===Late Kingdom (1878 - 1910)===
===Late Kingdom (1878 - 1910)===
Modern Littish history begins with the Constitutional Revolt in 1878, where King Helge III was forced to accept the signing of a constitution or face what would amount to a coup, having his powers stripped from him. The Helge Constitution as it become known as was a system which heavily favoured richer and especially aristocratic landowners, by restricting who could vote by imposing a wealth requirement which only the rich could pass.

===Walter Regency (1910 - 1913)===
This changed as King Helge passed away from tuberculosis in 1910, without an heir of his own. While a regency was common practice for whenever the Littish throne was vacant while an heir was found, the Walter Regency became a de facto military junta as Walter Nordskov, a hardline conservative, sought to crush left-wing politics from Littland. He was met by a fanatical and armed left-wing youth, which escalated after Walter was assassinated in 1913 by an unknown perpetrator. The resulting power struggle narrowly avoided a civil war as a new constitutional assembly was called and the situation was sorted out by the first Prime Minister of Littland, Torsten Einarsen, a social democrat.

===Republic (1913 - Present)===
 
Ever since the economic stagnation in the early 90s the left-wing parties of Littland have been fighting each other more than the opposition, with many new parties splitting from old ones forcing the need of wide parliamentary blocs who aren't as unified as they themselves would like to think. Most noteworthy of these is the Littish Democrats in 2007 who won 25 seats in the Folkekammer in their first election, later forming the bloc The Progress List and grabbing power in the 2016 election.

Late Kingdom (1878 - 1910)
