The Frasian Federation (German: Föderation Friesien) was a partially-unrecognised state in Central Ventismar from 1936-1942. The nation was created from the efforts of the fascist Steel Cross party to create an independent state from the Englean Empire, and existed as a one-party dictatorship until its dissolution in 1942. During the Second Great War, the nation was part of the Core and a close ally with the neighbouring Rezua. After the death of its first leader, Erwin van Treich in 1940, it became increasingly more authoritarian under the military dictatorship of Rouke S. Akkerman. This period became known as the "Dark Years," which saw the creation of concentration camps for those deemed "unworthy of the state." Upon liberation of the nation by the Englean Empire in 1942, the Frasian leadership either fled further into Rezua or were arrested by the Englean Imperial Navy. These individuals were subjigated to the Wurtzberg Trials, in which all but one were convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Akkerman and these individuals were executed by firing squad in 1947, and the nation was readmitted into the Englean Empire as the Viceroyalty of Frasia in 1948.
