Falland, officially the Fallish Federation is a sovereign state in central Calesia on the southern coast of the Swarin Sea. Falland shares land borders with X in the east, X in the south and X in the west. It shares maritime borders with Waldrich and Valmut across the Swarin Sea in the north. Much of the south and west of the country is comprised of the Braelyne range, the majority of the country is mostly flat and sits on the Fallish plain. The country has an area of approximately 182,054 km2 (70,291 sq mi), with a population of 87 million. It is the most populated country in Calesia and the second largest in terms of land area behind Waldrich. Falland's capital and largest city is Sydenham.
The earliest evidence of early humans in Falland dates back to around 170,000 years ago and was that of the Homo X. Modern humans arrived in Falland around 40,000 years ago from the west. By the 5th millennium BCE, Falland was settled primarily by the Falko tribes, and would stay this way until the arrival of the Cambran Empire in 219 CE and the occupation of most of the region by 252 CE until their retreat during 5th century CE. In the aftermath, Waldic tribes from the Svalland settled in Falland, mixing with the native Falko people as a collection of violate kingdoms emerged in the region. Falland would be first united in 962 with the conquest of Ferland and the coronation of Albert I.

Etymology
History
Antiquity
Cambran rule
Middle ages
First Republic and Capron Restoration
- Angered by increasing corruption, unpopular royally appointed governments & a worsening economic state for the middle and lower classes. A popular revolution in 1850 forces the King to establish a proper constitutional monarchy and full universal male suffrage
- Emergence of the Liberal Party after suffrage enacted, successive liberal governments until 1858 when new king appoints his conservative uncle to PM and begins to roll-back some advances
- Subsequent revolution & Elizabeth Square Declaration which abolishes the monarchy, grants amnesty to the King but orders the imprisonment of the ex-PM
- Royal family flee abroad & declare new state illegitimate
- Ensuing war forces a monarchical restoration in 1858 although constitutional monarchy & universal male suffrage guaranteed
- Colonial expansion & empire
- Industrialism & economic powerhouse
- Liberal governments become increasingly pro-monarchy, rise of the Fallish Republican Party (FRP)
- FRP govt. in 1902 allied w/ left liberals, no parliamentary majority for an abolition but monarchy's popularity remains very low
- FRP ousted after colonial scandal & right Liberals + conservatives + nationalists restored to power
- Socialist Party (SP) foundation and electoral successes
- Foreign cause collapse of liberalism's support & rise of SP & FRP
- SP-FRP popular front, government & collapse due to Republican infighting
War Falland
- Far-right Fallish National Sydicalist Fatherland Party (FNSFP) elected in 1925 election, defeating the unpopular liberal government (FNSFP wins only about 20% of the popular vote but a majority of seats bc of a majority bonus system)
- FNSFP Prime Minister Thomas Peyton-Jones begins consolidating power, sidelining his conservative allies and banning the socialist party after a series of anti-govt riots
- Current monarch seeing Asplinism as a more agreeable form of Socialism & attracted to their militarist leanings assents to granting Parliament more powers and giving Peyton-Jones emergency powers
- FNSFP one-party Asplinist state declared, all opposition parties and trade unions are disbanded followed up with a sham election
- Irredentist foreign policy expanded upon and colonial reforms enacted loosening ties with some colonies
- Peyton-Jones is ousted by more radical politicians led by former editor and propaganda minister Edwin Bampfylde
- Bampfylde takes a hard-line expansionist ideology to distract from a faltering economy
- Any potential war turns into a protracted nightmare for Bampfylde who had hoped for a quick victory, Bampfylde takes over planning the war and assumes all war ministries + foreign affairs fearing a potential coup
- Harsh repression of growing opposition movement & govt. becomes more totalitarian
- Massive military defeat causes lines to collapse, major retreats and desertion as well as decimation
- King abdicates in favour of his sister who is placed under strict house arrest
- Bampfylde & leading government officials captured & Falland fully occupied after unconditional surrender
Contemporary period
- Fallish colonies either granted independence or become international mandates, Sydenham becomes a neutral internationally governed free city whilst Falland is occupied
- Elections to a constitutional assembly see right-wing Progressives (former civil servants etc) & liberals (former establishment) win a majority combined, position of the monarchy secured despite republican grumbling from FRP & SP (election results potentially interfered w/ by occupying powers who disliked the Fallish socialists & republicans for their perceived inability to prevent the FNSFP govt.
- Monarchy referendum passes narrowly although emboldens the Socialist Party who win the first Sydenham elections whilst Falland is still occupied
- Progressive-Socialist-Liberal-Republican national unity govt. created to provide a united front for independence, Sydenham rejoins Falland (neutrality enshrined in constitution)
- Braemablair Agreement allows for Fallish independence although enshrines neutrality & bans all but defensive military action
- Welfare state created by Socialist-Republican govt.
- Cultural community established w/ former colonies
- Economic recover (Miracle on the Kir)
- Return to the international stage
- Modern 'agreeable partner' foreign policy
- Low-birth rate, reliance on immigration & other modern problems
