The Revolution of 2356 was the failed socialist revolution starting in that year, the power struggle between the Left and Right parties, and the eventual right wing reaction as the revolution failed. The revolution was a seemingly spontaneous event that no political observers saw coming, but there were many deep rooted reasons behind the revolution. In this climate of fear and violence the "National Bill 2357/01" was passed that drastically reduced the rights of Baltusia's citizens in direct violation to the Bill of Rights.
