As the birthplace of the [[lupine]] species, modern Volkia has been inhabited by various tribes since antiquity. The current capital and largest city, [[Volkgoroda]], was founded during a second set of migrations to the coasts as a stopping point in the 2nd Century. By the 4th Century, some lupine territories around Volkgoroda had been consolidated and formed the Grand Duchy of Volkgoroda. The Grand Duchy continued to expand militarily and economically, eventually declaring the Grand Principality of Volkia in 1154. The Kingdom of Volkia rose in 1578 following territorial acquisitions and growing economic and military dominance on the continent. The [[Volkian Revolution|Volkian revolution of 1885]] led to significant democratic rights and the abolition of the [[Monarchy of the Kingdom of Volkia|Volkian monarchy]].

The monarchy was officially dismantled in 1887 and was replaced by a federation made up of the former provinces of the Kingdom of Volkia. Monarchists launched several attempts to reestablish the monarchy, culminating in the [[Volkian Civil War]] from 1925 to 1926. The civil conflict resulted in a victory for the federal government and marked the end of major monarchist unrest in Volkia. Growing corruption and economic instability in the late 1960s and early 1970s destabilized the country, leading to widespread incidents of [[Blue Revolution|civil resistance]] which resulted in the amendment of the [[Constitution of Volkia|constitution]].

Various issues in Volkia including economic stagnation, social unrest, and massive crop failures ultimatley led to the fall of the Kingdom of Volkia. Crop failures led to widespread famine and food riots, the largest of which occurred in Volkgoroda. These riots and the threat of open revolt led to the abdication of the Volkian monarch and resulted in the abolishment of the Volkian monarchy as a whole.
