A union of the heltics culture was created under a kingdom. The island started to be more colonised during that period, local nobles saw the island as a potential trade center and also as an advanced naval dockyard. It's also in this period that the island started to see the incoming migration of Seratofians who trying their luck on the island which was quickly increasing in number.

The collapse of the Heltic Kingdom (1672-1680)
When the last king of the Heltic Kingdom died, his five sons tried to take the power and started a civil war. The kingdom exploded into several smaller kingdoms. The island saw in this civil war the opportunity to take his independence, and do so. The declaration of independence was pretty easy for the island, as the mainland was too busy to fight each other, and had no opportunity to invade the island. The main threat of the island was foreign power, who had interest on the area, and the locals of the island, who didn't succeed to agree on which form of government to set. The rich locals reached the land of Velsonnex, which show sympathy toward the island. They agreed to set up the island under the reign of the king of Velsonnex, but as an state with very high level of autonomy, with his own government form.

The set of the Authoritarian democracy (1680-1683)
When a contract was signed between Velsonnex and Stylyflysia. A prince was choosed by the King of Velsonnex. This one was a rich merchant who owned a lot of land on the Island, and had close links with prince from the mainland. He tried to impose his son as heir, but the locals strongly disagree and tried to rebel. A group of merchant and powerful artisan succeed to form an organised group, and convinced the people to follow their ideal. Their objective was to form a strong representative government. In 1682, their group started to march on the capital city of Lumina. The Prince sends is army and tried to stop the group of rebels. But after some battle, they got defeated, and many soldiers of the royal army join the rebels. At the end of the year 1682, the rebels captured the capital and proclaimed the government. The king of Velsonnex, when he learned that the island was strongly instable, and that the local royal family could be killed threatened to intervene on the island. The newly formed government succeeds to make a deal with the king, they accepted to stay as an high autonomy state, and to keep the prince and his familly alived. In exchange, a new representative government was formed, which was the actual authoritarian democracy. In the year 1683, the stability came back, the royal family was set free, and a constitution was created.

Government
The Stylyflysian government is an authoritarian democracy, which mean that the president is elected by the people for life, and have a huge executive power. He can pass many laws without oppositions. But there is still many limits to his power. The president must make a council of minister.

Counter Power
The first form of counter power is the parliament, which can oppose a decision of the president if more than 50% of it agree.

The prime minister also works as a parliament president, which mean that he must make sure that the parliament work correctly. The second main counter power is the justice. They are totally independent from the president, and can attack legally both the president and the parliament if there is any form of corruption. A special justice court is made for the government, the particularity of this one is that there must be a judge of the same political party as the accused, and one of the opposite political party, in order to preserve neutrality.

Autonomy
The government is linked to Verlonnexi by the presence of the Prince of stylyflysa. Even if his power is very small in the Stylyflysian government, he also represents the island in the family council of Verlonnexi as the 13th family. Verlonnexi government can't intervene in Stylyflysian politics, excepted if there is an attempt of rebellion or state coup. A special unit is also trained by Verlonnexi in order to protect the prince. This was done in order to assure the neutrality of this unit, and make sure that Stylyflysian army can't take control of them and get rid of the Prince. Verlonnexi can fund activities and event in Stylyflysia until they are not political. They are not allowed to fund any political party. Stylyflysa must follow Verlonnexi diplomacy, and so is forbidden to make alliances with his enemies. But they can trade with every other country. Stylyflysia own an army, independent from Verlonnexi army. This army is only for the auto defence of the island, and is not supposed to be use in an offensive way, except if it was exceptionally needed.

Getting a new president
There is 3 case that need to elect a new president : If the president die, if he got arrested by the justice and loose his function, or if the referendum of presidential replacement have gotten 50% in favor of replacement. This type of referendum can be held by the parliament if 50% of it agree, this referendum aim to remove the actual president by asking people opinion. The president can't oppose to this referendum, if he tries, it would be sees as an attempt to stage a coup, so Velsonnexi would be allowed to intervene. If less than 50% agree to oppose the president, then the referendum is canceled, and the parliament can't hold a new presidential opposition during 5 years. If the referendum succeeds, the president is removed, and new elections are made. During the time of the elections, the prime minister takes the head of the government as temporary-president.
