The position of Judge had not been filled until this point, therefore there was no incumbent to unseat.
The Governor of Arrelani (who had founded the ‘Adinan Communist Party’) ran on a platform of continued precedence of Spanish. The Orthodox Patriarch, [[ImperatorMendes]] also ran this electoral cycle, publishing a mock-up election poster, and making promises to codify the Adinan legal code and to push for a Bill of Rights to be drafted- alongside general assurances of neutrality and fairness.
Both candidates expressed distaste towards the actions of a prominent Astonian Independentist- an issue still in the minds of many voters.

Not much had changed from the prior administration in terms of staffing other than the President himself.

A large team from Adina set out to compete in the Augustan Olympics- booking out the penthouse in the Prism Hotel. The team performed extremely well, being the top achieving team at the Olympics. ImperatorMendes was the 2nd highest rated athlete of that Olympic Season, missing a draw by 1 point.▼

===
Throughout Adinan history, from when its government began to evolve from proto direct democracy, the monarchy attempted to add its view to the course of politics. The original state of the monarchy was a religious seerdom originating in Antigua. Upon the success of Matanic’s town of Al-Adina, a new capital was established, and so was the Federation of Adina. The original ''status quo'' and social contract (for the monarchy was conspicuously absent from constitutional documents) was that the monarchy remain a politically neutral, religious institution as it had always done so. By virtue of discord quirks, the monarch Kalipso I had always had access to sensitive channels, and fairly innocently voiced an opinion on the proceedings. This would be the least contentious period of the monarchy, as it seemed inconsequential. As the government was weak, notions that had always seemed more role-play or whimsical such as single-religion state, were in the backseat in comparison to the need to attract skilled individuals, leading to the official welcome of the Orthodox, who had been living some time prior to this, on the 16th of September.
The first instance of the Monarch using extralegal power was when the resignation of Matanic was heavily lobbied and pressured for- rather than a break, using the pretext of the mishandling of the first
The weight of the Black Fang Tribe- loyal to the monarch only and the Kodakane, began to spill into politics. During Incentives’ term they attempted to use their influence to have Kalipso crowned emperor which failed. Furthermore government resources were asked of, misallocated or even embezzled into projects such as the Royal Palace and a library that was never finished. On the 23rd of August, under the pretext of whether Adina should record its unwritten Indojic heritage, religious laws were passed (Imperator had narrowly avoided prosecution previously for treason over Incentives converting to [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Orthodoxy]], due to the intercession of the sitting President Matanic). These laws would include real life topics, inexplicably, and created an atmosphere of fear that dissent would be treasonous. On one occasion the Black Fang were mistakenly set on the President for treason after a miscommunication about a political action. It would become apparent that despite the smoke and mirrors, the Black Fang hardly existed and the Kodakane was primarily a political front for Kalispo and Cocobeaa’s political ambitions- though at the time it was less apparent.
A deal to absorb [[Ashelor]] into Adina- on the basis of a largely beneficial agreement was sabotaged due to Kalipso’s unwillingness to compromise over religion. In the argument that descended, he asserted he could dissolve the civilian government whenever he wanted. Incentives finally resigned, realising his lack of autonomy, the second President to have done so on account of the monarchy. He would be the last to do so.
===3rd Federal Elections===
The 3rd Federal Elections occurred very much upon a political fault line. The nation had essentially dived itself into camps supporting the Monarch's unspoken and entrenched extra-constitutional power and a group wishing to limit it, or at the extremes transition to a full Republic. Largely the monarchy was backed by the staunchest Indoja- leading to a very acrimonious election where the nascent Republican cause began to develop. Monarchists began to criticise the 'old guard' as responsible for all the turmoil in Adina. No candidate was expected to come out unequivocally in favour of Republicanism.
====
During the period of announcements, the immediacy of the Republican cause finally became clear in the 'Republican Address', where former Judge Imperator proclaimed the need for a true republic:
Line 231 ⟶ 206:
<small>This is the heart of my proposal. Adina shall not fully flourish until the people are free. The nation is only as strong as its people. I promise in the desire for security we shall not lose our fundamental sense of liberty; I shall not establish perma pearling, and I commit only to expand your freedom.</small>
'''<small>JAI ADINA! JAI</small>''' <small>''[sic]'' '''REPUBLICA!"'''</small>
===== Response
This statement created a large stir, indeed it was mentioned in all other periphery debate afterwards. In the initial hours of the election the relative lead of Pirater (who had neither committed decisively to Republicanism or Monarchism) was touted as a failure of the Republican cause. Yet as the hours passed, his commanding lead dissipated and then gave way to a dominant victory.

▲Civil Guard Captaincy Elections
After the Republican victory, Imperator acted quickly to form a government, expanding it to its largest size yet, creating advisory roles of prosecutor, Master of Records, XP Commissar and Director of Infrastructure. Early on a route to Bloom was authorised and works began. As promised a constitutional convention was held on many issues, but primarily the monarchy. Between a choice of the Status Quo, Ceremonial Monarchy and a Full Republic, the votes tallied were 0:2:3- in fact 1:2:4 due to poll-master issues. This advisory poll gave a direction to further constitutional draftsmanship which was due to occur.▼

However these chats were leaked- whereas some thought the delay of drafting had meant a loss of commitment to the central tenet of republicanism, the opposite was in fact true.
====
During the early period of the Imperator Ministry, many radical monarchists who enjoyed privileged positions when the monarchy acted extra-constitutionally focused their anger on the suddenly growing Republican movement. The threats of coup from an entrenched religious militia ‘The Black Fang’ did not work, indeed there was increasing hostility to illegal monarchist intervention in civilian government. People wanted a return to the ceremonial monarch initially promised or indeed a republic, and end to the monarch’s unofficial privileges alongside use of religious laws and militiamen, which had caused the collapse of the previous two governments.
Line 315 ⟶ 312:
On the 24th of September Imperator declared all Black Fang members along with secessionist leaders pearl-on-sight. A permanent defensive garrison was established in Antigua. The former monarch distanced himself from the secessionists and all key players fled the scene. Since this date, there has been no secessionist activity on Antigua.
==== September Putsch====
After many hesitant days, it had seemed, at least for the moment that calm had returned to Adina. In the late evening a picture was posted by Cocobeaa, running unarmoured in the capital: "the eternal republic cant[sic] even defend its capital". The response was swift and many of the Guard logged on, only to find things were not as they seemed...{{Infobox military conflict

This group escorted Cocobeaa as they swept the capital and watched without intervening as she beat Tukidoki (the Bloom dual-citizen Judge) to death. However one thing became apparent. Despite the President's haste- he was far away on Bloomian rail works and was safe from the consequences of the armed group in the capital. Initially outnumbered and isolated, the five loyal Civil Guard members online (including Imperator) regrouped in Tallinn, outside ''The Winter Palace.'' In lieu of an official residence, Imperator's Winter Palace served as a safe retreat from the capital, with adequate provisions.▼
Late coup: 1 combatant

In the meantime Tukidoki was ordered to surrender on behalf of the government, refused and was pearled. However unlike what the plotters suspected would happen, the rest of the government or indeed any of the citizens did not come to recognise the Nationalists, who had submitted an alternate constitution. The national discord was in a state of acrimony as Cocobeaa, who had presented herself as the will of the Monarch was now being branded, to her indignation, a common terrorist.
Line 355 ⟶ 351:
4) The target of the President was not even in the country when the capital came under occupation, and thus was immune to any attempts at pearling him.
=====
The aftermath of the putsch was one of not a sudden realisation of victory, but a gradual clearing of the mist that had descended. The Sovians involved distanced themselves from events, truthfully stating that they had not participated in violence, having only been a witness to it instead. An alternate interpretation is seeing them as acting as the personal guard of Cocobeaa. As for escorting the terrorist into Adina, they said, it was only out of misjudged loyalty and to allow her to 'see the sights'. They also claimed to have been instrumental in organising Tukidoki's swift release.
Line 369 ⟶ 365:
De facto after Kalipso's departure, and finally in law a Republic was proclaimed by a huge majority of 80% of all votes cast (10:2:2) after finally passing the National Assembly. In comparison to previous events, it was quietly celebrated as Adina began to get to down to work. Some regions, including the Capital and Antigua especially had suffered during the troubles and there was little time to celebrate.

[[File:2019-11-28 17.16.12.png|thumb|View from inside the walled Southcliff Developments.]]
Upon Imperator's ascension the condition of the capital had somewhat waned, not helped by a month's delay of critical works due to civil unrest. After the climax of these events, he initiated and primarily funded the largest improvement programme ever undertaken in Adinan history. Unfinished buildings were finished and the south cliff became home to the aptly named Southcliff developments, including many government buildings: a court, a Civil Guardia fort, alongside apartments and 'project houses' (payment for contractors). During his first term the public housing capacity almost doubled, increasing by eleven. Much of these works were funded out of pocket or through the old 'Presidential Palace' works.
======
The Presidential Palace was a design made during the reign of Kalipso, occupying the majority of the Southern capital island. It was meant as a huge and prestigious work, however quickly attracted a negative reputation. Due to its immense and spurious costs, all presidents had avoided focusing on it,

Whilst domestically Cocobeaa's rebellion had been extremely unpopular (5/6 putschists being foreign) it was in fact also reflective of how unpopular the regime had been internationally.

The single greatest improvement in Adinan transit occurred, with its first truly international line being constructed from Adina to Bloom. Over 8km of rail enabled nations such as [[Aurum]] and [[Icenia]] to connect onto the 'multi-rail'. A line to the new settlement of Rhea, and a more efficient bypass to Tallinn, were planned and completed during this period.
===
Crimea, Tajira and Tahari (formerly) were frontier claims until this point. The main developments were Impulsepaci's small settlement on the Crimea, Imperator's township of Tallinn and the hostile reservation of the Black Fang tribe. Tallinn's population doubled during this period and a further three diversions went off its main rail, creating a constellation of border towns and frontier settlements, providing the capital with various commodities like wood and charcoal, along with dominant agriculture. Approximately 25% of all Adinans have some business interest in the Northern frontiers according to census.
==== Antigua Resettlement
[[File:RendersAntiguaisle-33404.png|thumb|Antigua Post-Resettlement: notice Rhea to the North, and Old Antigua to the South.]]
The former monarchist region of Antigua was lifted from occupation and resettled. The new town of Rhea would become one of Adina's fastest growing cities, whilst the historical south was preserved in situ.
===
However not all was to fall fortunately into Adina's hands. Whilst touring newfriends, ImperatorMendes was jumped by two fully protted and potted alt raiders and knocked into a mineshaft, where he and pamaxwell was set upon. A general state of emergency was issued, with the newfriends shielding the protective hills of Kaga. Despite people wanting to help, they were either too far, suffered internet issues, or were insufficiently geared to make a difference. Even more damningly, despite being online the Captain of the Civil Guard failed to even acknowledge the situation. Thankfully Imperator was unpearled during the chaos of their contested retreat.
Through foreign connections, and not a little luck, a strike force of twelve (included the freed Imperator) was mobilised to defend the capital, primarily [[UDF]], [[Mir|Mirians]] and Volunteers. The former attempted to fortify a position, whilst volunteers engaged immediately and with much risk. With the timely assistance of a Mirian strike force, the offensive succeeded- [[Mir]] ultimately won the day, not any Adinan.
The Captain of the Guard admitted it was futile for him to carry on in his tenure and ceded powers for Imperator to take personal control of the Guard unlike any other President to reorganise it back to effectiveness.
====
Following this indictment of the country's military capacity, Imperator was quick to call up reserves in order to reassert Adinan dominance. Plans for a wide-ranging counter-terrorist operation were drafted.
Line 409 ⟶ 405:
Operation Country Ash greatly reduced the future scope for insurgent or foreign backed activity, whilst also providing lessons in making the Guard a more cohesive unit, regaining some of its effectiveness. It was the first truly Adinan, truly proactive operation for some time, and an unprecedented success given the complexity of the defences.
===
It seemed clear to all, that something had changed over this period. The fabric of the nation had held firm, without a monarch, and for once, Adina seemed at peace. Something that gradually came into public perception was that rather than being an immediate switch, in some way the first three Presidents: Matanic, Evan, Imperator had all contributed towards the nascent democracy now fostered in Adina.
There was unanimity finally that the Republican Government was ''the'' sole government of Adina.
==== End of the First Ministry
The First Imperator Ministry ended with elections and a new government of the Republican System being composed of the following:

====
The Second Ministry espoused the view that previous modes of Adinan Economics had to be abandoned- especially ‘ornamental economics’ which had left Adina many pretty buildings, but an underperforming and producing economy. Particularly the prevailing view was that private individuals should begin to pool their private concerns with the funding of the government as Imperator has previously done so. In particular metrics of performance began to be compiled. During the midterm reports Imperator demonstrated the government accounts had gone from just breaking even (as opposed to multiple spending crises before) to reporting a monthly surplus, split into produced goods and reserve diamonds equivalent to 235d.
Stimulation in the Glowstone market and its subsequent integration into funding plans were a particular help, as they historically had provided around 300d in short bursts of market interest.

Eventually the two would enter personal combat, with Imperator winning the combat with not a single heart of damage. Proving all suspicions prior, SinjoroJoCrafter then collapsed the Astonian government, declaring himself Emperor- in violation of the Lands a Treaty- and Imperator POS in an attempt to bring reinforcements into what seemed would be a wider conflict with Adina over his criminality. These reinforcements never came, and he would be interned in Adina whilst he sat trial. An international tribunal would be convened to ascertain his guilt in violating the treaty. The conference convened against permapearl as a matter of principle and thought more on sanctions- eventually settling on four months; although SirFriendzone of Aurum decided to hold [[SinjoroJoCrafter]] for an indefinite period, him only being released nine months later due to the dereliction of SirFriendzone's vault.
=====
During this period [[SinjoroJoCrafter]] was interned, law and order in the Astonian Region completely disappeared. Raids hit the capital Euless (Richland Lakes), and anything of any value was stripped (even the floors in some cases). What was left were the cobblestone structures which
The [[Imperial Truidence]] would go onto declare a Astonian puppet state<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/e571ka/the_thirteenth_state_of_downer_astonia/</ref> in the region of Decatur. Reports suggest that farms were burned and looted during the rough occupation.

The Don Republic- an inactive nation bordering the Adinan region of Crann Mor was integrated into Adina as a member state after the leader c45cd requested for Don to be integrated into Adina. The primary reasons for this was to increase security within Don and for Adina to help supply Don with materials to rebuild. Matanic, having known of the old Don Republic, noticed c45cd logging in and contacted him to learn more about Don's history. c45cd was shown around Adina and due to
