popular support allowed the King of Astra to create a nation under his control.
| |
| ===United Kingdoms of Tarper===
| |
| After 10 years of negotiations, on March 1, 1901, the Act of Union was signed and finally united all the Tarps in one nation. The United Kingdoms of Tarper lacked the lands of Outer Comico and Ostplamyadia and the King wanted to change this. On March of 1904, King Manuel I, created the [[Ostplamyadien Crisis]] and demanded the territory from Plamyadia with the excuse that it was rightful Tarperti land. Plamyadia complied with the King's demand due to fear of a nationalist war. King Manuel died in January of 1905. His son, Carlos I, would take over the throne.
| |
|
| |
| Carlos and the Chancellor expanded the voting rights of the citizens by allowing them to vote for delegates to the House of Lords, the UKT had a unicameral legislature, this allowed for the appearance of [[Communist Party of Tarper]]. The new opposition was not much of a challenge since the Chancellor, Charles Jarrett Karl, 2nd Earl of Lansted, remained in office as part of the [[Radical Party of Tarper|Radical Party ]]. In 1904 several riots appeared in the cities, the communists were blamed but later were found innocent. The leader of Communists, Ernesto Rivero, is known to have stated that "... the people don't want to be enslaved anymore, my King. One of these days a riot will turn into a war."

| At the same time tensions were rising and a large scale war was unavoidable. The legislature came up with plans just in case war broke out. From then military spending went higher than ever before in preparation for a war. Today it is known that these actions are why the war happened, other nations were threatened by the Tarperti mobilization and thus escalated tensions.

| ===World War I===
| |
| The large-scale mobilization by the Tarperti government was condemned by the powers of Covenant. King Carlos I, had told the powers that his amassment of troops was for self-defense. Unfortunately, most of the leaders did not know what was going on in his country and so they took this as an offense. In 1907, the King invited the continent's leader to Terraum for his "Peace Banquet". This only created more hatred and dissent.

| In early 1908, the Arbiter of Sanghelios had gone to visit with the Skerieyvan Head of State with his wife. During their trip in a new-fangled motor carriage, the engine stalled and the chauffeur had pulled over by a cafe to fix the car. In the cafe was what historians call a Proto-hellian or a Skerieyvan nationalist. The Hellian's name was Peter Greenburg, great-grandfather of Merrick Greenburg of the Badlands. Peter was part of the Fenrir Gang, a nationalist group that sought revenge for the Skerieyvan territory lost in the Skerieyvan-Sangheili War of 1895. Peter got his pistol, approached the Arbiter's carriage and pulled the trigger. With this fell maneuver, Peter unleashed a four-year-long war that would change Covenant forever.

| Within two days Sanghelios, joined by Tarper, Plamyadia, Apostoli, and other allied powers, marched into Skerieyvos. Comico was angry at the Sangheili for crossing into their border and so it joined Skerieyvos and the other central powers. Several fronts opened and so the war raged on. In four years no side had made a clear advancement and the people of Tarper were deprived of morale. On December 13, 1911, a riot had amassed in the city palace of Terraum and the King decided that his presence would make them scatter. But the people were no longer scared of him, they were angry at his disposition to continue the war. Mothers made up the front lines of the rioting masses, angry at the man who made their sons die. Campaigners from Anarchist organizations and the communist party used this time to preach to the masses. It is Tarperti legend that when one of the Communists quoted the "...no gods, no masters..." line from Marx's "Communist Manifesto", an angry mother fired her son's rifle at the King, Killing him instantly. The masses scattered after royal guards started assaulting them.

| Carlos's son was quickly crowned King, Carlos II, though Carlos II was only 15 he had a good knowledge of military tactics and he decided to continue the war. Angry at this action, the Communist party, plotted a time to rise up and start a revolution, on April 12, 1912, the Communists attempted a coup d'etat and started the first civil war. To the surprise of the Communists, the king decided to keep on with the war, overconfident of his police guards. But the guards were fatigued and betrayed the King. With emergency powers the Chancellor ended and signed a treaty to end the war, Tarper would have to give up Outer Comico, a territory the CTCR would spend three wars trying to conquer. The United Kingdoms of Tarper pulled out of the first world war on April 15, 1912, but the soldiers were not done for they had to fight in the civil war that started three days earlier. World War I ended on November 11, 1912, with the allies as victors, but Tarper was considered a cowardly nation.

| ===First Civil War===
| |
| Tarper had it's third elections in March of 1911, the legislature had gone to winter vacation and choose to meet in the 12th of April for its 1912 session. The Communist electees arrived early to the palace. Though there were more than were elected and a majority of them were armed. The Communists walked into the chamber and carried on with procedure. The insurgents then denied entrance to the rest of the legislators, for they fortified the palace. At 11 AM the pretending legislature had declared the Confederation of Tarperti Communist Republics or Tarperti Confederation and had declared themselves as it's parliament, the People's Assembly. At 2 PM the Royal Guard had surrounded the palace and tried to force the Communists out, the Communists had declared war on the Kingdom and ordered the Red Battalion to fire in the Royal Guards. This motion started the civil war.

| ===Republic of Tarper===
| |
| The 90's were a time of turmoil, Hinder had declared himself Chancellor, he privatized almost everything, and left no trace of the communists. During this time the international community had shunned Tarper due to it having a dictatorship at the turn of the century. Life for the citizens was leagues below of what it had been back in the CTCR. The [[National Party of Tarper|National Party]] dictated almost every aspect of everyday life. The Party was a Fascist delegation, and its remnants existed as a [[New National Party of Tarper|legitimate party]] until the current Government outlawed it. The NP also promoted a very consumerist lifestyle, although under heavy supervision, allowed the corporations to exploit the naïve citizenry.
| |
|
| |
| The government was also changed. From the moment the anthem played in the main square of Terraum, Hinder had been elected but he consolidated his power and dissolved the Confederation. In February of 1992 he outlawed the remaining parties keeping only just mother party. The People's Grand Assembly changed to the Party Floor of Tarper. The NP had filled The Party Floor to the brim with its members. They had no real freedom but to pass Hinder's legislations. Hinder also converted the CTCR into a unitary state in order to maintain maximum control.
| |
| ====Democratisation====
| |
| In 1996 law had mandated the first election, but there was only one candidate, Hinder. The people abstained and protested, which caused the Party Floor to decide for the people and unsurprisingly the legislature gave Hinder another term, but they had also established a period of "democratisation". From this democratisation came many underground movements and campaigns to set up an opposition party. The most successful ones were the [[Democratic Party of the Republic of Tarper|Democratic Party]], [[Neo Communist Party of Tarper|NCT]], [[Republican Green Party of Tarper|Republican Greens]], [[Republican Union of Anti-Capitalists|RUAC]], and [[Sub-National Party of Tarper|Sub-National Party]] (though the Sub-National party had existed before this period and was a puppet of the National party). But all the leaders of these parties were killed by "accidents" during negotiations with Hinder. In reality Hinder had them executed during their meetings. The opposition movements never got far and soon died off in late 1998. Though in 1999 a political prisoner and former member of RUAC, Tony Castilla, along with Brigadier General William Großherzog created the [[Socialist Unity Party of Tarper|New Millennium Party]] as an underground movement that quickly took hold of the northern and western regions.
| |
| ===Second Civil War===
| |
| This war which lasted from July 13, 2000, to June 21, 2002. On December 31, 1999, as the world was celebrating a new millennium, Tony Castilla and delegates from [[Plamyadia]], Sanghelios, and Comico, met to create the Plamyadien Convention. The Convention had agreed to start the attack on Citrone on Midday of July the 13th. They chose that date due to it being the birthday of Mans Hinder and so the army would be off in parades. The day started like any other, the people were moving and the army was marching a parade, the navy did the mistake of harboring the entire fleet in the Lindblumhafen of Citrone. The Comican fleet and Plamyadien Volunteer Navy had set off very early in the morning. At 11:50 they approached the harbor, the Lindblum base had alerted them to identify themselves and state their business, none responded. At 11:58 an F-16 had set off from a Comican carrier and at 12:00 the plane had dropped a 1000 pound bomb on the HNS Freiheit, Christian X. Baum, a pilot of the Comican Air Force, had started the war. More planes took off and bombarded the fleet, the control center had now gotten the message and called Hinder. And so the Battle of Lindblumhafen and Citrone started. Within a few hours Hinder mobilized the whole Army, Plamyadien Volunteer Forces moved into [[Ostplamyadia]], Sanghelios started its bombardment and land invasion of its border with Tarper, and the Comican Cavalry Swordsmen invaded Outer Comico.

| The New Millennium party started its missions. Meanwhile, GA Herzog created phony defensives in order to stall time for his mutiny. But there was something that none expected; Hinder had many political prisoners in prison camps throughout Tarper, knowing that these would certainly get him into trouble. And so on November 17, 2000, Chancellor Mans Hinder, signed the Dissolution Act, this act dissolved the Republic of Tarper and put it into direct control of the National Party, Hinder then ratified the Confederative Papers of South Tarper. The South was an unrecognized state now. And so the war waged on. Until April 16, 2000, when GA William Herzog led the Tarperti Army to commit mutiny, it defected to the Allied forces and merged with the Tarperti Underground, for his actions Herzog was promoted to General of the Armies. There was no real winner at the moment as the Allies were busy sieging the Tarperti cities and the loyalists that remained in the army were excellent at defending. But on September 12, 2001, a loyalist military division surprised and attacked Nationalist forces, they were captured and asked why they had done that, they answered: "Nordstrand has declared independence". Earlier that day the Governor General of Nordstrand had declared the Nordstrand region a free and sovereign nation as the Nordstrander Free State. Within hours Riots started in the biggest cities across the regions and the north and southwest declared independence. The Republic of Citrone, the Slough Republic of Meerland, the Whylsental Commonwealth, Union of Großberg and Südstrand, and the Großer Wald Realm had declared independence. and at the closing hours of September 12, they had united into the North Tarper, almost immediately being recognized by all nations.

| By November the North had taken Terraum, Bergfeld, Ostplamyadia, and Outer Comico. The war was waning down by May, with Astra under occupation and Österfluss in dissent, it was down to finding Mans Hinder. Hinder had taken refuge in his hometown of Lilhammer, his fort consisted of many luxurious rooms that resembled the palace of Versailles. The Sangheili 1st Infantry Division had found his fort and infiltrated it, a soldier had found the room Hinder was located in, Hinder was about to take his own life, but in the nick of time, one of the soldiers disarmed him. Hinder was forced to sign a peace treaty on June 21, 2002, thus ending the war.

| ===Modern Day=== | | ===Fascism & the Second Republic=== |
| From June 22 to September 10 of 2002 the government of North Tarper was in control. The North's rule was ultimately short due to the guidelines of the Treaty of Espace Réservé which forced the North to relinquish power to a new government. On July 1st the New Millennium party handed over power to an interim government made up of Tony Castilla and the leaders of Comico, Plamyadia, and Sanghelios. During the time before elections, a constitution was written up but would not be signed until the opening of the Parliament. On September the 4th, the people of Tarper went to vote on the Nation's first election, the New Millennium Party, now named the Socialist Unity Party (SU), had garnered the most Assembly Members and thus Castilla remained leader. On September 10 the parliament was called to meet and was officially opened by the President and Chancellor, the Constitution was signed on that day.

|
| The whole of Castilla's term was highlighted by reconstruction and overall set-up of the new nation. With the second election showing a positive outlook for the government's policies and a renewed political landscape. The end of Castilla's rule had brought a revision to the constitution and an [[Labour Party of Tarper|opposition party]]. From 2009 to 2015 the country started driving its economy forward, this push for a stronger economy brought up ideas for a new form of Covenant unity. In the [[Tarperti federal election, 2013|2013 election]], the SU had regained its position as ruling party and the new Chancellor, Maximilian Herzog, had overseen the foundation of the Regional Confederation of Covenant, a socioeconomic union that encompasses most of the continent. This union has brought economic prosperity to Tarper.
| | ===Early 21st century=== |
| ====Outlawing of Far-Right groups==== | | ====Second civil war==== |
| In late 2015, Chancellor Herzog had brought up a new bill titled, "A Law for the Eradication of Far-right Groups and Parties from the Federal Chancellery of Tarper" aka "The Antifa Bill". This bill was passed by the Bundestag 630-0 and passed by the Bundesrat 118-2. The two being the [[New Liberal Party of Tarper|NLP]], a liberal party which criticised the bill for infringing on freedom of speech, and the [[Conservative and Nationalist Party of Tarper|CNP]], an moderately conservative party that was worried of exile, the CNP was later deemed too moderate to be outlawed by the Federal Constitutional Court but was warned to watch itself from becoming too nationalistic. With the passing of the bill the remnants of the National Party had been dismantled along with many other far-right groups. Members of these such groups were arrested and put into solitary confinement for "crimes against the state and her people".
