History

Founding

Hekloslogravia was founded when refugee Heklos and Slogravians, were expelled from their former nation, and loaded onto ships, by the United Kingdoms of Trans-Galasia and Moravia, in 432KY. The king of the UKTGM, King William IX decreed that they never be allowed to return. He intended to deport all "inferior" ethnic groups, but when he died in 433KY, his son Robert I halted the deportations.

The two exiled groups had no choice but to unify into one if they were to survive in the new land they reached. In Aberdeen, they established the Federal Republic of Hekloslogravia, in 435KY.

Empire

In 437KY, the President of Hekloslogravia, Edward J. Picardy, declared himself Emperor Edward I of Hekloslogravia. In 445KY, Emperor Edward I, was assassinated in a coup, that could be compared to the attempted 20 July (1944), coup against Hilter, except this one was successful. Field Marshall Douglass Vernan siezed controll of the government, and had all memebers of the Imperial Government shot on sight.

Back to Democracy

Hekloslogravia briefly reverted to a Federal Republic, from 446KY to 448KY, when President Charles F. Kane was declared dictator.

Dictatorship

Kane ruled Hekloslogravia with an iron fist, but in 450KY, Kane was assassinated, bringing his brief reign to an end.

Kiefship

The constitutional monarchy system was next, with the "co-Kiefs" being; Edward I, and Bartholomew I. The head of Government would be the President of the Senate, William Korento. After about one month, Bartholomew I was desposed as "co-Kief", for conduct unbecoming for a "Kief". He was succeded by James I, who abdicated to marry a divorcee, Katherine Simpsons. After this Gobekokrrzabe became the sole "Kief", and Head of State. (PM was head of Government.)

Hekloslogravian Civil War

In 457KY, Field Marshall Benard Kane led a rebel faction in an attempt to overthrow the monarchy. Within 3 Weeks they had killed Kief Edward I, but were unable to prevent his son from ascending the throne as Kief Robert I. Robert was quickly assassinated, and President of the Senate William Korento was declared regent. After the brief crisis, Kief Edward's son Joseph took the name Kief Edward II.

End of the Monarchy

Late in 457KY, President of the Senate Thomas Sawyer overthrew the boy-kief, and became the interm-President of Hekloslogravia.

Attempted Coup

In late 457KY, Senator Thomas Y. Madison briefly overthrew President Thomas Sawyer. Soldiers quickly killed Madison, and innaugerated the winner of the Presidential Election, Jake Clawston, as President of Hekloslogravia.
