After Tsar Vasilije died his last surviving son, Maximilián, was the next legal heir. Maximilián's cousin Danilo was the only surviving son of Vasilije's older brother Vitomir, and had ambitions to claim the throne for himself. Merely weeks after the death of Vasilije, Danilo's first move was to take his small force of soldiers and supporters and seize Čilika, in northern Hrastče, the former seat of power of his father Vitomir as he believed it would boost his legitimacy for the throne. He then took control of the surrounding cities and rallied some public support as a capable young leader, and returned to Čilika to await the response of Maximilián's regent, Radovan Koleno, who had been chosen by the State Duma. Legitimists within the State Duma pushed for the assembly of an army to confront Danilo and restore order. Others praised Danilo as a worthy successor, as he was already 20 years old. Maximilián and his sister Princess Jošana were taken into hiding by Stejpan Bočina, a good friend and close confidant of late Tsar Vasilije. Bočina feared that Danilo would attempt to kidnap or kill them to remove any opposition. Bočina assembled an army of State Duma members as well as burghers and prominent commoners loyal to Maximilián and the wishes of the late Tsar Vasilije and moved to Ljuska, but Danilo refused to meet him in battle. He instead stayed at Čilika together with his supporters, seemingly preparing for a long stand-off. Danilo needed time for the State Duma to proclaim him Tsar, something which he was very confident of, so he only needed to maintain a stand off. | |||
When Danilo began appealing for support and legitimacy from foreign realms, the attitudes of many state officials and citizens shifted. Instead of being seen as a throne pretender wanting to stabilize Hrastče, it made Danilo look like we was desperate and begging for support.

Recent History
After Tsar Vasilije died his last surviving son, Maximilián, was the next legal heir. Maximilián's cousin Danilo was the only surviving son of Vasilije's older brother Vitomir, and had ambitions to claim the throne for himself. Merely weeks after the death of Vasilije, Danilo's first move was to take his small force of soldiers and supporters and seize Čilika, in northern Hrastče, the former seat of power of his father Vitomir as he believed it would boost his legitimacy for the throne. He then took control of the surrounding cities and rallied some public support as a capable young leader, and returned to Čilika to await the response of Maximilián's regent, Radovan Koleno, who had been chosen by the State Duma. Legitimists within the State Duma pushed for the assembly of an army to confront Danilo and restore order. Others praised Danilo as a worthy successor, as he was already 20 years old. Maximilián and his sister Princess Jošana were taken into hiding by Stejpan Bočina, a good friend and close confidant of late Tsar Vasilije. Bočina feared that Danilo would attempt to kidnap or kill them to remove any opposition. Bočina assembled an army of State Duma members as well as burghers and prominent commoners loyal to Maximilián and the wishes of the late Tsar Vasilije and moved to Ljuska, but Danilo refused to meet him in battle. He instead stayed at Čilika together with his supporters, seemingly preparing for a long stand-off. Danilo needed time for the State Duma to proclaim him Tsar, something which he was very confident of, so he only needed to maintain a stand off.
When Danilo began appealing for support and legitimacy from foreign realms, the attitudes of many state officials and citizens shifted. Instead of being seen as a throne pretender wanting to stabilize Hrastče, it made Danilo look like we was desperate and begging for support. Many believed this would result in Hrastče and Danilo being made a foreign puppet. The Lord Regent at the time, Radovan Koleno, had proclaimed his support for Danilo and encouraged members of the State Duma to join him and proclaim Danilo Tsar of Hrastče. As Danilo continued to appeal for foreign assistance, support for his cause in the State Duma started to collapse.
By autumn, Danilo had gained support from a few minor island nations nearby Hrastče, and later he and his supporters decided to attack deep into the Mojić region, one of Hrastče's most important industrial regions, in an attempt to consolidate more of the nation and give the State Duma no choice but to accept his terms.

Several weeks after the end of the war, at the age of 8, Maximilián was proclaimed by the State Duma as Maximilián III, Tsar of Hrastče. Princess Jošana was declared the temporary heir-apparent as there are no other males directly related to Maximilián with a strong claim.
Politics and Administration
Hrastče is considered a Tsarist Autocracy. All legislative, executive and judiciary power ultimately rests in the hands of the hereditary Tsar.
The Tsar is the head of state and directly controls the foreign affairs and defence portfolios. He has absolute power and issues laws by decree. Currently, due to the age of Tsar Maximilián, Lord Regent Stejpan Bočina acts as head of state and is subordinate to the State Duma until the Tsar reaches the age of adulthood.
