## History

### Formation & Early Years: 1950 - 1980

The State of South Shriel was originally going to be combined with Greater Shriel and North Shriel but after complaints about the massive population that the state would hold, it was decided that there would be three states, including South Shriel. South Shriel, along with most others states, was formed in 1950.

South Shriel held their first state parliament election and governor election on the 1st of June 1950. The election led to the Conservative Party winning 58 seats, the most seats in the Parliament of South Shriel. The 1950 South Shriel Governor Election led to the Conservative Party candidate winning the most votes, leading to a second round of voting the following week that saw the Conservative Party candidate, Nate Zander, winning. After both elections were held, government formation began. A deal was struck on the 15th of June 1950 that would include the Nationalist Party, Conservative Party, National Liberal Party, and People's Moderate Party, enter into a coalition. The coalition held 99 out of the 189 seats in the state parliament, giving the coalition a +4 majority government.
