Grasslandic Empire

The Grasslandic Empire was a totalitarian state in Northern Europe. Its leader was Gregory Williams, who brought the fascist party to power.

Williams was appointed President of Grassland by the King of Grassland, Gashi I, on 1 May 1941. The GFP then began to eliminate all political opposition and consolidate its power. Williams became dictator of Grassland by merging the offices and powers of the Presidency and Minister. A national referendum held 21 November 1941 confirmed Williams as sole leader of Grassland. All power was centralised in Williams' person and his word became the highest law. The government was not a coordinated, co-operating body, but a collection of factions struggling for power and Williams' favour. In the midst of the Great Depression, the Williams restored economic stability and ended mass unemployment using heavy military spending and a mixed economy. Extensive public works were undertaken, including the construction of roads. The return to economic stability boosted the regime's popularity.
