Name
The name Fichmanistan derives from the Spovman king Fichman I who ruled during the 14th century. The name for the country was agreed to by King Robert I of Spovmanistan and King John I of Rifzid in 1862 during the Union talks.
History
The land that is today apart of Fichmanistan was settled between 4,000 BCE and 4,500 BCE. The first kingdoms emeged in the 500's with the kingdom of Une and the kingdom of Meaux. Both kingdoms fell before the turn of the 10th century and no other major kingdom emerged for another 300 years. A collection of countys, principalitys The Kingdom of Fichmanistan was founded in the summer of 1701. The state was created after the Union of Spovmanistan with Rifzid in 1701. The monarchy held absolute control over the country until 1921 although in practice a monarch hadn’t interfered in politics since 1845. The King in 1921 was king John IV, and when the constitutional amendment to restrict his power was passed he welcomed the legislation. In 1932 King Robert II began his rule. Robert was a very different man then his uncle, as Just a year into his reign he abolished the parliament and the position of Prime Minister. This was a breach of the 1921 constitution amendment. The people were outraged and in the spring of 1934 they launched a revolution. The leader of the revolution was a man named John Arnold, who after winning the two year war named himself president for life. While alive he set up a presidential republic, with the president being head of government, state and the armed forces. John Arnold died in 1948 and was replaced by his Vice President: Éamon O'Beirne, who set up term limits and organized elections. The Monarchy was again established in 2021 after a referendum, and quickly abolished by July of the same year. In September 2021 The presidential republic became the parliamentary republic with MHP Malcolm Cavanah becoming Fichamnistan's first Prime Minister in nearly 100 years.
