After being settled in and becoming an integral part of the Varkonian Senate, BritishWanderer, still Chancellor of Gabon returned home to Salisbury to continue to work on the city alongside Councillor Gobblin. It did not take long for numerous issues to arise, internally Salisbury was suffering deep neglect with royal duties being off-loaded onto the already over-encumbered Council of which half were inactive at the time. The peaceful green flag protests occurred during November, where much of the citizenry held up green banners on their person and blocked roadways and other crucial infrastructure, the protestors demanded an end to the royal tax and an overview of the current system of governance.
Chancellor BritishWanderer swiftly put an end to the royal tax by pushing through a successful council vote to abolish the controversial levy. The Queen, GetSkinny, was insulted by the fact she had not been consulted over this matter due to the fact that royal taxes directly kept the royal estates afloat, although Her Majesty did not push it further than publicly voicing her displeasure.

'''Circa November 9th''']]After the quelling of the citizenry, Gobblin & BritishWanderer set about constructing and renovating current building projects within the centre of Salisbury. The underground portion of the train station was updated to a modern standard and granted the title of `''International''` by the Government of Varkonia. Homes were planned and built up around the central fountain in Salisbury with priority given to house councillors and active citizenry. Councillor Gobblin encouraged excavation of nearby areas in search of minerals, namely diamonds to fund the purchase of resources for Salisbury, while Chancellor BritishWanderer sought out those without a home from far and away to come to Salisbury and assist in construction and the start of a new era, most notably of all those who came as a result of this is ChrisFa99.
Her Majesty, GetSkinny, unhappy with the current state of affairs, demanded that the royal tax be readministered to the local citizenry in order to fund the construction of Balmoral. The Council rejected her proposals in favour of supporting the growth of Salisbury rather than the monarchy. Tensions between The Queen and her councillors had reached its boiling point,
On the 9th of November The Queen branded her Chancellor and the fellow Councillors as traitors and declared a civil war in order to restore the absolute power of the monarchy and declared independence from Varkonia. Citizenry within Salisbury were split down the middle with regards to political support of either side, most of those residing in poorer sections of Salisbury supported the rebels led by BritishWanderer supported by [[Varkonia]] & [[Hjaltland]], while those living closest to Balmoral felt a deeper connection and inevitably supported the Monarchy. Her Majesty allowed the military forces of Gabon to commit what they must for a victory, who committed brash violence in small skirmishes throughout the city in alleyways and parks. Many sympathisers tried to hide from the loyalists however most were found, arrested or murdered in cold blood. Gabonese rebel forces led by BritishWanderer and a Varkonian Legion led by S4NTA entered Salisbury from the west in order to take back the city and put a swift end to the civil war.

Once the aptly named stone crisis was declared over by the Council, labour immediately began on the renovations of Salisbury International Station, the scale comparatively to the station at the time was colossal, stationed underground at nearly 100 blocks tall, it was a tremendous upgrade and became a grand entrance for any tourists or travellers passing through. The construction was the most efficient project of its size in the history of Salisbury, being designed, collecting resources for and built all in the same working day. The days following, old rail lines were re-linked up to the new international station and holes were dug out in anticipation for future rail line extensions to Nyasaland, Gensokyo & Tvtopia.
