Domestically, a great deal was also achieved. Votes were held for the national anthem, location of the capitol district, and it's name. Planning for the previously mentioned capitol began as well. With the rising number of political parties, a bill made by Pandastical passed in the Senate and created standards for them. Infrastructure was created, both rails and ice roads, as well as a great overland road linking the nation together. Perhaps the greatest achievement of his administration was successful recruitment of new players, mostly newfriends, causing the nation's population to skyrocket. Going into the Second Election, JAW689 was expected to have an easy victory, before it was announced that he would not run again due to personal reasons.

In retaliation Okx would lava-bomb the WIP capital, Imperia. A cat-and-mouse game would ensue, with Okx being chased, logging off, chased again; rinse and repeat. Eventually, it was decided that pearling him wouldn't be worth the effort. A sum total of around 120~ diamonds would be funded by S0uthw3st and future Chancellor (at the time, Senator) Spoonce, and the islands were purchased. The conflict would see a cooperation between Icarians, Imperials and Matland-ers to face Okx. However, it's outcome would not be popular amongst the general public, and contribute to S0uthw3st's loss in the next election.

''For more information, see [[31-2 January Imperial Federation Election]].''
The Imperial Federation held it's fourth federal election from the 31st of December 2022, to the 2nd of January 2023. With no incumbents, candidates would be [[Jahlf]], S0uthw3st, [[wilwithonel]] and [[CoolChacha97]]. No debate could be organized in time; however, many questions were sent to and answered by the candidates. The election would create the Imperial Federation's greatest scandal to date, the [[Chacha-Slide Scandal]]. In the end, Jahlf would become the new Chancellor of the Imperial Federation.
On September 15, 2023, the Imperial Federation publicized a vote sheet of the fourth federal election as a part of the Freedom of Information Act. This makes the fourth federal election the largest election in Civ history with 84 voters total<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12OkggEo-FodP_14aSFC3Ub-w4klBfbWx9CDyJyrQzTA/edit#gid=784159806</ref>.

Line 302 ⟶ 321:
Jalhf's immediate priority upon coming into office was cleaning up the remnants of the Chacha-Slide Scandal. With the help of [[King_Cupar]], he negotiated with k0mmi, Docker_Image and Icenian officials to settle things. The scandal was resolved there, however, threats of a new one did come up when CoolChacha97 became a Senator. Sure enough, he quickly said several inflammatory things regarding the nether. Jalhf helped implement a rule allowing the Senate to kick out a member with a 2/3 vote. CoolChacha97 would instead become an 'infrastructure advisor' due to his great works in advanced XP production. He would run in the February election.
During Jalhf's chancellory, the nation would begin producing advanced XP for itself, a promise made by several chancellors to this point. With the help of Chief-of-Staff BikMik, the military would also be re-organized, creating a 'military-support' role for non-geared citizens to join. These all helped the nation be more self-sufficient, which was becoming a rising concern as Pavia left its alliance with the
Chancellor Jalhf would also begin the de-claiming of it's unused land, wanting to diminish it's unnecessary size. This followed the actions of Pavia and Icarus. Near the tail end of his Chancellory, he would also kickstart a program of western development. Halland and Surmadri became states in his reign, as well as the re-organization of Myra. Development on the capital Imperia, however, stalled.
=== Jalfian Era ===
The most defining event of Jalhf's chancellorship was the abdication of longtime monarch King_Cupar. He cited burnout, and international attitudes towards newfriends, as the reason for his abdication. For his countless work in the IF, he was granted the status of Emperor by the Senate, and later canonized as the patron saint of the Imperial Federation. He would choose Jalhf as his successor, which was confirmed by the Senate. An amendment package proposed by the Imperial Federation general counsel was later passed by the Senate, to provide the nation with stable governance. Jalhf would be King and Chancellor for a period of ten days, ending right around the end of the next election.
At the same time as Cupar's abdication, the Pridelands announced that it would be leaving the Imperial Federation. The treaty welcoming them into the IF always held a provision allowing them to leave. Leader Bstallio explained that the Pridelands had initially joined to help the IF start up and develop, along with creating a community. Now that both were completed, the Pridelands decided it was time to leave. 'Prexit' would quickly become a defining topic in the political discourse, and would be the most passionate point of debate in the February Debate and election.

====
After being elected at the beginning of the month of February, ComradeSankara served 3 consecutive terms as Chancellor (the longest term to date). The Imperial Federation saw a period of relative inactivity during the month of March as many players joined [[King_Cupar]] and [[Zhirall]] to play in the nation of [[Laurentia]] on [[CivReign]] until their return in April.
====
8 out of 9 senators subsequently joined the party and they were supported by pro-reformist HassDaMahn in his campaign for Chancellor of the Imperial Federation. On 3 May 2023, HassDaMahn was elected as the Chancellor of the Imperial Federation with over 80% of the vote, signalling rising support for reform and democratization in the IF.
The reforms resulted in the establishment of a democratic parliament and centralization efforts in the Imperial Federation towards the states of [[Imperia]] and [[Midgard]]. The first Parliamentary election of the Imperial Federation held on 15 May 2023 yielded a landslide result for the pro-reform United Constitution Party who won 83% of first preference votes and 8 out of 9 Members of Parliament, with TheJmqn being elected as an independent MP. The United Constitution Party also achieved super-majority by having of 6 out of 9 Senators.
On 6 June 2023, the United Constitutional Party rebranded itself to the "Unionist Party". On the same date, the Imperial Federation announced its intention to co-host a Summer Olympic Games with [[Venne (CivMC)|Venne]].
During HassDaMahn's premiership, large portions of unused land were declaimed by the Imperial Federation for new nations to use. [[CCTT]] became independent from the IF and later disbanded, while the [[Pridelands]] rejoined the nation and was reorganized into federal land. The Imperial Federation remained neutral during the [[2023 Butternut–SEC Conflict]] and welcomed in war refugees as part of the Blue Cross program.
At the start of June 2023, [[SlothInASuit]]'s resignation as a Member of Parliament triggered a by-election being fought by [[Aetherix]] of the Unionist Party who adopted a meme platform against TheRisenUndead and ThisPurple who stood as independents supporting similar centralization, militarization and unionist policies to the Unionist Party, with outsider candidates TheArgonite_ standing for the International Bezist Labor Coalition and TheGelatoh running as an Independent. Aetherix won the by-election with 48.5% of the vote on the first round and 62% of the vote on the fourth round, with Independent candidates collectively winning 42.4% of first round votes and the International Bezit Labor Coalition candidate winning 9.1% of the vote.

King_Cupar was elected as Chancellor of the Imperial Federation following the election with the backing of Unionist Party MPs.
Cupar's first act as Chancellor was to pearl fellow MP Zhirall. Following the first meeting of the nation's Parliament, Cupar and [[Potato_Duke]] led an assault of thirteen citizens to bomb [[Thoria]] as revenge for the bombing of Freeport Lighthouse in November 2022.
A few days later Cupar attempted to install [[SlothInASuit]] as King of the Imperial Federation in a failed coup d'état which led to the brief pearling of King_Cupar, Jalhf and TrueToneMatters and independence calls from states and territories across the nation, before Jalhf was restored as King and order restored.
A national by-election was held between 7-8 July 2022 following the suspension of Argonite as an MP due to his failure to disclose or end his involvement in the governance of [[Truidencia]].
[[TheRisenUndead]] of the Unionist Party successfully won the election with 61% of votes cast, with the newly formed Democrat-Accelerationist Coalition winning 26% of the vote and independent candidates securing 12%.
Support for the UP was strongest in Imperia, Midgard and outlying states and territories, whilst the Democrat-Accelerationist Coalition won majority support in Surmadri, Meriecta and Godhaven.

{{For-text|full article|[[Imperial Federation attempted coup d'etat]]}}
On 27 July 2023, the leader of [[Anor Londo X]] was pearled by Defence Minister [[Dcruzyx]] following the unravelling of a coup d'etat attempt headed by [[SlothInASuit]] against the democratically elected government of the Imperial Federation.
===== Imperial Federation Secession Crisis =====
{{For-text|full article|[[Imperial Federation Secession Crisis]]}}A constitutional crisis caused by a variety of factors resulted in the states of CCTT, Pride Isle, Grenada, Surmadri, Southseasia and North Africa seceding from the Imperial Federation.
==== 12-15 August 2023 Election ====
''For more information, please see the [[12-15 August Imperial Federation Election]] page.''
Following the Secession Crisis resulted in multiple government members resigned from their positions and multiple states seceded after the accusation of Grenadian Leader Sankara. The direct election for Chancellor would be held for the first time since May 2023, five candidates participated: immediateDescent, Potato_Duke, Tr1ckyD1ckNixon, Spaceman_Spleef, and OnceDoceTrece. A debate would be held a day before polls opened. ImmediateDescent would end up becoming the new Chancellor of the Imperial Federation.
==== The ImmediateDescent Chancellory ====
In a wake of the secession crisis, first move as the Chancellor was to revert the constitution back to the original constitution prior to the May 2023, the month when the Imperial Federation adopted second constitution. The Senate voted to strip King_Cupar of Emperor and Patron Saint title for his attempts to destroy the nation through illegal secessions. The Joseon Dispute would continue throughout the ImmediateDescent's term. It also saw the readmission of Esberg and Anor Londo X (also Slothistan) back to the Imperial Federation as a state, some of the former IF states are considering to readmit back in the Imperial Federation. Several IF states including Nalora and Hallands saw the rise in the population which that have significantly boosted activity throughout the nation, making the Imperial Federation one of the most active nation in Deluvia continent since the secession crisis.
=====
Regentsburgh population were frustrated with the Founder of Regentsburgh King_Cupar's decision on the independence of Regentsburgh and tried to find a reason to justify independence but to no avail. The current Regentsburgh leader [[Asgeir]] alongside with the residents expressed their desires (also Asgeir gave blessing to the Federal Government to readmit Regentsburgh back in the Imperial Federation) to rejoin the Imperial Federation and re-unify with the IF State of Regentsburgh. It eventually rejoined the IF and reunited rest of the state of Regentsburgh.
=====
After the loss of the Imperia State to Asgard, CapianColton sought to build a new capital from ground with a different theme, name, and location. Colton chose a abandoned military district stated:<blockquote>This land for our New Capital is much more strategic and perfectly closer to - even central location of - the most populous area on the Deluvia continent. We will rebuild, we will make a big comeback, glory to the IF!</blockquote>The New Capital construction would be headed by CapianColton and spearheaded in the blueprint planning, location for each buildings, name for the capital city, and even railroad network. It is said that the new capital will be much more complete and faster to build than Imperia due to the design and choice of materials. First two buildings would be completed within two days after creation of new schematics and more will be built in the coming days.
===== Slow Expansion of the Imperial Federation =====
After a major setback caused by the secession crisis, the IF managed to gain few new lands such as Waterside and Halland's expansion. Nalora became the most populated and active state in the IF, surpassed Godhaven and Regentsburgh combined. The military of the Imperial Federation, also known as the Federal Army, is being rebuild. It is rumored that the Federal Army is consisted of mostly [[Nalora|Nalorans]] due to the Nalora's martial traditions.
==== 27-29 September 2023 Election ====
''For more information, please see the [[27-29 September Imperial Federation Election]] page.''
The election would be held on September 27 after 40 days since the last election result passed. The September 2023 election saw one of the lowest voting turnout to this date, this low turnout were contributed by the secession crisis and school year directly. The two candidates in the election were Potato_Duke from Sneg and Spaceman_Spleef from Halland. Election analysts predicted a large victory for Potato_Duke, as there was little opposition to his policies.

==== The First Potato_Duke Chancellory ====
[[File:Interimmessage.png|thumb|Potato_Duke's message to the citizenry midway through his first term as chancellor.]]
The First Potato_Duke chancellor began on October 1, 2023 and saw the rapid regrowth of the Imperial Federation. Potato_Duke's diplomatic prowess and international connections allowed the Imperial Federation to greatly improve its international standing, especially its Public Relations and diplomatic position. The threat of [[Asgard]] on the border was greatly diminished as the nation fell into inactivity, thus leaving the Imperial Federation unchallenged on the continent of Deluvia. The population increased drastically due to recruitment efforts and better national infrastructure, especially in the newly established capital of [[New Callisto]]. [[Anor Londo X]], [[Vouxia]], and [[Sneg]] were officially incorporated as states and territories. The Imperial Federation expanded west with the passage of the Federal District West Act of October 24th. The constitution was also officially amended for the first time since the secession crisis, which led to the establishment of an official Independent Judiciary Branch, the establishment of the office of the Vice Chancellor, and the official relocation of the capital from [[Imperia]] to [[New Callisto]].
====
The 12-14 November 2023 election was the first Imperial Federation election to have two votes due to the reestablishment of the judiciary. Citizens cast their vote for chancellor, as well as for their choice of People's Judge of the Imperial Federation. Incumbent chancellor Potato_Duke ran for a second term, claiming to need to finish the progress that had been started. He was contested by [[CyanForest813]] of [[Nalora]]. For the first election of Citizen's judge, [[JudeTheDude113]] of [[Regensburg]] ran against [[Regencyshadow40]] of [[Nalora]]. Election analysis predicted a large Potato_Duke victory for chancellor and a toss-up for judge. Potato_Duke ran under the newly established [[Deluvian Royalist Party]], while CyanForest813 ran as an independent.

{{User:S0uthw3st/IF Timeline}}[[File:IFGovernment.png|thumb|Government System of the Imperial Federation (Correction: King is the Primary Diplomat, not Chancellor)]]
Following democratic reforms implemented in May 2023, the Parliament of the Imperial Federation is elected using the Single Transferable Vote proportional voting system, while one Senator is appointed from qualifying states which have at least 3 active citizens. Territories of the nation are allowed to appoint Senators to observe and contribute to the Senate without a vote. However after the [[Imperial Federation Secession Crisis|Great Secession]], the Senate of the Imperial Federation voted to revert the democratic reform of May 2023 back to the original government system and constitution.
The Chancellor of the Imperial Federation is elected by the popular vote, voted by citizens that are active in the last 30 days at the time of the Federal Election Day. While one Senator is appointed from qualifying states which have at least 3 active citizens. Qualifying states can also have multiple Senators if a qualifying state have more than 8 active citizens in the last 30 days. Currently [[Nalora]] is the only state with two Senators. The 3 Judges are elected by the popular vote, also voted by citizens that are active in the last 30 days at the time of the Federal Election Day.
The King is the primary diplomat of the Imperial Federation while Chancellor is the secondary diplomat.

== Foreign Affairs ==
=== Current Allies and diplomatic relations ===
On 22 May 2023, the IF signed a treaty of mutual defense with [[Don Fuer]] known as the [[Frostlands Treaty]]. On 24 July 2023, the IF entered the [[Builders United for an International League of Defense|B.U.I.L.D.]] alliance with [[Mount Augusta]] and [[Fempire Union]], later expanded to [[Arsenia]], [[New Jersey]], and Amicitia.
The Imperial Federation renewed relations with [[Pavia]] through [[Council of Universal Betterment]] (C.U.B.) on 25 October, 2023.
During the first Chancellor term of Potato_Duke, the Imperial Federation opened direct diplomatic channels with nations of Icenia, Pavia, Estalia, Yoahtl and Gang Shi. These channels were part of Potato_Duke's policy of connecting the Imperial Federation with the other communities in order to get to know each other and to be able to quickly resolve any potential problems.
=== Former Allies ===
The Imperial Federation were allied to the neighboring nations of [[Pridelands]], [[Hyperborean Confederation]] and [[Venne]] as part of the [[Meridiem Compact]] from 16 September 2022 until their withdrawal from the alliance alongside the [[Pridelands]] on 23 December 2022, a nation which joined the Imperial Federation.
The IF also maintained an alliance with [[Pavia]] and [[Venne]] as part of the [[Four Continent Concordat]] from 15 October 2022 until Pavia's departure from the alliance on 20 January 2023.
The Imperial Federation had a bilateral defensive alliance with the [[Arsenio Pact]], know as IFAP, from 12 April 2023 until the dissolution of the Arsenio Pact at the conclusion of the [[Buttsecs War]] on 29 June 2023.
=== Neighbors ===
The IF maintains amicable relations with the neighboring nations of [[Akawija]], [[Venne]], [[Icarus (Second Republic)|Icarus]] (now part of [[Icenia (CivMC)|Icenia]]), and [[Mercutio]], while relations with [[Otonabee]] and the [[Leibniz Confederation]] have been strained. The IF has mixed relations with [[Thoria]] following a long-running dispute after members of Thoria bombed a lighthouse in [[Freeport]] in November 2022, a claims dispute in July 2023 and Thorian leader [[MrCooCooman]] conducted minor raiding in the IF for which he was pearled on 12 July 2023.
Since August 2023, the relations between the IF and Thoria has improved significantly after the secession crisis. Several of other nations including the [[Kingdom of Southseasia]] and some former IF states like [[Grenada]] and [[Walled City of Surmadri|Surmadri]] also improved relations with the IF and working toward to a close partnership between the IF and former IF states through the [[Union of the South Sea|Union of the South Sea alliance]].
