{{main|Mavranai Antiquity}}


On 14 May 1925, the Mavranai Federation was formed, the result of the Federal Congress of Mavris. The congress, having lasted 6 months from 14 November 1924 to the Federal Declaration on 14 May 1925. From 1925-1927, the Federation would be led by a Provisional Government under Alexandre Fleur, in practice the first prime minister (1925-1937). During the congress, the 250 delegates (125 from both Illieux and Farisia) convened daily to craft the founding legislation and governing legislature of the Federation, resulting most notably in the ''Federal Mavranai Constitution of 1925'', the ''Federal Charter of the Rights of the Citizen'' and the ''Initial Economic Doctrine of the Mavranai Federation''. The Federal Congress, while supported by a significant majority in both nations, led to controversy amongst 'Sovereignist' groups, culminating in the Farisian Naval Mutiny of 1926, which sought to repeal the legislation of the Federal Congress of Mavris. The ''Order of Stability'' in 1926 banned Sovereignist parties, which mostly removed political pressure from the Federation's creation.

{{main|Pre-Modern History of Mavran}}


The ''Federal Mavranai Constitution of 1925'' was widely lauded as Liberal and Progressive at the time of its writing. It re-iterated many terms of the Revolutionary Constitutions, such as the ban on Slavery and legalisation of Homosexuality, while also going further. It formalised a system of Proportional Representation in elections, expanded the ban on Slavery to a ban on the trade which led to the Federation taking a leading role in the region on fighting any trade of slaves, established formal public schooling, imposed some of the first worker's protections in the nations and went into great detail regarding minority rights closing many loopholes and laying the groundwork for Mavranai Multiculturalism.

Despite unofficially finished on the Federal Declaration, the Federal Congress of Mavris remained officially open until the first Federal elections in 1927. The 1927 election to this day remains the election with the highest percentage of voter turnout, at an astounding 84.72%.

'''1927 - 1932'''
==== Early 20th Century ====
[[File:Adolphe_Thiers_Nadar_2.JPG|220px|thumb|right|Alexandre Fleur in 1928]]
The election of 1927 was a fundamental one to the establishment of the modern Mavranai Federation. The first of it's kind in the new Federation, there were many logistical issues prior to the day, such as organising polling stations, informing citizens of how the system worked, and many other complex challenges. In the end, the election would be won by the ''Centre'' Bloc, under the leadership of, at the time, Provisional Prime Minister Alexandre Fleur. ''Centre'' rode the wave of popularity surrounding the 'Father of the Federation' as well as the widely popular centre-left ideas which the Bloc was comprised of at the time, to secure 327 seats. This was just one seat short of a majority, and it led to the first ever coalition negotiations in the Federation's history. In the end, in order to represent a large majority of the populace, ''Centre'' would enter into a coalition with the centre-right ''Identité & Valeurs''. This would prove widely popular, and would result in just under 90% of seats in the Federal Parliament being in the ruling coalition. In Illieux, ''Centre'' parties secured a majority in the regional legislature, resulting in Illieux's first ''Centre'' First Minister, Mari Fillia. In Farisia, ''Identité & Valeurs'' secured a majority in the regional legislature, resulting in Farisia's first ''Identité & Valeurs'' First Minister Millich Maurini.


Fleur's 1927 Mandate saw vast strides in the Federalisation of the new nation, as well as improving the connectivity of member states. Under the 1927 Mandate, Fleur would create the military structure for the Federation, create a unified school cirriculum, as well as begin several Public Works Projects under the ''Comité des Travaux Sociétals'' which would link together much of the Federation's infrastructure, as well as begin some of the first ''Travaux Fédéraux'', Federal Works for the purpose of helping to bring Illieux and Farisia closer together. In addition to this, the first Federal Territories were seperated from the Member Nations. The Federal Territories Act of 1929 organised the land which would later become the [[Greater Mavris-sur-Rozo Metropolitan Area]] or GMRMA. Notable Acts also include the Federal Transport Bill, which set the groundworks for unified Federal Laws on Transportation, and the Federal Health Service Act, which organised the first ever state Health Service in either member states.
Mavran emerged during the early 20th Century amidst a time of general optimism and hope for the future. Federalisation movements between Illieux and Farisia had grown massively since the beginning of the century, with the binational [[Lysolt|''Lysolt'']] party, which directly advocated for federal integration between the nations, entering government in 1922 and 1923 for Illieux and Farisia respectively. On 14 May 1924, the [[Mavranai Unity Referendum]] passed by a supermajority of 83% in favour of Federation, with a record total turnout of 95% of eligible voters. Unification talks would officially begin two months later and would conclude 14 May 1925, with the conclusion of the [[Federal Congress of Mavris]] and the signing of the [[Federal Mavranai Constitution of 1925]]. Mavran saw particular political turmoil from [[Anti-Mavranai Sovereignism|Sovereignist]] [[Political Action Group|Political Action Groups]] (note: make page for [[Mavranai Sovereignist political organisations]], include Parties and Groups)such as the [[Groupement Pan-Illieuxnai Indépendance|All-Illieuxnai Independence Group]] or [[Tovazystvo Vriny Fircz|Vrina Firch Society]], as well as Sovereignist [[List of political parties in Mavran|political parties]] such as the [[Parti Bastion d'Illieuxnai|Illieuxnai Bastion Party]] or [[Front Farisia|Farisia Front]]. This culminated in the [[Farisian Naval Mutiny of 1926]], and a Federal crackdown on Sovereignist organisations through the [[Order of Stability]] in late-1926. Sovereignist elements would remain politically active in Mavran for the rest of the decade and in the early years of the 1930's, before losing momentum with the rapidly rising legitimacy of the Mavranai government following the [[1927 Mavranai Federal Election|1927 Federal Election]] and subsequent [[Fleurian Federalisation in Mavran|Federalisation intiatives]] implemented by [[Alexandre Fleur|Alexandre Fleur]]'s government.


During this time, the Federation would experience minor, albeit steady, economic growth, as while new connectivity allowed for industries to better cooperate and expand profits, new Federalisation initiatives also proved expensive, requiring expensive taxes which initially stifled Mavranai industry. Particular effects were felt in the steel industry, which struggled under the weight of high taxes and weak contracts, with Eastcoast Steel, Illieux's and the Federation's biggest steel manufacturer, nearly going bankrupt, being saved only by an influx of government Rozen and relaxation of taxes on the steel industry under the demand of ''Identité & Valeurs''. While the economy struggled to grow however, the average standard of living greatly improved, particularly amongst the poorest regions, where new access to goods greatly lowered prices and allowed for a far better life for the working-class. This in turn led to a much bolstered class of workers, with the 1927 Mandate seeing some of the first worker's unions established in the member states, notably the Eastern Steelworkers Union and the Arbar Coalhole Union. These unions would later prove instrumental to the socialist movement in the region.
By the 1927 Federal Elections, most of the Mavranai population could and would listen to [[FMC]] radio programmes. Experimental television broadcasts began in 1933 and the first FMC Television Operation began in 1939. Significant progress was made at the time regarding minority discrimination, particularly sexual minority discrimination, with landmark decisions by the [[Federal Court of Justice|FCJ]] such as [[Morin v. Farisia]]. Additionally, [[Labour movement in Mavran|socialist agitation]] grew massively, with the SDF and AST gaining large amounts of seats in [[Federal Parliament of Mavran|Parliament]]. Left-wing ideology rapidly grew in Mavran throughout the late 1930's and much of the 1940's. [[Lys Maraud]] would face the fallout of the most significant scandal in Mavranai history upto that point with the public exposure to the [[Board of Steel Scandal]], which rocked the SDF and led to the [[1940 SDF Party Conference|election]] of [[Delleu Mariocher]]. The Democratic Socialism of this time in Mavran is now widely-seen as Proto-Martinist, and fears of a transition to a fully socialist economy led to the narrow reelection of Alexandre Fleur to lead a Centre government before the [[First Argic War]].


'''1932 - 1937'''
Mavran saw heavy military buildup during the latter end of the 1940's, with rapid military expansion in response to rising tensions in Argis. After Ahrana invaded Dniester in 1949, Mavran entered the First Argic War on the side of the [[Periphery Alliance]]. Alexandre Fleur created a new wartime [[Fleur Wartime Government|emergency coalition]] government involving all Federal Blocs and became its head two months after the start of the war. Despite initial setbacks on the land fronts of the war, Mavran continued the war against the Central Argic Powers. Fleur engaged Mavran in a state of 'total war', taking emergency control over industry, science, engineering, and much of Mavranai life and the economy, in order to further the war effort. In 19xx, the [[Marine Fédérale]] (MF) and [[Force Aérienne Fédérale]] (FAF) inflicted decisive defeats on CAP naval and air forces in the Battle for the Mediargic. Mavranai shipping and naval logistics suffered heavy losses due to CAP submarine trade interdiction. There were eventual hard-fought victories along the southern Garindinan coast in the Battle outside Yuzhemore, the [[Battle of Ahrana]], and the [[Dniesterian campaign]]. Mavranai forces played essential roles in the [[Operation Zenith|Yuzhemore landings]] which pushed the CAP towards a peace agreement, despite initial victories. The [[Armée Mavranai Fédérale]] (AMF) led the Raskia-Kauni campaign against Baltica, and the Mavranai Keel Fleet engaged Baltica at sea. (More to include about Baltica campaign (victory?) and nuclear weapons)


The election of 1932 proved far less decisive than that of 1927. While ''Centre'' remained the largest Bloc in the Federal Parliament, it's seat share shrank by 100 seats, falling to just one more seat than ''Identité & Valeurs'', which resulted in a similar coalition government to that of 1927 with the government comprising of approxeimately 69% of seats. The shrinking of the ruling Blocs can mostly be attributed to the rise of threats from both the Left and Right of the political spectrum, particularly the ''Social-Démocrate Front'' which massively expanded it's seat share by 99 seats from 4 to 103, and ''Avant!'' which emerged as a new voting bloc of right-wing parties, many of which were independents in the 1927 election due to limitations from ''Identité & Valeurs'' surrounding social policy. ''Alliance Socialiste des Travailleurs'' also secured a seat, showing that socialist ideas were beginning to grow in popularity in Mavran. However, the results ultimately secured Alexandre Fleur a second 5 year term as the Prime Minister of the Federation, with Fleur's approval ratings remaining relatively high. In Illieux, ''Centre'' parties failed to garner a majority, resulting in a coalition government led by ''Centre'' with the ''Social-Démocrate Front'' as a junior member. In Farisia, the ''Identité & Valeurs'' held on to power, only losing a few seats in the Farisian Assembly.
==== Late 20th Century ====
[[File:Erich_Salomon_-_The_Supreme_Court,_1937.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Photo of the FCJ in session regarding ''Morin v. Farisia''. This is one of two known photos in existence of the FCJ in session.]]
Fleur's 1932 Mandate saw the continuation of Federalisation policies, as well as several landmark legal cases and Parliamentary Bills which would end up vastly changing the landscape of Mavranai social policy. Just two months after the beginning of Fleur's second term, Parliament passed the ''1932 Federal Protection Bill'' which saw greater rights given to Mavran's minorities, most notably the Right to Freedom of Expression for homosexuals. While homosexuality's legalisation had been enshrined in the ''Federal Charter of the Rights of the Citizen'' in 1925, homosexual Mavranais still did not have the legal right to express their homosexuality in public. This was a large point of public contention as such rights had already existed in Illieux but not in Farisia, and many expected the Federation to expand people's rights, not take them away. As such, the introduction of the ''1932 Federal Protection Bill'' was met with great public support. In 1932 and early 1933, 3 Justices of the FCJ would die and be replaced by the left-leaning parliament, resulting in a more liberally-skewed parliament. This is important, as later in 1933, the case of Morin v. Farisia would shake the Federation, and would serve as a basis for outlining the rights of the member nations. While the ''1932 Federal Protection Bill'' officially protected homosexuals from state discrimination throughout the Federation, the conservative government of Farisia wanted to forbid homosexuals from being able to join the Farisian section of the Federal Mavranai Armed Forces. The lawyers of Farisia argued that Federal Anti-Discrimination legislation only applied in areas under the direct oversight of Federal Administration, and that the member nations should be free to make their laws surrounding permitted discrimination as they please. Morin, on the other hand, argued that Federal legislation on discrimination should override national laws, since the Federal Constituion outlined that the hierarchy of powers placed the Federation above nations. The FCJ agreed with Morin over Farisia, making great headway in the fight against discrimination and allowing people of  all sexualities and genders legal protection in being able to join the FMAF.

Despite great social change, the economic side of the Federation remained fairly stagnant. While the 1932 Mandate saw some minor economic growth, government intervention was more focused on increasing accessibility for private industries than direct intervention in the growth of the economy. With most Federalisation initiatives paid for, Mavran entered a surplus which would continue for most of the Mandate. Fleur's second ministry saw the decreasing of many taxes whilst also significantly increasing military spending and growing the FMAF. The five year term especially saw massive growth in the Mavranai navy, as much of the military brass sought to expand Mavran's power projection in the Mediargic and Keelpijp. In particular, the Navy Branch and newly-founded Air Branch of the FMAF cooperated to better develop Mavran's main naval doctrine of intense Naval-Air cooperation. Of particular note are the two Pione-Class Aircraft Carriers built during this period, which helped to solidify the importance of Air in the doctrines of both the Mavranai Army and Navy. The 1932 Government also placed heavy emphasis on innovation in fighter development, prioritising close-range bombers and light fighters for effective Ground-Air and Water-Air cooperation. A significant culture surrounding air warfare would begin to build in Mavran around this time, as many military strategists declared airplanes the 'future of war'. Air development would also help to heavily boost the Farisian and Arbar economies, as these places hosted the most significant production and R&D facilites for airplanes in the Federation. Military funding into air by the Federation at this time also allowed for high wages for engineers, designers and scientists working on the new generation of Mavranai airplanes, helping to bring more money into regions which historically underperformed economically due to a lack of a real economic base which would encourage private enterprise investment, resulting in the first real economic growth in these more rural regions of the Federation. Additionally, the construction of new infrastructure for planes helped to create thousands of more jobs. This would be used as proof by the SDF in the next election that government involvement in the economy could not only be more efficient at times than waiting for the private sector, but also more beneficial for the nation.


This mandate was also notable for the significant increase in Socialist Agitation throughout the Federation. With the Proportional system of the Federation, left-wing voices were becoming increasingly heard, and had begun siphoning many votes from the 'stagnating' ''Centre'' Bloc parties, which many thought were doing too little to improve worker conditions and grow the economy. A small crash in the Mavranai stock market further agitated working people which, while mostly leaving the economy unscathed, wiped out the savings of many families, while also highlighting the fragility of the current economic system. In 1937, Mavranai workers began a General Strike to protest unsafe working conditions and low wages, as well as a decline in the standard of living compared to the initial post-unification boom. In particular, the Arbar Coalhole Union, the largest union in the Federation at the time, would hold a unionwide strike against the perceived overlooking of dangerous working conditions in Nevrisian and Farisian mines by upper class owners and corporate managers, with the union accusing the mineowners of placing 'additional Rozen before the lives of their compatriots'. In response, many other unions joined them, including the Eastern Steelworkers Union, which led to most unions demanding action from the Federal Parliament. This time would prove heavily turbulent for the Mavranai economy, as the strike tanked the GDP, and the support of moderates for the ruling government coalition with it, setting the stage for the first SDF government in Mavran's history.
Mavran was greatly affected by the First Argic War. Immediately upon the dissolution of the Fleur Wartime Coalition, an emergency election was held, with the elected FMP's representing the shortest term in Mavranai history, with a special term of three years. Mavran would be rocked with political instability until [[Maurthim Pilliod]]'s Mandate in [[1967 Mavranai Federal Election|1967]], with the country being strongly divided between left-wing and right-wing politics. During Pilliod's Mandate, Pilliod initiated a radical programme of reforms, which greatly impacted Mavranai society and Mavranai leftism in the following decades. Major industries, public utilities, and media were nationalised, a full welfare state was reestablished following its dissolution under Zeraufin, and a publicly-funded healthcare system, the [[Federal Health Service]], was created. Mavran saw a much-heightened economic position, especially with its neutrality in the [[Second Argic War]]. Until the end of Gardin's [[Caretaker Mandate|caretaker-mandate]] and the coming to power of the Morn government, Mavran pursued much closer relations with left-wing nations globally, particular democratic socialist nations such as [[Advocatius]].


==== Maraud's Mandate (1937-1940) ====
Following the First Argic War, succeeding governments greatly encouraged immigration and streamlined processes, resulting in Mavran becoming more of a multicultural and multi-ethnic society in the following decades. Despite a rise in living standards under Pilliod's government, Mavran's economic performance was far less successful than many of its economic competitors in Argis. In 1970, a [[Referendum on Democratic Expansion|referendum on abolishing the minimum voting age]] barely failed to pass, with a vote 49.52% for and 50.48% against. In 1975, Pilliod's government collapsed following the [[Maurthim's Folly|failure to pass a divisive lowering of the military budget]], leading to the collapse of the [[Grand Left Party]]. From the late 1970's onwards, Arbar began to suffer from communal and paramilitary violence conventially known as [[The Tumult|the Tumult]]. It is usually considered to have ended with the [[Arbar Conciliation Agreement|2024 Nevris 'Arbar Conciliation' Agreement]]. Following a period of significant economic slowdown and [[Strike Action in Mavran#Action under Gardin|strike action]] in the early 1980's, the Avant! government of the 1980's to 2000's led by [[Lionelle Morn]], the Mavranai representative to the [[Assembled Nations|AN]] from 1973-1977 known prior for her efforts in the Mavranai bid for the [[Assembled Nations Department of Peace Operations|ANDPO]] headquarters, initiated a radical policy of monetarism, deregulation of all sectors including labour markets, mass-privatisation, and a mass withdrawal of subsidies.


'''1937 - 1939'''
(Future footnote for western islands for planned expansion with Garindina. Involvement there) Mavran was significantly involved in the AN during the term of [[Adrien Maurice]], the [[First Secretary of the Assembled Nations]] during the [[Assembled Nations#First Secretary|1987-1993]] term, with particularly significant involvement in regards to military action against the [[Alharun Slave Trade]] and humanitarian action against malaria. Mavranai involvement in the AN would largely fall after Adrien Maurice's descension from the role of First Secretary, however internationalist sentiment greatly spiked in Mavran during this time.
The 1937 election was one of the most influential in Mavranai history. For the first time since the inception of the Federation, a Bloc other than ''Centre'' had managed to secure the greatest share of seats in the Federal Parliament. The ''Social-Démocrate Front'' achieved an astounding 258 seats, which was more than the number of seats that ''Centre'' held in the previous government. In addition to this, the ''AST'' had increased its seat share by 48 times, showing a significant swing in the ideology of the Federation towards the left wing. Discontent on the right also led to many ''Identité & Valeurs'' voters leaving for ''Centre'' or ''Avant!'' parties, greatly damaging the soft conservatives in the Federal Parliament in favour of liberal and hard conservative forces. However, media focus was mostly on the to-be-reigning ''Social-Démocrate Front'', which under the left-wing populism and Mavranai nationalism of Lys Maraud, would lead the new government alongside ''Centre''. In Illieux, a reversal of the political order occurred, with the Social-Démocrate Front securing the largest seat share and entering into a coalition government with Centre as the junior member. In Farisia, the Identité & Valeurs Bloc finally lost its majority, resulting in a big tent coalition of some Centre parties, Identité & Valeurs and Avant!.


Despite the relatively sort span of Maraud's government compared to other ones in Mavranai history, it was remarkably productive in terms of completing the goals it set out for itself prior to the election. In the first three years of the government, it was able to handily pass many groudbreaking worker's rights legislations, which helped to secure the few rights that Mavranai workers had at the time while also laying the foundations for future legislative leaps under successive governments. The government's socialist economic policy also helped to the fuel the growth of the economy, with FMRTC being founded in 1938, nationalising all railroads and rail networks in the Federation, including tram and metro lines. Maraud's policies which revolved around giving Mavranai workers a 'socialist New Deal' helped to greatly increase his popularity amongst unions and socialist organisations, which in turn boosted support for the ''Social-Démocrate Front'' throughout the Federation. Significant Public Works for the sake of continuing economic development also occured during these three years, laying the foundations for much of the infrastructure still used in Mavran to this day, such as the Inter-Federal Highway, the Nevric Rails, and the Coastline, a rail which is seen as many to be the predecessor to the Coastliner of the 2022 LM-SDF Government. Overall, a series of nationalisations, socialist policies and continuing trade with the world would lead to Mavran pursuing closer relations with many socialist powers in the world, including the People's Republic of Lysia.
As the millennium ended, major changes erupted in Mavran, particularly mass digitalisation, the revival of the manufacturing industry, increased globalisation and massive implementations of austerity. Mavran remained a regional power in Argis, even as its standing began to gradually fall. Mavranai citizens began to change their opinions of foreign aid significantly, growing far more supportive of the idea following a [[Humanitarians Without Borders Media Blitz|rapidly successful media campaign]] by the organisation '[[Humanitarians Without Borders]]'. Mavran entered the year 2000 under the government of Lionelle Morn, although Avant! leadership was growing increasingly unsure after a [[1997 Mavranai Federal Election|surprisingly close election]] between Morn and the SDF candidate [[Antoine Blair]]. Morn additionally alluded to potentially seeking closer relations with one of the global superpowers, a significant shift from earlier rhetoric of a 'third-world' Mavran.


'''1940'''
==== 21st Century ====


In 1940, disaster struck for Maraud's government. Dealings with some of the largest steel corporations in Mavran had been revealed to the public, in which Maraud had promised favour from the government and monopolistic protections and contracts in exchange for funding to the ''Social-Démocrate Front''. The scandal shook the public's confidence and trust in Maraud as a socialist icon of the people to the core, with much of his core voterbase feeling betrayed and looking towards the more radical ''AST'' as a new leftist alternative. In order to prevent the complete collapse of the ''Social-Démocrate Front'' and to save the Bloc, Delleu Mariocher, the Vice-Leader of the SDF, campaigned heavily for a Vote of No Confidence in the party against Maraud. Three months after the scandal, the ''Social-Démocrate Front'' put a Vote of No Confidence towards the membership of the Bloc, which resulted in Maraud being ousted as leader. Mariocher would also spearhead a Vote of No Confidence against the Maraud government in the Federal Parliament, while would lead to Maraud losing his position as Prime Minister. In the ensuing power vacuum, Mariocher would be able to use his significant accumulated clout in order to secure ''Social-Démocrate Front'' leadership for himself, and would soon be voted in to power as Prime Minister by the leading coalition.

==== Mariocher's Mandate (1940-1947) ====


'''1940 - 1942'''
The [[Great Europan Collapse]] partnered with the 2007 Banking Crisis led to the near complete collapse of the Mavranai economy. The fallout of the Great Europan Collapse had already severely affected the Mavranai economy, however partnered with the 2007 Banking Crisis, it led to a near complete collapse of the economy. The Coryn-Millieud coalition government prioritized significant government intervention in the economy, which is widely attributed to having saved it from complete collapse. In 2011 the [[Office of Financial Responsibility]] took the government before the FCJ in the case [[OFR v. Fédération Mavranai]] in which the FCJ ruled that the government is allowed to break the [[Third Amendment to the Federal Mavranai Constitution of 1925|Third Amendment]] in the case of 'an emergency threatening the continued existence of the Federation'. It is hotly debated amongst economists whether the Mavranai economy ever truly recovered after the 2006-2007 Crisis', particularly as the economy continues to suffer from sluggish growth and chronic underfunding. A referendum on Arbaromo independence in 2015 failed to pass Federal Parliament, being defeated by one vote, 327-328, reigniting tensions in Arbar.


When Mariocher came to power in the ''Social-Démocrate Front'', many moderates were wary, and many conservaties were foaming at the mouth. Mariocher, a former ''AST'' member, was seen as a divise figure. With significant historic involvement in the Communist and Syndicalist movements in Mavran in his past, he had moderated his image to make his percieved ideological radicality seem a matter of economic and social pragmatism instead of based on any argument of morality or righteousness, like many communist figures in Mavran had done previously. This changed image made him electable enough for the ''Centre'' Bloc, which just barely voted in favour of re-entering the coalition with the ''Social-Démocrate Front''. The ''AST'' on the other hand, was ecstatic, with many seeing this as the rise of true socialism in the Federation. However, Mariocher seemingly knew he was on borrowed time, with the Steel Scandal still looming over the Bloc in the polls. As such, Mariocher embarked on a series of radical reforms to completely reshape the Mavranai economy and hopefully improve living standards enough to secure the votes of moderates.
In 2020, [[ERHWA]] was established in Mavris, with national funding. The Grand War has slowed down Mavranai-Europan trade considerably, leading to a second economic shock, although new safeguards prevented a crisis on the level of the aftermath of the Great Europan Collapse. The 2021 Economic Crisis is largely seen as the jumping point from which Charois Delleum's 'Progressive New-Left' jumped off from, leading to his historic victory in the [[2022 Mavranai Federal Election|2022 elections]]. Mavran has remained largely neutral on international affairs, with leadership consistently citing the economic turmoil of recent years as to why.
 
Mariocher mostly continued Maraud's process of slow nationalisation, but greatly expanded his Public Works Programmes, additionally expand the idea of a 'Socialist New Deal' while distancing it from its Maraudist roots. In order to further destroy any idea of Maraud's legacy potentially looming over the ''Social-Démocrate Front'' into the next election, he additionally greatly expanded the powers of Anti-Trust operations in Mavran, taking particular focus to the monopolistic steel conglomerates that were dominating much of the economy. Many voters would slowly stop associating the 'new' SDF with Maraud, which seemingly proved that Mariocher's plan had been effective in stopping the total collapse of the SDF. Approval ratings steadily began to climb back up, although they wouldn't again reach the same level as they had during the peak of Maraud's government. As the 1942 elections approached, the government promised total overhauls to the taxation system, with a focus on decreasing taxation for the working person.
 
'''1942 - 1947'''
 
The 1942 election was hugely influential in cementing the power of the socialist movement in Mavran. While the ''Social-Démocrate Front'' still came in first, it lost a small amount of seats, however gaining a significant amount of seats from moderates formerly voting ''Centre''. The greatest shock came at the end of election week, when the ''AST'' emerged as the second largest Bloc in the Federal Parliament. As such, the first officially elected Mariocher government would be formed by a leftist coaltion of the ''Social-Démocrate Front'', alongside the ''AST'' and ''Centre'' Blocs. With electoral legitimacy and support from the far-left, Mariocher would be able to go on to fundamentally change Mavran. In Illieux, the Social-Démocrate Front once more secured the largest seat share, however entered into a coalition government with the AST as the junior partner. In Farisia, Identité & Valeurs failed to regain its majority, and had to enter into a coalition government with Centre as the junior member, as Avant! failed to gain enough seats to be able to form a majority government.

Mavran, officially the Fédération Mavranai (Anglish: Federation of Mavran), is a sovereign Federation of nations whose territory is in Central Argis on Eurth. The Federation only borders Velika to the East, as well as the Mediargic Sea and Keelpjip. Mavran has a population of approximately 33.2 million, and an area of 134,452 km2 (51,912 sq mi). The Federal Parliament regularly meets in the capital city of Mavris-sur-Rozo (Mavris-on-Rose).

Mavran is divided into three regions, which are further divided into 12 Governates. It is ruled by the Federal Parliament, but currently governed by a coalition government of the Libéraux de Mavranai and Social-Démocrate Front Blocs. The current Prime Minister is Charois Delleum. The Federal Constitution defines the Prime Minister as the 'Head of both State and Government for the Mavranai Federation'.

The land of Mavran was historically populated by a Yasic population, however constant exposure to Lysian culture, goods, ideas, law and society gradually formed several Yaso-Lysian Hybrid cultures, most notably Mavrois, Illieux and Farisian, in a process now known as 'Lysianisation'. When the Kingdoms of Illieux and Farisia collapsed during the Revolutions of 1804, a revolutionary fervour became engrained in the cultures of the populace, which is reflected in the highly-interventionist, pro-democratic stance of Mavran's foreign policy throughout it's existence. The 20th and 21st Century have seen the founding of the Federation, uniting Illieux and Farisia, as well as the steady rise and development of Mavran on the world stage, as well as the increase of Mavranai influence in it's local region. Recently, the Federation has been troubled by ethnic unrest amongst the Arbaromo populace, which is far more Yasic than many of the other cultures of the Federation.

Mavran is a somewhat developed country with a substantial economy, supported by a strong primary-industrial and manufacturing base. The federation is notable for its highly patriotic population, free-market economy, its reverence for its history and armed forces, and a keen interest in the ocean. Mavran is a regional influence and is a member of few multilateral organisations despite its interventionist stance, being a member state of the Assembled Nations.

Early 20th Century

Mavran emerged during the early 20th Century amidst a time of general optimism and hope for the future. Federalisation movements between Illieux and Farisia had grown massively since the beginning of the century, with the binational Lysolt party, which directly advocated for federal integration between the nations, entering government in 1922 and 1923 for Illieux and Farisia respectively. On 14 May 1924, the Mavranai Unity Referendum passed by a supermajority of 83% in favour of Federation, with a record total turnout of 95% of eligible voters. Unification talks would officially begin two months later and would conclude 14 May 1925, with the conclusion of the Federal Congress of Mavris and the signing of the Federal Mavranai Constitution of 1925. Mavran saw particular political turmoil from Sovereignist Political Action Groups (note: make page for Mavranai Sovereignist political organisations, include Parties and Groups)such as the All-Illieuxnai Independence Group or Vrina Firch Society, as well as Sovereignist political parties such as the Illieuxnai Bastion Party or Farisia Front. This culminated in the Farisian Naval Mutiny of 1926, and a Federal crackdown on Sovereignist organisations through the Order of Stability in late-1926. Sovereignist elements would remain politically active in Mavran for the rest of the decade and in the early years of the 1930's, before losing momentum with the rapidly rising legitimacy of the Mavranai government following the 1927 Federal Election and subsequent Federalisation intiatives implemented by Alexandre Fleur's government.

By the 1927 Federal Elections, most of the Mavranai population could and would listen to FMC radio programmes. Experimental television broadcasts began in 1933 and the first FMC Television Operation began in 1939. Significant progress was made at the time regarding minority discrimination, particularly sexual minority discrimination, with landmark decisions by the FCJ such as Morin v. Farisia. Additionally, socialist agitation grew massively, with the SDF and AST gaining large amounts of seats in Parliament. Left-wing ideology rapidly grew in Mavran throughout the late 1930's and much of the 1940's. Lys Maraud would face the fallout of the most significant scandal in Mavranai history upto that point with the public exposure to the Board of Steel Scandal, which rocked the SDF and led to the election of Delleu Mariocher. The Democratic Socialism of this time in Mavran is now widely-seen as Proto-Martinist, and fears of a transition to a fully socialist economy led to the narrow reelection of Alexandre Fleur to lead a Centre government before the First Argic War.

Mavran saw heavy military buildup during the latter end of the 1940's, with rapid military expansion in response to rising tensions in Argis. After Ahrana invaded Dniester in 1949, Mavran entered the First Argic War on the side of the Periphery Alliance. Alexandre Fleur created a new wartime emergency coalition government involving all Federal Blocs and became its head two months after the start of the war. Despite initial setbacks on the land fronts of the war, Mavran continued the war against the Central Argic Powers. Fleur engaged Mavran in a state of 'total war', taking emergency control over industry, science, engineering, and much of Mavranai life and the economy, in order to further the war effort. In 19xx, the Marine Fédérale (MF) and Force Aérienne Fédérale (FAF) inflicted decisive defeats on CAP naval and air forces in the Battle for the Mediargic. Mavranai shipping and naval logistics suffered heavy losses due to CAP submarine trade interdiction. There were eventual hard-fought victories along the southern Garindinan coast in the Battle outside Yuzhemore, the Battle of Ahrana, and the Dniesterian campaign. Mavranai forces played essential roles in the Yuzhemore landings which pushed the CAP towards a peace agreement, despite initial victories. The Armée Mavranai Fédérale (AMF) led the Raskia-Kauni campaign against Baltica, and the Mavranai Keel Fleet engaged Baltica at sea. (More to include about Baltica campaign (victory?) and nuclear weapons)

Late 20th Century

Mavran was greatly affected by the First Argic War. Immediately upon the dissolution of the Fleur Wartime Coalition, an emergency election was held, with the elected FMP's representing the shortest term in Mavranai history, with a special term of three years. Mavran would be rocked with political instability until Maurthim Pilliod's Mandate in 1967, with the country being strongly divided between left-wing and right-wing politics. During Pilliod's Mandate, Pilliod initiated a radical programme of reforms, which greatly impacted Mavranai society and Mavranai leftism in the following decades. Major industries, public utilities, and media were nationalised, a full welfare state was reestablished following its dissolution under Zeraufin, and a publicly-funded healthcare system, the Federal Health Service, was created. Mavran saw a much-heightened economic position, especially with its neutrality in the Second Argic War. Until the end of Gardin's caretaker-mandate and the coming to power of the Morn government, Mavran pursued much closer relations with left-wing nations globally, particular democratic socialist nations such as Advocatius.

Following the First Argic War, succeeding governments greatly encouraged immigration and streamlined processes, resulting in Mavran becoming more of a multicultural and multi-ethnic society in the following decades. Despite a rise in living standards under Pilliod's government, Mavran's economic performance was far less successful than many of its economic competitors in Argis. In 1970, a referendum on abolishing the minimum voting age barely failed to pass, with a vote 49.52% for and 50.48% against. In 1975, Pilliod's government collapsed following the failure to pass a divisive lowering of the military budget, leading to the collapse of the Grand Left Party. From the late 1970's onwards, Arbar began to suffer from communal and paramilitary violence conventially known as the Tumult. It is usually considered to have ended with the 2024 Nevris 'Arbar Conciliation' Agreement. Following a period of significant economic slowdown and strike action in the early 1980's, the Avant! government of the 1980's to 2000's led by Lionelle Morn, the Mavranai representative to the AN from 1973-1977 known prior for her efforts in the Mavranai bid for the ANDPO headquarters, initiated a radical policy of monetarism, deregulation of all sectors including labour markets, mass-privatisation, and a mass withdrawal of subsidies.

(Future footnote for western islands for planned expansion with Garindina. Involvement there) Mavran was significantly involved in the AN during the term of Adrien Maurice, the First Secretary of the Assembled Nations during the 1987-1993 term, with particularly significant involvement in regards to military action against the Alharun Slave Trade and humanitarian action against malaria. Mavranai involvement in the AN would largely fall after Adrien Maurice's descension from the role of First Secretary, however internationalist sentiment greatly spiked in Mavran during this time.

As the millennium ended, major changes erupted in Mavran, particularly mass digitalisation, the revival of the manufacturing industry, increased globalisation and massive implementations of austerity. Mavran remained a regional power in Argis, even as its standing began to gradually fall. Mavranai citizens began to change their opinions of foreign aid significantly, growing far more supportive of the idea following a rapidly successful media campaign by the organisation 'Humanitarians Without Borders'. Mavran entered the year 2000 under the government of Lionelle Morn, although Avant! leadership was growing increasingly unsure after a surprisingly close election between Morn and the SDF candidate Antoine Blair. Morn additionally alluded to potentially seeking closer relations with one of the global superpowers, a significant shift from earlier rhetoric of a 'third-world' Mavran.

21st Century

(mention things about Garindina? early democracy involvements)

The Great Europan Collapse partnered with the 2007 Banking Crisis led to the near complete collapse of the Mavranai economy. The fallout of the Great Europan Collapse had already severely affected the Mavranai economy, however partnered with the 2007 Banking Crisis, it led to a near complete collapse of the economy. The Coryn-Millieud coalition government prioritized significant government intervention in the economy, which is widely attributed to having saved it from complete collapse. In 2011 the Office of Financial Responsibility took the government before the FCJ in the case OFR v. Fédération Mavranai in which the FCJ ruled that the government is allowed to break the Third Amendment in the case of 'an emergency threatening the continued existence of the Federation'. It is hotly debated amongst economists whether the Mavranai economy ever truly recovered after the 2006-2007 Crisis', particularly as the economy continues to suffer from sluggish growth and chronic underfunding. A referendum on Arbaromo independence in 2015 failed to pass Federal Parliament, being defeated by one vote, 327-328, reigniting tensions in Arbar.

In 2020, ERHWA was established in Mavris, with national funding. The Grand War has slowed down Mavranai-Europan trade considerably, leading to a second economic shock, although new safeguards prevented a crisis on the level of the aftermath of the Great Europan Collapse. The 2021 Economic Crisis is largely seen as the jumping point from which Charois Delleum's 'Progressive New-Left' jumped off from, leading to his historic victory in the 2022 elections. Mavran has remained largely neutral on international affairs, with leadership consistently citing the economic turmoil of recent years as to why.
