The Republican MOnarchy of Granate is an old nation. Founded back during the end of the Dark Ages, it has risen to a place of power, be it a small one. Granate's history is one rich with war, strife, triump, agony, and Victory. Throughout it's history, it's been host to Democracies, Republics, Dictatorships, and Monarchies. Granate as it stands right now is a Monarchy, even though it still has a Parliament. This system is alot like the Parliamentary Monarchy of the UK, but with significant differences.

History
The War of Many Lords
Back before Granate was a unified, there were thousands of tiny Duchies, Kingdoms, Republics that littered it's landscape. Wars between sometimes 10 groups was not uncommon. Beginning in early 1495 one of the Leaders of the Kingdom of Lucianus decided something needed to be done. So this King began to gather with him a vast force. He also worked to find Allies among his neighboring Kingdoms. Working with these kingdoms he was able to unite a large Portion of Granatian Territory. This Kingdom was called Bornsbruck, it is still called this in modern times, but as a province.
The other Lors and Kings were frightened by this one mans power. They began to work together and formed Large Kingdoms of their own. Two of these were Almsbruck and Penerbruck, which still are called this in modern times. Bornsbruck began to feel the pressure of this ever growing force of Enemies. Thus the War of the The Kingdoms began. This would last for 2 years, ending in 1497 with a victory for Bornsbruck. They began what later would be called the Subjugation of the Last Lords or as it is called in Modern Times "The War of Many Lords". In todays time we consider all this to be part of The War of Many of Lords.
