Kłosevia

Kłosevia, officially the Federation of Kłosevia was a federation of many islands. It consisted of Ægir, Poedogia, Kilivaria, Regeneratio, Nowa Augolia and Laurenia; these states all were joined in one nation to form Kłosevia.

Pre-Federation
Prior to the federation, the states were all entirely different nations. Each viewed the other with apathy at best. There was little to no diplomatic relations between any of them. This all changed due to a variety of events that improved opinions and the efforts of the federation's patrons.

Diana Sea Treaty Organization
The DSTO was the first force that led to unification. It was a mutual defense pact between the UIÆ and Poedogia that lasted from 240 TE to 242 TE. Its articles allowed for free travel and even dual citizenship to their residents. This makes the treaty earliest positive interaction between any of the three states.

Furthermore, the treaty achieved a united army for the two militarily weaker nations. Both supplied rare war materials, supplies such as food, weapons and armor. All of it was under the joint management of several leaders. This council became the framework for Kłosevia's council.

Laurenian Threats
News came to the DSTO that Laurenia was "in the process of annexing Ægir". A soft panic rushed through the UIÆ's representatives as different courses of actions were discussed by the DSTO's council. Patron Magnus Westreec Extierieəs believed a peaceful option was entirely possible while patron Acral supported preparing for war. Both patrons saw the value in the separate strategies but in the end a diplomatic approach was decided upon.

Magnus contacted Laurenia's emperor, Fryderyk I, to ensure international stability. The talk was going well so Acral recommended that Magnus invite Laurenia to the DTSO. The ever-ambitious patron Fryderyk I proposed to instead create a united nation of the three. This was taken as a brilliant idea by all that would secure peace. Several private meetings between the federation's patrons were held soon after to discuss the possibility.

Unification Talks
Three representatives of the three nations were sent to these meetings. Talks included theoretical structures of government, the balance of federal and regional power, assurances of equal representation, the place of the noble families, and national identity. Suggestions turned into proposals which turned into agreed upon issues.

The most divisive topic of conversation was that involving power. The federation patrons feared too much of each other while desiring a little too much influence for their own regions. Two representatives from Ægir, patrons Dwyer Loreńsk and Cinder Rawadon, worked diligently to find compromises, ensure equality, and total unification. It was decided that the union would be led by a monarch that was restricted by a legislative council. However even once these things were passed there was long arguments about how they should be done. An official regency council was created to choose who would rule in late 241 TE. This was made up of two representatives from each of nation instead of three.

The Beginning of the Federation
A treaty was signed, resulting in the forming of the new federation. It was signed by every person considering unifications. Patrons Fryderyk I, Dwyer, and Magnus were nominated to be emperor of the federation. The three campaigned under the proposals they supported as well as development plans. Fredrich and Dwyer meet behind closed doors to run together as a dual monarchy. Eventually, Magnus decided to step down from candidacy, making Fryderyk I & Dwyer the emperors in dual monarchy for the federation. The two emperors each selected an advisor for themselves.

Many different people sought after the next highest position in the new government, prime minister. Three political parties were formed in hopes of shaping the new nation: The National Federalist Party, The Party for Confederation, and the Ambivalent Party. The federalists desired a centralized government with strong state representation and were naturally opposed by those who desired a looser alliance of states. While the ambivalents focused more on creating united development efforts. In the end the federalist won, making Magnus the first premier. He quickly set up a team of ministers, which he called the "Directorate". Many were from Poedogia and his personal friends, such as patrons Deep and Caboosifer, while a few others where political allies, like patron Cinder. The other two parties soon collapsed. Leaving Magnus' federalists with total government control besides the emperors.

Rise of the Monarchists
Emperor Fryderyk I personally invited a fledgling settlement known as Kilivaria into the federation. Whose leaders he adopted. These being Egr Lorensk and Some_Failure. Kilivarians quickly grew loyal to the federation. The new princes formed the monarchist party in hopes to extend their own influence. Political conversations shifted to being centered on the place of the monarchy in government instead of the level of centralization. The monarchists would later win all seats in parliament in the 252 election due to the federalist never submitting candidates. The government became very inactive after this as any proposals presented by Magnus and his ministers were ignored.

In response the federalists in Poedogia banned all other parties from its lands. While legal, the constitution did not protect any rights at this time, Minister Rawadon lead many federalists to abandon the party in protest. Poedogia repealed this action but most felt their political careers were now hopeless and did not return. The party was now even weaker and Poedogian leadership became disgruntled with the federation overall.

Restructuring
The tsars set into motion reforms to increase administration efficiency. This added guaranteed basic liberties to the national constitution. As well as formalized nobles titles, establishing a hard hierarchy under the total authority of the dual monarchy. In the process the reforms disregarded the democratic traditions of the states by placing the nobility in charge of regions and settlements. Everyone complained that their states were practically eradicated so a referendum was held in 258 TE that returned to the state based system while keeping the new bill of rights.
