Etymology
History
Antiquity
Cambran rule
Middle ages
First Republic and Capron Restoration
The Elizabeth Square Declaration formally dissolved the Kingdom of Falland and established a democratic republic
- 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
