The Beginnings
Founding of Sekowo

The Union of Sekowo was formed in the year 2193. The first President of the Union of Sekowo, Filliam H. Muffman of the Filliam H. Muffman Party, was elected in 2196. When the Cabinet Proposal of 2198 passed, the Liberal Conservative Party was greatly annoyed to be left out of the cabinet. Kyle Martin vowed to repay the snub. In 2200 there was a sudden spate of resignations. Rumors abounded that threats by the Liberal Conservative Party were behind the resignations.

The Sekowo Civil War
Sekowo Civil War

The decade-long civil war which began in 2406 was one of the bloodiest and ideologically-charged in Terran history. The instability was not the fault of two competing sides, but many separate factions which came and went during this turbulent period. Some 1.4 million are thought to have died as a result of the chaos and carnage, and the infrastructure of the nation was greatly damaged. To understand the complex forces at work, a background of the war is necessary.

The Federated Cities of Pan-Sekowo is a Democratic Constitutional Monarchy, with the Head of State, the Basileus being a Hereditary role and the Head of Government, the Archon being democratically voted for.
