Interwar Period

Following the humiliating Treaty of Haguun in 1919 which ended the Nesarian Empire's involvement in the First World War, the constituent countries of the Empire were split up into independent states, most of which were republics and most of which were dominated by the political clique of Urilians known as the Frozen Few who betrayed the Empire to give the Allies a victory. Resentment against this artifical new order steadily grew over time, leading to many internal rebellions and eventually a total state of revolution in 1930 when Emperor Adrion I took the Nesarian throne in the March on Capera and declared the Nesarian Empire to be remade. This eventually led to the reunification of Inecuria, the formulation of Nesarian Fascism and the Empire's involvement in the Second World War.

## The End of an Empire

The Treaty of Haguun did not demand any reparations as was the case with virtually every other enemy of the Allies, but it did impose extremely punitive territorial demands, break up the constituent countries of the Empire into independent states and obligate these new states to abide by specific political systems and military restrictions. The Allies quickly realised that they could not implement everything they outlined in the Treaty of Haguun, but were content with making political concessions where necessary. The approach of the Allies and of the new states they created was heavily criticised at the time by critics from around the world, and has suffered even more criticism since the world found out the long-term ramifications of it in WW2.

The stark political changes introduced to most of the newly formed states of Inecuria were jarring to their residents, and most of the old aristocratic classes were made functionally useless by the political reforms. Most monarchies were turned into republics, and those few states which retained their monarchs were essentially republics in practice, having monarchs with negligible legal power. In addition to the nations of Inecuria being simply unsuited for such a sudden political change, they saw it as an attack on their culture and heritage; particularly in the countries of Estemocaria and Nesaria - whose monarchs became essentially powerless - and in Rulcaria and Calsunaria - whose monarchs were removed from power entirely - the monarchy was seen as inseparable from the national character and the aristocracy were generally perceived as a valuable and noble class (regardless of how true this may have actually been).

The nations of Inecuria were again aggrieved by the liberal social and economic reforms which were passed over the following years by the new governments, some of which were seen as nothing less than obscene by the general population - the single most reviled social reform is often cited to be the legalisation of public crossdressing and the legal recognition of transsexual individuals as the sex they claimed to be. This was enacted in all the Inecurian states simultaneously following the Pan-Inecurian Conference of 1926. The move was even opposed by many socially progressive political figures at the time, who agreed with its principles but argued against its sudden implementation, which was bound to cause a furious reaction.

Since the Urilians were hugely overrepresented in these new governments, much of the anger was directed towards them specifically, and Urilians as a race began to be shunned, ostracised and eventually hated by the rest of Inecuria; many were forced to flee their homes due to the growing threat of violence, and they began to congregate in isolated communities which grew into villages and then towns. This would save them from their unsavoury neighbours in the short term, but it proved to be a huge disadvantage in the later Urilian Deportation as this made it far easier for state forces to locate, round up and deport the Urilians.
