Kingdom of Grassland (1864 - 1918)

Not to be confused with the upcoming article; Kingdom of Grassland (1474-1864).The Kingdom of Grassland, also known as Imperial Grassland, was the Grasslandic nation state that existed from the end of the Grasslandic Republic in 1864 until the surrender in 1918.

It was founded in late 1864 when the Grasslandic Republic, was surrounded in Grassland City. On 1 July 1864, the new constitution came into force that changed the name of the federal state from "GMP" to Kingdom of Grassland and re-introduced the title of king for Frederick V, who was a prisoner. Bale became the temporary capital. As these events occurred, the GMP was still engaged in the Grasslandic Civil War.

The Kingdom consisted of 18 states, most of them ruled by royal families. They included one capital district, twelve districts and five counties. The counties mainly consisted of cities other than the capital, Grassland City. The districts consisted of more rural areas, also having towns and large towns, but none as big as a city. This sub-political boundary system was disbanded in 1924, after the cities outgrew their borders. It was replaced by a system which was replaced in 1941, with the creation of a new fascist government, but when the Republic of Grassland was created in western Grassland, boundaries very similar to the old boundaries was created again. In 1975, they were replaced again by borders which resembled the old tribal borders that were in the island until 1474. The country was quite peaceful until 1914, when the German Empire, a good ally of the Kingdom of Grassland, asked them to help in a war. They agreed. They joined against the Entente in October 1914. In 1918, after high political unstability, the king was overthrown and the Grasslandic Republic was created. The German Empire collapsed not soon after that. The king and his royal family escaped to Sweden. During the Grasslandic Revolution, there was a small faction called the Grasslandic Monarchist Army, who wanted the king to be the leader of the rebellion. He refused, but the Grasslandic Republic realised that if they bring the king back, people will like the government more, so in 1923, they asked for the king to come back and become leader of Grassland (with the president still in office, in a constitutional monarchy). He said yes, and Frederick VIII became King of Grassland.
