Origin
From January 2, 1933, until September 30, 1949, the Creeperian Civil War raged between the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council, commonly called the Romerists, and the National Council for Peace and Order, commonly called the Miguelists.

Notes
- ↑ The Constitution the Creeperian National Military Tribunal abided to was the Constitution which was adopted on October 4, 1949, after the end of the Creeperian Civil War. The Constitution that should have been enforced was the Creeperian Constitution of 1887 but it was disregarded. The judges voted unanimously to uphold the laws of the Creeperian Constitution of 1949 instead of the Creeperian Constitution of 1887.
