The Chezian Wars of Independence, also known as the Great Nortuan War, were a series of conflicts across West and Central Nortua that lasted from 1806 until 1823 in various stages, fought between the Constantio Empire under Isidoros and a fluctuating array of Nortuan coalitions. The wars were marked by multiple revolutions and secessions from many territories of the Constantio Empire. The war began when imperial forces in Acdia massacred a crowd of demonstrators who were protesting a new tax on imperial subjects. News of the violent crackdown spread quickly across the empire thanks to fast-spreading communication like underground newspapers and the semaphore telegraph, and Isidoros ordered the military to clamp down on uprisings. Initially, most rebellions were sporadic and low-level clashes between crudely-constructed militias and local imperial forces, but by 1811 more professionally trained rebel armies were in open and widescale battles against the Constantioans, with regional governors also siding with the revolutionaries. The various rebellions did not always fight under a unified alliance, which prolonged the conflicts across the continent, but their intensity led to critical strains on the empire which left them spread thin and unable to operate as effectively as they had prior to the insurrections.

Fighting ended in 1823 with a peace negotiation in Coplesti, Artaska. Roughly three years later, Isidoros declared the dissolving of the empire on April 8th, 1827 with the Armistace of Gurikans. Upon the dissolution of the empire, Isidoros took his own life, passing the still united but fragile alliance of Constantio to his nephew, King Adonis Kalliadis. The period in between the end of the empire to the establishment of the Republic, the Council of Administrators were fraught with corruption and infighting as either establishment base attempted to sway the opinions of King Kalliadis.
