Fravina (French: Fravina), officially the Federal Republic of Fravina (French: République Fédérale de Fravina) is a country on the continent of Argis on the planet of Eurth.
Fravina is a semi-direct democratic federal republic, with three separate branches of government and a bicameral legislature, called the People's Council of Fravina. The nation's executive branch is headed by the president and four vice presidents, known as the Vice Presidential Council.
Etymology and Pronounciation
The name Fravina derives from the indigenous Frav People and the Frav word ina, which translates as river. The river in the name of Fravina refers to the Belle River.
History
Indigenous peoples and pre-colonial era
Europan colonization
Fravina was colonized by Lysia.
Independence
Fravina declared its independence from Fleur de Lys on 29 March 1765. Lead by Augustin Barbier, the First Fravi Revolution was won on 22 November 1771, when Fleur de Lys signed the Treaty of Lyrie, formally establishing the Republic of Fravina.
First Republic
The First Republic of Fravina had collected a large debt during its war for independence that it struggled to pay. The debt continued to increase during the Fravina Shipping Crisis of 1798, the Native Fravi Rebellions, and the Fravina Labour Strikes of the 1890s. By the late 1800s and early 1900s, Fravina suffered from corruption.
Civil War and Socialist Revolution
The Fravi Civil War (1896-1912) between the Indigenous Confederacy, Fravi Socialists, and the First Republic of Fravina. Beginning with the Proclamation of Indigenous Independence in October 1896, the war grew to include the Socialists when President Pierre Antier began persecuting the group in an attempt to stop the Socialists from expressing support for the Indigenous Confederacy. Despite intiail losses, the Republic won the war with the help of foreign powers intervening on the side of their side.
In the post-war period, Fravina struggled to rebuild with their even bigger debts. The struggles of the period emboldened the socilaist movement. Following the assassination of socialist politician Maxim Batton and the 1941 Suspension of Fravi Congress, riots broke out across the nation, beginning the Fravi Socialist Revolution (1942-1948).
The Socialists grew in size during the interim period, with indigenous groups and the lower classes joining the movement. This contributed to the socialist victory of 1948. The revolution unofficially ended in August 1948 with the Capture of Fort d'Olivier by General Jacque De Mercy, and it officialy ended in October 1948 the signing of the Treaty of Valensole.
Contemporary Fravina
The Second Republic of Fravina was formed on 15 October, 1948. Despite initial struggles with poverty, modernization and reforms in the late 1980s and 1990s saw an increase in the standard of living in Fravina. This success was largely accredited to Presidents Marie Boche and Pierre Blanchet.
