PRE-20TH CENTURY STUFF TBD

Following independence, tensions rose within the country, fueled by rising political and economic inequality faced by the Non-Dellish population. The Great War brought a temporary end to the tensions as the country was occupied by Gaullica. Following the end of the Great War, reforms were introduced transitioning Alsland into a federal system and most nationalist support fell off between the 1940s and 1960s. Alsland joined the Euclean Community in 1955

Alsland is a liberal democracy with a mixed market economy; Alsland's welfare state also provides subsidised Education and Healthcare. The country is a member of the Euclean Community and the Community of Nations. The country is considered to have a 'very high' and has a High average income.
