	On January 25, Twice Square was attacked by revolutionaries. As the city housed the strongest of the Royal Army's troops and a large number of monarchist supporters, the uprising was met with much resistance. Nevertheless, popular support was overwhelming. The insurgency in Twice Square became a battle of attrition, and as the Royal Army in other parts of Twicetagria quickly fell to the revolutionaries, army morale was low. Furthermore, as anti-monarchist protests began to grow in frequency and size, many pro-monarchist supporters, including civilians and the nobility, fled to Dobraya and The Newlands. The revolutionaries were also supported by foreign sources both militarily and financially, allowing them to have the edge over the Royal Army in most places.

	By March, most of Twicetagria proper had fallen to the revolutionaries with Twice Square remaining the monarchy's final bastion. The Royal Army troops in Twice Square was faced with ever-growing resistance from civilians and an alarming resignation rate. On March 29, the last troops surrendered to rebel forces. The next day, revolutionaries stormed the nobility's quarters, a segregated community housing Twicetagria's highest nobility. Most had already fled Twice Square, and those remaining were subject to inhumane treatment as the revolutionaries ~~beat, raped and maimed them~~. The nobility was seen as supporters of the monarchy and implicit in the monarchy's mistreatment of civilians, so most revolutionaries did not support the nobility.

	On April 1, the Royal Palace was broken into by revolutionaries. Most palace guards had surrendered themselves, and the revolutionaries began to look for Queen Lianne and other members of the royal family. The palace's interior was heavily defaced by the revolutionaries, with many artefacts, furniture and paintings being destroyed and walls vandalised. However, none of the members of the royal family were present in the palace. Some were found dead in the palace prison. The only surviving member of the royal family was Gregory III, but he was put to death by an unknown rebel. Most suspected that the rest of the royal family were in hiding in a secret compartment in the palace, but after exhausting all possible areas with the help of the palace guards, they remained missing. It was later revealed that most of the royal family, including Queen Lianne, had fled Twice Square for The Newlands prior to the rebel insurgency in Twice Square, but their whereabouts were unknown. The royal family never landed in The Newlands, and they were presumed to have perished on their journey.		On April 1, the Royal Palace was broken into by revolutionaries.

In the wake of King Mikhail's assassination, Queen Mother Lianne claimed the Twicetagrien throne, becoming the queen of Twicetagria. Her reign would not last, however, as the Twicetagrien Revolution would begin a day later.

			The Twicetagrien Revolution was a loosely organised anti-monarchist revolt held across the Twicetagrien empire. Caused by a disdain of the monarchy and influence from foreign ideologies, participants in the Twicetagrien Revolution were looking to abolish the monarchy to establish a democratic state. On January 12, 1848, revolutionaries started to raise insurgencies across Twicetagria's major urban areas, including Twice Square. Many areas swiftly fell to rebel rule as the Royal Army was stretched thin and was running low in morale from The Purge. Many soldiers defaulted to the rebels or chose to resign from the Army. In some cities, mutinied troops killed their pro-monarchist leaders.

			On January 25, Twice Square was attacked by revolutionaries. As the city housed the strongest of the Royal Army's troops and a large number of monarchist supporters, the uprising was met with much resistance. Nevertheless, popular support was overwhelming. The insurgency in Twice Square became a battle of attrition, and as the Royal Army in other parts of Twicetagria quickly fell to the revolutionaries, army morale was low.

The next day, revolutionaries stormed the nobility's quarters, a segregated community housing Twicetagria's highest nobility. Most had already fled Twice Square, and those remaining were subject to inhumane treatment as the revolutionaries beat, raped and maimed them. The nobility was seen as supporters of the monarchy and implicit in the monarchy's mistreatment of civilians, so most revolutionaries did not support the nobility.

			On April 1, the Royal Palace was broken into by revolutionaries. Most palace guards had surrendered themselves, and the revolutionaries began to look for Queen Lianne and other members of the royal family. The palace's interior was heavily defaced by the revolutionaries, with many artefacts, furniture and paintings being destroyed and walls vandalised.

It was later revealed that most of the royal family, including Queen Lianne, had fled Twice Square for The Newlands prior to the rebel insurgency in Twice Square, but their whereabouts were unknown. The royal family never landed in The Newlands, and they were presumed to have perished on their journey.

			===The Fall of Twicetagria and independence of her colonies===
			With the absence of the royal family and a legal heir, the Twicetagrien throne was vacant and the monarchy was de facto dismantled. The power vacuum led to a power struggle amongst the rebels for control over Twicetagria. The rebels comprised many gangs, mercenaries, and city and oblast leaders, most of whom did not see eye to eye. Despite the democratic ambitions of the revolution, the Tsikyas gang, one of the largest and most powerful ones in Twicetagria, took control of the nation, having been the leaders of the insurgencies in Twice Square, importantly, and other urban areas. However, just after three days, on April 7, the Tsikyas leaders were killed by rival gangs. Twice Square became a battle ground for many of the rebel factions who sought to take control of the economic, political and cultural centre of Twicetagria. However, other areas in Twicetagria were not exempt from rebel infighting. Many urban areas controled by a single rebel group fundamentally operated as a dictatorship, with the group having absolute control.

			The untenable and unsafe situation in Twicetagria proper led to the mass migration of 2.3 million Twicetagriens to both Dobraya and The Newlands. The large influx of civilians to the colonies led to a logistical disaster. Queensland was overwhelmed with new migrants, causing its housing and overcrowding situation to worsen. Even as migrants were redirected to other cities such as Gavany and Rudagorod, Dobraya, which bore the brunt of the migrations, did not have the adequate infrastructure to house them all at once.

			Meanwhile, as The Newlands received fewer migrants, the situation was more manageable, and major urban areas such as Port Pomeranian and Chyorniy could still handle the increased load.

			To deal with the overcrowding issues, the oblasts of Doubeia attempted different solutions. Some cities such as Rudagorod could afford to expand to cater to the migrants, especially since they were still in the midst of their rare metals rush. Other oblasts founded new settlements for the migrants. However, with little local support, many of these settlements failed to expand and were seen as unattractive options compared to the much more established existing cities. Cities in the north such as Queensland, Angelsk and Alexandria saw their populations nearly double as they were seen as popular destinations for settlers. Meanwhile, the south saw fewer migrants as they were hard to access from the larger population centres in the north.

			With the absence of a ruling authority in Twicetagria, the colonial administrations of both Dobraya and The Newlands both decided to declare their independence from Twicetagria. Dobraya and The Newlands became independent nations on 27 August and 16 September 1849, respectively, with their respective capitals being Queensland and Port Pomeranian. However, the fate of the nations was still unknown. Talks were held between the two nations about a potential merger, whilst local authorities in Dobraya raised the possibility of a north-south split along the Lyev mountain range.

As Feodor II died unmarried and childless, the throne would be handed over to his nephew Prince Mikhail, the son of the imprisoned Gregory III, as requested by Feodor II in his will. As Prince Mikhail was still underage at the time of Feodor II's death, a regency would rule in his stead until he became of age.

			The royal family was split on the succession details. Whilst some supported Prince Mikhail's kinghood, many rejected it, instead regarding Queen Mother Lianne as the heir to the throne. Some despised Feodor II and did not wish for his will to be fulfilled. Furthermore, they were afraid that Prince Mikhail would be even more ruthless than Feodor II once the regency ended. As Gregory III was imprisoned for most of Mikhail's life, the latter had grown up under the care of Feodor II, and some feared Feodor II may have influenced Mikhail's thinking and opinions. Queen Mother Lianne also held much power and influence in all of Twicetagria, and she was a popular figure amongst the nobility.

The mysterious deaths or injuries sustained by some pro-monarchists were also attributed to the movement, although no death has officially been linked to the movement.

			There has been foreign involvement and support of the movement, primarily by the nation of Eristicea. Most foreign support came in the form of weapons. Despite the monarchy's attempts to regulate Twicetagrien borders to prevent the smuggling of weapons, Eristicean weapons routinely bypassed Twicetagrien security into the hands of the movement. However, there have been questions about the true motives of Eristicea behind supporting the movement. Whilst some saw the support as standing up against Feodor II's rule, others have suggested that the nation may have wanted to cause instability and potentially anarchy within the colonies.

	Whilst there was popular support for the movement, criticism was present regarding the harassment of pro-monarchists as many innocent people and even other members of the movement were wrongly targetted. Furthermore, there was much internal disagreement on the movement's ultimate goal. Some wanted the complete abolishment of the monarchy, some the relegation of the monarchy to a ceremonial role, and others merely the deposal of Feodor II. Many imported ideologies were also heavily contested by members of the movement, with some arguing that they were distractions and would not succeed in Twicetagria.

			===The Purge (1811-1814)===
			With the death of King Liam IV in 1800, his son Feodor II rose to the throne. King Feodor II was a polarising character as he had been the subject of many controversies before his ascension to the throne. There were rumours of his severe mistreatment of palace workers, usually for his own entertainment, and there were documented incidents of him ordering the destruction of the property of those he disliked. The royal family and nobility were reportedly divided with regards to their support of Feodor II's kinghood.

			In 1811, Feodor II initiated The Purge, a country- and colony-wide manhunt for traitors and destabilisers of the Twicetagrien Empire. Most targets of The Purge were known critics of the monarchy and specifically Feodor II. However, the families of the targets were also implicated. As The Purge stretched on, Feodor II increasingly targetted people involved in the fine arts, publishers and anyone else who provided a medium for anti-monarchist rhetoric to be spread. Simultaneously, law enforcement was strengthened across Twicetagria and her colonies as the royal army was deployed to various parts of the empire.

			Targets of The Purge would be publicised in a city's central square, and they would have a few days to surrender themselves to the local authorities. Their properties and possessions would be burnt, and they would be transported back to a random detention center in Twicetagria proper. The treatment of those who did not surrender themselves in time differed across each oblast and city. It was still standard for their properties and possessions to be burnt down, but they also received an additional punishment. The punishment ranged from public flogging, maiming or execution as the killing of Purge targets was not forbidden but actively encouraged. Some cities were more lenient on Purge targets as their governors were less supportive of Feodor II, but governors who supported Feodor II were often much harsher with their treatment of targets.

			Many adherents and priests of the Tetralotoi faith in Vixette were also targetted by The Purge despite not having expressed any dissent towards Feodor II. This contributed to a secessionist movement in The Euthymia Isles, as well in many parts of Doubeia and The Newlands.

			The Purge led to empire-wide mass discontent with Feodor II and the monarchy in general. What was once small pockets of anti-monarchist movements became large underground networks as many desired to be freed from The Purge and Feodor II's regime. There was also a schism within the royal family about Feodor II. Feodor II's brother, Gregory III, was imprisoned after speaking out against his brother's actions.

			Scholars have speculated that The Purge was a tactic used by Feodor II to censor any dissent towards him and his rule, and it was also fueled by his distaste for writers and musicians. Informants within the monarchy reported that Feodor II was deeply unpopular amongst the royal family but loved by his father Liam IV, so Feodor II initiated The Purge as a way to protect his throne from opponents. The king was also reportedly fearful that the royal army would retaliate against him, so he had already initiated his own army purge a few months before the events of The Purge started.

			===The Glass-breaker Movement===
			The Glass-breaker Movement (Twicetagrien Russian: Разбивание Стекла, lit. "breaking glass") was an anti-monarchist movement in response to The Purge and Feodor II's rule. Other than The Purge, Feodor II's rule was marked with heavy political persecution, creative censorship, a large-scale overhaul of the empire's economy to cater to the growing precious metal trade and heavier military and royal presence in the colonies. Whilst many members of the movement were solely fueled by a desire to depose Feodor II, some held stronger anti-monarchist sentiments. Some questioned the royal family's inaction with regards to The Purge, as well as the morality of their high standard of living compared to the Twicetagrien commoner.

			Not much is known about the movement's birth or the history behind its name. It is commonly thought that its name was coined as a way to signify the breaking of the glass ceiling imposed by the monarchy on the Twicetagrien people.

			The movement mainly focused on providing a channel for anti-monarchist sentiments with an ultimate focus of deposing Feodor II. Many underground artists, authors and other members of the public shared and dispersed anti-monarchist media across the empire. Populist ideologies originating from outside of the empire were also disseminated across members of the movement.

Furthermore, there was much internal disagreement on the movement's ultimate goal. Some wanted the complete abolishment of the monarchy, some the relegation of the monarchy to a ceremonial role, and others merely the deposal of Feodor II. Many imported ideologies were also heavily contested by members of the movement, with some arguing that they were distractions and would not succeed in Twicetagria.

			Moles and monarchist insiders within the movement were common. They regularly fed information to the authorities who would impose crackdowns similar to The Purge. However, due to the sheer size of the movement, support for it was sustained until the fall of Twicetagria.

			===Economic instability===
			As Twicetagria's switched from an agriculture-based to a precious metals-based economy, both Dobraya and The Newlands would see ups and downs in its economy. Much of Dobraya suffered from economic downturns due to the fall in demand for its crops, and prices would fluctuate regularly, forming dissatisfaction amongst settlers. Mining-oriented oblasts such as Rudagorod and Chyorniy flourished during Feodor II's reign as they saw a boom in economic activity. Even though many economists warned that the "Metal Rush" would be temporary, these oblasts continued to prosper until the fall of Twicetagria.

	The vassalisation of the Euthymian Isles led to much movement between it and Dobraya: many Vixettiennes moved to Dobraya in search of a new environment and religious liberation, while most visitors from Dobraya to the Isles were often tourists. There were some negative sentiments towards the Vixettiennes within the colony as they were perceived as cultists and beast-lovers. However, the majority sentiment was one of curiosity and surprise. Communication between Dobraya and Vixette was hampered by the language barrier – the Vixettiennes spoke a completely different language – but as knowledge of the Vixettienne language was established, bilingual dictionaries and language guides would be written to facilitate communication.

			===Anti-monarchist movements===
			Throughout the eighteenth century, there were pockets of anti-monarchists throughout the colonies. This stemmed from the increasingly anti-monarchist sentiments present amongst newer waves of Twicetagrien settlers. These sentiments were more prevalent in Dobraya than The Newlands as the latter was home to many members of the nobility and royal family who supported the Twicetagrien crown. However, as badmouthing or protesting the monarchy was considered treason and punishable in Twicetagrien law, most of these sentiments were left unexpressed. Nevertheless, popular Dobrayan newspapers such as The Red Star and Dobraya Today were considerably more critical of the monarchy.

			It was not until the late eighteenth century when anti-monarchist sentiments started to ramp up, largely due to unpopular austerity measures and culling of personal rights enacted by the monarchy. Many settlers who had fled the increasing economic woes and authoritarian measures in Twicetagria proper were deeply dissatisfied with the monarchy. However, due to the fear of breaking the law, most of their opposition to the monarchy manifested in the form of the arts. Many songs, poems, paintings and novels were written in what was considered the Golden Age of Doubeinese Art as a way to protest the monarchy's increasing grip on the colonies. Publishing houses, opera houses and galleries were often heavily scrutinised by the colonial administration for anti-monarchist sentiments, so most of these works were published and released independently.

			The anti-monarchist movement in Dobraya is said to have been birthed from the prosecution and execution of a prominent critic, Igor Ryukov, who had fled to Rudagorod as a result of the monarchy allegedly ordering for his arrest. On May 17 1884, Ryukov was forcefully detained from his shared apartment. After a few days of interrogations and alleged torture, Ryukov was brought out to the public in Rudagorod's town square. He was publically flogged and humiliated, before being kept under captivity until his execution. The colonial administration's unusually harsh treatment of Ryukov sparked fierce anti-monarchist sentiments across Dobraya as people believed his treatment and execution were due to his political views. However, the ruling monarch at the time, King Liam IV, denied having ordered Ryukov's arrest, and ordered for the dismissal of both the oblast and city governor.

			From Ryukov's death, settlers in Dobraya held increasingly negative opinions about the monarchy. Many settlers who had ties to or supported the monarchy fled to The Newlands which was more pro-monarchist.
