History The ancient Kokomian civilisation conquered vast lands and was the dominant force was centuries, until it was brought down by barbarian hordes. Kokomy remained a small state under a strong monarchy, experiencing indsutrial revolution in the early 1800s. King Alexei was forced to abdicate in 1919 when workers in the capital, Koko, stormed his palace. The leader of the revolutionaries, Fifi Schnelle (see image) became President and remained so until her death in 1947. Civil War followed between those who sought reinstatement of the monarchy (King Alexei's grandaughter, Alexandra) and the supporters of the revolution. By 1951 the monarchists were defeated and the Second Republic was declared. A democratic constituion was signed and a parliament opened and the following decades have seen relative calm with the Revolutionary movement dominating government.
