Nation description (at least a paragraph, please):
In 1022, Bäivigibki (queen of kings) Äâmesita I dissolved the Ykobi system. Äâmesita I signed the Edict on the Constitutions of the United Sivi Tribes. The Edict created the Dummê, a collection of nobles elected from noble houses and land owners who would serve as the joint executives and legislators of the nation. In addition, the Edict established the Egiimati, a system of court tribunals who acted as arbitrators. The Dummê had no superiors or rulers, and could issue laws and edicts (Every one-hundred years the Dummê would usually codify the Dummê Constitutions, which were laws that took precedence over normal laws but yielded to the Edict on the Constitutions of the United Sivi Tribes. This Constitution would be made up of seventy to one-hundred fifty edicts.)
In 1773 the Edimitäs̈s̈a (modernized revolt) began. It had been recently discovered that the Sivi were in fact not the only people who lived as they had once thought. The Khää scrolls did predict the rise of civilizations other than the Sivi, but the tribes had no contact with these civilizations. When the Dummê enforced restrictions against exploring and meeting the Vinönos (outsiders), many Sivi, especially the clergy felt that the Dummê wanted the Sivi people to continue in their isolation and poverty, and fought back. After a short revolt, the Dummê surrendered all Constitutional Power and in 1775 allowed for a Constitutional Convention to assemble and form a new government system. The new government system was very similar to the old system, in that it was very devolved and tribal but now with elected officers who sat on the Dummê and ruled on the advice of tribal nobles. Under this new system, the Sivi people could not interact with other nations. This brought Christianity into Skyviolia as well as a variety of culture, the arts, music, dance, and spectacle. After the 1864 War of Nobles, the nobility was completely dissolved and full Hijis̈lita (Republicanism) was instituted.
The rise of Socialist and Communist ideas in Skyviolia did not come as a surprise, as the nation slowly modernized the people of Skyviolia began to see that their nation had become more and more ruled by the corrupt elite at the expense of the bourgeois. Even during monarchial times the populous was still treated fairly for their labor at least for the standards of those times. When the Skyviolian Communist Party was established in 1922, it spread like wildfire. In the 1964 elections for the Dummê, the Communist Party received the majority of seats. The leader of the Communist Party, Bibas Cïndo dissolved the Dummê system and instituted a communist authoritarian state. Even more controversially, the Communist Party dissolved the devolved and nativist government system, which had been in place for thousands of years. Internal strife and economic recession dominated the reign of Communists. In 1970, a Secretary of the Peoples Congress, Ridofâ Hüdhin, broke off from the Communist Party. Ridofâ Hüdhin was a social democrat, a progressive, and a liberal, while he was not a communist, he believed truly in liberal principles. Hüdhin was successful in rallying popular support for liberal and social democratic principles, inciting the August Revolution and finally overthrowing the Communist state. The transitional government was established to help the people of Skyviolia go through the transfer from communist state to liberal democratic republic and allow the Constitutional Convention to establish a new Constitution.
The new Directorial Government transformed the Skyviolian Communion from relatively poor to being a strong liberal democracy and Hüdhin would go down in history for being the one to found the principles of Skyviolian Democracy.

Anything else to add (optional): I have omitted information about my nation's government because I am still in the works of creating it. I am drafting the 1975 Constitution which has been coming along, but do have a general idea of what my nation's government is going to be like.
