Government and Politics
History
Icarus was founded on CivRev as a parliamentary republic. Elections for the 5 seats of parliament were held every 3 months. Once an election concluded, parliament was tasked with appointing a prime minister and a president through a vote of no confidence. The prime minister's responsibilities included running the day-to-day operations of the country and conducting diplomacy, whereas the president served a mostly ceremonial role.
On April 12th, 2022 it was announced that Icarus would move towards becoming a semi-presidential republic. The president, now directly elected by the citizens, was given the authority to dissolve the parliament and represent the country during treaty and alliance negotiations. The powers of the commander of the army were also handed over to the president.
Transitional government
On April 14th, 2022 a national referendum was held, in which Icarians unanimously voted in favor of electing a temporary government that would oversee the transition to CivMC. In the presidential election IceBoy Board narrowly beat CredixYt with a margin of a single vote. Later that week Parliament voted to appoint LIQUID STEREO as prime minister of the new transitional government.

Diplomatic History
On June 6th, 2022, Icarus joined in the planning of a joint raid on the nation of Blockchainistan with the nations of Kingdom of ErrorL and 境界の西部共和国 for the sole purpose of getting players Abbyshapiro and TrustThePlan to log on so they could be pearled. This is because both players had raided Icarus days prior, destroying all their factories and taking most of their stuff. However, they never ended up logging on, making their involvement in the war pointless and caused them to face heavy backlash from their allies in COMRADES. This conflict is what ultimately led Icarus to leaving COMRADES for good.
