Kadolha

Kadolha (Kadolhan: Кадољска / Kadoljska), officially the Republic of Kadolha (Kadolhan: Народовладство Кадољска / Narodovladstvo Kadoljska), is a  located in southern Zemlya, bordering Lipnitia to the north, Behalavia to the south and Lubilia to the east. Kradelas is located in the Capital Voivodeship and it is the official seating of the government. Kadolha has roughly a population of 93 million people.

The Kadolhans are an ethnic group that formed in the Cozars in the 6th century, migrating from what is now known as modern-day Sremia. Kadolhans were originally split into several tribes that inhabited northern Kadolha, and were constantly on the offensive against the Eutrucian Empire. The Kadolhan despotate would officially form in the 603, also led by the first recorded Kadolhan leader, Nemanja I. The despotate would be succeeded by the Kingdom of Kadolha in 692, followed by the establishment of one of the oldest empires in Zemlyan history in 713, the Kadolhan Empire. The Kadolhan Empire expanded further into central Zemlya and the south Cozars, until finally dissolving in 1503.

In 1508, the Principality of Kradelas was formed with assistance from the Republic of Kalalj. Kradelas essentially became the center of Kadolhan identity and unity. Two centuries later, in 1616, Veljko III issued a declaration of war on all the successor states, except the Republic of Kalalj, whom it allied with. This war came to be known as the Reunification War, playing a vital role in Kadolhan history. Kradelas succeeded in conquering all modern Kadolhan territories, officially reunifying the country in 1711, forming the First Kadolhan Republic. The First Republic was dissolved in 1802 after a coup led by Darko Brkić, where he overthrew Radovan Grgić and declared a temporary, before marking the beginning of the Second Kadolhan Republic.

The 19th century marks the beginning of tensions between Kadolha and Sremia. Kadolha occupied southwest Lipnitia in retaliation to the Sremian invasion of Lipnitia in 1865, and setting up the Protectorate of Krasnograd as dependnet territory. In 1882, Rastislav Prodić began a second after the death of Ranko Đokić. In 1897, Kadolha invaded Lubilia in an attempt to reunify other Kadolhan-speaking lands. 1910 marks the beginning of the First Great War, the country finding itself in war against Kus and Sremia. The war ended in a stalemate in 1920, and shortly after its end, the military dictatorship was abolished by Predrag Milutinović and Pavle Jondić was elected President. On 5 August 1924, The Storming of Kradelas, perpetrated by the National Revivalist Party and its founder, Dragan Obrenović, overthrew the Jondić administration and formed the Revivalist Third Kadolhan Republic. Kadolha would emerge victorious in a short civil war fought against the Kadolhan Workers' Republic in 1931. Kadolha found itself in war against Sremia in the Second Great War, which resulted in a stalemate. Kadolha was the founding member of the CSDO, along with Bloodia, which also in turn started the Cold War. Kadolha also played a major role in the Lyrinian Civil War, and in 1991, having invaded the Lubilian SCR. The result of the 1992 Congress of Ljećakow also marks the beginning of the Bloodian-Kadolhan Split.

Kadolha is the leading member of the Collective Strategic Defense Organization and the Cozar Union. Nemanja Božanović has been the country's leader since 1987, along with Jovana Todorović, who is serving since 2005, who is also the first female Supreme Councilor in Kadolhan history. Kadolha has adhered a isolationist policy with closed borders, although there are many ethnic groups located on the borders with neighboring countries. Kadolha is ranked as one of the richest and most developed countries in the world. The government provides free education and a universal healthcare system for all its citizens.

Prehistory and antiquity
Humans have inhabited Kadolha since the, as proven by archeological discoveries from across the country. Archeological evidence that there were human inhabitants during the was only found in a small area in the northeastern portion of the country.

Archeological finds prove that roughly between 7,000 BI and 4,500 BI is when cultures like the Kaluča culture, Neleč culture and Kočave culture were present in the western Cozars. Pottery believed to belong to the Neleč are the most commonly found in excavation sites. Only one example of culture was found at an excavation site in western Kadolha.

The saw Kadolha primarily populated by five major tribes, three of which were situated in the south and believed to be Lyrenic tribes. Volari and Ikalasi were settled in the north, Kartaka, Pavari and Jerteri in the south. These tribes were first discovered and documented by the Anciest Cestrosians. There was also a number of tribes that settled in northern Kadolha.

During the expansion of the Eutrucian Empire, the majority of the land was conquered and was the site of multiple rebellions and battles. The Eutrucians established the province of Lyrenium in 188 BI, which encompassed the south of the country. The land was dotted with Eutrucian cities, settlements, forts, military camps, temples and palaces, notably the remnants of the city of Saradium, located in western Vežaljska.

The arrival of the Slavs to the Cozars saw a significant amount of Eutrucian cities and settlements sacked, including Cestrosian settlements after the Eutrucian Empire was kicked out of the Cozars. There are remnants of Cestrosian forts, settlements and one city in southern Kadolha today.

Despotate
The prelude to the establishment of the Kadolhan despotate is the Slavic migration to the Cozars and the formation of the Kadolhans as an ethnic group. Kadolhans quickly came into contact with the Eutrucian Empire that they started to ravage and sack. With the Eutrucian Empire facing its downfall, the Kadolhans were mostly successful in pushing the Eutrucians deeper into the Cozars, while settling on conquered land in the process.

603 marks the year the Kadolhan despotate was officially established with Nemanja I Vračarević as despot, who is also the first recorded Kadolhan leader. Nemanja I sought to destroy the Eutrucian Empire and expel it from the Cozars after expanding the despotate more south, but died of old age in 626. Radoslav I Vračarević expanded the country into western Lubilia and westwards into the mainland, though Radoslav II Vračarević was responsible for campaigning deeper into the Cozars. The despotate reached its maximum extent before Radoslav II declared himself king and established the Kingdom of Kadolha.

Kingdom
The Kingdom of Kadolha was established when Radoslav II Vračarević declared himself king in 692. Radoslav II reigned as king for 9 years, but was killed during the Battle of Saradium. He was succeeded by Stefan I Vračarević who's campaign against the Eutrucian Empire in the Cozars led to a fast and rapid expansion of the kingdom. His campaign was considered a miracle by historians, where it's often believed that there was a godly power aiding him, he is also regarded to as one of the best military commanders in Kadolhan history.

Stefan I Vračarević's personal campaign was expanding the country further west into the mainland until they reached the Green Sea. Stefan I assigned his best commanders to lead the eastern, central and southern campaigns. Stevan Krljun's eastern campaign took the lands in west Lubilia and a part of south Lipnitia, while Vladimir Kaljić expanded the country south. Stefan I would also move the capital from Laškana to what is now modern-day Kradelas.

The Kingdom of Kadolha would reach its maximum extent in 722, where Stefan I Vračarević declared himself an emperor and established the Kadolhan Empire.

Kadolhan Empire
The Kadolhan Empire was established in 722 when Stefan I Vračarević declared himself emperor. Even though Stefan I's campaign was successful in expanding the kingdom, he did not stop until the Eutrucians were completely gone from west Kadolha. The first emperor would continue to reign for another 17 years until he died of old age in 739.

The Kadolhan Empire would conquer the land along the coast of the Kadolhan Sea in the 8th century, and expand further north into Lipnitia. The empire would remain ruled by the Vračarević dynasty until the last emperor, Velislav I Vračarević, died in 776 without a successor. The empire was struck with a dilemma, there was no successor and the Eastern Eutrucian Empire started rebuilding their legions. It was quickly decided that a noble from the Belosavljević dynasty would have to be chosen for the throne. Beloslav I Belosavljević was crowned emperor in the Temple of Vremeslav outside of Kradelas. Emperor Beloslav I priortized building a large army in order to be able to face the Eutrucian legions, although his short reign met with a fatal illness did not manage to do as such in such a short period of time. In 782 successor, Beloslav II Belosavljević would continue his legacy and when the Eutrucians attacked in 789, he was able to repel the attack and push the Eutrucians back. With the destruction of the legions, Beloslav II led his armies south and conquered the northern bit of what is now modern-day Veršec. Beloslav IV Belosavljević was the first Kadolhan emperor to ever resign from his position, as his actions made him highly unlikeable among the populace.

The golden age of the Kadolhan Empire arrived in 966, when Nikola III Belosavljević was crowned emperor. He was often referred to as a reincarnation of Stefan Kraljević, patron hero of the Kadolhans and the Slayer of Eutrucians, because of the ruthless killings of Eutrucians at the time. His reign was the second longest out of all Kadolhan emperors, lasting for 61 years. For the duration of his reign he would conquer the rest of modern-day Kadolha, and lead a campaign that expanded the empire into Lipnitia, all of Lubilia and western Trakia. He is responsible for reforming the Pravjerje, where Vremeslav was replaced by Ratibog as the chief god of the pantheon. A giant statue of Ratibog was erected in Lipnovo and Kradelas became the center of Ratibog worship with the construction of a large temple (later renamed to the Temple of Vremeslav). Nikola III believed that honoring the god of war above the god of time would bring victory in every battle. His reign ended with his death in 1027, also marking the end of the golden age.

The reign of the Belosavljević dynasty ended in 1070, after the highly unlikeable emperor Velibor II Belosavljević who intended on coverting the nation to was killed by Dragoljub I Vukašinović and his order of knights. Dragoljub I has not done much in regards of conquering land, but has brought stability and order to the Kadolhan Empire.

Under the rule of Vuk I Vukašinović, the Kadolhan Empire expanded past west Lipnitia and into Sataria. Vuk II led a successful campaign against a number of Satarian kingdoms, conquering the majority of Sataria and establishing a border with the Kingdom of Bloodia. The reign of Vuk I was the longest out of all, just a year ahead of Nikola III Belosavljević. Vuk II Vukašinović expanded the empire southeast and conquered half of Veršec. He was responsible for undoing Nikola III's religious reform, making Vremeslav the chief god of the pantheon again and converting the Temple of Ratibog in Kradelas to the Temple of Vremeslav. Marija I Vukašinović was the first and only empress of the Kadolhan Empire. She was notorious for persecuting Issians in the 14th century, along with the introduction of brutal and inhumane torture methods.

The Kadolhan Empire eventually met its demise in 1503 after Dragoljub III Vukašinović's campaign in Cestros. The empire was dismantled into several independent states by decree of the emperor.

Dissolution of the Empire
In 1503, after Dragoljub III Vukašinović's campaign in Cestros and Vreteke came to a stalemate, the Kadolhan Empire was devastatingly hit by the consequences of the war. Despite managing to take the Lyrenian peninsula and advance past the Cestrosian border regions, the cost of resources and manpower it took to conquer those lands had a major impact on the stability of the empire. Poverty, civil unrest and the possibility of a civil war forced Dragoljub III to issue a decree that dissolved the Kadolhan Empire into thirteen states, most of which were former fiefdoms. Dragoljub III resigned from the throne, and because he was sterile, without any successors, the Vukašinović dynasty also came to an end.

Conquered lands out of Kadolha either regained independence, became vassals or were conquered by major powers in Zemlya at the time. Such is the case with Sataria, which was instantly taken by the Kingdom of Bloodia after the Kadolhan Empire dissolved. Lubilia gained independence, the south Cozars were reconquered by Cestrosian states and Trakia retook the lands in its border region. The Heavenly Kingdom of Lyrinia and the Second Kingdom of Vreteke declared independence, and the Lipnitian lands were to be retaken by the Lipnitian Empire

Out of the empire came thirteen newly established states, although the fourteenth state was established later on, the original thirteen states were the Republic of Kalalj, Republic of Jakovac, Grand Kingdom of Akažija, Republic of Medača, Republic of Talesija, Kingdom of Vešalija, Kingdom of Trižanija, Principality of Peljušin, Duchy of Aševska, Grand Duchy of Jarecija, Republic of Goskana, Kingdom of Levušna and the Duchy of Kavešija. The fourteenth state was the Principality of Kradelas, which was formed in 1508, though prior to that its territory was split between the Republic of Kalalj and the Duchy of Aševska.

Principality of Kradelas and reunification
After the Kadolhan Empire dissolved, control over the capital Kradelas was placed in question, whether it should remain split between the Republic of Kalalj and the Duchy of Aševska or be granted independence. It was commonly referred to as the Kradelas Question, and it was a five-year long debate between successor states. Eventually, in 1508, with the pressure of the Republic of Kalalj, the Principality of Kradelas was formed. Although, it did not go in favor with the other states' stances, Kradelas was given its original territory it held under the Kadolhan Empire.

The Principality of Kradelas was set to be ruled by Knez Dragomir I Radosavljević, a member of the Radosavljević dynasty. Dragomir I would start amassing an army in secrecy, at the same time as he opened up trade relations with other states. Shortly after the death of Dragomir I in 1544, Veljko I ordered the idea of a unified Kadolha to be propagated throughout Kradelas and in the Republic of Kalalj. Though Kadolhan unification was a controversial topic at the time, it was mostly confined to Kradelas and Kalalj, as all the other states viewed unification rather uneasy.

After the death of Veljko II Radosavljević in 1609, Veljko III Radosavljević was left with a gigantic army waiting for war, though he had postponed the declaration of war by seven years. In 1616 he asked the clergy in the Temple of Vremeslav whether to go to war or not, the clergy would tie three rows of spears together with two spears facing downwards under an angle. They would then bring a white horse, and when the horse was about to jump starting off from its right leg, Veljko III notified Ivan Krljić, leader of the Republic of Kalalj at the time to prepare for war. Veljko III issued a formal declaration of war against twelve states on 2 July 1616 with reunification as casus belli. The Principality of Kradelas received diplomatic support from the Kingdom of Bloodia during the war, which in turn shaped Kadolhan-Bloodian relations for centuries to come. The war came to be known as the Reunification War.

Despite being largely outnumbered, the Principality of Kradelas and the Republic of Kalalj emerged victorious in the majority of battles fought. The Duchy of Aševska fell in 1624, Duchy of Kavešija in 1627, Grand Duchy of Jarecija in 1632, the Kingdom of Levušna formally surrendered in 1636 after a defeat in the Battle of Lajno Polje, Republic of Goskana in 1641, Grand Kingdom of Akažija in 1668, Principality of Peljušin in 1670, Republic of Medača in 1676, Kingdom of Vešalija in 1688 and the Kingdom of Tržanija in 1702. The Kingdom of Jakovac fell after a devastating defeat in the Battle of Galebica on 4 August 1711. On 26 July 1711, Vukašin I Radosavljević formally dissolved the Principality of Kradelas together with the Republic of Kalalj and formed the First Kadolhan Republic. The Reunification War still remains the longest war fought on Kadolhan soil and one of the longest wars in history.

First Kadolhan Republic
The First Kadolhan Republic was created with the conclusion of the Reunification War in 1711. It was the only country whose government was modeled after the Eutrucian Republic, bearing a similar, but modified system. Positions with similar roles and tasks to Eutrucian ones were created: Supreme Councilor, Judge , Monetary Tax Councilor , Temple Councilor , Treasury Councilor , People's Councilor and Representative Councilor. Unlike the Eutrucian system, popular elections would take every six years and can serve two terms as the Supreme Councilor. Compared to the Kadolhan council, the Eutrucian senate was almost twice its size.

Overseas exploration and colonization of lands in Irisia and Maimunia happened during the existence of the First Kadolhan Republic. Kadolha established its first trading ports on the Nelatian coast in the late 18th century.

Throughout the existence of the First Republic, internal disputes happened and colonial wars were fought against local tribes. In 1800, Radovan Grgić won the popular election, most likely through voter fraud and empty promises made to the people. His popularity started decreasing rapidly in 1801 and in 1802, in the early morning of January 6, Colonel Darko Brkić with ten soldiers staged a coup against Radovan Grgić, executing him on the spot after being sentenced on grounds of treason and fraud. Colonel Brkić declared a five-month long to stabilize the country, before transitioning to a  and declaring the Second Kadolhan Republic.

Second Kadolhan Republic
The formation of the Second Kadolhan Republic is preceeded by the 1802 coup against Supreme Councilor Radovan Grgić, whose popularity started decreasing rapidly since the end of 1801. He was overthrown and executed by Colonel Darko Brkić, followed by a five-month long that was established in order to lay the foundation for a new republic. On 10 May 1802, Colonel Brkić allowed the country to transition to a and establish the Second Kadolhan Republic. Darko Brkić was technically the first acting President of the Second Kadolhan Republic, so he could oversee the new republic's first elections. The new presidential system allowed the president to essentially be the and  in a multi-party system, with legislative power vested in the president, government and National Assembly. The new constitution allowed the president to serve a six-year term, and can serve up to two terms.

Jovan Glibić was the first President of the Second Kadolhan Republic to be elected, although his one served term did not have any significance in Kadolhan history, he is also the founder of the Democratic Party of Kadolha. Kadolhan politics in the 19th century were considered a battleground between the mainstream parties, such as the aforementioned Democratic Party of Kadolha, the Kadolhan Radical Party and the Conservative Party of Kadolha. Although representatives of the Kadolhan Unitary Party and the Republican Party managed to grab some seats in the National Assembly. David Došlić was the only Republican president to serve a term, along with Velibor Stojanović, who was the only Unitarist.

In 1804, the Second Kadolhan Republic would get involved in the Republican Wars, joining the republican side and starting a military campaign against the United Kingdom of Behalavia, the Grand Duchy of Lipnitia and later on the Kingdom of Cestros. The serving president at the time, Jovan Glibić, was forced to drag Kadolha into war by decision, which was voted on by the National Assembly. The majority of the cabinet also supported the decision. Elections would remain to be hosted until the end of the wars, as the country itself was not invaded or at threat. The United Kingdom of Behalavia was defeated in 1810 after a six-year long campaign, officially establishing a republic, although its royal family would remain in exile for many years, after managing to flee the country. From 1810, Kadolha carried the war to the Kingdom of Cestros in an eight year-long campaign, which by mid-1818 ended with the toppling of the Cestrosian monarchy, and starting the Republic of Cestros. The same year, Cestros and Kadolha attacked the Heavenly Kingdom of Lyrinia, marking the beginning of the Lyrinian campaign, and in 1819 disposed the royal family and executed them, followed with the establishment of the Republic of Lyrinia. In 1820, the focus that was laid onto the Behalavian, Cestrosian and Lyrinian campaign led to a stalemate on the front with the Grand Duchy of Lipnitia, also marking the end of the Republican Wars. Kadolha only managed to gain the land of the modern-day voivodeship of Novašovac, otherwise having failed to depose the Lipnitian monarchy.

Colonization also began under the second republic, the first notable protectorate was established in north Maimunia in 1853, known as Nelatia. The most culturally notable colony is Balekaria, established as a protectorate in 1855. In 1857, protectorates of Bamey and Yumbo were also established, while the Irisian colonies were in the process of colonization, due to the unfriendly conditions the land offered.

In 1865, Kadolhan forces occupied southwestern Lipnitia in retaliation to the Sremian invasion of the aforementioned country. This event marked the beginning of the Kadolhan-Sremian War, which would prove to be one of the deadliest conflicts in Zemlyan history and a prelude to a series of great wars in the future. The Lipnitian capital Krasnograd was successfully saved from a Sremian siege during the Battle of Krasnograd, which led the Lipnitians to see the Kadolhans as their saviors as part of the "Kadolhan myth". The administration of Goran Ivančević oversaw the formation of a dependent territory in the area of Krasnograd, commonly known as the Protectorate of Krasnograd.

Hours after the mysterious death of Ranko Đokić on 7 July 1882, who was serving his second term in a row, General Rastislav Prodić marched on the National Assembly Building, dismissing all members of cabinet and the National Assembly with the sentence "comply or be shot". All parties were to be disbanded, declared illegal and their leadership arrested. Though some parties continued to operate underground, they didn't go fully defunct until the early 1900s. Members of the Kadolhan Radical Party attempted to stage a coup in 1895, but failed having been prevented by the army, resulting in the execution of all party members involved. The Kadolhan Radical Party was formally disbanded by its remaining members months later. The only party that remained active underground was the Democratic Party of Kadolha. During this period, rogue generals appointed to lead the Protectorate of Krasnograd by the dictatorship had enforced laws that discriminated the native Lipnitian population, leading to a period of political upheaval in the dependency.

On 15 March 1897, Kadolha declared war on the Kingdom of Lubilia, with the goal of ousting the royal family and annexing the country. Ever since the reunification of Kadolha, Lubilia was one of the two remaining Kadolhan-speaking country that wasn't part of Kadolha. Rastislav Prodić thought that the reunification still hadn't been completed, and that the Lubilian royal family was standing in the path of reunification. The Lubilians had no desire to fight Kadolhans, letting the army march into Lubilia with zero resistance. Lubilia was officially annexed by Kadolha on 16 March 1897, the royal family having exiled itself to Lyrinia. General Prodić also planned on invading the Kingdom of Lyrinia, but these plans were soon scrapped due to the rise in geopolitical tensions in the 1900s. The annexation of Lubilia and planned invasion of Lyrinia was often characterised as an attempt to form Greater Kadolha.

General Rastislav Prodić died on 18 May 1911, a year before the beginning of the First Great War, leaving the country in the hands of Predrag Milutinović, selected as the successor to General Prodić by the State Military Council. Milutinović led the country until the end of the First Great War in 1920, legalizing parties and allowing free elections to be held as well as liberalizing the leadership in the Protectorate of Krasnograd, whilst successfully reverting the country back to a before stepping down on 31 August 1920, after the conclusion of the 1920 Kadolhan presidential election. Milutinović was pressured by public protests to abolish the, as an end result of the stalemate in the First Great War. Scholars consider this a fatal, but a crucial turning point in Kadolhan history. Pavle Jondić, member of the Democratic Party of Kadolha, was elected the twelfth President of the Second Kadolhan Republic, the first president to be elected after the 38-year long military dictatorship. Jondić pushed for liberal reforms, as well as legalizing same-sex marriage, abortion and brothels. The National Revivalist Party, headed by Dragan Obrenović, executed The Storming of Kradelas on 5 August 1924, seized control of the city with almost no resistance and stormed the National Assembly Building. Pavle Jondić was captured and executed in front of the public eye, whilst the then current National Assembly was dismissed. Dragan Obrenović declared the Third Kadolhan Republic and himself as its Vrhovni Vođa, marking the end of the Second Kadolhan Republic.

Interwar period
After the end of the First Great War in 1920, Predrag Milutinović was pressurized by public protests to abolish the military dictatorship and revert back to a, by which he was forced to step down on 31 August the same year. The outcome of the 1920 Kadolhan presidential election placed Pavle Jondić, a candidate of the Democratic Party of Kadolha, as the President. The Jondić administration oversaw the passing of liberal reforms and the legalization of same-sex marriage, abortion and brothels. The country was hit by an economic crisis, at the time which affected many other countries in Zemlya, as a consequence of the First Great War. The National Revivalist Party was formed the same year, founded by Dragan Obrenović.

The situation for the Second Kadolhan Republic was getting worse every year, although Jondić was mostly popular among the liberal crowd, his popularity began declining with the Kadolhan population. The National Revivalist Party used this to its advantage and started printing out propaganda, recruiting and organizing public rallies. In May 1922, members of the National Revivalist Party destroyed an entire in Kradelas by setting fire to it, later on known as the Week of the Red Fire. Police was unable to stop the Revivalists, as well as the culling of and clients that followed. Obrenović and his party were forced to go underground after being declared state enemies following the event. On 8 June 1922, the Revivalists set fire to a in Aćimovićgrad. A library dedicated to sexual research books was set on fire the same year on 19 July. Towards the end of 1922, the Revivalists would carry out several attacks against institutions and objects they deemed as degenerate, non-Slavic and non-Zemlyan. In 1923, the National Revivalist Party stopped carrying out attacks and focused more on underground recruiting as Jondić's popularity kept declining.

On 17 March 1924, the National Revivalist Party destroyed a in Janelići, which put Jondić and his cabinet on alert again. A month later, another brothel in Kradelas was set on fire. In June, a series of gay clubs were raided and destroyed. In late July, Dragan Obrenović began making preparations to march on the capital and seize control over the country, as the party has gained an immense amount of popularity and support, despite being deemed as traitorous. On 5 August 1924, the National Revivalist Party, headed by Dragan Obrenović, marches onto the capital and storms the National Assembly Building with no resistance. Pavle Jondić was captured and executed in public via firing squad. The National Assembly was dismissed, as well as the cabinet. The Second Kadolhan Republic came to an abrupt end, and the Third Kadolhan Republic was born.

Dragan Obrenović made strict public reforms, outlawed same-sex marriage, abortion and prostitution. Ministries were renamed into bureaus. The government was changed to a  Revivalist system, and a period of political repression against small underground parties working against the Revivalists followed. Obrenović also ordered the mass killing and deportation of, and the destruction of their religious structures. The Revivalist view saw Jews as non-Zemlyan people, and were to be immediately killed or deported, which in turn caused an exodus of Jews throughout the Cozars. By the beginning of the Second Great War, the Jews were declared as eradicated from Kadolhan soil. He introduced a Revivalist economy, that years later got Kadolha out of the economic crisis it found itself in.

On 9 May 1931, socialists declared the Kadolhan Workers' Republic in an uprising to topple the Revivalist government. Jovan Kaledić formed the Socialist People's Party of Kadolha and declared himself the People's Leader, but much like the state itself, the party was relatively short-lived. The socialists were severely underequipped and lacking in manpower compared to the Kadolhan military, although they've still managed to make a stand. The first notable victory was at Ratozora on 28 May. The war lasted until 22 August when remaining socialist forces were defeated at the town of Vilinka. Following the end of the war, the State Security Bureau was tasked with tracking down remaining members of the socialist party and their militia. The order also targeted their family members and any affiliates that may have helped them. A large number of public executions were conducted, which involved brutal execution methods. Some accounts state of captives being tied to concrete and thrown out of transport planes at sea. Traitors were considered to be soulless and of no worth by Dragan Obrenović, thus a strict policy was enforced towards those deemed as traitors.

On 1 February 1933, the Kadolhan state invaded the Republic of Lyrinia. Lyrinia was officially annexed by Kadolha seven days after the invasion had begun. Kadolha established the Protectorate of Vreteke in the east of the country, due to the large presence of Vretekans in the land. The rest of Lyrinia was declared as sovereign land of Kadolha and divided into three voivodeships. This was characterized as another step forward to the creation of Greater Kadolha, though Kadolhan authorities classified it as a unification of Kadolhan speaking countries. Despite Lyrinians and Kadolhans being culturally and linguistically similar, on religious matters the two were extremely different. Kadolha attempted to convert some of the Lyrinian population to Pravjerje, but it was a failure. Lyrinians are very devout followers of Lyrinian Issianism and because of that all attempts to convert them were stopped.

The Kadolhan invasion of Lyrinia is noted to have stirred up the tensions between Kadolha and Sremia more, as the Sremian leadership called the invasion as expansionist and unlawful. Dragan Obrenović personally wrote and sent a letter to the Sremian leader saying that it was a highly hypocritical statement for a country that had previously caused the deaths of millions and unlawfully conquered Lipnitia in the 19th century. Generally, Kadolha and Sremia had always been on the warpath with each other over the question of influence and hegemony in eastern Zemlya, with the now different clashing ideologies adding more fuel to the fire.

Kadolha continued to see booming economic development and military buildup for the rest of the 1930s. In 1939, Kadolha began improving relations with the state of Bloodia, who had conveniently been expelled from the Cominform the same year. Being historical allies since the Republican Wars, the two countries formed the Lewkogród-Kradelas Pact while ignoring their ideological differences, to be able to combat the Cominform on the political stage and possibly on the battlefield. The increase of tensions between Kadolha and Sremia in the geopolitical world, fueled by the alliance with Bloodia, eventually led to outbreak of the Second Great War.

Politics and government
Kadolha is a Revivalist republic, with the government divided into a executive branch, legislative branch and judicial branch.

The government and politics of Kadolha function as a Revivalist republic, where a is enforced and the Vrhovni Vođa is both the head of state and head of government.

Agriculture
Agriculture represents an important sector in the Kadolhan economy and its natural conditions meet the requirements for variable agricultural production.

The beginning of the Second Great War left the construction of newer roads unfinished, some of these unfinished roads are still present in the countryside. The majority of roads were constructed using concrete material, and with the idea to replace the material with, the government pushed for an initiative to replace concrete roads with asphalt ones. Concrete is fairly more expensive than asphalt, as well as expensive to repair in case of any damage, though it lasts longer. Today, the majority of Kadolhan roads are made of asphalt, with concrete being more present in local roads. A very significant motorway is the E-25 motorway, spanning from Ljotićgrad to Kradelas, taking the spot for the biggest motorway in the country.

The rail network is mainly used for freight cargo transport, rather than passenger transport, due to the affordability of motor vehicles. Rail transport was popular when it was first introduced in 1847, when the first railroad connecting Kradelas and Lipnovo was built.
