Kingdom of Dissau

The Kingdom of Dissau, commonly known as Dissau or sometimes the Dissauian Kingdom, is an island nation off the coast of the Sheaman and the Shean Isles. Dissau is a part of the Shean Isles and the Sheaman Islands, making it the third country in the Sheaman Isles and the second country in the Shean Isles. Dissau holds the second largest population in the Sheaman Islands and has begun growing at a faster rate than Sheaman in recent.
The origins of Dissau come from old Dissauian and Māori tribes that originally inhabited the island. The island was discovered in 1690 and the tribes were forced to relocate to other parts of the island. The French laid claim to the island in 1691 but were contested during the War for Sheaman (1700 - 1701). The war ended in Sheaman and the Shean Isles coming under British control but Dissau was divided in two, between the French north and the English south. The division was a major problem throughout the 18th century, leading to many rebellions and skirmishes until an actual war broke out in 1806 between France an the United Kingdom over the complete ownership of the island. It ended in 1811 with no border changes after a large rebellious organisation threated to rise up. After long discussions, it was agreed by both the French and British to both give up control of the island, so on the 19th of September 1812, they handed control of the island over to a prominent poilitical figure called Oscar Arenterres. He self-proclaimed himself President of the Repubilic of Dissau.
the years between 1812 and 1870 are often considered the Dissauian Conflict Period and were a very tough political, social, and economic time for the country. Arenterres oppressed his population, leading to him becoming incredibly unpopular among the population. Arenterres was eventually diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the late 1830s and died. Arenterres left Sean Gilbert to take his position not long before he died. Gilbert was also unpopular and in 1839 his palace was stormed by peasants who demanded that he call an election, Gilbert refused and so he was hung without opposition from his guards. Gilbert was replaced with a long list of people who claimed presidency until Arenterres' son Arthur Arenterres took control of the country in 1842. Arenterres was similar to his father and became increasingly unpopular. He ended dying by being shot during a state visit to Cedecan in 1852. This led to the start of the 2nd Bloody Crisis. This ended in 1864 when John James Macklefield became President of the country until deciding to form a monarchy with himself as King. His title and glorification as king made him much more popular than he predecessors.

=== Formation: 1806 - 1812 ===
In 1806, during the partition period in the country, Oscar Arenterres suggested that instead of a divided island, both France and the United Kingdom should drop their claims on the island and establish and independent Dissau. Arenterres' idea was taken into account but was mostly dismissed and instead further established more conflict. In March 1807, a fight between a group of drunken French and British people. The fight was fuelled by both drunkenness and political desires, leading to more groups joining in the conflict until a shooting occurred. The conflict led to both the British and French government blaming each other for orchestrating the attack and eventually on the 27th of March 1807, war was declared by Britain. The war lasted between 1807 to 1811 and only ended after a rebellious group who wanted independence sprung up. Both the French and British government feared the power of the group and the war ended in 1811 with an unchanged result.
In late 1811, Oscar Arenterres re-suggested the proposition of a united independent state and this time - due to the infighting - it was considered as a resolution to the conflict. In February 1812, the French and British government agreed - to the amazement of Arenterres and the population - that Dissau would become an independent state in the coming months. The Republic of Dissau was officially formed on the 19th of September 1812 with Oscar Arenterres as its President.
=== Dissauian Conflict Period: 1812 - 1870 ===
==== First Iron First Era: 1812 - 1839 ====
After Oscar Arenterres became President of the Republic of Dissau, he formed the State Council which he intended to use as a way to manage the country. Arenterres ruled with an iron fist, oppressing groups of people such as homosexuals, women, minorities, and immigrants, going as far as to kill and imprison those groups for no cause. Arenterres' reign was largely unpopular and led to many minor rebellions and conflicts within the country. Arenterres continued to suppress people throughout his time as dictator of the country, introducing legislation such as the Homosexuality Act 1817 that criminalized homosexuality in the country, the Women's Act 1819 that banned women working in any situation. Arenterres was incredibly unpopular and became more and more unpopular the longer he remained in office. 
In 1837, Arenterres was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and began becoming unfit for office, leading to Sean Gilbert taking on the unofficial title of President of the Republic of Dissau. Throughout 1838 and early 1839, Arenterres continued to deteriorate from his condition and officially in May 1839, he passed his title of President to Sean Gilbert. Arenterres would die in September, 1839, and Gilbert would only remain in office until October 1839. Gilbert's palace was stormed on the 20th of October 1839, by peasants who demanded that Gilbert step down and an election is called to establish a democracy. Gilbert refused to do so and so the peasants took him and hung him in the city centre with little to no opposition from Gilbert's personal guards. 
==== First Bloody Crisis: 1839 - 1842 ====
After the death of Sean Gilbert, a peasant called Wallace Smith, took over as President by a raise of hands among those who had stormed the palace. It was a very skewed vote but Smith took the position with no opposition as people believed that they just needed an interim President for the time being until a proper election could take place. Smith did not last long as his promise to establish a 12-person council never happened, leading to him being stabbed to death only two months later in January 1840 and he was replaced by Max Horne. Horne also failed to create a council and instead used his power to build a large house for himself. This construction never came near completion because he was murdered in later February 1840. He was replaced by Melvin Farmer who actually formed a 12-person council but later died of natural causes in October 1840 and was replaced by his brother's wife's brother, Josef Clayton, who disbanded the council and created the Union of Dissau. His time in power was actually not hated that much at the time as most believed that he was strong and would eventually form a democracy but he ended up killing himself in June 1851. He was replaced by Dewey Farley in June 1841 until December 1841 and then Clark Olding from December 1841 to February 1842.
A militia called the New Brothers of Unity - replacing the Brother of Unity from 1839 to 1840 - stormed the palace under the leadership of the son of Oscar Arenterres, Arthur Arenterres, and shot Clark Olding. Arthur then proclaimed himself the President of the State of Dissau on the 14th of February 1842, marking a new era and the end of the First Bloody Crisis.
==== 2nd Iron Fist Era: 1842 - 1852 ====
Arenterres led from what his father did, ruling with an iron fist. He majorly expanded cities and towns in the country, attempting to urbanize and industrialize the country as at the time was heavily reliant on agriculture to support the country. Arenterres created new towns such as Ealaton, Arauan, and Cedacan (Se-di-cin) which would eventually end up being some of the largest cities in the country. Arenterres contributed to the Dissauian Industrial Revolution. Arenterres also established a functioning military that expanded quickly during his time in power.
Arenterres' reign lasted 10 years and his reign was generally considered successful by many historians due to Arenterres aiding in the Dissauian Industrial Revolution and urbanizing the country. He was eventually shot whilst visiting Cedacan in 1852, leading to the end of the 2nd Iron First Era. He was replaced by Robert Abraham - a friend of Arenterres' - leading to the start of the Second Bloody Crisis.
==== Second Bloody Crisis: 1852 - 1864 ====
The Second Bloody Crisis began with Robert Abraham becoming President. The event led to a struggle for power, such as the one that happened after the resignation of Oscar Arenterres.
Abraham was swiftly replaced over a year later by Archibald Stewart via a month-long coup. Stewart started rapidly militarizing the nation, protecting ports from immigrants, stationing guards in all cities, and randomly seizing control of farms and factories for no apparent reason. His leadership style was highly dictatorial, and led to small rebellions within the country. Immigration to the country slowed down after Stewart became President, leading to Stewart using this as a reason to show that his policies were effective. Stewart experienced multiple assassination attempts during his presidency, all of which, he avoided. Stewart become a figure of power the longer he remained President, assigning himself as a martyr if someone were to kill him. His reign came to an end after his bodyguard stabbed him whilst he was making a speech in Ealaton. His death led to his lifelong fiend, Christopher Stein, taking over as President. Stein reigned similarly to how Stewart except from his relaxation of military around cities and ports. Stein was shot in a forest alongside his family - including his wife and children - whilst they were having a picnics.
Between 1858 and 1864, many heads of states with different titles such as: President, State Administrator, and Premier. Micheal Sutherland ruled from 1858 to 1859, Kingsley Livingston ruled from 1859 to 1860, Myles Roy from 1860 to 1863, Aron Mclaughlin from 1863 to 1864, and Martin Morrison from June to September 1864. Each leader become less powerful as the years went on, and they all reversed actions/leadership styles made by Stewart. Eventually, in September 1864, John James Macklefield seized control of the country under the title of President.
==== Restored Dictatorship: 1864 - 1870 ====
John J. Macklefield's seizing of power in Dissau marked a new era. His reign was much more peaceful, reforms were made, and the military was almost entirely disbanded. Macklefield prioritized enlarging the economy, increasing immigration, and inciting a new industrial revolution. He began by forming the Parliament of the State of Dissau, a 50-member, fully-appointed legislature to help him manage the country. He approved of a law to allow white immigrants into the country in an attempt to increase the country's population and increase the number of workers. He also succeeded in inciting the 2nd Dissauian Industrial Revolution around the late 1860s because of the increase in immigration, leading to large technological progress.
=== Formation of Monarchy and Prosperity Era: 1870 - 1904 ===
In August 1870, Macklefield and parliament agreed to establish a monarchy with Macklefield as king. Macklefield became King John I - more commonly known as King Macklefield I. He was later coronated in February 1871 and went on to marry Mary MacArthur - later Queen Mary I - in June 1872 and had many children with her, most notably, William, who was to become the next monarch after Macklefield I died.
