Third Istalian Republic

The Third Istalian Republic was the Istalian republican regime existed since 3133 to 3291, between the Kingdom of Quanzar and the Southern Majatran Union and Kingdom of Quanzar, two of the three monarchical restorations by part of the Solentian Quanzarian.

The Republic was founded after a transitional republican regime which charaterized the last years of the Kingdom of Quanzar following the abolition of the monarchy and the return to the power of Istalian party. Compared with the other Istalian Republic, this regime was less democratic but, most important, was essentially dominated by a single party for most part of its history. The history of the Third Istalian can be divided in four periods: a first Republican and democratic period, an elective Monarchy into the framework of the Republic, a little period which saw the nation led by the Social-Communist Refoundation party and finally a long period charaterized by the establishment of a veritable one-party state.

The first Republican period
The Republic was founded after the end of the second monarchy established by the Hessexian Quanzar when the istalian forces returned to led the nation. The first President was Ulrico de Nicola, who was however one of the only three President of this Republic. Infact, de Nicuola, as exponent of Avanti Istalia!, was elected for eight times to the Presidency, many suspecting for the will of the hegemonic party at the time, the Fiamma Bianca (Luthorian: White Flame), a nationalistic party which, despite never publicly enforced a dictature and never changed the constitutional framework, was able in this year to profit of the weakeness of Republic and of its first President (as well as of the lack of other major organized political forces) so to expand quietly its influence into the public administration reaching to actually control Ministries, public administrations, state-owned industries, the Armed Forces, Law enforcement agencies and so on. When Alessandro della Fiamma, young leader of Fiamma Bianca, was elected at the Presidency, the party had simply strengthened its control over the state apparatus so much that it did not even have to introduce striking reforms, officially preserving the republic and the democratic institutions but at the same time submitting them to the will of the party. Alessandro della Fiamma was very intelligent also facing the rise of the Istalian Reformed Monarchy which, leveraging on the still strong monarchical sentiment diffused in the country, especially among the large Solentian and luthoranized minorities, gained sufficent support to propose the reform of the nation into an elective monarchy.

followed then by the leader of the nationalistic party Fiamma Bianca (Luthorian: White Flame) which after three term left the place to Francesco Luigi Alfonso di Rossano, exponent of the Istalian Reformed Monarchy party which, with the support of the nationalist, created an elective Kingdom under the framework of the Republic.

The Elective Monarchy
The Istalian Reformed Monarchy party first of all was able to make gain to his candidate, Francesco Luigi Alfonso di Rossano, the Presidency after the third term of Alessandra della Fiamma and then, with the support of Fiamma Bianca, was able to introduce the mentioned monarchical reform: it was created the role of Sovereign of Istalia as Head of State, while the Chancellor of the Kingdom and the Senate of the Kingdom were the new name of Prime Minister and Parliament. However, as said, the monarchy was elective and each four years the people were called to elect their Sovereign who acted as a veritable King despite the elective nature. Di Rossano was continually elected as Sovereign for six mandate, also with the support, obviously of the still hegemonic Fiamma Bianca. However, this curious hybrid form of Government lasted just until the activity of the Reformed Monarchy party. In fact, after increasing tensions between the party of di Rossano and Alessandra della Fiamma, in 3204 the latter was able to oust di Rossano from Quattroregni Palace becoming the new Sovereign, role which lasted however for just only for three terms: with the raising of the Social-Communist Refoundation party, in fact, the Istalian people expressed all its disappointment for the monarchists and the nationalists, and the Republic experienced its veritable last democratic period.

The Communists at the power
Cecco d'Esculo, Social-Communist exponent, was elected as Sovereign of Istalia in 3211 and then for other three terms while his party gained and maintained a large majority. Alessandra della Fiamma, however, showed once again to be very intelligent and instead than fight with the Communist she worked with them and let them to introduce many reforms on the economic and social fields while, underground, continued to maintain her influence on the state administration. This clearly avoided any violent uprising or revolution as well as protests and extreme opposition and this policy worked so well that when the communist party dissolved, Fiamma Bianca and its leader were able to retake the control of the country without any sort of problem.

The silent One-party Authoritarian Republic
The last and longest period of the Third Republic was what was in all but the name a one-party state. Fiamma Bianca had reached the total control of the state so that, also without specific laws or reforms, was able to maintain its hegemonical status for almost seventy years. The regime was called the Silent Regime: in fact, virtually no reforms or law where introduced by Fiamma Bianca which clearly wished simply maintain the status quo and its hegemonic role without excessively shake the water or drastically reform the country. Fiamma Bianca greatly profited of the lack of political organization and activity by part of most part of the istalian population, which, after a second quanzarian restoration, was content just to see the restored istalian republic and a nationalistic party at the power so to defend the istalian people and the istalianity of the nation. Under the Fiamma Bianca one-party regime, a curious behavior was adopted about the head of State: declared Alessandra della Fiamma as... WIP
