May God bless this land and its people. May he bless this Constitution, base of the power of Navarre.”

Yet New Navarre was found and its inhabitants and plants most strange. What we call the Navarrese Devil…

The Rise of the Modern Popular Dictatorship

Though nominally a Principality, and part of Albion's 'Dominion' Empire, the state of Navarre is the first example of a popular dictatorship in the normal sense. The organisation of the JNE being the well-developed method of manipulation of public opinion that helped prop up the regiment of Iñigo Arista who ruled for life. Though Navarre was retained under Albion for a long time, the successors of Prince Iñgio ruled the Principality in a like style for many years.
