Due to the outnumbered enemies, Tirano decided to escape from Granda on January 9, 3333 together with Franco Manuello the minister of defence.

After the death of Rojasio Alzaro, his brother Marcencio Alzaro held leadership positions of Granda immediately and declared martial law nationwide. This era is called "Era of Purge". Due to Marcencio's using military forces to suppress various incidents such as use the secret police to eliminate anyone who disobey him, send Comandos Observador to hunt for Tirano. Marcencio's Ideals about equality, unity and liberation known as the "Alzarism" was spread to surrounding countries which later become the Carmes Pact (consisted of Granda, Adela, Perla and Suerta).

His power-crazy and desire to become a superpower of Golden Rainbow caused the Red Rising War, Xilotonian War, and Grandan Big Gift Crisis. Marcencio Alzaro was a very decisive and warrior caste leader, the Council of Centau reported that he was the most dangerous threat to Golden Rainbow security and peace. Although Granda was very prosperous in Marcencio Alzaro Era, it had to exchange with the freedom and human right of the people. Meanwhile, the military of Granda grew tremendously by the ideology of "Defensive first" which made the Grandan Army become the largest standing military force in Golden Rainbow.

Marcencio Alzaro's cult of personality became a prominent part of Grandan culture during his rule. the Grandan press presented Marcencio as an all-powerful, all-knowing leader. Marcencio's image became omnipresent as well as his older brother.

Marcencio Alzaro died on 4 July 3379, after his funeral, Guillermo Chalazar was elected to become General Secretary of the CPG and new leader of Granda.

Chalazar Era[]

In Chalazar Era, Granda has many change. Whether reducing war support, stopped the spread of Alzarism (also known as de-Alzarization) and "Three reforms" plan. In 3382, the threat of pirates in Antilia Major arise, the Grandan navy have to evict the pirates from the Granda waters which resulted in Granda Waters Purge.

In 3386, Granda was struck by a magnitude of 7.2 earthquake, the country's most severe earthquake in over 300 years. Over 20,000 dead and up to 300,000 homeless. The country has been slowly recover by the government and also the support from the Carmes Pact. The disaster has caused the economic fall to the lowest point of Granda history (ever since become the People's Republic).

In 3391 due to health problems and the "one decade, one leader" plan, Guillermo Chalazar decided to retire, open the way for new generations leader to lead the country forward. After his stepped down, the Politburo elected Cesar Herrazo as the new General Secretary of the CPG.

Herrazo Era[]

In Herrazo Era, Granda focus on the improvement of public utility and transportation network to develop the quality of life of its citizen. The major event in this era is the 3396 Summer Olympics that hosted by Granda, but many countries have boycotted this Olympics, such as the country which once opposed to Granda and the Carmes Pact countries during the Red rising war. 

Herrazo's Speech during 3398 Protest

Herrazo's speech during protests of 3398.

In 3398, The big tragedy emerged when the group of students and civilians named "Free Granda Movement" try to incite the public to overthrow the Communist Party, but the government can took control of the situation. Herrazo denounced the protest leaders as "traitors" who trying to incite the Grandans to disunity and that is the source of the moral concepts called "We Grandan" created by Herrazo to teaches the new generation to love their homeland and help build Granda a great nation. However this event caused Granda to fall into an economic stagnation.

Herrazo undertakes to improve the economy until retired in 3401 and was succeeded by Bandero Cienfe.

Cienfe Era[]

After faced the protests and economic stagnation, the government consider that Granda need to communicate with the outside world more than living behind the Carmes Pact's curtain. Aforementioned reason, resulting in the creation of "Better Granda" plan, led by Cienfe to recovery the economy which make Granda to export more product and make more profit from tourism. Although Granda start to contact to the outside world, the government still have to control their stability to prevent the incitement, that'll caused the event like the previous protest.

Three leaders of Granda.

Three leaders of Granda discuss about the situation in Perla.

In 3403, the conflict broke out in Perla. Granda had sent the troops to protect its satellite states from disordered.

The new policies seems to detach from the Alzarism Ideology which made some politicians trying to coup against the current government but turn to be failed and being arrested later.

Though the economy of Granda will better than two centuries ago. The country has lost almost 70% of the natural resources and many parts of country are polluted. In 3406, Guillermo Chalazar, former leader of Granda, died from a heart failure.

At the end of Bandero Cienfe's tenure, he was succeeded by Ana Alzaro, the granddaughter of Marcencio Alzaro.

New Alzaro Era[]

During Granda's National Communist Party Congress in 3411, Bandero Cienfe was replaced as General Secretary of the Communist Party by Ana Alzaro. Under her rules, the Granda government began to improve its environment and pollutions resulting from the industries and the rapid growth of the population.

Ana's "Dream of us" plan focused on a policy of peace and relaxed the restrictions within the Carmes Pact as well as start a friendly relationship with nearby countries. For this reason, she is nicknamed "Red Angel".

In terms of the economy of this era, despite high exports, government spending has also increased, resulting in slower economic growth. Most of these expenditures are invested in the country's environment restoration policies and space technology development. Solar energy has been used extensively in this era. In 3413, Granda reached 800-840 MW by the end of the year. At the end of 3415, with a total capacity of 2,000-2,500 MW, Granda has more solar power capacity than all the rest of Mercury Mundo Region combined.The government targeted to reach 5,000+ MW in 3440.

Ana's incumbency ended in 3421 and was succeeded by Roque Jubilo.

Jubilo Era[]

Also known as "Era of the hard-liner". Jubilo is a pro-Alzarist who want to make Granda powerful like in Marcencio Alzaro's era. The "Shield of Homeland" adopted by Jubilo to increase security in country and the satellite states along with joint military maneuvers annually. With military technology reforms, the army has been developed with more advanced equipment. Meanwhile, the arms trade has become a key factors for the country's economy which made Granda, one of the biggest arms exporter in Antilia Major.

Leader freak out.

Jubilo blamed the foreigner reporter when they asks about the war in Almas.

Granda has become interested again from worldwide when it's intervene Almas to protect the communist government from the uprising of nationalist guerrillas. More than 30,000 soldiers have been deployed in Almas, it's the largest military deployments of the nation's history. Same as his idol, Jubilo received a warning from the CC and sanctions from many countries, but he disregarded.

In 3427, Cesar Herrazo died. After his funeral, Jubilo together with the two former leaders and the government held a congress to discuss about the future of the country and the satellite states. The death of Herrazo has caused the revolution in all members of the Carmes Pact. To control the stability of the communist world, Jubilo present the "Jubilo Doctrine", the policy that Granda can use its military forces to intervene the member of the treaty. Though many members (included the former leaders) will not willing for this policy. Finally, the policy was immediately promulgated with the Carmes Pact members. Made Granda to successfully protect its allies, however this actions brought tense situation to the nearby countries.
