The first Republic of Fravina (Lysian: première République de Fravina) was the government of Fravina from its independence in 1804 until its dissolution in 1948, following the conclusion of the Second Civil War.

Etymology

Originally applied to a smaller portion of the current territory, the name Fravina comes from an endonym meaning "people of the river". The earliest linguistic evidence points to tribal origins of the name Fravina. It is derived by combining the indigenous Frav people and the Frav word ina meaning river. The actual river of this name refers to the Orléans River.

History

Indigenous peoples and pre-colonial era

The earliest known complex civilization in Fravina was the Iritina, who lived in the southern regions of modern-day Fravina. While much of Iritina history is lost, historians know that the Iritina civilization flourished around 800 BC with a culture and language distinct from surrounding civilizations. By 869 BC, the city of Dikasa conquered other Iritina cities and formed the Iritina Empire.

By approximately 780 BC, Iritina collapsed from unknown reasons. Historians speculate that it may have fell from the migrating Alonisin tribes from the west, civil war, natural disasters, or any combination of the three. After that, Fravina was mainly composed of three groups - the Iritina, Alonisin, and Diadi. The three were constantly in conflict with each other and with themselves over resources. Around 270 AD, some of the Idaha tribes from the south, in modern-day Delamaria, migrated to Fravina. The Idaha and Iritina were constantly at war, which led to the extinction of the Iritina people around 800 AD.

Around 1400, four Fravi cities along the Orléans River formed an alliance. This alliance, called the Frav Empire, was headed by the city of Tesina, modern-day Port de Sang. By the way of several conquests, the Frav Empire grew to encompass the Alonisin and Diadi people by around 1500.

Lysian colonization

When Fravina was first discovered by Europan explorers it was named Lysian Columbia by the Lysian explorer Louis Boneparte.

Early colonizers were often in conflict with the Frav Empire, but by 1695, the Frav Empire fell to Lysian forces led by Admiral Louis Orléans. Colonizers occupied the Four Cities, renaming them Port de Orléans, Belleville, Beaufort, and Cour de Valentine. The three colonies of Fravina (Prétredy, Orléans and d'Olivier) were used as penal colonies by Lysia.

Many settlers were inticed by a number of economic speculative bubbles such as the fur trade, exotic plant trade as well as the construction boom in the late 18th century. Major exports of early colonies were flowers, fur, vegetables native to the new world as well as tobacco.

Lysian Columbia

The three colonies of Fravina declared independence from Lysia in 1778, and became a part of Lysian Columbia. Rising internal tensions caused the Oaktree Revolution against Columbia during the Delamarian War of 1804. The Oaktrees sought independence from Lysian Columbia, which was granted in 1809 by the Treaty of Labrador.

1800s

Fravina had collected a large debt during the Delamarian War that it struggled to pay off. The debt continued to increase during the Fravina Shipping Crisis of 1833, the Native Fravi Rebellions, and the Fravina Labour Strikes of the 1880s. By the late 1800s, the country suffered from corruption.

Civil Wars

The First Civil War of Fravina (1896-1902) between the Indigenous Confederacy, Fravi Socialists, and the government of Fravina. Beginning with the Proclamation of Indigenous Independence in October 1896, the war grew to include the Socialists when Premier Pierre Antier began persecuting the group in an attempt to stop the Socialists from expressing support for the Indigenous Confederacy. Despite initial losses, the Republic won the war in 1902.

In the post-war period, Fravina struggled to rebuild, facing an economic depression. Lewis M. Nichols, a popular colonel who served in the Civil War, gained control of the Fravi government in the 1907 Fravi coup d'etat. Popular in the north, he moved the nation's capital from the southern Port de Orléans to the Fort d'Olivier on Fravina's northern border. Following Nichols's death in 1938, southern Lieutenant Colonel Jacques de Mercy and northern Brigadier General Joseph Peretti came into conflict over succession, leading to the Second Civil War of Fravina. Those for De Mercy were colloquially referred to as the Roses, and were mainly composed of socialists and so-called Green Liberals. Those for Peretti were colloquially referred to as the Irises, and were mainly composed of fascists and so-called Blue Liberals.

The mainly industrial core of the southern regions vastly contributed to their victory of 1948. The war ended in late August 1948 when the Roses, led by now Grand General de Mercy, won the Siege of Fort d'Olivier, leading to the death of Joseph Perreti. Following the siege, de Mercy officially proclaimed the end of the First Republic and the beginning of the Second Republic.
