Monarchies of Felindia

The Monarchies of Felinidia, also known as the Monarchies or Felinidia, was a federal monarchy that existed along the Eastern Seaboard for several centuries. The Republic of Mourland now occupies most of the territory of the former monarchies, with the Kingdom of Badgeria claiming to be the successor state to the Monarchies.

Over the course of its history, the Monarchies collapsed into several different warlord periods, where the various constituent kingdoms and claimants fought each other for political supremacy.

Origins of the Monarchies
Prior to the official organization of the Monarchies as a government, the territories that made up the Monarchies was ruled over by a variety of small kingdoms and duchies. These kingdoms were somewhat culturally unified through a shared language, religious tradition, and common cat-ness, but lacked political or economic unity. However, with the Southern Migrations occurring over the course of the 1st and 2nd centuries, pressure from new northern neighbors began to push the independent kingdoms to beginning aligning with each other. This process of gradual political unification was especially accelerated by the founding of the Kingdom of Pugmoria in 104 ARM, which many took as a threat to the cat kingdoms.

While many historical actors were involved in the slow formation of the Monarchies of Felindia as a shared political unit, most famous are the kings Clovis the Second and Charles the First. Kings Charles the First ruled the Kingdom of Belmont and Clovis the Second ruled the Kingdom of Korlin, and these two would lead the early political coalitions that would culminate in the official establishment of the Monarchies of Felindia (named so as a sign of unity between the cats of the region) in 154 ARM, with King Charles the First serving as the first High King of the Monarchies. He ruled for three decades from the Belmontian capital of Talenus, bringing a new sense of political and economic unity to the region.
