Cklserolva

The Flag of Cklserolva since 152

Cklserolva (Officially: Republic of Cklserolva) was a Nation in the Western Balkavanians.

Etymology

The name Cklserolva originated from the name of the founding Royal Family - The Sokantelles. Upon settling what would become Cklserolva in -170, they named their new holdings Cosokantera (Land of the Sokants in Old Creisze Serolva). Over the years, it became shortened into Coskerolva (As the region developed its own dialect of Serolva, alongside much of the rest of the Western Balkavanians, the -era suffix morphed into the -olva suffix), and continued to morph, being recorded as Cskerolva under the First Charter of Monarchs in 4 MT, and finally reaching its final form as Cklserolva by the time that the Second Charter of Monarchs was signed in 43 MT.

History

Cosokantera Duchy

Colonised by The Kingdom of the Creisze & Marppesieux

Ethnic & Political Minority from old Continent (Sokantelle House)

Conquered ~1/2 of Northern Islanders

The First Criesze colonists arrived on the North Shore of what would later become Mainland Cklserolva in -170 MT, led by Viscount Marzio Sokantelle, who officially founded the Sokantelle Duchy the same year, with the blessing of King & Queen Gastier & Aesclas of the Kingdom of the Creisze & Marppesiux, making Marzio the first Sokantelle duke of Cosokantera.

The United Remna Dynasty (At that point controlled by the Annent Dynasty) declared their independence in -104, starting a 4 year war between the Creisze & Remnites, which the Shirenelle Duchy joined in -102. The Koverats & Sokantelles, although they did not rebel, refused to participate in the war, which would later cause a relative bond between all 4 Duchies.

The Cosokantera Duchy, as it grew in power & influence, began to attempt to reverse the power differential between themselves & the Homeland, and completely stopped paying Tributes in -72. Two years later, The Koverat Duchy would stop paying their tribute to the Homeland, and begin paying the Sokantelles. The Marriage of Princess Zatal of Cosokantera & Prince Guilhelm of Creisze in -50 was seen as the nail in the coffin, that would give the ailing Kingdom entirely over to Cosokantera Control, but the Great Western War (-48 - -39) entirely destroyed the Kingdom of the Creisze & Marppesieux, and set back the Cklserolvan Ambitions by years, as although it could be argued they had beat the NATION in the war, the effort they had to go through just to be in a level playing field, and the wasted resources they had spent attempting to defend the Homeland ruined their economy for years.

Cosokantera Kingdom

Following the widespread depression following the Great Western War, and the effective Destruction of the Kingdom of Creisze & Marppesieux, the Cosokantera Dukes declared the independence of the Cosokantera Duchy in -36, becoming the Cosokantera, and their Dukes & Duchesses into Kings & Queens.

Sokantelle House ruled completely until 004 (173 years & change), when the First Peasants Uprising overran the Royal Palace at Terbicato and formed the Cklserolva Peasants' Congress in Fortrionale, and King whatshisname had to sign the First Charter of Monarchs, creating the Brythuzia (Cklserolvan Parliament), who's first elections were held in 005. The Brythuzia met in Terbicato under the watch of the Monarch until 43.

During the 39 year period of mixed-rule, the Prime Minister held a largely ceremonial role, and Kings Gano ( X - 15) and Vano (15 - 43) used their powers liberally, prohibiting reforms, vetoing copious legislation, among other things. King Vano dissolved Brythuzia early on several occasions, attempting to remove leaders he did not like. However, despite attempting to grasp to power and limit the scope of the Brythuzia, the independence movement grew larger and stronger.

In 43, Prime Minister Mirka Doléskya's Majority Cklserolva Liberatis Government passed a round of legislation, prohibiting the Monarch from ordering Military or Security Forces without explicit Parliamentary Assent, in response to King Vano dispersing a Mining Strike in Fortrionale with the Army despite the Strike having been approved as Legal by Parliamentary Judges, and having been codified into law as a legal demonstration with the Kovo Iron Workers Strike Recognition Act, 43. The Army's strike-breaking resulted in 138 deaths, thousands of injuries, and 460 arrests, and caused widespread protests across the country. The Doléskya Government passed the Military Use Moderation Act, 43 in response. King Vano refused to read or recognise the Strike Recognition Act - meaning it never received Royal Assent - and explicitly vetoed the Military Act. Vano declared the Military Act an act of treason against him, and dissolved Parliament. Prime Minister Doléskya refused to recognize the dissolution of the Brythuzia, and they continued to meet in Fortrionale - a stronghold of anti-royal sentiment for decades. Vano ordered the Army to disperse the Brythuzia in its Exile meeting place, and arrest all Parliamentarians. Doléskya ordered the Army to arrest Vano instead, accusing him of "Disloyalty to the Cklserolvan People." The Military initially seemed disjointed and unsure of the response they should take, and the Standing Commander of the Cklserolvan Army requested legal documentation and defense for any actions he ordered his soldiers to take. Doléskya and the Cklserolva Libertas government produced the No Monarchs Act, 43 at breakneck pace. Satisfied that he had sufficient immunity under the Act, the General sided with the Parliament, and Vano was deposed and Arrested.

Republic of Cklserolva

In its initial Form, the Head of State and Government was unified in the position of Prime Minister, as most of the legal framework of the Cosokantera Kingdom was maintained. Prime Minister Doléskya used this to her advantage in the 20 years she ruled, with three consecutive Majority Governments following the declaration of the Republic of Cklserolva. Her popularity and extended control over the legal process allowed her to reshape the government system to her whim. The position she occupied, as a hyper-powerful Prime Minister, kept in check only by the Election Cycle, was unpopular due to its reminiscence of the Monarchs that they had just abolished, and she spent the 13 years she was in power over Cklserolva developing a new and adapted government system she felt was better suited to Cklserolva's new state.
