=== Establishment ===
▲Rumelia was formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the Balkans for centuries. However, following the defeat of the Ottomans in the Great War in 1939, Russia seized control of the region and established Rumelia as a separate state for the Turks. Constantinople and surrounding areas around the Dardanelles strait was established as the [[Russo-Rumelian Straits Condominium]], that lasted from 1938 to 1984, before sovereignty was fully transferred to Rumelia.
=== National Republican rule ===
During Halil Kadiroghlu Schumnulu's chairmanship (1942-1945), he implemented social reforms, including the standardization of the Turkish language in the Edirne dialect and the teaching of the Cyrillic alphabet in schools. After his death, his daughter, Azize Halilkizi Schumnulu, became the first female head of state in the world as chairwoman of Rumelia. Azize established her rule with an iron fist, formalizing Turkish as the sole official language and outlawing the Arabic script. She implemented transportation and communication systems to prevent the isolation of Macedonia, Thrace, and Dobrudja from the rest of the Rumelian nation. In 1946, she made abortion illegal, and outlawed birth control, resulting in a temporary rise in population. However, widespread protests led her to repeal these laws in 1951, making these protests the only successful ones in Rumelia.
