Eyrollia and Sangoux soon emerged as the two largest states in Lyonia and in the early 19th century both had ultra-nationalistic leaders. A trade dispute between Sangoux and the small principality of Sainte Arroux led to the beginning of the Sangoux-Eyrollia War of 1802 which ended with the defeat of Eyrollia and Sangoux exercising hegemony over the remaining Lyonian states. Eventually, under Sangouese pressue, the Lyonian states met in the Aurifort Conference and a unified Lyonia with the Sangouese monarchy taking full control of the state.
Following the Aurifort Conference, political power was centred around Aurifort and the North's economic prosperity grew during the Industrial revolution whilst the south remained impoverished as more factories moved to the north. This eventually led to the 1867 Monpazier Rebellion when the city of Monpazier was occupied by protestors. The Monpazier Rebellion ended in failure as the army was sent in to quell the rebels. However following the rebellion the government agreed to reforms and factories were established in the south to try and remove some economic inequality.
In 1913 the country allied with the Central Alliance in the Great War. The country saw heavy fighting with Lavaria and naval combat with Albeinland but was eventually forced to surrender in 1916 after March Revolution and the storming of the Royal palace in Aurifort.
The monarchy was abolished and replaced with a Presidency and voting rights were granted to Women in 1917. Shortly after the establishment of the Presidency, the former royal family which had been under house arrest were released and pardoned however due to widespread anger and threats to their lives the monarchy fled to TBD. Following their release and combined with numerous other factors the Communist Party of Lyonia grew in popularity and in the 1921 Lyonian parliamentary election became the largest opposition party. The party along with other prominent opposition parties was banned in 1922 by the Government. Protests and riots soon turned into an organised rebellion and the government was deposed by a primarily Communist union. The April Revolution led to the expanding of civil liberties and the PCL forming a government.
The constitution was changed in 1925 which proclaimed Lyonia as a Communist worker's state and other parties were absorbed into the PCL. Camille de Verley was elected as the country's first communist President and established a Cult of personality around him. de Verley modelled Lyonia off the People's Republic of Dulebia. de Verley sought to modernise Lyonia by destroying symbols of the Monarchy, the Corrective Movement which lasted from 1935 until 1946 was a campaign to fully modernise Lyonian society and destroy class boundaries. de Verley died in 1946 ending the Corrective Movement. His successor Xavier Brosseau began reforming Lyonia and moved the country towards a more democratic, Berocommunist society.
Today Lyonia is one of the few communist states in Aurorum and has a democratic form of government. Communism is enshrined in the constitution as the guiding principle of Lyonia. Since the 1960s the country has been reaching out to non-communist regimes and today is a hub for tourism. The country has the xth largest economy and has one of the highest standards of living and one of the lowest income inequality rates
