====Unification Party Seizes Control 1990-1996====

Under the leadership of the young Emili military officer Tristan Lytle, the Fortuna Unification Party began to gain momentum within Emili and Ancona at the beginning of the 90s, promising to unify the island chain under one flag. Their popularity first came from their own troops, known as the Regulatori, who won victory after victory against rebels, taking back land for both Emili and Ancona. By September 1992, rebel groups within Ancona were finally defeated, returning rebel controlled lands back to the Ancona. By April 1994, Regulatori soldiers were also successful on defeating rebel groups within Emili. These successes boosted the party's popularity within both Emili and Ancona. By 1992, half of the Ancona Senate were held by Unification Party members while one third of the Emili Senate were held by Unification Party members. The party's success was also noticed by the people of Toscani who were still in conflict with rebel groups to the north.

In the 1996 elections, Tristan Lytle won the Emili prime minister election by a landslide with 87.2% of the vote. His colleague, Bernard Leon, was also successful in winning the Ancona prime minister election. With the Unification Party also gaining a majority of the seats within both senates, the Fortuna Unification Party had seized control of both island nations. The party was also able to win their first elections within Toscani, a sign of the growing popularity of a unified nation.

===Fortunan Civil War 1999-2002===

After the takeover of the government by Tristan Lytle in 2002, the Three States of Fortuna's government is run as a unitary one-party totalitarian dictatorship with the nation run by the Fortuna Unification Party and with Tristan Lytle holding absolute power. This gives him and the party full control of the government, military, and economy of Fortuna. It is also requires for absolute obedience of all Fortunan citizens to Lytle. Through propaganda, manipulation, fear, and brainwashing, a majority of the population of Fortuna are willing to follow Lytle, creating a personality cult based around him and many see him as a god figure. Between 2002 and 2012 the full country was closed from the outside, preventing the free movement in and out of Fortuna. There are also high restrictions found in Fortuna including on freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and also low civil rights and political freedom.

The House is the legislative branch of Fortuna which is run by only one party; the Fortuna Unification Party. Within the House there are two different groups; the Elite Chamber and the Common Chamber. The Common Chamber consists of 48 seats, 16 representatives for each state. Each state party also has three leaders who are chosen from the representatives by each party. Every representative is chosen during the nomination period where the citizens of each state nominate up to 24 possible candidates. From these nominees the leaders of the state party choose the 16 they want as their representative. Each representative in the Common each serve a term of 6 years until the next election, representatives can also serve up to three terms. If a representative either resigns, gets removed by the Head, or dies during their term, they would then be replaced by someone chosen by the leaders of that state party. In the Elite Chamber there are 9 seats and consists of only those chosen by the Head. Elites are able to serve until their death, their resignation, or removal by the Head. Each Elite member is a head of a specific department, each department focusing on a specific area. Laws usually start out in the Common Chamber. If there is a majority vote of 3/4th then the bill is passed to the Law Chamber to be approved. Once approved it moves on to the Elite Chamber. If there is a majority vote of 2/3rd then the bill is made into law. However the bill may be vetoed by the Head and must return to the Elite Chamber to be revised or removed.
