Orinnari: Difference between revisions

On 24th February 2020, [[ImperatorMendes]] approached the government of [[Ashelor]] with a proposition to build a vault within [[Ashelor|Ashelor's]] red desert. Orinnari and [[Alzdadog|Aleh]] immediately had immediate concerns, mostly to do with its proximity andto the implications that would have on the town of [[Ashelor]], and the implications that would have but also what it would mean in terms of borders, since it would meanbe a dramatic reduction in [[Ashelor|Ashelor's]] then already small land claims. After some research into [[Adina]]'s laws and constitution to figure out the specifics of how a land transfer would occur, he found that there wasn't anything specific pertaining to land jurisdiction with the sole exception of the "Ashelor Integration Act" which stated that [[Ashelor]] would retain its borders, thus implying that those borders meant something. This was backed up by the fact that [[Adina]] was ''requesting'' [[Ashelor]] for the land rather than acquisitioning it, thus implying that [[Ashelor]] could in fact refuse.

On 14th March 2020, which was only two days after thea newnewly elected [[Adina|Adinan]] government was elected (thonking), the mood suddenly changed when: [[matanic]] sent [[Ashelor]] a rather scathing message which stated in no uncertain terms that the government of [[Adina]] was disappointed with the request for compensation; that they understood that [[Ashelor]] (supposedly) didn't feel [[Adina|Adinan]]; that other states do feel [[Adina|Adinan]] and thus would give up their land if it were them; that [[Ashelor]] should start acting like a state; that [[Ashelor]] doesn't deserve to be a state; that if [[Ashelor]] citizens wished to exercise their [[Adina|Adinan]] rights (such as running for election) then they should act like [[Adina|Adinans]]; that [[Adina]] will be "clarifying" its laws and constitution to give powers to the federal government to be able to take land from states without asking.

AsThis youwas cantaken imaginepoorly thisby wasn't taken well,[[Ashelor]] but civil discussions began nonetheless about how to transition [[Ashelor]] into a different type of territory within [[Adina]] that granted more autonomy. However they were soon made privy to the fact that [[Adina]] was, as part of their clarifications, be updating its constitution soto thatstrip autonomous territories wouldof no longer gettheir voting rights on the federal laws they'd still have to followlaw. This was seen by [[Ashelor]] as a blatant attempt to coerce them into either handing over thetheir land as a good little state would, or to acceptaccepting a form of self-imposed and federally enforced isolation from [[Adina]], thus giving credence to the idea that [[Ashelor]] wasn't really [[Adina|Adinan]]. It was also not lost on [[Ashelor]] that the federal government could, in theory, pass federal legislation requiring [[Ashelor]] to relinquish theits land anyway, so in an abundance of caution, [[Ashelor]] pursued independence, becoming independent on 19th March 2020.

A little over a month later on the 11th October 2020, Orinnari convinced many of the [[Bloom|Bloomeans]] to migrate to [[Ashelor]], spawning a large set of law and treaty changes including secession from [[Yoahtl]], though not for any hostile purposes but simply as a means of self-determination as the circumstances had changed from the accession. Indeed within a week, [[Ashelor]] had gone from one active citizen to sixteen. Among the many changes to [[Ashelor]] was the abolition of the Royal Prerogative ([https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/ashelor/orinnari-execution/ watch Orinnari's execution]), which put [[Ashelor|Ashelor's]] laws into disarray, requiring many proposals through the Citizens' Assembly to piece [[Ashelor|Ashelor's]] laws back together in a form that the [[Bloom|Bloomeans]] consented to. The day after (12th October 2020) [[Slushhi]] was elected as Prime Minister, and soon after came the beginnings of the trenched city now known as Denver, the new capitol of [[Ashelor]], the idea being that the city would offer reasonable security to all citizens who resided within it, thus avoiding some of the issues that open planned cities often fall prey to.

On the 10th January 2021, Orinnari sought a new project. [[Ashelor]] was firmly established but was quickly turningfading inactiveinto againinactivity. [[Ashelor]] had the disadvantage of being remote so travellingthat travel to and from other nations took aan longinordinate amount of time. Nor did [[Ashelor]] have any neighbours or, allies, or foes. Once people had built their houses there wasn't much left to do. [[Slushhi]] became the last bastion of activity, so once he decided to take a break, the last few who logged in here and there went dormant too. This issue was compounded by the increasing popularity of [[Icenia]] with its promisespromise of juicy drama and government positions, but also the launching of [[Devoted Hell]]. Either way, Orinnari felt it would be inappropriate to start making changes to [[Ashelor]] without the consent of the citizens and so began considering a small project nearby to other nations. He noticed the sickle shaped area named [[Brodre]] on the map, where upon visiting discovered was abandoned to the point where the reinforcements were so decayed as to break on the second hit. On the 26th January 2021, Orinnari officially published the preliminary borders of the newly found nation: the Admiralty of Wesbury.
