The Kingdom of Slavo-Hungaria

The Kingdom of Slavo-Hungaria

Background

With the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, much of Central Europe descended into a period of extreme economic chaos and political instability. Slovakia and Hungary fearing that with the rise of independent empires and nations around them would attempt to expand into the area and annex their peoples convened at the Congress of Bratislava to create a new stable nation to rule over their areas in Central Europe. Out of this meeting rose the new Kingdom of Slovo-Hungaria. A Diet for both Slovakia and Hungary were elected and the capital was proclaimed at Budapest, while fearing that not having a strong central leader would cause a breakdown of the newly created system the politicians reached back to the ancient line of Hungarian kings and their families and restored the kings into a government of limited monarchy with the royal family holding executive power over the Diet.
