History

The Seluco-Dunic Empire was composed of northern Artania's nowadays nations, until it was fractured into several independent kingdoms. The Kingdom of Dundorf was then formed. The Kingdom of Dundorf consisted in an elective monarchy formed by the Dunic tribes, and it became the central and most powerful kingdom from the Seluco-Dunic Empire. Dundorf controlled Ikradon.

As the Kingdom of Dundorf dominated many of the northern-Artanian kingdoms, the Seluco-Dunic Empire became known as the Dundorfian Reich, achieving the imperial title of Kaiser by the end of the 13th century.

By the 19th century, the Dundorfian Reich establishes many colonies all around the world, resulting in cultural and religious conflicts, the rise of Martin Luthor and Tasselism, amongst other events, which culminated in the formation of the Dundorfian Reich/Empire under the rule of Kaiser Wilhelm in 1831. It consisted in a collection of smaller kingdoms, (grand) duchies, counties, etc.

In the early 20th century, the Dundorfian Reich experiences a great number of nationalist movements. This era is often called the "Collapse of the Dundorfian Reich" and resulted in a civil war which created five new independent states.

With the collapse of the Reich, Dundorf turned to be a conservative nation under the transformation of a democratic system. With the Conservative Party ruling for 70 years, the Democrat Party wins the elections in January 2019 and slowly starts the transformation of Dundorf into a democracy.
