“Generally speaking it is ruled by the Royalists on Mondays, Wednesdays and every other Thursday; in between those, the republican Revolutionaries manage to take over, except once a year when the People's Goat Liberation Army comes down from the hills and attacks the post office.” GovernmentPoliticsSillyGoatsRepublicansRevolutionariesRevolutionsRoyalistsPeople S Liberation Army Book:The Time-travelling Caveman Source: The Time-travelling Caveman
“Sometimes a revolution turns into an actual government, or at the very least an actual way of life that contrasts with days past like blood on snow. Such was the case in France, where even as the guillotine released a steady river of gore, Royalist insurrections were suppressed by what had become a sophisticated military. In Toulon, the Royalist insurrection in 1793 led to an actual siege by republicans, spearheaded by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte. The Royalists in Toulon, supported by the British and Spanish, were feared by the republicans as an existential threat to every hope and promise of the revolution. For months there were bombardments, cannon fire that made the windows in the prison tremble.” GovernmentRevolutionPrisonFranceGuillotineNapoleonLes MiserablesJavertRoyalistsToulon Book:Wolves and Urchins: The Early Life of Inspector Javert Source: Wolves and Urchins: The Early Life of Inspector Javert
