Communist Federation of Kihāmát

The Communist Federation of Kihāmát (Kihā́mmic: Lố Kihāmátī hartamôvanatī́zô kalāšā́n) was an island nation that comprised of modern-day Kihāmát. The state came into being…

History
The Kihā́mmic Republic remained continuously stable until the early 1870s, when a series of floods devastated the islands in between 1869 and 1871. This meant that once again food was in short supply. After the natural disasters there were numerous protests throughout the country criticising the government’s handling of the situation. This was the start of the ascent of left-wing politics in Kihāmát. In 1881 the general election showed this huge shift of political allegiance and thought. The staggering results of the election are shown below:


 * Communist Party of Kihāmát - 64.2%
 * Kihā́mmic Socialist Party - 21.6%
 * Liberal Party of Kihāmát - 7.1%
 * Conservative Party of Kihāmát - 5.3%
 * Kihā́mmic Nationalist Party - 1.1%
 * Kihā́mmic Monarchist Party - 0.7%

A year and a half after the Communist Party gained control of the National Parliament, on the 27 August 1883, the party announced the foundation of a new Kihā́mmic state; the Communist Federation of Kihāmát (Lố Kihāmátī hartamôvanatī́zô kalāšā́n). The parliamentary system was replaced by a less centralised non-partisan system, whereby the country was split into 5 autonomous regions, with a supreme council of government officials on Raibáûī.

By the end of World War II in 1945, in which Kihāmát played no part, the Communist régime had become more and more centralised and was met with popular protests during the 1940s. The protests became more and more frequent during the early 1950s, the government resisted the popular appeals and elections were abolished in early 1953 (the last elections having taken place in 1949) as the government saw the public as too ill-minded to make a rational judgement when voting. This only heightened public discontent and marked the start of the anti-governmental revolt (Kihā́mmic Revolution, 1953-1955) with the régime and on 28 September 1955 the country came to a stand still. The National Parliament building in the capital, where the Supra-National Council convened, was stormed by protesters and the Communist Party ousted from power, replaced by an interim government made up of politicians of various political persuasions. Political parties began to reform and elections were held the following year, the results of which are shown below:


 * Kihā́mmic Socialist Party - 31.6%
 * Conservative Party of Kihāmát - 29.3%
 * Liberal Party of Kihāmát - 17.2%
 * Independent - 8.2%
 * New Party of Libertarian Kihā́mmic Communists - 7.1%
 * New Kihā́mmic Nationalist Party - 5.4%
 * Party For A New Kihā́mmic Kingdom - 0.7%
 * Communist Party of Kihāmát - 0.5%

Following these election results the elected interim government held a referendum six months later concerning the type of government to use.
