Line 83:
After the death of King Orleao von Auxilium, left without direct heirs, he was succeeded by his niece Carmine II. During her reign, the queen, a fervent supporter of women's rights and aware of cultural difficulties, promulgated various acts, gathered in the so-called equal statute; male authority over daughters and wives was abolished, female admissions were allowed to some state offices, sanctions for honor killing were instituted, and above all women were guaranteed a certain financial autonomy by male relatives, at the time a revolutionary concept. She was nicknamed Carmine the Great for her intelligent and rebellious character. In her last years as queen, she was in favor of a structural change in the country from a modern perspective; he redefined the public powers, then in conflict with each other and promoted a policy of innovation for the nation.
Carmine II's successor, Robert VI, was not at his height, leading the country into the lowest and darkest period in Phoenix history. He ascended the throne at the age of 24, very young, already suffering from various mental disorders, which led him to madness: he tortured and massacred numerous civilians, murdered his closest relatives and brought the country to the brink of a civil war. After his death a massive damnatio memoriae was carried out, all the acts taken during his reign, called of terror, were canceled.
His brother Paul IV, who returned after his confinement during the reign of terror, wanted to heal the great scar left by Robert VI. Therefore he revoked the state of siege; he commemorated those killed in the massacres and initiated a profound reorganization of the state, divided powers, he introduced universal suffrage for the first time in Phoenixian history and unified the parliament and gave them greater decision-making powers over the kingdom. There were several revolts by the rural aristocracy, which felt threatened by these changes, but which did not have a great impact. ▼

Paul IV's greatest merit is that of having called an institutional referendum, where the republic won, and of having accepted the will of the citizens. in the 1923 he abdicated from the throne, ending the millennial experience of the monarchy. Since 1946 due to the presidential decree n.11 he is celebrated as the hero of the nation, who has revived the fortunes of Phoenixia.

== Economy ==
-------
Phoexy's economy, following the transition, underwent profound structural changes, which in the following decades made it one of the major economic powers, thanks to a continuous process of economic growth that lasted until the early ten years of the 21st century. During this phase, the primary sector has seen a progressive downsizing (agriculture, breeding and fishing) in favor of the industrial and tertiary sector; it was accompanied by profound changes in the socio-productive fabric, following massive migrations from the hinterland to coastal industrial areas.
The industrialization phase came to an end in the seventies and the tertiarization of the economy is underway, with the development of banking, insurance, commercial, financial and communication services.
In recent years, the GDP growth trend has been slowing down.
Growth was 10% for 2014, 9% for 2015, 8.5% in 2016,
from 2017 to 2020, growth ranged between 8.2% and 7.4%.
In 2021 it has returned to growth of 8.3% and in 2022 it is expected to grow by 9%.
