The Federation of Atonesinla began as a pagan federation of tribes led by a Marshall-Prince. This office rotated between the leadership of the main three tribes. Around 150 years after formation Christian missionaries arrived in the Federation, culminating in Marshall-Prince Niclas I of Tir y Tywysog's conversion and the decline and rapid Christianisation of Atonesinla. In the years Atonesinla slowly centralised, removing the old rights and privileges of the tribes and attempting to build a unified Atonesinlan identity.

When Marshall-Prince Mihangel III called a meeting of the tribes, known as the Cyngor y Llwythau (Council of the Tribes), and announced the abolition of the rotating leadership (instead replacing it with female-preference primogeniture) and announced that his daughter, Mari of Tir y Tywysog, would be his heir it was the final straw for the minor tribes of Mynyddoedd yr Angylion (one of Atonesinla's provinces), who rose in rebellion (demanding the restoration of rights of the tribes, the empowerment of the Council of the Tribes and an elective monarchy) and who were soon joined by a few of the larger tribes. The Atonesinlan Civil War lasted for 7 years before the tribes of Mynyddoedd yr Angylion were crushed.

Post Civil War there were harsh reprisals for those tribes that had risen against the increasingly-centralised state. Members of those tribes were treated as traitors and as lesser to the other tribes. However, the world moved on and slowly but surely the idea of representational, national institutions began to take a hold in Atonesinla. Following a disastrous defeat in a war Marshall-Prince Niclas VII, nicknamed Mad Prince Nick for his erraticism, paranoia and occasional bouts of screaming, was forced to abdicate, leaving his 8 year old son Rhodri on the throne. A regency council was quickly established and bowed to growing unrest by convening the first Senedd y Genedl (Senate of the Nation). For the next 200 years the monarchy began to fade into a purely ceremonial and constitutional role, leaving true power in the hands of the Lord-Protector of the Privy Council, a role that would over time become the position of Supreme Senator, akin to a Prime Minister. In 1909 the franchise was extended to all men and women over the age of 24.

In 1928 Atonesinla faced a war where many of her children died. Rising anger against the government spilled over into rioting and a general strike following the massacre of the Students Movement. Few dissented when the military under Tywysog-Llyngesydd (Prince-Admiral) Lloyd Morgan stepped in, seized control of the Federation and sued for peace. However, a humiliating peace treaty, rising ethnic tensions, a faltering economy and the reluctance of the military to hold elections (plus the absence of a national symbol to rally around, following the disappearance of the Marshall-Princess and her family during the confusion and rioting) meant that even fewer dissented when the Symudiad Ffederasiwn Organig (Organic Federationist Movement) under Stithulf Deorwine and Fr. Tomos Andreas marched on Tir y Tywysog on 2nd October 1939, aiming to seize power for themselves. Lloyd Morgan acquiesced, exhausted mentally and physically, his last act in office being to formally sign over the state apparatus.

The SFO established a government with Stithulf Deorwine as Acting-President and Fr. Andreas as Supreme-Senator. In 1943 a new constitution was drawn up, the key elements of which were:

->Government ministers would be drawn from all tribes, with amount of ministers belonging to a particular tribe being proportional to size of tribe, and all racism and bigotry against other tribes, and against ethnic and cultural minorities, was outlawed, to be harshly punished.
->Catholicism was to be actively promoted and Christianity be the state religion, though freedom of religion was guaranteed.
->Executive powers were to be split between a cabinet led by the Llywydd-Wladwriaeth (State-President) and the Cesar (Caesar, head of state).
->Members of the cabinet and the Llywydd-Wladwriaeth are to be appointed by the Cesar and approved by the Tŷ'r Dirprwyon.
->Legislative powers were to be vested in a tricameral legislature called the Cyngor y Wladwriaeth (State Council). The lower house was to be the Tŷ'r Dirprwyon (House of Deputies), a chamber elected via the highest averages method voting system, with the franchise being all men and women over the age of 21. The middle house was to be the Senedd Llwythau (Senate of Tribes), essentially a revived version of the Council of Tribes. The upper house, with the final say over laws, was to be the Senedd yr Offeiriaid (Senate of Priests/Senate of Clerics), the senators of which were to be selected by parish priests and bishops.
->The cabinet and Cesar could bypass the Cyngor y Wladwriaeth and rule by decree, however all laws were subject to approval by the Senedd yr Offeiriaid.
->Divorce was outlawed, although separation was allowed in cases of abuse and such.
->Complete equality between the sexes was guaranteed.
->Abortion was completely outlawed in perpetuity.
->Marriage was strictly defined to be between a man and a woman, although visitation and such rights were granted to all other couples.
->The government pledged to follow the principle of subsidiarity.
->The SFO was to be legally granted the status of leading party, and guaranteed 45% of seats in the House of Deputies and Senate of Tribes, though the right to form political parties and campaign freely was guaranteed so long as the parties followed the principles of the constitution.

The Constitution was signed into law at Easter 1944.
In 1968 the SFO lost its majority in the House of Deputies for the first time, leading them to form a coalition with the socially democratic Parti Democrataidd-Lafur (Democratic-Labour Party).
In 1972 the current national anthem was approved.
