History
Founding of Jakwal
Jakwal began as the Kingdom of Jakwal on January 19th of 2022. The nation was founded by four members Jon, Katie, Andy, and Kristy.
King Jon
Under the Reign of King Jon, Jakwal was a tyrannical state, in which basic human rights were denied. Not much else is known about King Jon to outsiders.
The Spencer Dynasty
In February, Jon abdicated, giving the crown to Katie. During Queen Katie's reign, Jakwal grew from a small tyrannical state to a still small, but slightly larger and more free, state. Also during Katie's reign, Jakwal underwent a few flag changes, as well as suffering a flood. Luckily, no one was hurt in the flood, and no property damage was reported. All together, the reign of Queen Katie was prosperous, but it was not long. Late in her reign, left-wing and right-wing forces began to clash due to increasing tension. Katie abdicated, handing the crown to her relative Andy Spencer. Andy becoming king appeased the left-wing forces, as having a king sympathetic to their cause was reassuring. Clashes began to wind to a halt, but being bitter, Former King Jon began a rebellion. Viewing Andy's rise to power as a socialist usurpation, the rebels called themselves "monarchists", somewhat ironically. Polarized by this, the left-wing became socialist and resisted the rebellion.
The Jakwalian Civil War
Rebel forces rose up in Jakwal, and some minor clashes occurred between the "monarchists" and the socialists. During this, secret rebel leader, and former king, Jon was still involved in the government, and was spying on King Andy as well as the socialists. Andy wishing for a peaceful resolution condemned the clashes and asserted neutrality, but when news was brought to Andy that a major battle was approaching, Andy chose to side with the socialists. Andy was present for the only major battle. All the "monarchists" and socialists met for a massive brawl, and when the dust settled, Andy had won. With Jon having revealed himself as a traitor, he and all other right-wing forces were expelled from the government.
Founding of the Republic
With the end of the civil war, King Andy officially ended the monarchy, declaring a socialist triumvirate republic, with him as its president. This is the state of Jakwal today.
