The Great Civil War refers to a war between the dictators of Mala and Branuham -- in what is now The Constitutional Monarchy of Malabra -- and their respective populations. War broke out in 1989 and continued for almost fifteen years until peace was finally declared in 2004. Fighting against poverty, injustice, and agression, the native populations required the aide of outside allies to overcome the accrued strength of the two dictatorships.

Seedlings of War

From the very beginning, the founding of the two dictatorships was done under a cloud of suspicion. Many tribes or individuals had lost power due to the new agreements between themselves, but at the same time desired for a much more powerful nation state. Reluctantly, many elected a single ruler and that ruler would many times preside over a population for over 10 years or more.

From the onset, it was never decided who would suceed the leaders that they had elected by signing the pacts to form the two countries. A commision of the various tribes and individuals in both countries was assumed to hold that power when it was needed. However, shortly after the death of the first dictators, both families wanted to keep their tremendous power, so they used their military and political might against any commission that was supposed to be rightfully established.
