This is a history of the [[Hveden Federation]]. It is sometimes broken into five major periods: the '''Lothyran period''' (2339{{En dash}}2360); the '''Honeymoon period''' (2360{{En dash}}2392); the '''Corruption period''' (2392{{En dash}}2440); the '''Transition period''' (2440{{En dash}}2495); and the '''Modern period''' (2495{{En dash}}present). Prior to the union, a very decentralised union ran primarily by Kusfeldic elite, known as the Vaiyan Union, controlled much of modern day Hvede. |

The [[Kingdom of Kusfeld]] would expand across the northern steppe of southeast [[Alaxia]] across the medieval period, conquering major countries such as the [[Duchy of Nacrilia]], and the [[Duchy of Dazulia]]. The kingdom had conquered several imperial possessions, such as the remote Kleinergette islands, several settlements and outposts to the south and east, and several partnered dukedoms in the continent's interior, for over two hundred years. Kusfeld had significant influence outside of their own country, with their royal family having control over several neighbouring countries in the regional, with a significant number of their elites speaking Kusfeldic, or believing in [[Hvalleism]]. Across the lands of present day Hvede, Kusfeldic became a lingua franca for those conducting trade. |
||
Growing anti-Kusfeld sentiment grew across the late 2100s to 2200s with several major movements keeping the language and culture alive. Because of Kusfeldic decentralisation and feudalism, a lot of the Dazulian and Nacrilian land had not been oppressed harshly. Eventually, the government of Kusfeld became more nationalistic and wanted to spread Kusfeld ideas and support of the government across the government, especially after several rebellions in southern Kusfeld threatening the government. After the 2278 Hweins famine, the government ordered noble lords in Nacrilia and Dazulia to pay tax to the central government in a percentage of their grain supply, to which they did not oblige. [[Freinz II of Kusfeld|King Freinz II]], who had only been crowned in 2276, wanted a way to show his power. The [[4th Duke of Orbogne]] and the [[6th Duke of Greusorte]] were particularly upset with the Kusfeld government, being close to the border, and refused to give up anything as they had also been affected by the famine. The government of Kusfeld rallied several loyal dukes and ordered the invasion of disloyal dukes with the prize of their money being taken. This led to the [[Grain War]] lasting from 2279 to 2280, and saw over 10,000 deaths. In the aftermath of the war, Kusfeld strengthened it's power over the minorities within the nation by introducing several laws aimed at populating these areas with Kusfelds. This has resulted in several million Kusfeldic peoples living there in present day, with several majority Kusfeld cities in key areas. |

King Freinz II died in 2282, and his brother [[Freinz III of Kusfeld|Freinz III]] took over. Starting in 2283, Kusfeld began the process of Kusfeldification by purging important Dazulian nobles to assert dominance in the elite. At first, this was quietly seizing dukedoms if a duke had no true heir or had a conflict in inheritance. In others, dukes were framed as being disloyal and removed, and some just had their lands partitioned. In 2284, the [[Duke of Torrad]] and the [[Duke of Oselyia]] were targeted for their incredibly large chunks of land. They realised that the King was after their land and announced a secession and the proclamation of the [[Kingdom of Dazulia]], with the Duke of Torrad being proclaimed [[George I of Dazulia|King George I]]. This entity existed from 2284 until 2288, when it was invaded in the [[Torrad War]]. George I was deposed in early 2289, and his lands fully incorporated into Kusfeld, while the Duke of Oselyia was forced into exile in [[Matkalvina]] while his lands were partitioned and given to his eldest son, the [[Duke of East Oselyia]]. |
|||
=== Second Coalition === |
|||
{{Main|Second Coalition|War of the Second Coalition}} |
|||
During the Beletharian Wars, [[Ceironia]] feared the expansion of [[Lothyran]] and its revolutionary ideas following its [[War of the First Coalition|victory over]] the [[First Coalition]] in 2332. It invited many east Alaxian countries to a [[Second Coalition]], including Kusfeld. Kusfeld aided with small expeditionary forces to other coalition partners such as [[Ahitereira]] or [[Ionaea]], but saw passive involvement in the conflict. In 2339, famous commander [[Ralda]] entered into Kusfeld with the [[Grand People's Army]] of 400,000 men, while the [[Radzgau Strategic Services International|RPA mercenary group]] aided them. The Kusfeldic military was not equipped, trained, or in strong enough numbers, to hold off against the invaders and after the significant [[Battle of Taptestadt]] in September 2339, in which the Kusfeldic army suffered casualties of fifty percent, the Kusfeldic government signed an instrument of surrender. Before Lothyran occupiers could arrive at the capital, [[2339 Kusfeldic anti-surrender revolts|numerous revolts]] began in [[Hweins]] against the royal family and the government for their surrender. The [[Monarchy of Hvede|royal family]] fled to Empherias where they had relatives on the throne. |
|||
The incorporation of the intermediary lands between Kusfeld and the Lavafields took place during the 2280s and 2290s and were rife with political issues. In [[Ghosjia]], the Kusfeldic government fought the [[Ghosjian War]] between 2287 and 2292 but succeeded eventually in conquering the lands who were previously very rebellious. In [[Enseid]], the government fought just one battle, the [[Battle of Balegerung]], against the [[Duke of Prinscount]] in 2290. The incorporation of [[Begselia]], [[Sletteria]], and [[Slicia]], went relatively smooth and were all incorporated by 2293, but several revolts take place such as the [[2296 Begselia revolt]], and the [[2297 Slicia revolt]], when native populations were upset with Kusfeld migration. |
|||
=== Treaty of Flautijs === |
|||
The [[Prime Minister of Kusfeld|prime minister of Kusfeld]], Fritz Wentzel, would on behalf of the government accept an embarrassing peace agreement known as the [[Treaty of Flautijs]] in November 2339 which would make the removal of the monarchy permanent with the formation of a republic. The treaty also stipulated that the government would hand over the equivalent of $3 million, permanent Lothyran military access, the adoption of the [[Lothyran currency]], the merging of the Kusfeldic fleet with the Lothyran Grand Navy, and the dismantlement of the Vaiya Agreement - in effect, releasing all vassal states such as Dazulia and Nacrilia as independent nations. |
|||
In 2302, Freinz III would die and be succeeded by his son [[Freinz IV of Kusfeld and Vaiya|Freinz IV]]. In 2305, Kusfeld signed the [[Vaiya Agreement]], creating the [[Vaiyan Union]]. It would link all countries involved into a unified foreign policy and hierarchy, recognising Freinz IV as their true overlord, although with huge amounts of autonomy. Dazulia, Nacrilia, major portions of the lava corridor, all Eastern vaiyan colonies, and some other countries in the area would sign in 2305. By 2332, the majority of smaller independent states in the southwest, and southern areas, would sign. |
|||
Ralda's forces had other things to do than stay and occupy Kusfeld, and so they left to go on other missions - with a small contingent of 40,000 men to enforce their treaty. The Kusfeldic government would officially form the [[Hveden Republic]] on 13 November 2339, abolishing the monarchy formally. Treaty stipulations such as the adoption of the currency, military access, and the fleet merge, were carried out with relative ease. The Vaiya Agreement was formally dismantled on 25 April 2340 after pressure from the [[2340 Dazulian revolts|March Dazulian revolts]]. However, the states were not free from Hveden control. The dukes who controlled the new Duchies across the continent were all the ones previously appointed by the Hveden government and were sympathetic to the Hveden government. By December 2340, all former Vaiyan Agreement members had re-affirmed an alliance or personal union with Hvede. This de-facto meant that these countries acted as provinces within the new federation despite not de-jure being so. |
|||
== The Vaiyan Union (2305{{En dash}}2339) == |
|||
Fritz Wentzel declared himself the first [[President of the Hveden Federation]] on 13 November 2339 and would maintain control until the [[2341 Hveden Federation elections|first elections]] under the new constitution implemented could take place on 30 May 2341. This first general election would elect a National Assembly, a chamber with 681 seats, roughly proportional to population. Whereas, the upper chamber, the State Assembly, would elect 1 senator per province. The president would be elected via STV. Fritz Wentzel ran for re-election, while just four parties would run. The Federalists, a new party based on republican ideals, would rival the incumbent Unitarians and National parties. The Libertarian Party would also run. |
|||
Freinz IV's main legacy was the signature of the Vaiya Agreement in 2305. By 2332, the majority of smaller independent states in Vaiya had signed up to the union. |
|||
== Lothyran period (2339{{En dash}}2360) == |
|||
=== Hegemony Document and independence === |
|||
In 2360, the Lothyran central government issued the [[Hegemony Document]] which laid out the future of vassal states. The Hveden Federation was given total independence with the retreat of all Lothyran administrative and military positions by January 2361, with only the Lothyran central bank and currency remaining. The republican government in Hvede supported this measure in full. In 2375, the former ruler of [[Lazar]] returned to their throne and formed the [[Third Coalition]] against Lothyran, which caused Lothyran to ask Hvede for aid. The republican government, while sympathetic to Lothyran and its ideology, did not believe that Lothyran would last much longer and feared that it was too far away to make any meaningful difference, and thus stayed out of the war. With the end of the Beletharian Wars in 2388, the Hveden government would make a transition away for republican ideology. |
|||
== Honeymoon period (2360{{En dash}}2392) == |
|||
The first reform post-Lothyran would be away from the currency and central bank with the establish of the [[Bank of Hvede]] in 2390, and the creation of a new currency later that year. The monarchy would officially return to Hvede after an absence of 54 years, in 2393. The [[Coronation of Charlotte V of Hvede|official coronation]] took place on 1 December 2393, establishing the Hveden Federation as a constitutional monarchy under [[Charlotte V of Hvede|Empress Charlotte V]]. The republican style of government would remain though. |

This is a history of the Hveden Federation. It is sometimes broken into five major periods: the Lothyran period (2339–2360); the Honeymoon period (2360–2392); the Corruption period (2392–2440); the Transition period (2440–2495); and the Modern period (2495–present). Prior to the union, a very decentralised union ran primarily by Kusfeldic elite, known as the Vaiyan Union, controlled much of modern day Hvede.
Kingdom of Kusfeld (pre 2305)[edit | edit source]
The Kingdom of Kusfeld would expand across the northern steppe of southeast Alaxia across the medieval period, conquering major countries such as the Duchy of Nacrilia, and the Duchy of Dazulia. The kingdom had conquered several imperial possessions, such as the remote Kleinergette islands, several settlements and outposts to the south and east, and several partnered dukedoms in the continent's interior, for over two hundred years. Kusfeld had significant influence outside of their own country, with their royal family having control over several neighbouring countries in the regional, with a significant number of their elites speaking Kusfeldic, or believing in Hvalleism. Across the lands of present day Hvede, Kusfeldic became a lingua franca for those conducting trade.
Growing anti-Kusfeld sentiment grew across the late 2100s to 2200s with several major movements keeping the language and culture alive. Because of Kusfeldic decentralisation and feudalism, a lot of the Dazulian and Nacrilian land had not been oppressed harshly. Eventually, the government of Kusfeld became more nationalistic and wanted to spread Kusfeld ideas and support of the government across the government, especially after several rebellions in southern Kusfeld threatening the government. After the 2278 Hweins famine, the government ordered noble lords in Nacrilia and Dazulia to pay tax to the central government in a percentage of their grain supply, to which they did not oblige. King Freinz II, who had only been crowned in 2276, wanted a way to show his power. The 4th Duke of Orbogne and the 6th Duke of Greusorte were particularly upset with the Kusfeld government, being close to the border, and refused to give up anything as they had also been affected by the famine. The government of Kusfeld rallied several loyal dukes and ordered the invasion of disloyal dukes with the prize of their money being taken. This led to the Grain War lasting from 2279 to 2280, and saw over 10,000 deaths. In the aftermath of the war, Kusfeld strengthened it's power over the minorities within the nation by introducing several laws aimed at populating these areas with Kusfelds. This has resulted in several million Kusfeldic peoples living there in present day, with several majority Kusfeld cities in key areas.
King Freinz II died in 2282, and his brother Freinz III took over. Starting in 2283, Kusfeld began the process of Kusfeldification by purging important Dazulian nobles to assert dominance in the elite. At first, this was quietly seizing dukedoms if a duke had no true heir or had a conflict in inheritance. In others, dukes were framed as being disloyal and removed, and some just had their lands partitioned. In 2284, the Duke of Torrad and the Duke of Oselyia were targeted for their incredibly large chunks of land. They realised that the King was after their land and announced a secession and the proclamation of the Kingdom of Dazulia, with the Duke of Torrad being proclaimed King George I. This entity existed from 2284 until 2288, when it was invaded in the Torrad War. George I was deposed in early 2289, and his lands fully incorporated into Kusfeld, while the Duke of Oselyia was forced into exile in Matkalvina while his lands were partitioned and given to his eldest son, the Duke of East Oselyia.
The incorporation of the intermediary lands between Kusfeld and the Lavafields took place during the 2280s and 2290s and were rife with political issues. In Ghosjia, the Kusfeldic government fought the Ghosjian War between 2287 and 2292 but succeeded eventually in conquering the lands who were previously very rebellious. In Enseid, the government fought just one battle, the Battle of Balegerung, against the Duke of Prinscount in 2290.

In 2302, Freinz III would die and be succeeded by his son Freinz IV. In 2305, Kusfeld signed the Vaiya Agreement, creating the Vaiyan Union. It would link all countries involved into a unified foreign policy and hierarchy, recognising Freinz IV as their true overlord, although with huge amounts of autonomy. Dazulia, Nacrilia, major portions of the lava corridor, all Eastern vaiyan colonies, and some other countries in the area would sign in 2305. By 2332, the majority of smaller independent states in the southwest, and southern areas, would sign.
The Vaiyan Union (2305–2339)[edit | edit source]
Freinz IV's main legacy was the signature of the Vaiya Agreement in 2305. By 2332, the majority of smaller independent states in Vaiya had signed up to the union.
