Second United Commonwealth

United Commonwealth, also called II United Commonwealth due to it being a revival of a federation that existed between 824-908 ACA, is a federation of Korolian nations around the world.

Introduction - Brief History of I UC
First United Commonwealth was supposed to be an union of all Korolian nations around the world, it was formed in 824 ACA with Slout II and Lodomiera Korola marriage, but it was very dysfunctional, from overlapping memberships in other countries, to all member states conducting independent foreign affairs, it was a miracle that the first iteration of the United Commonwealth even survived it's 84 years of existence, it collapsed in 908 ACA after pressure from the 4th Bardonian Empire.

Founding
Founding voices are dated as far back as 977 ACA, when Nova Žemja regained independence from Rodinnbrok, when the Korolian Pact, being an economical-cultural bloc between NZ and Eastern Korolian Czardom was formed. However at that point, despite proposals of UC revival being thrown around, only an economical and cultural alliance was secured.

1000 Novožemjan General Election
A crucial step in United Commonwealth restoration was Nova Žemja's democratization in 1000 ACA, known as Reforms of 1000.

There were two major blocks competing for power: Progressive-National Union and Novozemjan Democratic Union's "sovereignity bloc" which was against the United Commonwealth for the reason that EKC at the time was closely tied to Simulami's influence zone, something PNU-NDU coalition wanted to avoid spilling over to Nova Žemja.

The other side was the United Commonwealth Restoration Party which believed that reforming United Commonwealth will be worth it despite the price of being tied to Simulami.

The results came out:

Party Name - Vote Percentage - Percentage of Seats in Ljudny Sejm:

United Commonwealth Restoration Party - 40.5% - 60%

Progressive National Union - 20.7% - 20%

Novozemjan Democratic Union - 19.8% - 20%

ManCorp Party - 9.6% - 0%

Dalerac Slavski-Shan (Independent) - 9.4% - 0%

With UCRP winning the election, UC revival came much closer than ever.

Reformation
In 1005 first gossips of Korolia (EKC) and Nova Žemja negotiating on reformation of UC came out.
