Line 103:

Following the end of the War of Aggression, Fortuna fell into instability with the states losing control of chunks of the archipelago to crime gangs and rebel militant groups. In the mid 1970s, the Confederation began campaigns to retake the islands. However, due to a lack of a central government and the reliance of the states' personal military, the campaigns were a slow process that lasted into the late 1980s.

With the war still fresh in many Fortunans' minds and annoyance with the current ruling government, the want of a more unified nation under a strong government increased. The idea was headed by the [[Unitary Nationalist Party]] (UNP), a fascist political party whose goal was to unite the islands under one government and bring Fortuna back to its roots. ~~Their~~ popularity ~~slowly~~ ~~began~~ to rise ~~within~~ the ~~Fortunan~~ ~~population~~, peaking in the early 1990s after prominent UNP members in the military were able to defeat infamous militant groups with ease. One of these members was a young officer named [[Tristano Lyone]], a soldier in the Emili military who gained immense popularity for his victories. As the campaigns to retake the islands came to an end in 1989, Lyone moved away from the army and looked towards politics.

The idea was headed by the [[Unitary Nationalist Party]] (UNP), a fascist political party whose goal was to unite the islands under one government and bring Fortuna back to its roots. Started in Emili where dissent was at its highest on the archipelago, the party would start connected branches in the other states. The UNP would especially gain popularity in Toscani who had grown fatigued from the war and felt unfairly treated by the rest of the states, especially Ancona. Popularity in Ancona would rise at a much slower pace due to Anconan's higher class strong grip on the state and their fear that the UNP would tear down the state's political system. Overall, approval of the party and their goals continued to grow, peaking in the early 1990s after prominent UNP members in the military were able to defeat infamous militant groups with ease.

====Unitary Nationalist Party Takeover (1990-2000)====

By 1990, the UNP held almost half of the seats in all three federal bodies: 45% in Emili, 47% in ~~Ancona~~, and 38% in ~~Toscani~~. The UNP's main goal was to gain full control of all three governments and then unite under one strong central body. Even with barely half of the seats in the chambers, the UNP began working to set up Fortuna to be easily taken over in the up coming years such as replacing leadership roles of prominent organizations with UNP sympathizers and party members. Still, they needed someone to rally around and that came in the form of Tristano Lyone.

By 1990, the UNP held almost half of the seats in all three federal bodies: 45% in Emili, 35% in Toscani, and 24% in Ancona.

Still, they needed someone to rally around and that came in the form of Tristano Lyone.

Following his entrance into politics, Lyone took advantage of his military background, popularity, and charisma to lead many UNP rallies where he gained even more notoriety for his inspiring speeches. As he slowly gained more and more followers, he also slowly began to rise up in the ranks of the UNP. Seeing an opportunity with this young, charismatic speaker, UNP leaders convinced Lyone to run for Prime Minister of Emili in the 1996 Grand Elections. With a majority vote of 52.5%, Lyone won the seat of Prime Minister of Emili and was the youngest person in Fortunan history to become a head of state at the age of 27. In Ancona, Bernard Leandro, another prominent UNP member, became Prime Minister of Ancona with a majority vote of 53%. The party also gained a majority of the seats in the legislative branch of the three federal bodies with over half in all: 75% in Emili, 80% in ~~Ancona~~, and 66% in ~~Toscani~~.

With control of the executive branches in Emili and Ancona, and control of a majority of the seats in all three legislative branches, the party's next goal was to bring all three states under one centralized government, but first they needed something for Fortunans to come together for or against. On July 26, 1997, Edward Vicino, a prominent UNP member, was assassinated by a radical loyalist. During this time, tensions were high between the centralist faction, those who wished for a strong central government, and the loyalist faction, those who supported state sovereignty which mainly consisted of the nobility and upper class. Seeing an advantage with the death of Edward Vicino, the UNP saw this as an opportunity to wrestle the last amount of power from the loyalist faction. Tristano Lyone publicly announced that this as the start of a loyalist takeover and ordered for the targeting and arrest of known loyalists within Emili for treason, he was soon followed suit by the governments of Ancona and Toscani. The main target was the State Independence Party with over 4,000 known members were detained. Loyalists and sympathizers across the nation were attacked by UNP-led rioters who caused immense damage and casualties. By the end of August, over 15,000 individuals were arrested due to their background and an estimated 539 deaths were caused. On September 8, the Confederation passed the Political Protections Act which banned any political parties that were deemed "anti-Fortunan" or those who promoted a non-centralized government, including all three states' Independence Party, the largest loyalist political parties, removing nearly every rival that the UNP had in one blow. Although this led to the decline of many noble families, a few that remained supporters of the UNP have continued to exist to present day.
