Anulā (Terasi:විජාලන්‍යා ගේ නිවසේ රවීන්ගේ සහ ආර්න්ගේ දියණිය අනුලා, tr; Vijālanyā gē nivasē Ravīngē saha ārngē diyaṇiya Anulā; 5 July 1926 - 7 March 1968) was the last queen of the Royal Kingdom of Ankat and the fifth queen of the country. She ruled from 1950 after her father's death until 1968 when during the Ankati Revolution she was killed. Her reign has been subject to many historical debates as documents from her time as queen have largely been destroyed during the sack of the Royal palace shortly after her death. The current government of the Socialist Republic of Ankat has stated and procured documents stating that Queen Anulā instigated multiple instances of human rights abuses, with the 1967 Tan Mar Massacre, a widely documented incident between royal forces and protestors in Tan Mar in the months leading up to the revolution being the most widely documented. Despite evidence shown by the socialist government, many commentators insist that the Tan Mar massacre was conducted by overzealous military commanders operating without orders and that other accusations by the socialist government are unfounded, with some pieces of evidence being exposed as fraudulent.

In her life she was often referred to as a modernising influence for the country, overseeing overhauls within the nations cities that helped turn Nilagne Naegima, the nations capital, into a flourishing metropolis for the region by the turn of the century and her influences can still be felt today in the modern artwork seen throughout the country. She followed lessons of her father in cultivating relations with Mutul, Pulau Keramat and select nations both in the region and in Belisaria, where she often vacationed and had purchased a summer house in XXXX. She was the only child of her father, Ravin III, and as the crown princess had ownership of the Saśrīka Kanda, or Flourishing Hill. A large estate in the Simhaya mountains.

Following the revolution her legacy has been subject to debate and differences of opinion steeping into the viewers bias toward the socialist movement or to the monarchist cause. For the socialists she is viewed as a tyrannical leader who, they say, directly ordered masses of executions and ordered her troops to conduct the 1967 Tan Mar Massacre and personally ordered the execution of Vimukthi Ratnam, her former Prime Minister and leader of the Torists. To the monarchists she is seen as a queen who, despite doing great things for her people was ultimately a victim of overzealous commanders who covered up their mistakes until, ultimately, the Torists led the revolution against her. Anulā and her eldest son, Prince Nimal, were killed when members of the Kaha Mal sacked the Royal Palace during the First Battle of Nilagne Naegima at the start of the Ankati Civil War. Senior members of her Royal Guard fled the palace with her remaining children, although with the palace being burnt down and a socialist victory in the civil war, the monarchy effectively ended with Anulā's death.

Early Life and education

Anulā in 1939

Anulā was born on the 5th of July 1926 to King Ravin III of the House of Vijalanya and to mother Ayren of the House of Vinjan at the Royal Palace as their only child. In Terasi royalty naming customs, she was born with her given name, Anulā, and her family name Vijālanyā gē nivasē Ravīngē saha ārngē diyaṇiya Anulā which translates to "Anulā, daughter of Ravin and Aryen of the house of Vijalanya". Her position as the sole child and the existence of Absolute primogeniture within the country granted her the title of Crown Princess on birth until her ascension in 1950. Her early years were spent at Saśrīka Kanda in the Simhaya mountains with her mother, the Sudu Mārgaya monks and her growing personal court. She made her debut to the royal court in Nilagne Naegima at the age of 13 in 1939 at the annual celebrations of the ascension of her father. During this she was being subject to home schooling by personal tutors.

Upon reaching age 18 in 1944 she conducted her first royal visit to Mutul before spending some time within Latium and other Belisarian courts in a bid to continue fostering relations.

Queen of Ankat

Anulā visiting XXX in 1952

The most commonly agreed upon start of the downfall of the monarchy originates from the 1967 Tan Mar Massacre, which occurred when anti-monarchist protesters were shot dead by royal troops. Modern Ankati sources, all from the similar pro-socialist source, indicate that Anulā had given the order for the massacre and then ordered the execution of Vimukthi Ratnam, the at-the-time Prime Minister and leader of the Torists.

Queen Anulā and her eldest son, Prince Nimal, were both killed during the Sack of the Royal Palace at the outset of the Ankati Civil War. Her death signalled the end of the sitting monarchy in the country, and at the end of the civil war the government was dissolved in favour of a socialist government under the Socialist Republic. Her children fled to friendly nations and have, since her death, been at high risk of assassination such as Prince Juyanti in 1999, who was shot dead in the street by two women who had travelled directly to his location from Nilagne Naegima and had false identities. The two women, sentenced to life in prison in XXXX, are believed by many to be members of the Ankat National Party's elite paramilitary unit, which are often deployed to conduct operations on behalf of the party itself.
