''Not to be confused with [[Nyasaland]].''
The '''Commonwealth of Nyasaland''' is the current incarnation of the historical territory of Nyasaland. Nyasaland was first settled in mid 2017, and soon proclaimed a Republic under the Nyasan Constitution. Nyasaland prospered for a time under the Republic, building the city of Palgrave, developing surrounding areas and holding cordial relationships with all neighbours. ▼

Nyasaland eventuallyshortly grewafterwards inactivefell into a period of inactivity however, with the island falling under the protection of a number of states during this period; eventually Nyasaland was revived under the state of Annwyn in November 2018, a country existing in the former southern territory of the Nyasan Republic. The 'Annwyn Archduchy' existed for nearly a month, until a peaceful agreement for a transition to independence on the 21st December.
 
On the 4th4 April 2019, Nyasaland entered a new era with a massive political reformation with the enactment of a new Constitution, and the declaration of a Commonwealth of Nyasaland. The Commonwealth only lasted until the 18 May when the Queen Syurii started to remove Baron Benny from the vault groups. BennyZ who was online at the time realised what was going on and was able to save most of the important groups and the stolen groups were fixed after a few hours of work. On 22 May, BennyZ and cat_alunya proclaimed the establishment of the [[Nyasaland|Socialist Federal Republic of Nyasaland]], effectively ending the Commonwealth of Nyasaland.

The Nyexit Debacle is long, complicated, and many parts of it remain classified. Suffice to say, it was the two-day period surrounding what was eventually Nyasaland's seperation from Annwyn. The country had been steadily growing, strong with nationalistic fervor - the latest outlet of which was the release of the new Anthem, Fair Nyasaland. Seeing this, and with defensive concerns of their own, Annwyn offered an independence referendum to Nyasaland in which they would be free to stay or leave.
Line 196 ⟶ 184:
The country's second national election came on the 23rd January, with some functional changes following constitutional amendments. This was backed by an advisory poll, in which citizens voted overwhelmingly to conduct elections via instant-runoff voting and once every month, on the 23rd, as opposed to every two months.
 
The election saw a decreased turnout of 71% down from 90%, but with a larger electorate, with 15 votes cast, up from 9 in December. The recently-formed NCP proved to be a surprisingly potent electoral force, and was in fact in the lead during the first 24 hours of polling, and garnering support from all sectors of Nyasan society. HoweverThe Noble Womb did poorly, enjoying a high level of general support across Nyasan society - evidenced by seven second-preference votes - but had lost many of its dedicated supporters among the Sisterhood after the Belle Mutiny, and had been hard-hit by the splitting off of the NCP. The old guard in the NWP prevailedhowever would ultimately prevail with a majority of first preference votes, and the election did not go to a second stage.
 
Electoral data revealed that the NWP attracted either diehard support, or complete opposition; evidenced by their almost complete lack of second preference votes.
Line 247 ⟶ 235:
The February Election saw a decreased turnout and electorate of 12 votes down from 15. The circumstances around the election were particularly different, with two-term First Minister, former Governor and political titan on the Nyasan stage, cat_alunya, stating she would not run for a third term. For her services to the nation over many months, she would become the second ever recipient of a Knights Order of Benny, Nyasaland's highest decoration.
 
The NWP chose icedog68, a Tanganyankan, as their candidate, who won the election with a large majority. Support for other parties, especially the Conservationist Party, fell away in the election, and the newly-formed Dixie Nationalist Party did not make an impressive electoral debut; notably however Vice was Nyasaland's first ever male candidate for public office.

This election saw the first candidacy of Adil, a newfriend who chose to run for his own Better Nyasaland Party. As the sole member of the party he managed to garner an impressive 2 votes. Adil however, was not the only one to gather an impressive number of votes; March saw a 300% increase in the amount of votes for KogasaVice and the DNP, who stuck it out until the third round but was unfortunately beaten. This was also probably helped by an extensive, week-long campaign by the DNP leading up to the election, which included a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoCvhtU95Qs campaign video].

The day after the election, on the 24th of March, Nyasaland finally joined the United Northern Congress, the alliance which had been courting them for some time.

▲Along with other political upheavals in early April came separate events which would eventually lead to the end of the Dominion of Yonder-Dixie. Cracks had been emerging in the union between Nyasaland and Yonder-Dixie for some time, with the sordid affair mostly being propped up by the personal rapport between Syurii Palgrave and ScreennameVice, the Governor-General and Duke of Antietam.
Screenname however was not well liked however among the rest of the Nyasan populace - many of his votes in the March election came from political disgruntlement rather than true support - and this tension came to a head on the 31st March, when he was killed and briefly pearled by a gang of disgruntled Nyasans and Gensokyojins in the Palgrave storehouse. This transpired while Syurii Palgrave was asleep, and once she woke up she quickly had an anyeurism, shouted herself hoarse, and had Screenname hastily released. However this event was a bridge too far, and would catalyze the long-growing tension to lead to the end of the Nyasan-Appomattox/Yonder-Dixie amalgamation; it was clear the situation was no longer tenable, and any goodwill which and underscored the union had crumbled.▼

==== April Election ====
Line 436 ⟶ 427:
The pearls of Lordchieftan and Tacilus were transferred to Nyasaland for indefinite imprisonment in Chastity, while Mir intended to keep Pirater, having their own claims on him for his cooperation with Rhodesia. Subsequently, five out of six members of the attack on Palgrave were in Nyasan custody, as well as an additional Channer; Iakwai however remained on the loose, being seen fleeing north past Mythril.
 
With Pirater, the ruler of Sovia-Verda, not only partaking in the attack but being later pearled, Nyasaland [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/bbcfnf/nyasaland_declares_annexation_of_soviaverda/ declared the annexation of Sovia-Verda], including the restoration of the original ruler, Magmus, who Pirater had exiled. In a feeble attempt to impair the Nyasan occupation of Sovia-Verda, Pirater, while exiled, STO & IRO-griefed his own city, Crowsroost. However, a group of Nyasans later in the day who came to enact the annexation quickly cleaned up the city.
 
===== The Subreddit War =====

With the Channers and Sovians, despite their extensive preparations, being immediately militarily annihilated by a bunch of unprepared transgender hillbillies with completely unoptimised pot bunker, they had to resort to the subreddit to complain. A slew of posts were made on the r/civclassics subreddit, at one point ten being on the 'new' page concurrently. These can be seen below;
Line 448 ⟶ 443:
https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/bck9su/the_leadership_of_nyasaland_refuses_diplomacy/<br>
 
These were generally marked by complaining about their sentences, empty threats, slurs, and general nastiness. Ironically, their absolute spam of the subreddit probably helped to turn more people off of their plight with their incessant whining, than inure them to it. These essentially ceased following aan major[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/bcz2ts/official_nyasaland_statement_on_sentencing/ Nyasalandofficial Nyasan statement] on the sentencing of the attackers, which also included a general information release, including [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2CYW8A5At4 a video of the Battle of Palgrave]
 
===== Sovian Insurgency =====
Pirater, the former leader of [[Sovia]], was extremely vocal on both the subreddit and in the server's global chat, and thus managed to succeed in stirring up anti-Nyasan and anti-[[UNC]] sentiment in some quarters, particularly in random newfriends who he harangued. The lack of involvement by the [[Jargon|Channers]], combined with the stated motivation to 'free Sovia' among insurgents, led to this being known as the Sovian insurgency.
 
The insurgency was rapidly heavily infiltrated by UNC agents, giving extensive information on planned attacks and storage locations; this was of great use to countinsurgencycounter insurgency operations, a great number of which focused on locating and confiscating remaining stockpiles of TNT and End Crystals.
 
On the 13th, a brief and abortive attack on Palgrave took placebyplace by one of Pirater's recruited newfriends, [[AngryPepsi]]; he was very quickly pearled having dealt nearly no damage to the city, though equipped with a number of End Crystals and TNT. Having been spoken to by Nyasans, who generally understood him to be a confused newfriend, he was judged to pose no further threat and given the option to pay his way out of imprisonment with diamonds or face a week's sentence. Using funds that were later understood to be lent by Pirater, he quickly paid his 'bail', and relocated to [[Icenia]]. He soon launched another attack against the Bloom-Icenia rail line, on the 15th, before being quickly pearled.
 
Icenia generated a brief period of concern among the UNC as a potential terrorist haven; many of the attackers, not just Sovians but Channer as well, had taken up residency there while exile-pearled, and LordChieftan in fact once held government office. These eventually led to an eruption of tensions with neighbouring Bloom, with [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/bdhrdv/bloomians_have_griefed_the_icenian_rail_which_we/ one private citizen illegally blocking off the rail line to Icenia]. UNC-Icenian negotiations obtained consensus however, and the Icenian authorities would soon crack down on insurgent stockpiles within their land and enact searches of the residences of the former attackers, locating most of the materiel that would have been used for future attacks.

New priorities after independence was achieved lead to the NFP's reformation into the Nyational Workers Party.

Originally obscure due to the Dominion's low population, the DNP garnered some support during the March Election due to the NWP First Minister icedog68's lacklustre term, but due to polarisation on the character of Duke ScreennameVice, lost out to the NWP in the second and third rounds.

However, only a week after the signing of the Choral Pact, the Sisterhood of the Bell, based out of Bell Harbour in Typha, launched a rebellion which tore the country, and the faith of Choralism, apart. The details of this rebellion can be read in full above, but the aftermath lead to a schism in Choralism further between official State Choralism, and the apocalyptic sort which continued to be practised by the Sisterhood exiles in small pockets across the world. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e44DQjAxlyLboSTlRjCge7_8vNNzn6pkLrOJsYO81iA/edit The Great State Chorus was reorganised], with the official dismissal of claravoyant as High Mother, and the establishment of a series of standardised bell shrines across Nyasaland.
 
=== Other Religions ===
Despite Choralism being a state religion, Nyasaland is in reality quite religiously diverse; there is an Aphroditic shrine in the cliffside of Nyasaland, the Palgrave catacombs are home to occultists and kabbalists, and Lutrelia worships the Krohil Pantheon - the former Dominion of Yonder-Dixie also practiced Nelsonism. There are also rumours of cultish behaviour at the highest echelons of the Nyational Workers Party involving severed head reverence.
