=== Cartegine Revolution ===


On June 16, 1944, there were widespread protests in the automobile and textile factories in Cartegine, marking the largest demonstrations during the Unionist dictatorship. The main cause of the strikes was the high cost of living, with food scarcity and denunciation of exorbitant prices being the primary reasons. Inflation, caused by the massive issue of money since 1939, had doubled the cost of living.
On June 16, 1944, widespread protests in the automobile and textile factories in Cartegine marked the largest demonstrations during the Unionist dictatorship, sparked by high living costs, food scarcity, and denunciation of exorbitant prices. Inflation caused by the massive issue of money by the Phoxia Royal Bank had doubled the cost of living.


The protests marked the beginning of the Cartegine Revolution or Phoenixian Civil War, which saw opposing pro-Unionists and partisans. The unrest quickly transformed into a general anti-government revolt.
The ''Araforsian Nation'' newspaper resumed its clandestine publication, thanks to Gaetano Valerio in a farmhouse in Swingle, and this contributed to the spread of the strike in the Meerle area after it spread to Cartegine thanks to a widespread distribution of clandestine leaflets.


The clandestine publication of the "Araforsian Nation" newspaper, thanks to entrepreneur Gaetano Valerio financial aid, contributed to the spread of the strike through widespread distribution of clandestine leaf.
The protest marked the beginning of the Cartegine Revolution or Phoenixian Civil War, which saw opposing pro-Unionists and partisans. The unrest lost almost any link with the original cause and transformed into a general anti-government revolt. Leone Ausilio, perceiving the demonstrations as a political threat, ordered military forces to open fire, killing and injuring women, children, and the elderly. The revelation of Ausilio's responsibility resulted in massive riots and civil unrest across the country, reaching the capital Phoxia.


The Cartegine Revolution continued to gain momentum, and the pro-Unionist forces began to crumble. The revolutionaries took control of many key cities and infrastructure, and the Unionist Party was quickly losing its grip on power.
On the morning of June 20, the news arrived of the suspicious death of Rover Relver, Chief of the Defense Staff, later confirmed as suicide. An anonymous informant (whose identity was never discovered) from the secret services gave the news to the press, who immediately published it. Believing that Relver had been murdered, ordinary soldiers went to the side of the revolution almost en masse. The disillusioned generals viewed Ausilio as a lost cause and made no effort to keep their soldiers loyal to the Unionist regime, they instead sided against Ausilio.


The conflict continued for several months, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. However, it became clear that the rebels were gaining the upper hand, as they continued to make significant gains and win the support of the people.
Ausilio made a desperate attempt to address the crowd gathered in front of the government building, but people in the square began throwing stones and waste at him, forcing him to take refuge in the building along with his family and a circle of loyalists. Ausilio and his wife Marta, tried to flee the capital by helicopter, but were soon captured by the military.


The chaotic situation provided an opportunity for a group of disillusioned generals to seize power for themselves. They launched a coup against Ausilio Leone and his regime. Amidst this turmoil, a provisional government was formed, composed of leaders from various political and social groups. Their primary focus was to restore order and rebuild the country.
After being tried and convicted of several crimes, they were executed by a platoon.


As soon as Peter I learned of the clashes between the police and the protesters, he organized the escape with the royal family to an unknown location.
When Pietro I, the ruling monarch, learned of the clashes, he organized the escape of the royal family to an unknown location. In the subsequent Karlinberga Trial, many prominent Unionist party officials were arrested and executed by a platoon.

The provisional government organized an institutional referendum on the form of state, leading to the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a federal democratic republic. Deputies of the constituent assembly were elected to draft a new constitutional charter. The royal family was subsequently banned from re-entering the country, and their assets, including the Phoxia Royal Palace, were confiscated.
