Background
The process of Marienberger integration into Vionna-Frankenlisch had been a long and politically controversial one. By 1910, Marienberg's independent political bodies had been abolished and the Princedom was granted seats in the House of Commons and its aristocracy were permitted to the House of Nobles. This caused a period of instability and unrest in Marienberg but this subsided over the course of the Great Cornellian War with the only incident of note being a series of minor risings that were put down in 1916. Over time, the changes to the Marienberger political scene had the unintended effect of creating a melting pot of various parties and ideals. The old political bodies in Marienberg had been both corrupt and closed to any groups outside of the ruling Liberal Merchant Party and the National Conservative Party, which served as a controlled opposition. The collapse of the old political elite in the Princedom and the new representation available to perviously outlawed political groups permanently shifted the balance of Marienberger politics away from the center and by 1950, half of the seats in the Marienberger State Diet (a kind of local legislature) belonged to radical parties from both the left and right.
