===The Quiet before the Storm===
In the relatively peaceful years between [[3035]] and [[3050]], General Månsdottir became the Chief-of-Staff of the Command Council of the KungsArmé. He also founded a political party called [[Motsatt Stalining Parti]],<ref>Literally "Party of Stalinism reversal". Intended to translate into "Stalinism opposition party".</ref> informally called Motpart. This party consisted of members of the ''[[Riksdag]]'' who opposed the Elected Prince or who were once Tyr members from the Lyran Half. He also held the position of the ''Landtmarskalk'' (Marshal of the Lands, the First Estate director) in the ''Riksdag'' since [[3042]]. Being suspicious of the [[Draconis Combine]] and fearing that the Kuritans will return one day to claim their lost worlds, the Motpart sought closer relations with the [[Federated Commonwealth]], which Månsdottir and his followers see as the only guarantor of Rasalhague's independence.<ref name="20yr"/>

Since the Elected Prince Haakon Magnusson is a politician first, he had only little interest in the armed forces of the FRR, quickly delegating the command of the KungsArmé and with it the position of the ''[[Överbefälhavare]]'' to Christian Månsdottir.

===Clan invasion===
Because of the lack of interest in the KungsArmé and the fear that a well-equipped and strong military would anger the Rasalhague neighbors, the Elected Prince neglected his nation's armed forces, which proved fatal when the Clans [[Wolf]] and [[Ghost Bear]] conquered world after world with little difficulties. After Clan Wolf captured the capital world of [[Rasalhague]], Haakon Magnusson fled the world, leaving Månsdottir behind. A year of guerrilla warfare later, the general was captured by Clan Wolf. His aide, General Nels Rasmussen, replaced Månsdottir as the leader of the partisans on Rasalhague.

In [[3051]], after the Clan invasion renewal, the Wolves offered General Månsdottir the governorship of all captured worlds in exchange for helping pacify them. Månsdottir refused and was imprisoned. Later he was rescued by the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] Seventh Kommando special forces unit and returned to leading the Rasalhague forces.<ref name=FM:CSp63PFB>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 63: "Pausing for Breath"</ref>

In 3061 Haakon Magnusson stepped down as the Elected Prince. The winner of the elections was surprisingly his son [[Ragnar Magnusson]], who was at the time a warrior in the Ghost Bear Clan making it for him technically impossible to rule the FRR. In an emergency meeting, the Parliament or ''Riksdag'', decided that Ragnar was their duly Elected Prince and that they would hold another election for a regent.<ref name=FM:CSp63ANL>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 63: "A New Leader"</ref>

The winner of the election was General Månsdottir, who was awarded the title of Elected Prince Regent and the powers of an Elected Prince until Ragnar's possible return. Månsdottir, a military man first and foremost, has concentrated on increasing the size of the KungsArmé and reviving the First Tyr BattleMech Regiment, which he used to command during the fight for the Rasalhague independence. He also has revised Haakon Magnusson's policy of importing and exporting the same amount of goods from the Lyran Alliance and the Draconis Combine, dealing more with the Lyrans. The abolition of the "mercenary reservations" and an easing of the regulations for dealing with mercenaries were also imported changes of the FRR policies.
