Up until the mid 15th century Afthonia was governed as an absolute monarchy under the hegemony of the Afthonian Empire. Afthonia has historically been regarded as one of the breadbaskets of the continent due to its vast fertile lands that supported a strong agriculture industry. The Empire eventually collapsed in 1402 due to a combination of factors ranging from inter-ethnic tensions alongside economic and succession crises. Until the early 19th century the various Afthonian states vied for dominance over one another, exerting their influence both within fellow Afthonian states and abroad. The largest and mower powerful of these states established a network of trade outposts across the world, some of which continue to remain as part of Afthonia's overseas Special Administrative Territories. Previously dormant separatist movements in the nation took advantage of the instability and seceded from the Empire, fragmenting the country further. In an attempt to preserve the nation, leadership elements of the armed forces established an emergency military government and declared the reformation of the Empire into the Greater Afthonian State (GAS). The civil war also involved neighboring countries who supported one of the myriad of factions that fought for control of the country and in some cases, took advantage of the chaos to arrange one-sided trade negotiations for weapons in exchange for the country's natural resources. The war brought upon a long period of stagnation to the country until the war concluded in 19XX with the GAS emerging victorious. Through time the emergency military government gradually returned its powers to a civilian government though the military’s long rule has had long term social and political ramifications with the lines between civilian and military authority easily blurred.

The return of stability alongside the discovery of liquified natural gas reserves has allowed the country to gradually rebuild its industry and economy and has returned to be one of the continent’s agricultural hubs alongside thriving engineering & manufacturing sectors.
