Governments of Saralonia trough history

The first government and military junta:
After Saralonia finally became independent there was a subsequent conflict over republican ideals and conservative remainders from both years of Spanish colonization and American occupation from which a group of conservatives won and established a military junta which originally would end until some arrangement was made with a foreign dynasty to create a monarchy which eventually happened.
The first Republic:
But first a republic formed after a conspiracy to overthrow the dictatorship thus making a very unstable republic that didn't last long.
The first "empire":
This one lasted one month due to the lack of popular support to this "king" of some European nation (a German) and due to his gross incompetence when dealing with revolts and such.
The Second Republic:
After the failed attempt at a monarchy it was decided that Saralonia would a republic but now there were many debates and fights over if it would be a federal republic or a centralist one which almost led to a civil war but after some crafty people got together and decided to make a new Constitution that basically made a centralized government that gave parts of it's power to each state and that state to municipalities or to other smaller entities while also creating a Council with a Leader, all positions are elected by the people, for the position of President every 6 years while for councilmen and councilwomen every 3 years.
The Communist Confederation:
Although there were a dozen different governments between the second republic and the Communist Confederation they were short-lived and uneventful, the Communist Confederation would see three civil wars and survive only two of them but it was and I the longest standing government in Saralonia, not only that but it took the systems of the second republic and refined them a little, and Saralonia seemed like a healthy communist democracy which obviously weirded out the western world specially due to Saralonia's proximity to the USA and Mexico, the first civil war was due to fascist and ultranationalist agitators along with more extreme communists, against most odds the Confederation survived and carried on until the second civil war were Saralonia was struck to it's core, the Confederation although alive was stripped away from the Northeastern parts of it, Northern saralonia was created as a US puppet, this radicalized the left more and more until the Third Civil War were the flames of democracy were stuffed out.
The Soviet Socialist 'Republics':
This is the government that stood and seemed stable until some blockades and serious human rights violations occurred, this was not run by communists but by Stalinists, this was the first authoritarian government since the 'empire' and the military junta, but out of the ash democracy rised again and that leads us to today.
The Socialist Federation:
The current government, although the "Emanuels" are not totally out the Socialist Federation of Saralonia is the new government reinstating democracy.
