Well, I'm back now, so the hiatus can end.

Greece and Cyprus

Greece broke away from Ottoman Turkish rule in 1777 at the conclusion of the Greek War of Independence, with a constitutional monarchy where power was shared between a Hapsburg king and an elected prime minister. Despite political conflict between the increasingly reclusive Alexandros I and anti-monarchists led by Adamantios Korais, Greece remained largely stable until the 1831 assassination of Ioannis Kapodistras by Petros and Giorgios Mavromichalis. Following a period of military rule in the late 1850s, new parties rose that were less prone to conflict with the monarchy. Several kings ruled and either died or resigned in quick succession in the 1800s for various reasons; Giorgios I died of cholera, Stavros was forced to resign after revelations of his homosexuality, and Alexandros II forced his father Ioannis I to abdicate.

Despite the rule of powerful and influential prime ministers like Eleftherios Venizelos and Ioannis Metaxas in the beginning of the century, the 1900s were notoriously unstable. King Giorgios II was assassinated, his son Konstantinos died young, several prime ministers clashed with their kings, and several elections were rigged by the military. The Two Sicilies also threatened to invade in 1940, though this never actually materialized. In the late 1950s, policies that restricted the rights of the Turkish majority on Cyprus resulted in a successful Cypriot War of Independence in which Greece lost control of the island outside of Akrotiri and Dhekelia and many atrocities were committed to force Greek Cypriots to flee the island. Stability returned in the 1980s, but in the past few years an economic crisis has forced the resignation of two prime ministers, the abdication of a monarch, and the rise of the far-leftist SYRIZA and far-rightist Golden Dawn.

Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia

Taksin 'the Great' Thonburi, the only king of his dynasty, was executed in 1782 by his trusted adviser Phraputthayotfa Chuklalok, who would reign as Rama I Chakri. The Chakris ruled as unchallenged absolute monarchs for decades. In 1863, Cambodia broke away under the twin royal houses of Norodom and Sisowath. In 1932, the military forced Rama VII Chakri to grant a constitution and create an elected legislature and the title of Prime Minister. Ultimately, though, the legislature has rarely been elected, with the military often rigging elections and installing their own leaders into the present. In 1946, Laos broke away under the Khun Lo dynasty.

The monarchies of Cambodia and Laos were deposed in 1960 and 1975 respectively, by the Khmer Rouge and the Pathet Lao. Both countries established communist autocracies; Cambodia's was marked by the brutal genocide of non-Khmer, intellectuals, and city dwellers. Though Laos and Cambodia initially got along, relations collapsed as Cambodia's genocide expanded, and Laos eventually funded a Cambodian group called the National Salvation Front that ultimately defeated the Khmer Rouge in the Cambodian Civil War and established a second communist regime that exists to this day. Thailand remains marked by military interference in civilian affairs, including the recent deposition of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra by General Prayuth Chan-ocha.

Two Sicilies

The Two Sicilies was established in 1770 after both Sicily and Naples wound up in periods of regency following the death of Ferdinand Bourbon of Naples and the deposition of the Bourbons in peninsular Spain by the Capellos. The regency councils of the two countries agreed to unite the countries under Ludwig von Zahringen, a member of the ducal house ruling Baden, who would reign as Luigi di Zahringen. From 1777 to 1783, the Two Sicilies waged war on the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont, defeating them and annexing the island of Sardinia, ensuring Sicilian dominance over the lower half of the Apennine Peninsula. In 1861, the army of the Two Sicilies defeated the Expedition of the Thousand under Giuseppe Garibaldi, remaining independent as a result. In 1894, King Vittorio granted a constitution and a democratically-elected legislature whose leader, the Prime Minister, would advise the king.

In 1930, the National Fascist Party rigged parliamentary elections and installed party leader Achille Starace as Marshal, or absolute dictator. They ended democratic elections, instituted severe repression, and deposed the monarchy, which they viewed as a threat to fascist rule. In 1940, the Two Sicilies threatened to go to war with Greece if they did not turn over the di Zahringens, living in exile in Kerkyra. When Greece refused, the Sicilian bluff was called. Fascist rule over the Two Sicilies existed until internal intrigue between Giovanni Messe and Giuseppe Rauti tore the party apart, allowing the deposition of the fascist autocracy. The monarchy was restored under Cesare di Zahringen, and democratic governance was restored with executive power now resting with the Prime Minister instead of the King. The Two Sicilies was briefly rocked by the assassination of Prime Minister Aldo Moro by communists shortly after his electoral defeat. The demise of a two-party system and economic trouble has left the future of the Two Sicilies somewhat uncertain.

Iran

In 1750, Shahrokh Shah Afshar of the Afshari dynasty was deposed by Karim Khan Zand, who established the Zand dynasty. Though the Zand dynasty ruled Iran for almost half a century- and generally had popular backing, at least early on- it was never especially stable, with many Zand shahs dying mysteriously or simply being deposed. Iran returned to a more stable situation when an Azerbaijani clan, the Qajars, seized control of the country, Persianized, and declared themselves shahs. Qajar rule was peaceful and prosperous, with the Qajar shahs generally seeking to enrich the nation as a whole. In 1905, Shah Mozaffar ad-Din Qajar created an elected legislature and the title of premier, establishing a constitutional monarchy. This ended, however, when army leader army leader Reza Pahlavi deposed the Qajars and declared himself Reza Khan Shah Pahlavi, Shahanashah and absolute monarch of Iran.

The Pahlavis ruled between 1925 and 1947, when the Republican Revolution forced Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi to flee to Egypt. The leaders of the Republican Revolution initially only sought a return to the Qajar style of constitutional monarchy, but when the Shahanashah refused and the army opened fire on protesters, they began to demand an end to the Iranian monarchy. A Republic of Iran was established, led by a Prime Minister and an elected legislature. This ended in 1960 when the massively popular Mohammad Mossadeq was deposed by the army, bringing Mohammad Reza Shah back to power. This too was short lived; the Shahanashah's closeness to Sunni Egypt alienated many in the clergy, and his tendencies towards extravagant spending and police brutality made him massively unpopular among the citizenry. In 1979, the Islamic Revolution again forced the Pahlavis into exile, establishing a theocratic republic under a Supreme Leader and a President. Iran and Egypt remain hostile towards the other, over everything from the Hajj to the Caliphate to nuclear weaponry.

Trying to pioneer fascism to prevent everyone else from making it a liberal progressive autocracy like last time? :P

That's all great and good, but the National Socialist German Workers Party shall be remembered for it's compassion, liberalism and justice. Sieg Heil!

Fascism was originally Italian, so I have some claim to it... Sicilian fascism is really unimpressive though. They threatened to invade Greece when Greece decided to shelter the Italian Royal family. Greece said no and no invasion ever materialized.

I thought she was set to die in 1815? That would skip through the partitions of Poland, but I don't mind, since we have missed a bunch of time.

Hm, it would skip over much of the Columbian Revolution, but to be honest, I think a skip ahead is in the right direction. RPing all of that out could get long and tiresome.

Greece and Cyprus

Greece broke away from Ottoman Turkish rule in 1777 at the conclusion of the Greek War of Independence, with a constitutional monarchy where power was shared between a Hapsburg king and an elected prime minister. Despite political conflict between the increasingly reclusive Alexandros I and anti-monarchists led by Adamantios Korais, Greece remained largely stable until the 1831 assassination of Ioannis Kapodistras by Petros and Giorgios Mavromichalis. Following a period of military rule in the late 1850s, new parties rose that were less prone to conflict with the monarchy. Several kings ruled and either died or resigned in quick succession in the 1800s for various reasons; Giorgios I died of cholera, Stavros was forced to resign after revelations of his homosexuality, and Alexandros II forced his father Ioannis I to abdicate.

Despite the rule of powerful and influential prime ministers like Eleftherios Venizelos and Ioannis Metaxas in the beginning of the century, the 1900s were notoriously unstable. King Giorgios II was assassinated, his son Konstantinos died young, several prime ministers clashed with their kings, and several elections were rigged by the military. The Two Sicilies also threatened to invade in 1940, though this never actually materialized. In the late 1950s, policies that restricted the rights of the Turkish majority on Cyprus resulted in a successful Cypriot War of Independence in which Greece lost control of the island outside of Akrotiri and Dhekelia and many atrocities were committed to force Greek Cypriots to flee the island. Stability returned in the 1980s, but in the past few years an economic crisis has forced the resignation of two prime ministers, the abdication of a monarch, and the rise of the far-leftist SYRIZA and far-rightist Golden Dawn. There is hope in some areas, though: the election of Mustafa Akinci in Cyprus has triggered a new effort towards reconciliation between the two countries.

Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia

Taksin 'the Great' Thonburi, the only king of his dynasty, was executed in 1782 by his trusted adviser Phraputthayotfa Chuklalok, who would reign as Rama I Chakri. The Chakris ruled as unchallenged absolute monarchs for decades. In 1863, Cambodia broke away under the twin royal houses of Norodom and Sisowath. In 1932, the military forced Rama VII Chakri to grant a constitution and create an elected legislature and the title of Prime Minister. Ultimately, though, the legislature has rarely been elected, with the military often rigging elections and installing their own leaders into the present. In 1946, Laos broke away under the Khun Lo dynasty.

The monarchies of Cambodia and Laos were deposed in 1960 and 1975 respectively, by the Khmer Rouge and the Pathet Lao. Both countries established communist autocracies; Cambodia's was marked by the brutal genocide of non-Khmer, intellectuals, and city dwellers. Though Laos and Cambodia initially got along, relations collapsed as Cambodia's genocide expanded, and Laos eventually funded a Cambodian group called the National Salvation Front that ultimately defeated the Khmer Rouge in the Cambodian Civil War and established a second communist regime that exists to this day. Thailand remains marked by military interference in civilian affairs, including the recent deposition of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra by General Prayuth Chan-ocha, with political repression and corruption prevalent at all levels of society and governance.

Two Sicilies

The Two Sicilies was established in 1770 after both Sicily and Naples wound up in periods of regency following the death of Ferdinand Bourbon of Naples and the deposition of the Bourbons in peninsular Spain by the Capellos. The regency councils of the two countries agreed to unite the countries under Ludwig von Zahringen, a member of the ducal house ruling Baden, who would reign as Luigi di Zahringen. From 1777 to 1783, the Two Sicilies waged war on the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont, defeating them and annexing the island of Sardinia, ensuring Sicilian dominance over the lower half of the Apennine Peninsula. In 1861, the army of the Two Sicilies defeated the Expedition of the Thousand under Giuseppe Garibaldi, remaining independent as a result. In 1894, King Vittorio granted a constitution and a democratically-elected legislature whose leader, the Prime Minister, would advise the king.

In 1930, the National Fascist Party rigged parliamentary elections and installed party leader Achille Starace as Marshal, or absolute dictator. They ended democratic elections, instituted severe repression, and deposed the monarchy, which they viewed as a threat to fascist rule. In 1940, the Two Sicilies threatened to go to war with Greece if they did not turn over the di Zahringens, living in exile in Kerkyra. When Greece refused, the Sicilian bluff was called. Fascist rule over the Two Sicilies existed until internal intrigue between Giovanni Messe and Giuseppe Rauti tore the party apart, allowing the deposition of the fascist autocracy by protesters and rioters. The monarchy was restored under Cesare di Zahringen, and democratic governance was restored with executive power now resting with the Prime Minister instead of the King. The Two Sicilies was briefly rocked by the assassination of Prime Minister Aldo Moro by communists shortly after his electoral defeat. The demise of the two-party system and economic trouble has left the future of the Two Sicilies somewhat uncertain.

Iran and Kurdistan

In 1750, Shahrokh Shah Afshar of the Afshari dynasty was deposed by Karim Khan Zand, who established the Zand dynasty. Though the Zand dynasty ruled Iran for almost half a century- and generally had popular backing, at least early on- it was never especially stable, with many Zand shahs dying mysteriously or simply being deposed. Iran returned to a more stable situation when an Azerbaijani clan, the Qajars, seized control of the country, Persianized, and declared themselves shahs. Qajar rule was peaceful and prosperous, with the Qajar shahs generally seeking to enrich the nation as a whole. In 1905, Shah Mozaffar ad-Din Qajar created an elected legislature and the title of premier, establishing a constitutional monarchy. This ended, however, when army leader army leader Reza Pahlavi deposed the Qajars and declared himself Reza Khan Shah Pahlavi, Shahanashah and absolute monarch of Iran.

The Pahlavis ruled between 1925 and 1947, when the Republican Revolution forced Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi to flee to Egypt. The leaders of the Republican Revolution initially only sought a return to the Qajar style of constitutional monarchy, but when the Shahanashah refused and the army opened fire on protesters, they began to demand an end to the Iranian monarchy. A Republic of Iran was established, led by a Prime Minister and an elected legislature. Kurdistan also broke away, forming an independent republic. Democracy ended in 1960 when the massively popular Mohammad Mossadeq was deposed by the army, bringing Mohammad Reza Shah back to power. This too was short lived; the Shahanashah's closeness to Sunni Egypt alienated many in the clergy, and his tendencies towards extravagant spending and police brutality made him massively unpopular among the citizenry. In 1979, the Islamic Revolution again forced the Pahlavis into exile, establishing a theocratic republic under a Supreme Leader and a President. Iran and Egypt remain hostile towards the other, over everything from the Hajj to the Caliphate to nuclear weaponry. Kurdistan has remained stable since it broke away, and is a thriving multiparty democracy.
