### ORIGIN

The Spanish Nationalist Planetary Republic was established during the referendums of The Separation of the Two Spains in 1774. General Francisco Franco Bahamondes, alongside the then King Of Spain Alfonso XIII, wanted to keep Old Spain's monarchist government with a military administration, thanks in part to the army's popularity, to protect both Spanish traditions and keep away more progressive ideals that were expanding inside the new republicans from Old Spain.

### GOVERNMENT

The Spanish Nationalist government, in the beginning, was based on Fascist elements alongside national catholicism thanks to the Spanish Crown. It had a one-party system ruled by the Falange Española Tradicionalista (Traditionalist Spanish Phalanx) alongside the Juntas De Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista (National-Syndicalist Offensive Juntas) which acted as the only approved political movement outside the Phalanx until Franco's death and the formation of the Military Council.

After Franco died in 1813, the military high command of Nationalist Spain formed the Military Council (similar to a Military Junta) that would assume all powers in the government. The council would then fuse the Spanish Phalanx and Offensive Juntas into one single entity, the National Movement Party, and also allow non-aligned political movements and Parties. The Council would also change the Spanish Monarchy into a symbolic entity with no power in the government.

Although the Military Council tried to appeal to Franco's ideas, the changes it made infuriated the inner circles and high command of the army and the National Movement due to them being pretty "liberal" and "antipatriotic". Thanks to the relationships made with The Organization during the Spanish Planetary Civil War, the Military Council maintained stability and purged subversive elements inside its government and political movements.

### ECONOMY

The economy of Nationalist Spain was first inspired by Fascist ideals, inducing autarchy and corporativism in its society and industry. During Franco's Government, Nationalist Spain maintained economical relations with the German Planetary Government and the Planetary Kingdom of Italy which both of them also helped it during the Spanish Planetary Civil War both economically and militarily.

During Franco's government, industrialization and self-sustainment were the main priorities. Thanks to german and Italian investment, the Nationalist Spain economy was slower than the one of New Spain but still stable. It could employ thousands of unemployed Spaniards who have left with no jobs thanks to the economical recess of the separation of the Two Spains.

After the Spanish Civil War, Nationalist Spain was in an economical recess and it also needed to bring economic stability to its foreign nationalist Spaniards of the Third Spanish Republic. Again, the German Government and the Italian Kingdom came to help, this time with The Organization, which helped rebuild 60% of Old Spain's economy.

After the war, the Military Council knew that a closed economy and an unsustainable autarchy were impossible. In 1839, the Council signed an economical treaty with The Organization. The Organization would subsidize and distribute Old Spain products and give 100% of the profits.
