This transitioned the nation from absolute monarchy to a democratic system, with codified rights and legal systems for the common people, set tax rates, election processes, and guarantees the government would need to fulfil such as defense and welfare. The Second Constitution of 1710 reorganized the administrative districts and added new laws, and the nation was renamed in 1783. No major changes in governing style took place since the First Constitution, however, and this is considered the founding of Casilló y Réal.

Historical Summary: The Constitutional Corric Kingdom of Casilló y Réal is a country located on the south-eastern portion of the continent. It is bordered to the south and east by the ocean and by its neighbors in other directions. Casilló y Réal is a united post-feudal state, which consolidated into one nation four hundred and thirty years ago from the Kingdom of Casilló and the Kingdom of Réal. With a combined national history going back almost 1800 years, Casilló y Réal is a cultural and vacation destination for many around the world. The territory, though largely peaceful now, has been fought over between the former feudal states for much of the time they existed. The first inhabitants were the Andora people, which split off into the Reóran and Arranzic ethnic groups which settled Réal and Casilló respectively. These groups ruled over neighboring territory and feuded for nearly 600 years over sole control. Conflicts during this period include the Invasion of Valle de María, the War of the Red River, and the Sieges of Eleçeron.
Five hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Réal was conquered after the Thirty-Years’ Bloodshed, a brutal war instigated by King Felipe I ‘the Bloody’ of Casilló. This saw most of the adult members of the House of Carreteó, rulers of Réal, slain, and the military dominance of the Arranzic people for the area. Though a martial victory for Casilló, tensions remained high and the economy of the region suffered as bandits scourged previously-patrolled countrysides and the common people of Réal either rioting or refusing to pay taxes to what they saw as a foreign occupier. The situation looked to devolve into war once more within a generation or two until King Felipe II, upon his father’s passing, betrothed his son to the surviving daughter of House Carreteó. The two youths became friends as they grew up in the Arranzic court, defying most expectations. King Felipe III of the House of Naranza married Alicia II ‘the Younger’ of the House of Carreteó the same day he was coronated. This marriage, and the measures his father took to address the Reóran peoples’ distress, allowed Felipe III to truly rule over a united country of both Arranzic and Reóran cultures for the first time in history. With the combination of the two states after several years of legal work and persuasion of the nobility, the Kingdom of Corric was officially founded.
In the centuries following, the astronomic talents of Reóran scholars were able to be combined with the nautical capabilities of Arranzic sailors, producing a thriving and wide-ranging trade fleet. Corric merchants traded the mineral and agricultural wealth of their nation in exchange for foreign crops, scientific methods and devices, and advances in military technology like gunpowder. Most of the profit generated from trade went to the already-wealthy merchants, nobles, and royals, which led to discontent culminating in the common populace rising up and demanding that the Kingdom adopt a constitution that provided checks on the monarchs’ power, diminished the legal authority of the nobility, and codified values such as the concept of citizenship, civil rights, taxation, and elective governance. King Juan Teo agreed to the demands after some resistance and committed the rest of his reign to reforming the government systems to better accommodate the common citizens. His ideals were influential enough that his grandson King Luca IV reorganized the territory of the kingdom into nine districts, in order to ensure that locals had adequate municipal and regional governance and to streamline the census. The legal and economic reforms of this period saw the Kingdom emerge stronger, with a larger tax base and more patriotic populace lending themselves to an increase in infrastructure projects, military growth, and industry expansion.
Near the end of the century, Queen Alexandra made the decision to rename the Kingdom to properly acknowledge the distinct heritages and ethnicities present within the nation. This established the Kingdom of Casilló y Réal, though the national demonym remains Corric. Casilló y Réal transitioned from a primarily agricultural economy to a mixed economy in this period. Modern methods of resource extraction and manufacturing allowed fallow areas of the nation to begin producing economically. The foodstuff and raw material exports are joined by farming equipment, chemicals, natural gas, defense equipment, railroad material, and automobiles. The impact of fossil fuels on the natural environment was researched heavily as coal and oil use rose; as a legal article within the constitution prohibits excessive destruction or harm of the nations’ natural lands, automobiles, trains, and aircraft became strictly regulated by the state. This anti-fossil fuels stance has prohibited Casilló y Réal from becoming a major power in matters military, economic, or industrial, but it remains a prosperous nation with good marks in human development, democracy, press freedoms, and social and environmental progress.
