The majority of the mainland was fractured between local lords and city states. Those were neutral during the civil war and in most cases were no march for the Loyalist and National Armies.

The Revolution of 5552, which also became known as the Kildarian Independence War or in certain Shirerithian sources known as the Anandjan Revolution , was a revolution which ended more than 5,000 years of Shirerithian dominance in Kildare and brought an end to the monarchy, effectively replacing it with a single-party military dictatorship.

Aftermath

The Revolution of 5552 ended in a crushing defeat for the Ryvenna Monarchy. The leaders were in most cases executed for high treason or send to re-education camps that were rapidly created throughout the country. The defeat of the monarchists - which were in most cases in favour of keeping ties with the Mango Throne - smashed the hope of several Shirerithian officials that Kildare would remain a part of the Imperial Republic.

With the National Movement of Trajan Myksos firmly in the saddle, the official capital was moved to Blackrock Nua. With the thousands of deaths, enormous collateral damage and the local economy of many villages in ruin, new reforms were deemed necessary to improve the lives of the Kildari.

Upon this the National Movement redivided the fractured nation into districts and provinces, ignoring former cultural and political bounds, abolished the privileges of royalty and nobles, encouraged participation in nation-wide organisations (replacing local patriotic societies) to promote Apollonian nationalism and plunged enormous sums of money in the development of Kildfare and the (re-)construction of roads.
