Background
The war was started over tensions between the Merchant Class and ruling Monarchy. The King Quintin III had been taking more power for himself, and spending the wealth of the treasury. This included rebuilding the capital city (including the royal palace) of Bloemfontein, and fighting a war against Ajakanistan which drained the wealth of the treasury and caused taxes to be raised. Since the capitol was flooded and destroyed the King had to move to Gjorka City while his palace was rebuilt. Having found his puppets he installed to run the city were instead in the pockets of the merchant class he attempted to reassert control. He assertions culminated in a coup attempt which failed and forced him to flee Gjorka City. The Merchants issued the Proclamation of the Free declaring the King tyrannical and the monarchy no longer legitimate.
