History
The first settlements in Saint Jacques are born about 10.000 years ago. The archaeological evidence points that that settlements belonged to migrants, that formed many Kingdoms in the territory. They were dominated by the Ancient Former Lands Empire, after the Vegas of Istur Battle. In that battle, the Ancient Former Lands Empire destroyed the coaligated army of all Kingdoms in region. As an Ancient Former Lands Empire territory, its name was Carpatia, and remained as the loyalest province in empire, even in the crise of the Ancient Former Lands Empire. Carpatia was the center of the resistence of the governant dinasty, until the Battle of Villiars, in 1265 AD. In the Battle of Villiars the resistance was definitely broke, and the Grident house started to reign in the Former Lands Empire. But the domination of the Grident house was very short; in 1308 AD the ships of the new colonisers disembarked in the port of Catas. They were catholics that flew away from the war against the cathars. In the violent disembarcation, the leader screamed the protection from Saint James, and won the battle. In their honour, the new land was named as the Saint; the name of the country remained in their antique language, and not evolved. The port of Catas became the entrance for new disembarcations, and was renamed as San Jorge. With new forces, the catholics taked the duty of conquer that country. With many success, the conquerors taked the city of Naulia, the biggest in Carpatia. The city remained as the capital, but was renamed as Santa María de Compostela. The Former Lands Empire, in a great crisis, decided to negotiate, and in the Roban peace treaty, in 1315, the Former Lands Empire recognized the Most Serene Republic of Saint Jacques. The medieval Most Serene Republic of Saint Jacques was composed of a Council of State, charged of foreign relationships and head of the State, and a Cabinet, charged of government, whose members were from the Parliament. This institutions were created after the peace treaty, in 1316, by the Fuero de Campustela, whose paragraphs had also a bill of rights, including the habeas corpus. After many conflicts between the Council and the Cabinet for the control of the government, the Council imposed its decisions to the Cabinet, with the Inner Government Law, in 1564, starting a despotic government. The despotic government brought some estability to the country, and many progress. The most significant thing in this period is the neutral policy of the government, that made a large and succesful peace in the region. In 1809, an economical crisis, created by the drop on the agricultural products prices, led to a social agitation. The social agitation led to a revolution, leaded by the General Sandro Carranza, who took the control of Santa María the Compostela in june 1809. The victorious general Carranza called to elections for a constitutional assembly. In 1810, a referenda ratified the Constitution, that created a parlamentary republic, and conserved the name of the country as Most Serene Republic. The codification of the law, with the Civil Code of 1810, by Dalmacio Pérez, were other measures that the general Carranza made. The XIXth century saw the industrialization of the country, followed by social agitation for the bad conditions of the work. The government of Prime Minister Julio San Román, in 1897, passed some social legislation, as a measure to fight the growth of SocialDemocrats and Communists. Saint Jacques remained neutral in both World Wars. But the global crisis of 1929 led to political inestability, and "a failure of parlamentary system", as the Popular Fronat said, in 1934. The Popular Front took the power in the general election of that year. The Popular Front called to a general elections for a constitutional assembly, but the work of the constitutional assembly only suggested many changes to the Political Code, called "a counterpoise to the power of the Parliament". In the Constitutional Reform of 1935, the Semiparliamentary republic took form, as more powers to the chief of State, the President of the Republic, and the creation of the Constitutional Court of Saint Jacques. After the Second World War, Saint Jacques had many socialist governments, inspired in keynesian policies in economy. That is mantained in the actual government, by the Prime Minister Nicolás SantJordi, elected in 1992.
