kdeeks | 7 October 2017 | 9 October 2018 | Franklin | kdeeks, originally one of five founders of Columbia on Devoted 3.0, served as Grand Duke and later Kaiser/Emperor of Columbia until his abdication of the throne following his involvement in the Mount Augusta Revolutionary Front and gifting of the national Discord server to members of Rhodesia, who then terrorized and altered it. Initially his rule was that of an absolute monarch, until the New Year's Compromise was ratified after a period of his inactivity, greatly limiting his powers and installing a constitutional government to represent his will. Over the course of his reign, he would largely shift the nation away from a culture based on middle America to one based on Prussia/Imperial Germany, and play party politics to enact his policies. His adopted son, LegalityX, would hold the title of Grand Prince of Columbia until it was renounced and he was removed from Columbia following his exile pearling by the Holy Jaded Empire. After LegalityX, kdeeks would select Baes20 to be his Grand Prince, until the abdication of the Franklin Dynasty. |
