The history of the Hveden Federation.

Kingdoms before Hvede

Kingdom of Kusfeld

Main article: Kingdom of Kusfeld

The Kingdom of Kusfeld would expand across the northern steppe of southeast Alaxia across the medieval period, conquering major countries such as Dazulia and Nacrilia. It would spread the Faldmen religion alongside the Kusfeldic language as the imperial lingua franca, and would colonise the Vaiyan lands in the southeast, setting up hundreds of Kusfeldic settlements on the coast. Revolts from Dazulians and Nacrilic peoples in large amounts in 2305 forced the signing of the Vaiya Agreement. This document would set up regional dukedoms with local assemblies to give regions with minorities their own decision-making while under Kusfeldic foreign policy and military enforcement. Several remaining smaller independent nations in the east would be coerced into joining this arrangement by 2332.

The Beletharian Wars

Main article: Beletharian Wars

Second Coalition

Main articles: Second Coalition and War of the Second Coalition

During the Beletharian Wars, Ceironia feared the expansion of Lothyran and its revolutionary ideas following its 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 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, numerous revolts began in Hweins against the royal family and the government for their surrender. The royal family fled to Empherias where they had relatives on the throne.

Treaty of Flautijs

The 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.

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 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.

Fritz Wentzel declared himself the first President of the Hveden Federation on 13 November 2339 and would maintain control until the 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, advocating for the rights of minority groups and exterior and autonomous provinces and kingdoms.

Fritz Wentzel, the incumbent president, would agree to hold a presidential election on the same day as elections to the National and President's Assemblies. He set this day to be 30 May 2341, and would dissolve the current assemblies to begin campaigning on 1 May 2341, allowing only just a 29-day campaign. During the presidential election specifically, only two candidates ran and thus the intended mechanism of a run-off election for the top two candidates was unnecessary. Wentzel specified prior to the election that the presidential term would be 6 years, and thus the next election would take place in 2347; while elections to either chambers would take place every 3 years, with the next in 2344. This would allow a mid-term election to the chambers while elections would still take place to the chambers every presidential election. No term limits were set.

Wentzel's campaign did relatively poorly as he was seen as a continuation of the old regime that lost the Beletharian Wars and had ruled Hvede for decades. People wanted a change to the status quo and supported the opposition Federalist candidate Alessand Braune who advocated for new republican ideals brought on by Lothyran's occupation. Braune would win 68% of the popular vote, nearly 2 million votes, and would be elected president. Braune would take office immediately after the vote counting finished.

In the President's Assembly, 130 seats were contested with 1 senator per seat. For this election, FPTP would be used, and not STV. Of these, the Federalist party won 55 seats, a plurality but not outright majority. The Libertarians surprisingly came in second with 41 seats, while the incumbent National party would win 34 seats. Despite being represented by senate seats in the assembly, certain areas of the country such as the deep south, the inland parts of the eastern coast, Vaiya, and in some circumstances Matkalvina and it's greater regions in the southwest, were not technically incorporate into the Hveden Federation. Some areas were de-facto independent or only part of Hvede through the 2340 Incorporation Agreements. Therefore, voter turnout was extremely low in these areas, possibly aiding the huge Libertarian landslide. The Libertarians stood on a manifesto of liberalism and independence, while the Federalists wished for federalism and to impose federal rules on them - although advocating for some autonomy; while the National party advocated for centralisation and favourability to Kusfelds. In some circumstances, such as in the Lavafields, the winning candidate won less than 500 votes. No independents or Unitarian party candidates won any seats - or even came second in any potential seat.

In the National Assembly, 681 seats were contested with various numbers of seats per province. Federalists won 286 seats, the Nationals won 234 seats, the Libertarians won 129 seats, the Unitarians won 29, and there were 3 independents who won seats: in the Lavafields, the Skutgardte Islands, and Mohngelia. Federalists received a plurality, but not an outright majority in the chamber.

After the election, many Federalists and Libertarians believed both parties had similarities and wanted to reach the same goals. In July, the parties signed the 2341–2342 Federalist–Libertarian electoral coalition. This meant that in the President's Assembly, the coalition held a combined 415 seats (60.93%), a majority of 148, while in the National Assembly, the coalition held a combined 96 seats (73.85%). This gave the coalition great power to achieve their aims.

In 2342, the Libertarians and Federalists merged to create the Federal Liberal Party. However, while the vote was agreed internally by the Federalists, the Libertarian elite did not hold a party-wide vote, and many Libertarians left to form a new Libertarian party.

Alessand Braune would begin by selecting prominent federalist and libertarians to prominent positions. He promoted Lothyran and republican sympathisers more heavily. Klemens Freitag was selected as Braune's vice president due to his history as a famous backbencher under Kusfeld. Fen Sven Garr, an officer in the Lothyran army who had served in high ranks under Ralda's army to invade Kusfeld, was appointed the Foreign Minister. Pascal Vogelstein became Finance Minister. Wilhelm Riederer became Leader of the President's Assembly, and Kasper Lieblein became Leader of the National Assembly. Yasmina Apel was appointed simultaneously the Minister of Kusfeld and the Prime Minister of Hvede, the first woman to hold this position.

The mid-terms for the first Braune term took place in 2344 and would test the Federal Liberal party, and the New Libertarians. Despite the merge, the Federal Liberal party only won 5 more seats than usual for a Federalist party, but the New Libertarians did win 11 less seats than usual in the President's Assembly. The New Libertarian Party refused to work with the Federal Liberals after the coalition, and thus the Federal Liberals were forced to accept a minority government for the remaining 3 years of Braune's first term, with just 44.62% of seats controlled by the government. The Nationals were pleased, gaining 3, while 3 traditionally Federal Liberal seats in the southwest flipped to local independents in the seats of Waldermenia, Methen and Gerna, and Reincreig.

In the National Assembly, the Federal Liberals faired much better. They gained 42 seats from the regular Federalist result, while the New Libertarians were down 43 from that achieved of the Libertarians in 2341. This gave the government 328 seats, still short 23 seats of an overall majority, controlling just 48.16% of seats. The Nationals gained just two seats, and the Unitarians lost 1. Overall, not much changed in this election from that of the 2341 election outcome - but the chances of any coalition was ruined. Following this election, Riederer would step down as Leader of the President's Assembly and was replaced by Hans Weitzmann on 1 January 2345.

The strategy of the Federal Liberals going into the 2347 elections was to win as many Libertarian-held seats as possible. They would do this by introducing many reforms that would benefit the southern provinces. For example, the 2345 Minority Protection Act would give all peoples there regardless of heritage the protection of equal citizenship with Kusfeldic people. The 2346 Consolidation Act would incorporate several provinces in the interior of the eastern coast, giving their provincial governments more autonomous powers. Another way was to discredit the Libertarians and delegitimise their campaign.

The 2347 presidential election was the first time that 3 candidates would run for president. Alessand Braune ran for re-election to a second term for the Federal Liberals. Fritz Wentzel wanted to try another attempt at winning, but he only received a third of the votes last time and could not attempt again. Wentzel hand picked his successor as the National party candidate: Otto Berkel, a current senator for Karnaya. The Libertarians would field a candidate, hoping to deadlock the presidency and force Braune to accept concessions. The Libertarian candidate was senator for Isteic, Elsert De Wit. Braune won a second term with 56% of the vote. No second round was necessary.

Braune would begin his second term with his first presidential visit to Empherias, meeting former Prime Minister and current Leader of the Opposition Alice Rusbridge in July 2347. Wyatt Rory-Wells, the incumbent prime minister, was pretty upset that he was snubbed in favour of the opposition leader, which soured relations between the two countries. However, the economy was doing relatively well during this term, and several reforms took place.

The strategy of the Federal Liberal party was to take advantage of several conflicts in the south to gain Libertarian-held seats, and continue their discrediting of their party's principles by providing a valid alternative. Their strategy in the north was to take advantage of Braune winning re-election and the current great economic growth due to their liberal reforms and ties to Lothyran. The National party was still in scrambles after losing two consecutive presidential elections and didn't quite know a winning strategy. They attempted to weaponize Kusfeldic dislike of certain minority groups to win seats in the north, and by providing a more conservative side to people on the fence. The New Libertarian strategy was to promise increasingly far-fetched ideas of independence, separation, minority supremacy, and sometimes used messaging that was hypocritical and against other messaging they used elsewhere. They also attempted to win back seats held by Southern Independents, particularly in the Waldermenia province.

After the election ended, it saw considerable success for the Federal Liberals, endorsing Braune's continuing agenda. This included a significant number of Libertarian seats in the southern regions. However, in places like Waldermenia and Reincreig, independents still performed extremely well. In the northwest, the National party performed well. After the election, the National party shifted from a Kusfeldic-centered policy engine to one that included more minorities such as the Matkalvins and the Dazulians in order to be more inclusive.

In November 2350, the Terasi peoples in the southwest, especially those in the province of Ligteras, revolted in large amounts. They believed that under the Lothyran documents, they had the rights to self-determination and they wished to unite with the Terasi in Ahitereira too. The governor of Ligteras, a Federal-Liberal politician, Isaac Apel, fled to Hweins in early December. Braune was forced to ask for help from Ralda's forces and the Lothyran central command due to a lack of units. In response, Lothyran allowed for the creation of a significant army under command of the Hveden government as long as it had a large amount of Lothyran guidance. This allowed Braune to conscript 50,000 men in the Hveden Federal Republican Army (HFRA) by January 2351. By this point, forces in Ligteras numbered 22,000 various people and they had captured nearly the whole province. In February 2351, Ligteras issued a declaration of independence, creating the Republic of Terasi Ligt. By April 2351, the HFRA had marched down to Matkalvin to await an invasion. Ahitereira had too condemned the independence and had put down similar revolts on their side of the border. The ensuing Terasi Ligt War saw the HFRA win out against the smaller militia by June 2351. Several leaders of the republic were tried for treason. Isaac Apel was reinstated as the governor of Ligteras. Overall, 3000 men died in the conflict.

Some provinces, such as those in the south, were worried that a Kusfeldic dominated party could put down any rebellion they wanted and prevent the freedom of many minority groups with brute force. The National party promised the creation of individual state militia's if they were elected but many saw this as going against the rule of Lothyran too. The Federal Liberal defended the action as preserving the state. Some were very concerned that only semi-incorporated and unclaimed regions, such as the southern Frostlands, or the Vaiyan interior, could be absorbed by the army.

In 2352, a new protest in Sarmenia took place - although never claiming to want independence, just more freedoms. Sarmenia is situated on the other side of the basalites and thus the only way through to there was to travel through either Ahitereira to Empherias to Sarmenia from the west, or from Palakkinen from the east. Sarmenia therefore claimed that they rarely received benefits from the government. This riot, with help from Liberal prime minister Rusbridge in Empherias, was promptly put down violently.

After the previous election, the National party shifted from Kusfeldic-centred policy to a more inclusive environment to win votes of the Matkalvines and Dazulians. The National party promised to implement state-specific militias to be controlled by state governors to curb federal power - but many thought this would be illegal under Lothyran's system. After twelve years in office, Braune was considering retiring and giving away the position. His decrease in approval following the Terasi Ligt War and the Sarmenian Revolt of 2352 saw him officially back out of the presidential election.

Hans Weitzmann, the Leader of the President's Assembly of the Federal Liberal party, was nominated as the Federal Liberal candidate in January 2353 and began campaigning soon after. There were other nominations, but none gained as significant traction. For the Nationals, they truly believed that they could the election and wanted to put forth a significantly qualified candidate to unite minority votes nationwide. Therefore, they chose a Kusfeldic-Nacrilian candidate, a National Assembly representative for Graans, Thorsten Herzig. The New Libertarians wanted to run a candidate, but advised against it after poor showing and terrible results in previous elections. Therefore, they wanted to focus on growing their power in both chambers first. Thorsten Herzig won the vote with 52.3% to Weitzmann's 47.7%, which saw the National candidate be elected for the first time in Hveden history, and the first National president since Wentzel in 2341.

In both chambers of parliament, the National party won a significant majority, allowing them to have free reign on passing laws. Herzig didn't want to be too hasty though and admitted privately that his promise of implementing state militias would prove difficult to implement. Disagreements with Lothyran on certain policies saw the Lothyran outpost threaten to occupy the provincial governments of several Dazulian states. The Stolten Crisis in July 2354 saw the National party governor of Stolten get into a fight with local Lothyran army regiments about the military base within the province. This caused the Lothyran troops to siege the province's capital for three days and saw governor Hauke Tauscher ask for help. Herzig refused to help and issued a warrant of arrest for Tauscher, a member of his own party. However, the Lothyran military were still sceptical of Herzig's plan to introduce state militias which could've seen Lothyran troops die to Stolten troops. Therefore, an army general issued the No Militia Document to Herzig in October 2354 stating that any plan to introduce state militia would be seen as anti-revolutionary and a threat to Lothyran military command.

The abandonment of Herzig's militia policy angered several areas that voted for the National party, but Herzig would announce in early 2355 the 'Decentralised Army Initiative' which would see the 50,000 federal troops conscripted be split into 10 local regiments of 5,000 troops. These federal troops would be placed around the country and would be commanded by officers chosen by local states. This circumvented the need for any specific state to have militia by still having them be federal troops under federal control, but saw provinces have access to and some command over a military - some southern states were still concerned however.

Apart from scuffles with Lothyran, the Nationals also become less popular due to the weird words of some elected senators of the National party who seemed to be more Kusfeldic supremacy than any before. Ultimately, Herzig's first half of a term is seen as a failure to implement any new major policies or stray away from the Federal Liberals. Whereas, the Federal Liberals would begin to repair their reputation.

2362 elections

Main article: 2362 Hveden Federation elections

The 2362 elections were the first elections held after the release of the Hegemony Document and independence.

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.

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 official coronation took place on 1 December 2393, establishing the Hveden Federation as a constitutional monarchy under Empress Charlotte V. The republican style of government would remain though.

Uni

National Party (Right / Center-Right) (Major Party) - Conservatives. Believe in smaller government, freer markets, more local representation, etc.

Federalist Party ( Center / Center-Left) (Major Party) - Centrists (slightly libbed up) They’re the middle ground between Nationalists and Labor. They also believe in more regional representation and authority. This party is basically for the “small government” people who are socially left-leaning (in opposition to right-leaning) and are more open towards some government regulations and national policies.

Labor Party (Left) (Major/Leading Party) - Democratic Socialists / Social Democrats. They’re your run of the mill “eat the rich” people, mostly made up of urban people and the youth. Very socially left-leaning and believing in a stronger government role in society such as more national policies (public healthcare, social security, early retirement, etc).

Unitarian Party (Right / Far-Right) (Minor Party) - Basically kusfeldic supremacists. A niche party mostly made up of kusfeldic peoples who want to create a neo-kusfeldic empire. Extremely controversial and unpopular amongst most people in the nation, basically your USA neo-nazis.

Syndic Union Party (Left / Far-Left) (Minor Party) - Coalition of Syndicalists, Commies, etc. More extreme version of Labor party. They want everything the Labor party does but for it to go further.

Black Swan Party (Center-Left / Center) (Insignificant Party) - Basically a party that’s almost entirely focused on environmental awareness (black swan = swan covered in oil), by far the least popular party. Little to no actual views on international policy or internal policy.

2444

The government would begin construction of new railway lines connecting eleven settlements in the southern polar territory. This is known as Polarrail and would be able to connect onto the rest of the Hveden system. It would be finished in 2447

2447

The government officially opens Polarrail, a new railway network in the southern polar territory.

The President and his party would launch the Eweitgov Reforms:

-The largest anti-corruption programme in the nation's history, known as The Ausrottung, also known as The Eradication. This would target the federal, provincial and local levels.

-A new government office, the Prufsauschen, would be established to closely inspect the funding allocation for all levels of government.

-New laws would be passed such as the Anti-Bribrary Act, the Anti-Monopoly Act, and a series of laws against fraud known as the Anti-Fraud Accords (AFA)

-Using the Anti-Monopoly Act, many corporate monopolies are taken to court and are dissolved.

-Quality control laws are introduced via the Quality Safety Act and are very intrusive.

-Worker Safety Boards and Product Quality Boards are established with regular inspections by a new government inspection agency known as Bodenauschen to inspect safety in factories and major businesses.

-Propaganda is rolled out encouraging the common citizenry to vote and participate in local government

-Transparency laws are introduced to show where public money is going.

2448

New government worries of an invasion by the local HKA that is forming, and fears how backwards Hvede has become. Also spurred on by some rebellions.

2449

February

• The Hveden military begins Operation Fortress, a long term plan to have a network of anti-air turrets with great accuracy, alongside regular large coastal defences across the northern coast, including west of the canal, built by 2460. The plan would include the cost of upgrading current anti-air equipment, the cost of producing and importing enough equipment to man the fortresses, and for the maintenance of these fortresses for the period they run until the operation ends. It is estimated the plan would cost an initial $1 trillion alongside a needed increase of at least $50 billion to the defence budget per year after 2460.

April

• The Hveden air-force's first domestically designed and produced aircraft, the Bissig fighter, would begin production.

May

• The Hveden military would invest $200 billion in the construction of hundreds of new aerodromes and airbases across vital strategic points in Hvede, notably in the West, in the greatest single expansion to the Hvede air force.

September

• A referendum is held on the flag of the Hveden Federation, with two options presented. The original flag is not presented as an option.

December

• The new flag chosen in the referendum is officially adopted on 1 December 2447.

2450
