'''Final Dissolution of Vitelia and Establishment of Adina'''
'''Final Dissolution of Vitelia and Establishment of Adina'''


Due to the failure of the reformation of Vitelia to revive Antigua, Matanic a previously little contacted inhabitant of Tabago, proposed to Kalypso a radical idea. The formation of a new nation (Adina) which would be based on democratic ideas and the movement of the capital to Matanic's commune in Tabago. Matanic and Kalypso agreed that the monarch should have no power in this new state and should be a cultural and religious leader. Kalypso promised to do this after the transition period as he felt the traditionalist Indoja would not accept this new move. Matanic proposed the name change to Adina to show a fresh start and to shed the bad reputation of Vitelia. Matanic ended a treaty with Vinland that required Antigua to pay 15d to Vinland per week for some old Vitelian territory and also returned the island of Rowa to [[Maltovia]] as he felt this would spread the nation too thinly. He officially dissolved the Reformed Vitelia in a reddit post. This was less than a month after the reformation.

During this period the first Adina-[[Astonia]] conflict took place due to [[SinjoroJoCrafter]]'s attempt to secede from the nation illegally. This led to decisive action to be taken by Matanic. He organized an expedition with SamuelWizard and Evan([[Incentives]]) to surprise SinjoroJoCrafter. He was pearled by SamuelWizard. As a result Astonia was annexed back into Arrelani with all groups being ceded. There was fear of [[New Sovia|Sovian]] involvement in this but the situation was explained and relations between Sovia and Adina warmed, eventually leading to the marriage of Matanic to [[Pirater]].

Not much had changed from the prior administration in terms of staffing other than the President himself. On the day of elections, minor bombings by [[Nipplerock]] targeted cultural icons, such as an Indojic effigy, the Orthodox Church and the President and Judge’s houses. The damage was quickly repaired but contributed to an overall feeling of insecurity.

Following the conclusion of the Adinan Wars of Sovereignty, a new Central Territory of Multinesia was annexed and settled permanently by [[Cortwade]]. A Casino Resort was finished on the 10th of August.

Daddy1015 stepped down from the Captaincy of the Civil Guard to focus more on irl events- elections were then held, with Pirater being elected by a sizeable majority. This initial period was one of great development.

The separatist leader had been wanted in Adina for some time. With the [[Varkonia|Varkonian]] pearl expired- and with an extradition request ignored, the mission to find him became more urgent. Upon guarantees from the previous Government of fair trial and leniency, he gave himself up to authorities after a failed guerrilla campaign targeting frontier agriculture primarily. ImperatorMendes was the presiding judge for the case.

A number of charges were brought by the prosecution along with over 30 pieces of evidence being collected for trial. The charges were: High Treason, Violation of a Legislative Injunction, Petty Vandalism, Conspiracy to Commit Murder-for-Hire, Grand Larceny, Impersonation of a Government Official and Sedition.

===Republicanism on the Rise===
===Republicanism on the Rise===
Throughout Adinan history, from when its government began to evolve from proto direct democracy, the monarchy attempted to add 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 “[[Astonia|Astonian]] Crisis”. This opened the door to further interventions and the previous covenant was silently bypassed. This rising trend of political interference came with the rise of the Kodakane- a radical Indojic sect which believed in the installation of an Emperor and the subservience of any secular government to religious sentiment. At the peak of its power, the current Civil Guard Captain SamuelWizard, subscribed to this ideology and plans were drafted to make a political militia to enforce its demands.

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 [[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.

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.

======Presidential Palace======
======Presidential Palace======
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, due to more pressing concerns. As the capital grew and space became more limited, it became a less and less promising proposition. After much dithering, Imperator scrapped the project as representative of the old monarchist largess and waste that had characterised government spending. The funds from this decision are still in use to this day, however funded: the Southcliff developments, Court, Guardia Fort, the paving of sidewalks across the capital and multiple private buildings.

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. Restrictions by the [[Imperial Truidence]] on travel were largely lifted, just days into the new Republic. Furthermore a non-aggression and limited trade compact called [[Treaty of Tobago y Corona|the Treaty of Tobago y Corona]] was signed by [[Bloom]].<ref>[[Treaty of Tobago y Corona]] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fj-N8bE9F-YW5X1xoRWZDS4GcusFcQLXcNIlu1UvBx0/edit</ref> This led to some mingling of the two economies, with Adinan charcoal being exported to fund city renovations.

Adina would be given all remaining Astonian lands, perhaps believing that Adina would provide a gentler occupation than the [[Imperial Truidence]] or other treaty signatories.

====Integration of the Don Republic ====
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 the similar ideologies between the two nations and the friendly welcome he received in Adina, he proposed the integration, which was finalised on the 22nd of December.
