The Second Arlyonish Republic (Arlyonish: La Second République) officially called the Federal Republic of Arlyon (Arlyonish: République fédérale d’d'Arliyon) was a historical state in Arlyon that existed from 1877 to its dissolution following the Treaty of Lehpold in 1917 in the aftermath of the Continental War. Starting its existence as a parliamentary federation by its dissolution it had devolved into a hybrid-civic military dictatorship.
The republic was declared in the Generals' Revolution, a popular coup d'état caused by large protests that deposed King Henri X and ended the "restoration", the monarchy that existed from 1814 to 1877. Bowing to popular demands and inspired by republicanism the provisional military cabinet drafted a constitution that created a federal republic based on a parliamentary model that was secular and liberal in character. The first elections in 1878 saw a republican majority elected with two parties, the centre-left Radical Republican Party and centre-right Popular Republican Party becoming the main two parties of the republic with the royalist right being completely discredited and socialist left thoroughly marginalised.
The republic maintained a consensus of liberal economics, fierce anti-clericalism and a relatively peaceful foreign policy at least compared to the jingoism of Henri X. The republic was internally however marked by tensions between established religion and secularists; demands from the socialists to implement more radical socially minded policies and most importantly the question of national unity, with the federal system as well as the status of minorities being hotly contested.
By the 1910's under the influence of nationalist strongman Étienne Chrétien the republic supported a more belligerent foreign policy aligning with Hytekojuznia and Hallania. At the start of the Continental War the republic initially were neutral but in 1911 Chrétien dissolved parliament, appointed a military-led cabinet and joined the war on the side of Hytekojuznia and Hallania. Arlyon's military was defeated by Cornicae and under the Treaty of Lehpold the republic was dissolved replaced with the April Monarchy in 1917.
