History[]

"Dark Years"[]

Before 1858, the term "Dark Years" is used to help describe the lack of recorded and catalogued history before that year. Outside of pre-colonial history, most of which is very limited, and the lacking resources to help describe the early French colonization of Peru and its later independence, very little information can be acquired to better help unfold the unknown history of the nation.

Jose I reign (1858-present)[]

Government and politics[]

As an absolute monarchy under the House of Raygada, the King and Queen of Peru possess full executive and legislative power over the people that live in the kingdom.

Administrative divisions[]

As a kingdom, Peru is divided into five regions and ten states.

Each region is run under noble classes and civilians, some of which are directly related to many of the members of the House of Raygada. In terms of the states, they operate under an older, more feudal formula of categorization, with the military (known in this case as the "Legions") ruling and directing all of the states.
