Industrial era
Industrialization in Almia was slow to start, and poorly managed, in it's first phases. With the Dominates clear jump in relative power after industrialization the Almian government would step in to kick start a massive drive to construct factories and urbanize cities nationwide. With decent deposits of coal and iron in the North and the largest deposits of sulphur in the South Almia was set for industrialization.

Modern era
Lost war against (Unknown) leaving Almia broke and wanting revenge as many feel the crown had cheated the military out of it's rightful victory.

Civil War
Fighting broke out in the Piari region between forces of the national guard and army. Although the actual reason for the violence had been a misunderstanding of a training mishap, it soon engulfed the entire country in civil war. Forces loyal to the government and the crown found themselves on the defensive against a smaller, but much more organized, centralized, and skilled military faction led by General Colmazio La Sorosa. With Zusean support the government forces eventually turned the tide and defeated the Guardia d'acciaio forces. The war, though brief, left most of Almia's infrastructure and industrial centers in ruins. Zusean and Khornarn forces had been able to test new technology and new tactics in the many varying terrains of Almia. Recovery from the war was slow and painful.

Endwar
With the Dominate being such a major threat to Almian existence, Almia found itself allied with neighboring country New Hyspania and it's ally of Zusea. Still reeling from the civil war Almian forces and command structure was broken and disorganized, with little support for the war from the start. The allied invasion of the Dominate saw heavy causalities and massive clashes between the King, who would constantly take direct command of battles, and his generals, who grew more frustrated by the day. Soon factories on the home front became overworked and saw terrible conditions for it's workers. Strikes began to popup country wide and organized before the government was able to crack down on them. Huge swathes of the army and navy defected or deserted, leaving the government at odds with it's people and nearly toothless against the coming storm. Advisers from Valourium helped the striking workers to organize effectively and start to push for a common goal. Though supplies from Valourium were few and far between, the organizers made up for them with whatever they could find.
