Where it sits in time
Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved, 2017-11-17. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
The Kingdom was dissolved on 17 November 2017 following the "Yes" vote in the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey legalising same-sex marriage.

What led to it, and what came of it
