The Imperial Federation Secession crisis was a civil conflict on [[CivMC]] in the Imperial Federation beginning in early July of 2023 with a constitutional crisis starting in early August. It resulted in the the resignation of multiple government ministers, and the secession of multiple states.
=== The Legal Background of the Constitutional Crisis ===
Line 85 ⟶ 107:
=== The Secession of Southseasia ===
The Kingdom of Southseasia
While the Kingdom of Southseasia did not seek independence, it aimed for more autonomy, arguing that the state is being neglected and does not benefit from further centralization around the Deluvian states.
When the new constitution was pushed by the government, Southseasia demanded an article guaranteeing their autonomy as well as universal right to self determination for all states.
Chancellor King_Cuppar and citizen of Southseasia Potato_Duke negotiated in an attempt to find the middle ground. Negotiations failed, when King_Cuppar was exposed to be spreading disinformation about the negotiations, as well as stating that Deluvian states will give Southseasia an ultimatum to drop its demands or be kicked out of the federation.
The Kingdom of Southseasia would secede from the Imperial Federation on 1 August 2023. Citizen Potato_Duke and Chancellor King_Cuppar kept the discussion opened and both agreed that the Imperial Federation should let Southseasia go or face Unilateral secession. Under a threat of unilateral secession, Chancellor King_Cupar would quickly grant them a secession vote in the IF Parliament.
=== Attempted Elections and Constitutional Crisis ===
Despite protest by Chancellor Cupar, King Jalhf I and ComradeSankara would immediately move to prepare for parliamentary elections on 3 August citing the constitutional requirements of their positions. Despite calls from thejmqn and other members of parliament, Chancellor King_Cupar would refuse to cooperate with new Parliamentary elections. Instead, insisting that any elections should wait until after the passage constitution drafted by King_Cupar and thejmqn.
Line 104 ⟶ 134:
=== Secession of Surmadri ===
Surmadri would also secede from the Imperial Federation on the 5 August 2023
=== The Status of The Imperial Federation ===
After the secession of Grenada , the proposed new constitution had the support of 6 of 7 parliament members and a plurality of remaining senators. It was almost certain to pass and come into effect. Despite the imminent passage of their constitution, King_Cupar, HassDaMahn, dcruzyx, are working to form a proposed new nation: Asgard. Asgard would occupy IF territory consisting of IF states: Midgard, Joseon,
Vermont additionally seceded from the IF claiming the territory of the former states of Vermont, Gotland, and Regentsburgh. However Spoonce, one of the former leaders of Gotland claimed the state of Gotland for Rivia.
Remaining IF government officials have sustained their claims over a majority of IF territory. Current IF States as of August 30, 2023: Esberg, Halland, Nalora, Godhaven, Regentsburgh (Disputed), Meriecta, Lovira, Slum Town, and Slothistan (Formerly Anor Londo X).
=== Adoption of the First Constitution of The Imperial Federation ===
After the secession of multiple IF states, King Jalhf would start a direct election for chancellor for the first time since May 2023. Chancellor candidate [[ImmediateDescent]] from Halland won the election, making him the first Halland citizen to become the IF Chancellor. ImmediateDescent's first act as Chancellor was to drop the new constitution King_Cupar and TheJmqn wrote and instead revert the constitution back to the first constitution, also known as the Pre-May Constitution. It gained overwhelmingly supports across the nation for this re-adoption of the first constitution of the IF. Many complained that the parliamentary system made a party, like [[Unionist Party]], become the nation's one-party system and even eliminate any oppositions. Some of the IF Senators swore to never adopt the parliamentary system again.
=== Joseon Disputes ===
After the Asgard seceded from the IF, Joseon got annexed by Asgard suddenly. This led to the King and Chancellor reached out to the Asgard officials to begin negotiation regarding Joseon. A resident and farm maker [[Potato_Duke]] did not approve Asgard's action and requested negotiations to be held concerning the land and farm administration.
The Imperial Federation and Asgard held negotiations, which due to high tensions kept progressing slowly. Asgard increased the tensions by unilaterally placing city bastions on the farms owned by the Imperial Federation, which in response placed bastions on Kalengrad farms claimed by Asgard.
Negotiations between Asgard and the Imperial Federation concluded with Treaty of Joseon. Asgard was given control of the land in Joseon, while the Imperial Federation retained its control over the farms in Joseon. Both nations promised to remove the bastion from the farms. The Imperial Federation removed Kalengrad bastions soon after signing of the treaty, while Asgardian bastions remain in place months after the deadline.
=== New Callisto and Readmission of two former states ===
After the loss of Imperia, CapianColton sought to build a new capital city for the IF but under direct federal government control rather than a state. So he spearheaded in the location and theme- by choosing old military district for new capital city to be built on due to the strategic location as well as being more central location nearby every cities and towns in the eastern Deluvia. And choosing steampunk as the capital city's new theme to stand out of every cities in the server.<blockquote>"Never ever let a capital city be a state again." - CapianColton</blockquote>On October 2023, the Imperial Federation saw a boom in population, economy, and activity. Nalora, Regensburg, Esberg, and Sneg would be the most active states of the month as well as more IF states on the way to be more active in the coming weeks. Vouxia and Vermont rejoined the Imperial Federation as well as Imperial Federation recovered lost territories from multiple declaims caused by King_Cupar in the Summer of 2023. Imperial Federation now regained more than half of the Deluvia continent, and the IF citizens initiated colonization campaign in former Otonabee lands.
