A Breif Timeline Leading to the Establishment of the Union
1986 - Workers rights in Fornoire are at an all time low with finishing of a major industrialization of the west and many labor laws lifted in order to increase production. The Southwestern region of Fornoire was considered laid back and a lot of times lazy due to the lack of industrialization compared to it's eastern counterpart the west with a lot of small towns and minor mining/farming industry with a few big cities.
Those small towns and ideas of a laid back communities were all replaced during the Western Industrialization it brought factories to the big cities and larger farming operations to small towns. With outside companies taking over the mining industry this lead to a national migration to the west with the eastern population growing they searched for jobs in the west. This was not taken well by the slightly culturally different people of the western half. In order to target this many Labor Unions began to spring up especially in the west where the industrialization was not received well.
These Labor Unions in the west weren't taken well by the local government at first and ordered companies to allow them and brought many rights to the workers. The Governor of the region was located in Edwardtown and even though being close to the capital his law stretched out as far as Kumari city. He took the first steps of closing the labor unions down in order to increase production and replacing the local government in his governing region. The Kumari city labor Unions didn't take this very well by starting strikes and eventually the 1986 occupation of Kumari Industrail district. These events lead to many joining their cause and even started Unions in the east.
1987 - Wolfric Swartvec was one of the leaders of the Labor Movement and was elected mayor of Kumari with a promise to bring rights back to the people Febuary 22, 1987. Though with his criminal background he was able to pardon himself being elected by the people, but his wife Natalia Swartvec was not pardoned and was arrested the same day when the couple were on their way to make a victory speech. This caused the crowd that gathered and the couple to start a riot.
The according to Fornoire history this is the date the Labor Movement began it's revolt they crowd of angry people took the town and sent word to Unions and people in support of the Labor Movement. February 23,1987 Aleksander Welczek another major leader of the movement heard Kumari's revolt and he lead the Labor movement of Catherine and began to quickly overrun the city. The Royalty was evacuated along with many other governing officials and propped up a new capital in Edwardtown a fortress of a city. Region after region fell to the labor movements within them, after Catherine's revolt they were out numbered by their own people.
Wolfric Swartvec remains in Kumari setting up a new government and coming up with battle strategies to take Edwardtown and the Northeastern region the remaining Fornoire territory on the mainland.
1988 - By now Wolfric had established system of government in order to control all of the Fornoire Kingdom by allowing the already elected leader of the labor movement in each region control their own land and people of the region. They would all vote as a republic on big issues mainly battle strategies and distributing rations between regions. The labor movement leaders separately govern their own people distributing rations and finding shelter for everyone during the revolt.
The battles of Edwardtown were fierce and bombardment of coastal cities by the Fornoirian navy proved weary for the new republic. The Northeastern regions soon fell and by August 1988 Fornoire was occupied by it's own people. There was resistance with loyalist and those who didn't want communism they normally stayed quiet as there was usually floggings or other forms of punishment and public humiliation for those who spoke against the labor movement.
1989 - The Labor Movement has officially embedded itself in Fornoire excluding Edwardtown and the islands outside the mainland. Most of the Naval bombardment and attempts to invade was diverted to Catherine at this point Kumari was able to create it's new policies that would affect the people but still remained heavily focused on Edwardtown in order to defend the entirety of the nation.
Things began to take a turn for the worst as Edwardtown began to push past the people's militia and pushed all the way to Catherine. Usually when the Fornoirian military pushed, militia forces from the west would come from the side but due to the increased number of invasions in Catherine and the east coast all major forces were diverted there. This took a turning as Catherine was now facing forces on both sides.
1990 - Catherine was liberated and the forces in Northeast and East began to retreat west. The Fornoirian military began moving north to recapture northern regions and with ease as labor movement rebels fled west once Catherine was liberated. The Forces eventually stopped and with the fall of many region republics in the east Wolfric assumed control off all regions in order to created stability. He ordered that defenses be built along the region's, that capitals haven't been lost to Fornoire, borders facing east. These defenses were very minor with mines and fencing closer to the southern coast. As Fornoire pushed north they began to go west and south were they met the defenses.
1991 - 2010 The defenses began to become a race with each side adding more mines or adding fences. Wolfric began construction on about a three meter tall concrete wall it started on the northern borders which was less active and began to stretch down. Quick and cheap bunkers were constructed to defend construction process along with artillery which was slowly beginning to be manufactured along with tanks and due to the relatively new factories already built on none coastal cities thanks to Fornoire they were produced at a rate to help defend.
Once the wall was completed with bunkers, watch towers, mines, Artillery, and even dogs for those who made it over the wall passed the mines. The R.C.S.K. was able to create a cease fire with Fornoire with defenses built like this and the military in bad shape on both sides their was no chance of total victory for either side. Wolfric remained in absolute power having said "I knew what was best when I started the revolution I know what is best now."
Wolfric began enforcing his own policies and was unable to mimic the approval results of the previous republic as well as production. So in order to increase production and keep the economy stable while being able to stay in complete power he had to take away the very thing that got him where he was labor rights. The R.C.S.K. became an extremely planned economy as people were given food healthcare housing work cars and small pay for luxuries such as power or alcohol.
His plan for the most part actually did increase economic growth and created many trade partners due to production efficiency. Though he was met with unhappy citizens and an opposition party called the Union whose members began to disrupt many of Wolfric's on goings and they were eventually driven out and destroyed.
2011 - 2016 The Nation was getting used to it's way of life and borders were open for people to leave in 2011 and many stayed as life outside this planned economy would be extremely difficult. Wolfric had changed everything road laws and how business was conducted court systems everything making it impossible to exist in the outside world. Fascism affected the planned economy as everyone was seen as equals no man was paid more or received more than the other. This idea of one man being superior than the other could jeopardize the entire system as these were capitalist thoughts the idea that one man could be greater than the other.
They responded with internment camps which were put in place to find any form of Fascism within the nation traitors to communism. Many were found and imprisoned or deported after the camps have processed every citizen 47 camps were closed and 2 remain for future citizens and children who reach 20 years old legal age for adulthood.
The fight against Fornoire was also beginning to cool down just a little as the Parliamentary system was enacted and the King succeeded. However the R.C.S.K. was not interested in any relations with Fornoire and during the recent civil war within Fornoire and it's military the R.C.S.K. was planning on invading from behind until Alassahran military intervention made them rethink. Soon after the R.C.S.K. had their own civil war on their hands with the people unhappy with Wolfric and inspired by the Fornoire Civil War they revolted.
2017 - The Union a party that opposed Wolfric and was destroyed reemerged and with the support of Aleksander Welczek, the army, and other government officials they were rid of Wolfric. However the Union was not the only party wanting to take control there are many other parties still fighting for control the Union just controls a vast majority of the popularity and many officials so other parties mainly try to infiltrate the Union.
