The monarchy lasted lasted for about 20 years and was replaced peacefully by a republic, as King George IV decided to abdicate his throne. The republic was more democratic. Life was peacful then. This lasted only 2 years. In 1963 Kerla become a dictatorship with Jefferson Davidson taking over, with the message that he knew what was best for Kerla. In 1998 the United Front for Democracy and Socialism staged a very successful rebellion led by Robert Brown. Brown was a general in the Kerlan Republcian Army.
